hope that you are in the enjoyment of both,
happy as you gaze upon fading afternoon.
But that you should wish to encourage me
in the great fight that is just beginning, to
restore the South to her old time place in the
Union, and to get for the people that purity
of Government and wisdom of Legislation
which once made this country the home of a
prosperous and happy population, is beauti-
fully shown by the undertaking which act
uated you when you sent me the flowers.
Some day, before very long, I will be in
the Atlanta territory again, and I mean then
to come out to the Home, to take each of you
by the hand and thank you in person.

them. There isn't the slightest danger that
the north and east will ever fight the South
again about the negro. They realize what a
colossal blunder they made in giving him
the franchise. Therefore they would not at
tack us about him if they could; but it gives
me pleasure to say that they could not if they
would. In any such struggle, the west would
side with us next time, for that great and
growing section has color question of it's
own, which has enabled it to understand ours
The japanese immigrant, the Chinese coolie,
\the Hindu laborer, are to the west what the
fnegro is to the South. Consequently, the two
I agricultural sections, whose INTEREST are so
much in common, find that their interests
\ coincide on the race question also. But the
battle which would follow your adoption of
my advice would be confined to the court
house. The negroes would bring suits to en-
join the enforcement of the law upon the
ground that it conflicts with the fifteenth
amendment. We would contend that the ff-
teenth amendment was never legally adopted,
and the supreme court would sustain u.s.
AS most people know, it requires two
thirds vote of both houses Of congress to pro-
pose amendments to the constitution There
were two hundred and twenty three members
of the house of representatives when the ff-
teenth amendment was voted on. The jour
nal of the days proceedings, February IS,
1862 shows that one hundred and forty four
members voted for the resolution Therefore,
it lacked five votes Of the requisite two
thirds. =
Thlrtythree states were represented in the
senate at that time, and, therefore, the mem
bership numbered sixty-six. The highest, un-
Improbable evidence shows that only thirty
nine of these senator's voted for the fifteenth
amendment. Consequently, it fell short of
two-thirds by five votes.
AS to its ratification by three fourths of
the states, it can be shown, to the full salts
faction of the courts, that only nineteen rati
fed it constitutionally. It is literal fact
that we have been obeying, for forty years,
an alleged law, which the highest and best

After prolonged discussion, during which
every argument in favor of each plan was
advanced the people of Georgia decided in
behalf of the constitutional county unit plan
Under that plan, based as it is upon the
division Of legislative power made by our
highest State-law, each county has twice the
number of delegates in the nominating con-
ventions that it has in the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature
Thus, six of the most populous counties
have six conventional votes; twenty-six next
largest have four votes; and the remainder
have two
According to this constitutional apportion-
ment, the country people haze THE prepond-
eraace Of poacer.
The wise statesmen who framed our Con-

mojoraties; hence they adopted for the State
the same mixed plan that distinguished our
Federal Government, eohereiaa the State units
are equal.

ance Of power given to preponderance of

Fashioning our State plan after that of

Nobody ever disputed this constitutional
title until an Executive Committee did it, two
years ago.
The attempt to dispossess the country peo-
pie of their legal rights ended in a disastrous
failure. The Convention of 1908 re-affirmed
the county unit system

AMATEUR NATIONAL
ALL-AROUND CHAMPION
Martin Sheridan and John
ellis to Hook Up for the
Coveted Title.

NEW YORK, July 23.-For the first
time since 1904 the national all-around
championship of the A. A. U. looks as if
it might be productive of something like
a contest, as John ellis Of the Van
couver Athletic Club of British Columbia
a brother to Simon P. ellis of the New
York Athletic Club, is well advanced in
his preparation. The competition will be
held at Chicago August IA, and ellis is
going into it with the expectation of
meeting NJ j. Sheridan, winner for sew
eral years and holder of the record of
1885 points made in last years contest
For the past few years friends of Sheri-
dan continually asserted that if he had
q man to extend him he would score 5000
points. so the record is likely to be sent
soaring this trip There is no mistake
about the ability Of Gilfis to extend the
only that he will give a good account
of himself. His best events are the high
jump. hammer. fifty pound weight,
walk and mile run.
The last contest of any keenness worth
while was in 1904 the year of the ST.
Louis exposition, when Tom Kiely, the
veteran Irishman. came over specially
previous winner, gave Kiely hard run,
but the veteran had enough left in him
to win. Since then the winner has had
more or less of a walk-over. ellis had
try-out recently over the entire pro-
gram, and though he was not wound up
showing was good enough to indicate
that he will make Sheridan hustle. In
the high jump and hammer he will prob
ably break the all-around records
