native state for twelve years In the high
office whose dignity we have just been
so ably and well, and that the
people OF Georgia have commanded us,
without dissenting voice, to send him to
the same high duty.
1T is well for the republic that she can
stin send men to the highest stations OF
national responsibility and honor who
have trod the public paths of life as well
as the high, who practice the plain old
fashioned virtues of private life, and OF
public conduct, and who remain in har-
mony of heart and of sympathy with the
plain rank and file of men.
II am glad that the opportunities OF an
acquaintance with the man. whose nom
nation 1 have the honor to second today,
extending from the early years of my
boyhood, qualify me to testify that he is
one of those men whose neighbors never
called upon in vain, whose shoulder has
always beer to the wheel when his town.
his community. his county, and his state
needed his help, and it has happened
with him, as with all men, that as he
pushed the burden of his fellow men up
the hill, he has climbed the hill in the
service.

ure as a native son of the good old coun-
ty of Cobb, and as a citizen of Georgia,

rare among statesmen in that he has the
love Of his constituents, which proves
that he has not risen to his high position
by chicanery or by stepping upon others

nomination.
Mr.. Davis of Dougherty, said that north
Georgia enjoys no monopoly in it's regard
for Senator Clay.

member responding by calling the name

MELREATH'S TRIBUTE.
Seconding the nomination by the mem
Der from Cobb. Mr.. McElreath Of Fulton,
said:
Mr.. Speaker: The office of senator of
the United States has no parallel in any
similar office known tc the political
communities of the present time and no
precedent in any former times. The SEN
ate at Rome represented the collective
sovereignty of the Roman republic, but
no senator represented any particular por-
ton of the sovereignty OF the nation, but
only an individual fraction of the entire
sovereignty of the body polite.
AT the beginning of our national gov
eminent under the constitution when the
narrow boundaries of our national terri
tory were the Appalachians and the At
lantic the Office was even then unequalled
in the nature and quality Of its dignity,
in that a senator Of these United States
shared only with a single colleague the
representation Of a sovereign state. With
the marvellous increase in the extent and
power Of the nation. which has spread it's
dominion. or the cloak Of its protection
over well-nigh the entire territory and
peoples Of the western hemisphere, MEM
bership in that body without whose con-
sent no domestic statute can be enacted,
and no minister or ambassador can be
sent 10 any foreign power, and no inter
national compact can be made. has in
creased a hundred fold in the dignity of
its power and in the weight Of its re-
sponsibility.
1T is not the least among the glories
of Georgias history that since the day
near one hundred and twenty-five years
ago when her senator's sat with those OF
the other original states in the first con-
gress OF the nation, she has sent no man
TO that great Office with fits heavy re-
sponsibilitles. its unrivaled opportunities
and fits many and strong temptations. who
has compromised the honor of the high
Office.
The career Of the man whose name
has been pronounced before you for cleo
ton today, presents the typical romance
.of American life. Born in the obscure
ranks OF the plain people; brought up un-
der the law Of necessity which harnessed
his youth TO the task OF daily manual
labor on the farm: deprived OF early OPP
portunities of culture except that noblest
university that Providence ever opened
Ito a boy-the atmosphere OF an honest
fathers Preside, and the wholesome tut
ton OF a plain. but refined mothers in
auence. and except such outside culture as
his own industry and the toll Of sacrihc-
ing parents could give him, he rose by
force OF his own character and will power
TO success in the great profession Of the
law; won membership In this body, over
both branches OF which his fellow mem
bers called him TO preside, and nothing
greater can be. or need be said of him
here today than that he has served his

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, anu when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

side and the son of General U. S.
Grant on the other side, Jacob M.
Dickinson, secretary of war and
former confederate officer, sat IN the
place of honor atthe banquet of the
Southern Club of Chicago here to-
night. These three listened to the
mingled strains of ''Dixie," my
Maryland" and the ''Star Spangled, .
and the cheering of more than zoo
sons of the southland.
Marked enthusiasm met the secre-
tary's words in praise and explana-
tion of President Taft's attitude
toward the south. General Fred D..
Grant also received great applause,
butthe demonstration of the evening
was given to Robert T. Lincoln, son

BROWN EYES CAUSED
ALL BOYS TROUBLE

Atlanta, Ca, April 1O.-A brown
eyed girl, who lives at Gainesville,
Ca, was the incentive for the Black
Hand letters sent to Asa G. Gambler,
the banker, which have caused the
arrest of an 18-year-old boy, Daniel
Johnson, who is a member OF Mr.
Gamblers Sunday school class.
Young Johnson was a student at
Gainesville military academy, and
while there, according to his father,
fell in love with the daughter of a
nrominent family. The girl told
johnson she would marry him as
soon as he acquired fortune, and
this promise, the elder johnson says,
led his son to attempt to secure a
portion of Candler's wealth by Black
Hand methods.
!. The elder johnson charged the
trouble up to his sons mad desire
to possess the *.brown-eyed Gaines
vile GIRL" after a long conversation
with the young man at the Jail to-
day. The boy made a full confession
and admitted that he had no accom-
pffces In the attempt to secure mon
e yfrom Gambler. ~" :;
1t is doubtful If there will be any
serious prosecution of. young John
son. Banker Gambler is in for
afooooAoo pSn- &a$ u +
giving mood toward johnson. his
prize Sunday school scholar, and is.
not disposed to push the case.
