the house and senate, organize and win
the presidency. The Democrats are
fortunately situated with regard to the
presidential nomination. They could
hardly make a mistake were they to
try. They have or or forceful
men to select from who are in every
way fitted for the position. / think at
this time that Woodrow Wilson will be
the nominee, though the situation was
different five months ago and may be
different five months from now. Thir-
ty-four Democrats and twenty three
Republicans are for the reciprocity
measure and it will be passed without
any material amendment, perhaps
without any amendment at all. Ger
tainly," he said, there will be no such
amendment that the house will refuse
to concur in or that will jeopardize the
approval of the bill by the president"

Atlanta, July s: The senatorial
situation is attracting much attention
with the near approach OF the date
when the Georgia legislature will
choose q successor to Senator Terrell
in the United States senate. The bal
loting will begin next Tuesday and all
signs point to q spirited contest. Sen
ator Terrell, who was appointed to fill
the seat of the late Senator Clay until
the legislature could choose his sue
cessor, is a candidate for election to
the full term of six years. The lead
ing candidate, however, appears to be
Hoke Smith, who was secretary OF the
interior under President Cleveland and
who has just been inaugurated for the
second time as governor Of Georgia.
Governor Smith, 1t is understood, has
long aspired to a seat in the United
States senate and his supporters are
now preparing to make strong fight
for his election. On the other hand,
the anti-Smith element, which in
cludes many prominent politicians in
all sections of the state, will leave no
stone unturned to prevent his election.
A number Of other candidates for the
toga are receiving more or less atten-
ton. One of those whom it is be-
lieved could make formidable show
ing should he decide to make an ac-
tive fight is Pleasant A. Stovall, the
Savannah editor. Tom Watson, the
former Populist leader; w. A. Coving-
ton, one of the authors of the state
prohibition law, and several others
have announced their candidates..
- Starkville, Miss, July 6: State
Senator Theodore Bilbo, candidate for
lieutenant governor Of Mississippi, was
attacked and severely beaten here to-
day by ]. ]. Henry, claim agent OF the
Mobile, Chicago & New Orleans rail-
road, and former penitentiary war
den, the encounter coming as direct
sequel to a campaign speech delivered
by Senator Bilbo at Blue Mountain,
Miss, recently in which Bilbo is cred
tied with having vigorously assailed
Mr.. Henry, impeaching his character.
The affray occurred aboard railroad
train in which Mr.. Bilbo was proceed
ing from Columbus to Sturgis, Miss,
where he was to have spoken this af-
ternoon. Henry, Ii is stated, as he ap-
preached Bilbo, who was seated in the
smoking car, demanded that the ut
terances in question be retracted and
an apology made. The apology and
retraction not forthcoming the en-
counter followed, Henry striking the
state senator repeatedly about the
head and body with the butt of pis-
tol. Henry surrendered to the sheriff
here and was released on his own
recognizance. Other than a few cuts
and bruises about his face and hands
he was not hurt in the struggle. Bilbo
continued his journey to Sturgis,
where he was given surgical attention.
A special train was made up at Stur-
gis to convey him to Jackson. Re-
ports as to the extent of Bilbo'S inju-
ries are conflicting. At first 1t was
said that his wounds were not seri-
Gus, but late this afternoon, des-
patch from Ackerman, in the imme-
diate vicinity of Sturgis, quotes DR..
Murphy, who was called to attend
Bilbo. as saying that his skull is
fractured, but he is not necessarily
fatally hurt.
Rev. William Hyde, rector of the
Trinity Episcopal church of Wey-
mouth. Mass, believes not only that
the British are direct descendants Of
hn Tcro alitao hut fhot Zinc GnnrOa
V. is a lineal descendant of a cousin
of the House of David The royal
house of Britain" says Mr.. Hyde,
traces it's ancestry back to the line Of
David and of Judah. To be specific:
Tea Tephi, daughter of Zedekiah, the
last king of David's line, married
Eochaide, the young king of the Dan
ties, in the north Of Ireland, in 5S3 B.
c. They were married by the prophet
jeremiah and crowned on the Bethel
stone. Eochaide himself was Of the
royal line of Judah, since he was de-
scendant of one of the twin sons of
Judah, David being a descendant Of
the other twin son. This marriage
was the beginning of the royal house
Of the SCOTS, and this line in time,
through the Bruces and Stuarts, be-
came the royal line Of the British en-
pire. George ", therefore, is a de-
scendant of David, and belongs to a
dynasty which can never cease to eX-
list, for it has the promise of God that it
will never cease to have a descendant
to reign over the people of Israel. The
English American people are this race;
hence they are the people of God.
Further, we can trace the lineage Of
the British ruler back even as far as
Adam. Anna, cousin Of Mary the
mother of Christ, married a prince Of
the royal house of Britain, and hence
became an ancestor of that house.
God said that he would establish the
throne of David forever and that David
would never cease to have a descend
ant. George V. is fulfillment Of these
words, for he is a descendant of David,
and he sits upon the throne of Israel"
