the Daughters of the Confederacy, were.
as expected, among the most impressive
and pleasing that have been held there III
recent months.
Prof. Joseph 7. Derry made the presen-
tation speech. He said that when in 1857
Joseph E. Brown was nominated Demo-
cratic governor he was almost unknowI.,
and all over the state people were ask
ing "Who is this MANI" They soon
found out At that time congress was
constantly quarreling over the slavery
question. When South Carolina seeded
and Fort Sumter was seized, Governor
Brown, fearing a like seizure of Fort Pu-
laski, ordered a large force of state MI
htia to go and take it. He stated at the
time that If Georgia did not succeed the
fort would be held for the United States.
whereas, if Georgia followed Carolina's
example and withdrew from the union
the fort would be held for the secession
lists.
WHEN GEORGIA Seeded.
AS a boy, Professor Derry was presen,

house in Milledgeville. and well he re-

NEW COUNTIES TO GIVE
DISTRICT BIC CENSUS
Third Congressional District
Will Probably Show Its Pop
ulation Doubled

CORDEI.E. Ga, Jan. 27.-Much specu-
lation is going on in the Third congress
siOnal district as to what the census of
1910 will show.
The census for 1900 gave to the Third
congressional district a population of
II. 253. At that time this district was
composed OF 13 counties. Now ii has Is
counties. Two of the new counties-Crisp
and Ben Hill-have been formed from the
territory embraced in the Third congress
sional district. II is believed that the
larger cities OF the Third congressional
district have doubled in population in the
last 10 years.
1t is expected that the census of 1910
will show the population of this congress
sional district to be approximately $500
According to this showing. il other
sections Of the state have increased In
population in the same ratio as the Third
congressional district, the census of 1910

Bennett on Independent
Ticket
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Col. John
Temple Graves, editor of the New York

II am sitting silent and saying moth
ing" said the colonel today, and ms
friends in New York are paving the way
for my candidacy. 1 would like term or
two in the house."
HIS APPETITE WHETTED.
Colonel Graves in his newspaper ca
pacity has been spending much of his
time in Washington during the session
of congress, and he has seen and heard
and experienced enough of congressional
affairs TO whet his appetite for the life.
He is a good listener. but a better speak
er, and he believes that the power of
speech enjoys more freedom in the house
than in the press gallery. wherefore he
is ambitious to enter the house.
Colonel Graves was talking to Con-
gresham Livingston when he indicated
his purpose to come to congress, if pos
sible.
"Will you have the support OF Tam
many?" he was asked.
Possibly so; 1 am Irish, and look like
Colonel Livingston" was his facetious
reply.
Seriously, though, my friends killed
Tammany, and the people Of New York
are grateful" he added. IT may come to
congress"

rifles necessary to entitle them to re-
ceive funds deposited with the postal

amendment providing for the acceptance
