Another illustration is the growth
of the rural free delivery service.
When l was first elected as your
representative an appropriation of
fifty thousand dollars was being
made for this service, then and for
several years prior thereto, in the
experimental stage. While there
is much discussion and difference of
opinion as to the originator of this
great service now ramifying every
state and county, requiring thirty
millions of dollars annually for it's
support, there is no question that
the democratic party is responsible
at least equally with the majority
party for its great expansion and
the beneficent results following
therefrOm.
Coming down to later days, moth
ing but the constant pressure of the
democratic party in congress added
the new star Of Oklahoma to our
flag. The railroad rate bill is
the result of republican and
democratic conferences, and may
very properly be called a non
partisan measure. Nothing, how
ever, but the constant goading of
the republicans by democrats
brought that party around to the
consideration of such legislation.
Whether we are successful or not
in carrying the next house it will
be the democratic aim to press tar
if revision, as it has pressed the
other measures named above, al
though see no hope Of escape for
the people from unjust tariff exac-
tiOns without a democratic admins

That we have often been instru-
mental in defeating bad legislation
no well informed man will deny.
have called attention to these
matters solely to show the demo
Gratis of the second district that, in
spite of the frequent declaration OF
the croaker to the contrary, the
democratic party, even as MI
nority, has always been of great
service to the country. The sixth
unanimous nomination to congress
by the democrats of the second
Georgia district is compliment OF
which any man should be proud.
Coming, always as now, with such
generous expression of your conf
dence, | am unable to return my
thanks in words. A failure to serve
YOU faithfully and energetically with
all the powers atmy command would
be base ingratitude. 1t gives me
great pleasure to accept the nomi-
nation, and to pledge you and,
through you, the people OF this dis
trict my most faithful service.
Thanking you gentlemen person
ally and assuring you of my highest
regard, l remain, sincerely yours:

JUDGE GRIGGS ACCEPTS
o,xrp DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
FOR CONGRESS.
n,;,+s Ont the Service of the Demo-
cratic Party, Though in the
Minority, to the People.

Judge Griggs, who was recently
unanimously renominated by the
democrats to represent the second
district in congress, has sent to the
ratification committee the following
letter of acceptance:
DAWSON, GA, July 18th, 1906. !,
Hon Jeff. L. Boynton, Hon. John
TripIett. Hon. Henry NJ. Mcintosh,
Notification Committee. Gentlemen:
have delayed replying to your
very kind letter notifying me OF my
sixth unanimous nomination by the
democratic party of the second dis
trict for congress until congress
adjourned in order that | might be
able to speak with certainty as to
the record of the several preceding
congresses of which | have been a
member.
I was first nominated by the dem
ocrats of this district to the fifty
fifth congress, and I have therefore
served continuously in congresses
with republican maiorities. AL
though it is fashionable to claim
credit for all good legislation to the
party in power my experience for
ten years has taught me that this IS
not always the correct rule.
To illustrate; there is no doubt
that President Mckinley and con-
gress were strongly opposed to any
act looking toward freeing Cuba
from the CALLING yoke of Spanish
domination. Continuous taunts
from the democratic minority final
ly drove them to the declaration of
war which ended in Cuban indie
pendence. While [ opposed the ac-
uon OF the congress at that time, De-
cause I believed it to be against the
interest of the people of this sec
ton, can at the same time see
some good accruing to the country
at large and unquestionably great
good to the people of Cuba. AS
your representative, however, l
felt it my duty to vote against that
which conceived to be against
your interests. Time has confirmed

PAYS FIRST DEATH CLAIM
The Southern Life Insurance Company
Settles Promptly With Estate OF

his policy fee of "a 90 and one assess
ment in advance, which at his age was
only $l.63, making total payment of

thousand dollars. An institution of
| this kind is worth thousands of dol
lars to our people, as all are able to
carry at least one thousand dollars
of insurance, getting it at actual cost
and keeping all of the money at home,
where it is handled by home people
and paid out to home people; where we
can all derive some benefit from the
circulation of it. We are proud of

FLAW IN NEW STATUTE.
Amendment Needed to Prevent Writ
ing of Deferred Dividend Policies.

Attorney General Sturdevant has
advised Insurance Commissioner Host
that it would be advisable to refrain
from reyoking the charter of the
Mutual Life of New York to operate
in Wisconsin, but to await the ap.
preaching legislative session for a
more clear and effective enactment of
the surplus distribution law. Com
missioner Host asked the advice of
the attorney general because he was
informed that the Mutual was still
writing deferred dividend policies
in Wisconsin, notwithstanding the
supposed enactment of the last
legislature prohibiting the writ
ing of these policies. 1t is
said that the attorney general
believes that there was a flaw in the
recently enacted statute and that an
amendment will be necessary to
render the law effective in accom-
plishing the purpose for which the
commissioner of insurance urged it.

DOW|E THOUGHT HE
PREVENTED WAR

Chicago, June 27.-Miss Elizabeth
McLannan, a nurse who accompanied
John Alexander Dowie to Mexico and
Jamaica, testified yesterday in the
hearing before Judge Lands to de-
termine the ownership of Zoin City
properties, that Dowie during his trip
was delirious the greater part of the
time. While in jamaica she declared,
he was continually under the impress
sion that the Emperor of Germany
was coming to visit him and at times
sent the witness to the port to watch
for the imperial fleet. On one occa-
sion she testified, Dowie dressed him
self in evening clothes and awaited
the coming of the emperor. Dowie
seemed to believe, according to the
witness, that by his prayers he had
prevented war among the Asatic ma
tons and that in consequence he was
to receive a sum of money.

rieG to Murder.

Menasha, Wis, June 27.-An at

on William Giiberts yacht. Mr..
Deaska had been to Neenah and was
on his way to the boat, when in pass.
ing through Roberts summer resort a
man 'sprang from a clump of bushes
and without speaking fired at him
point blank. The bullet pierced his
hat and the engineer fell to the
ground, whereupon the man fired a.

coat near his body. Mr.. Deaska says
that he opened fire and after two shots
the unknown took to mis- heels. The
motive for the act is unknown.
