The Republican leaders say they
really do not need 4 platform TO show
the people their object, alleging that
everybody knows their purpose and
objects. But vi course, while the
vast majority Of those who have been
here any length OF time konw the
party 10 represent the four "P's",
strangers might not.
To get the party in the right list

also TO be brief, the party leaders
might admit they stand for Pork,
pie, place and preferment" and for
once shoot truth straight into the
bulls eyye.
As pork and pie hunters they are
superb; as place seekers they are
peerless. and for Federal preferment
they butcher each other when ever
opportunity presents itself.

TELLS THE FACTS OF THE MATTER
County N WereE
q

Editor of The Dawson News: The
following is the "booger" of 1902 of
the "agitating editor" of the Blade
and Bludgeon. Voters, read it; and
then read the attack in last week S
papers ON THE Epistle Of McAllis-
ter" and draw your own conclusion.
If you find that the Hon. Emmett
Shaw is right vote for him; if l am
right vote for me:
THE Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Clay county met at the
court house in Fort Gaines Satur-
day, July 5, 1902, pursuant to the
call of the chairman. Upon a call
of the roll IS of the committee were
present, either in person or by
proxy. Mr.. G. T. Fain was elected
to fill vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr. G. G. Dozier of the
Button district, and Mr.. B. M Tur-
nipseed was elected to fill a vacancy
in the Fort Gaines district caused by
the removal of Mr. J. l.. Ward to
Dothan, Ala. The following resolu-
ton was then offered by w. A. Scott:
Whereas, we, the Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee of Clay county,
having met in regular session, in pur-
suance of the. call of the chairman,
recognizing that politics and cleo
tons have already made undue ex-
action upon the people by calling
them away from their private BUSH
ness; that the party is united and
harmonious to an unusual degree;
that no local danger now threatens
the welfare of the people, and that
spirit of wisdom, justice and mod
Grafton now dominate our party
ranks,
Therefore be it resolved, That it
| is the sense of this committee that
| it would be inexpedient and unwise
to call primary election for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate to rep
resent the county in the next general
assembly of the state and to nomi-
nate candidates for the various coun-
ty Offices; and we do hereby forego
to call said primary and leave a rep
Iresentative and county officers to be
elected by popular vote at the regu-
lar election to be held on the first
Wednesday in October, 1902, as pre-
scribed by the political code of the
state.
1.-TWO speeches were made against
the adoption of the resolution and
one in favor of it. When the pre-
vious question was called the resolu-
ton was adopted by a vote of 10
to 6. Upon motion the committee
then adjourned"
The vote on the above resolution
being 10 to the chairman Cmyself)
had no occasion to vote. In 1904, the
next election year, the same commit
/ tee called a primary, and the white
voters of Clay reelected the same

THE WORLDS LARGEST ORGANIZATION

lions gathered under the Sunday
school flag. At the same time dele
gates from many lands-Korea, Chi
ma, India, Japan, Mexico, Brazil,
Turkey, gathered on the front
of the platform and all sang togeth-
er to the one tune, but each in his
own tongue, one of the familiar chris
tian hymns that is sung the world
around.
The Worlds Largest Organization.
The statistics of the convention
were presented at this time, the flag
of each nation being added to dis
play stand as the figures from that
land were given. The total showing
is 27,S88, 497 members, of whom
above 100000 are found in the
United States and Canada. This in
cludes 100000 officers and teach
ers, the number of schools reported
being 2S5,8 All ages from octo-
genarians and other adults by the
million to infants ON the cradle roll
and in the kindergarten department
are now found in the Sunday school.
This vast company is scattered over
the habitable globe, the increase in
non-christian lands being especially
noteworthy.
The widespread observance of
Worlds Sunday School Day in more
than two hundred languages and dia-
lects, as reported to the convention
by cables from various lands, was
a real missionary factor. Literally
thousands of sermons upon the re-
ligious training of youth seem to have
been preached upon that day.
$4,000 in a Few Hours.
For the first time in it's history the
Worlds Association tried to raise
budget for the expenses of the en-
suing triennium. The sum asked for,
$4,000, was all secured in few
hours. This will be used largely il
placing field workers in foreign lands
to develop the Sunday school idea
and organization.
The convention sessions we're too
numerous to be mentioned in detail.
On Sunday afternoon there were
twenty-five, and on Sunday night
over a hundred, all with regularly
speakers.
Because of its size and representa-
tive capacity, and because the dele
gates were for the most part mid
dle-aged leaders in christian work.
and also because of the new notes

REEVES REPLIES TO SHAW.
Admits That He Is Ugly, But Says
There Are Worse Grimes.

Editor of The Dawson News: Can
didate Shaw makes several charges
against me.
First, l am ugly. To this 1 plead
guilty. and add that liz this line l
exceed even Governor Brown, for
there have been pretty Browns and
there never was pretty RiVes, from
the first who came from Normandy,
as a Herald with William the Con-
querer, to date.
Second. | am not in accord on re-
ligion with the people of my neigh
borhood. Again l plead guilty and
am glad TO be in company with the
prohpet Isaiah, who was sawn as
sunder by Manassa for the same Of
tense, and with the Christ, who was
crucified for like crime.
Third. | am agent for the Central
of Georgia Railway Company. Of
this | plead guilty, and add that l
have been for thirty years, and dur
ing that time l have always enjoyed
the confidence of my employer, and
have neither allowed friend nor foe
to steal from it. AS to the smallness
of my agency, my home is here,
bought and paid for, and in my coun-
ty among the best people l am well
come; and l propose to stay right
where | am, and when l leave it will
be because l, and not my employer,
wishes it.
With Shaw's kind / don't associate;
but as he is a candidate for the sem
ate l have a right and duty to do
to prevent my county being dis
graced by others knowing we thought
so little of our manhood we allowed
such a thing as he to represent the
Eleventh district in the Georgia SEN
ate. And it is only because of his
candidacy that | am noticing him.
His prototype sometimes invades my
poultry house, and while | dislike the
scent I sometimes kill him to save
my chickens, and in showing Shaw
up I am trying to perform the same
service to the people of this district.
His personal attacks and the moral
miasma that distils from him will be
part of my pay, but 1 trust to save
''the chickens"
