Saratoga people regret very much
to see j. W. Nelson and his 1estimable
wife depart from this community.
Mr.. Nelson, by his courteous conduct
and square dealing with every one
has won a firm place in the hearts of
every n who has come in contact
with him, either socially or in a bust
ness way. Mrs. Nelson has been a
valuable addition to our society and
will be sadly missed. Every one,
however, rejoices in the promotion
which has fallen to Mr.. Nelson's lot.
He is a very capable, efficient,
worthy man and we cannot expect to
hold such men bound to us, when
better and higher places demand their
services. The Sun, in common with
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson's many friends
here, wishes them continued prosper
ity and continued promotion.

Recently IN an issue of the Sheri-

count of the delegation from this

delegation that l would be out of the

sion and to assure my many friends
that / am in the race to stay. The
presidency of the senate will no doubt
go to the north, in which case the
speakership will come south. l feel
that while / have only served one

TWO NEGROES

They WERE CAPTURED LAST

Officer Bruce Carroll last night
placed in Jail Robert Jones and Nose
Carroll, two well known negroes, who
are charged with violating the pro
hibition law and the chances are that
iboth of the negroes VIII serve a SEN

evidence against both of them is
strong. ep~ ~i"~
The negroes We're working togeth-
Ter AND Officer Carroll has been after
them for some time, but awaited a
good opportunity to make the arrest.
From all accounts they have been
doing very good business since the
prohibition law went into effect, and
have disposed of many quarts of whis-
key
Robert Jones is = well known ne
gro hacllman, while Carroll has been
doing little of nothing recently. ex-
Icept quietly disposing Of cheap whis-
key
Officer Carroll, who was elected by
the county commissioners several
months ago to see that The prohibition
law is enforced, has been doing some
Igood work and has made a number of
arrests. Two or three of those ar.
.rested for violating the law have been
tried and convicted and are now serv-
ing their sentence on the chaingang.

FIGHT FOR TERMINUS ALREADY
ON BETWEEN BRUNSWICK
AND SAVANNAH.
Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bbb, Introdu-
ced an Amendment, Providing
That the Road Pass Through
Macon, TO Brunswick.

The question Of extending the state
road to the sea is now before the
Georgia Legislature and a vote will
prcbabl% be taken Oh il w1thin the
next few days if the bill is not tabled.
1t was introduced Tuesday by Hon.
Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb county,
who has, ever since he has been in
the legislature advocated the extern
sion Of the road to the sea. In pres
enting his bill, Mr.. Alexander made
a long address, in which he showed
the great advantage the state would
receive by thet extension. His speech
was closely followed by the members
Of the house, and it is believed that
q majority Of them favor extending
the road, though a strong fight is to
be made against the bill.
In Mr.. Alexander's bill the port
to which the road is to be extended
was not named, but Brunswick was
the first port to be mentioned. AS
soon as the bill was introduced Hon.
Joe Hill Hail. of Bibb county, intro
duced an amendment, providing that
the road be extended through Macon
and that Brunswick be the terminus.
Yesterday Representative Slater, OF
Bryan county, presented another
amendment providing that Savannah
be the terminus 1t is expected that
another amendment Will also be pres
ented, making ST. Marys, in Camden
county the terminus, but it is practi-
cally admitted that If the bill proyid-
ing fCT the extension is passed the
real fight for the terminus viii be be-
tween Brunswick and Savannah. The
fight u Brunswick will of course be
lead by Representative Lee, OF Glynn.
and Hall, of Bibb while Representa-
tive Slater Of Bryan, will be assisted
in his fight by the two representatives
from Chatham county.
While Hon. Hooper Alexander has
never made any statement as to which
port he prefers, it is believed that
he fayors Brunswick and that after
he sees that the bill is safe for the
extension he will lend his efforts to
this port.
Brunswick should send a delegation
to Atlanta at once to appear before
the legislature and present the claims
Ct this port. We have every advan-
tage imaginable over our rival for this
great railroad and the claims of the
best port on the south Atlantic should
be presented by a representative To-
cal committee. 1t is not known when
the bill will come up for Anai action,
but Brunswick should not be caught
sleeping. and it is hoped that our bus
iness men will at once realize the.im-
portance of this extension and will get
a committee on the scene at once.

OBLIGATION FROM
GEORGIA YET
UNDECIDED
BELIEVED, HOWEVER, THAT TIE
DELEGATION WILL CAST ITS
VOTE FOR BRYAN IN ORDER TO
GET ON BAND WAGON.

Denver, Colo, July SIT is just as
much Bryan Is ever, and little more
SO.
Bryan is the absolute dictator Of ey-
Ierythjng connected with the present
convention and there is now little or
no question that he will be nominated
on the first ballot.
But the Georgia delegation still
stands unmoyed and unpledged. A
meeting Of the delegates has been
called for 10 o'clock tomorrow to fur
ther consider the matter About Geor,
igia's only hope is to have some voice
in shaping the platform and there is
not much hope for that,
Temporary Chairman Bell, in the
keynote speech today indicated the
platform that will be insisted upon by
Mr. Bryan contingent. 1t is anti
corporation and anti-eyerything to the
core. The injunction plank will be
strong enough to satisfy organized la
Dor.
The effort to create a Bryan demon
|stration in the convention today fell
short. The reason for this is. while
bryan HIS majority OF the instruc-
ted votes, the hearts of many of the
delegates are not with him-notably
Michigan, Illinois and New York.
And yet Murphy has traded New
York for Bryan in return for the priv
ilege of naming the vice presidential
Fnominee and in order to defeat the
contest brought or by the McCarren
delegation. Thus is the old fight Of
the two New York bosses made to
swing the balance of power in the
presidential contest.
II would make the average South
fern democrat ashamed to see the
character OF the northern delegates
who virtually control our national con
'yentions A Chicago cr New York
ward heeler has more influence tlfan
1.-THE average governor or United States
senator from the South. The north
land east,name the candidates and the
South furnishes the electors. In the
committee and other honorary ap-
lpoin5ments you hear eastern and nor
thern states mentioned five times
where a Sou,hern safe il mentioned
Ionce.
The South IS sinp,y put down as
.sate and solid and therefore there is
nc nead to throw away on her any
thing that might be used to adyant-
Iage on Penns ylyania, Vermont or
.some other hopeless republican state
land particularly some state, that by
ia strained construction might be cbn,
sidered doubtful It IS largely in pro
test against this policy Of ignoring the
South th2I Georgia offers Hon Clark
iIoWell for vice president.
And other Southern states are fall
ling in line with this sentiment. Tex

Iher entire vote will be cast fog How
