formed his audience They had been visfbiy impressed by his straightfor- ward and frank address. The Corner men eompiimented 1t no less than did the Cunningham men. The Bibb coun- " friends of tho Governor were much pleased with the speech saying that U was bound to have deep effect on the audience which represented the beats surrounding HaYsop Church.
 Driving home from the church at the conclusion of the address Toll Mur- phy. one of the best known and one or the most successful farmers of Bibb county. said
 .That's the sort of speech I love to hear. He told us something and he gave us something to think about. I was a friend of Mir. Conner before but this time l am going to vote for Dr. Cunningham. Some of the merchants in Centerviile and some Of the people around here come to me and say Com CTS the man for Governor but can't see il that way Conner is running for Governor on one thing and he can't talk about any other thing and be- sides that th- people gave hin, m office and he has never done anything in It.
