the lamented R. U. Hardeman. He sue

make the state a splendid treasurer.
From Clinch County News:
Hon. w. ] Speer, candidate for State
Treasurer, enjoys looking b.ck upon a
clean, spotless and uncriticised 20-year
record in public Office, which to us is the
strongest, most forceful argument that
can be brought to bear touching his COM
potency and worthiness. We are as will
ling for him to serve. us now as we were
when he, a Confederate soldier, took up
his gun, went to the front, and barred
his breast to the enemy in defense Of our
property and our homes.
Hon. W. j. Speer, candidate for State
Treasurer, is not q stranger to the duties
and responsibilities Of that Office. He
served the State twenty years in that ca
pacity with marked efficiency and ability.
The voters of Georgia will make no mis-
take in re-electing Mr.. speer to this
Office.
From the Cleveland Courier:
Mr.. w. J. Speer is candidate for
State Treasurer, from which Office he re-
tired few years ago on account Of i'll
health. He filed the Office for many
years, and if an excellent record in the
discharge of official duties is what the
people want in an official, then this old
Confederate veteran most assuredly nner-
its your ballot
