During Campaign.

Candidates in the recent Republi-
can primary election are filing their
statements of election expenses with
the county clerk. These statements
are required under the Corrupt Prac-
tees act. So far seven candidates
have reported.
According to the itemized state
pents none of the candidates who
have filed their statements so far
spent money for treating" The mo-
ney expended during the campaign
was for livery hire, transportation on
railroads and interurbans, printing and
meals. No promises of any kind were
made by the candidates, according to
the statements.
In his campaign for the nomination
for the office of prosecuting attorney
Ralph Husson spent $2S3.3O. Nimrod
Johnson spent 1926 in his race for
the nomination for treasurer; John
Darnell, $171.65 in the campaign for

The above amounts include the
amount which the candidates con-

At the joint melting of the candidates
with the county central committee
previous to the primary election it was
unanimously decided not to spend any
money for treating friends or in any
other way that would tend to make the

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 12.-Prepara-
tons have been completed for the ap-
propriate observance of the Centenary
OF Alexander Hamilton Stephens, one
of the most distinguished sons Of this
state and at one time Vice President of
the Confederate States of America.
The life history of Alexander Hamilton
Stephens reads like q romance. One
of the most remarkable features Of
his life was the fact that Stephens
from Boyhood was extremely weak
and delicate and in his later years
was practically a confirmed invalid,
but in spite of this tremendous handi-
cap led an extremely active life,
achieved fame as orator, politician,
statesman. author and educator and
maintained his high-pressure energy
almost to the day of his death, at the
age of seventy-one.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens was
born near Charlottesville, Ga, Febru-
airy II, 1912. His grandfather, Alexan-
der Stephens. who settled in Pennsyl-
vania in 1746 was in England an ad-
herent of Prince Charles Edward. In
this country he fought in the Indian
war and under Washington in the
French war and also distinguished
himself by his bravery as a captain
in the revolutionary army. After peace
was declared he removed to Georgia.
Young Alexander. who was left an
orphan at the age of fifteen, was
placed by his uncle, Chas. c. Mills,
tn xhn ~ <h4
Hamilton Webster at Washington,
Wilkes county, from whom he took the
middle name of Hamilton. In 1928 he
was sent to Franklin college at Ath-
ems, Ca, Of tho State university. by
the Presbyterian Educational society,
repaying the money thus loaned him
by teaching school after his gradua-
ton in 1882, on which occasion he took
first honor. Even at that time his
health was feeble and his spirit mel
ancholy. On July %, 1884, he was
admitted to the bar after only two
months study, passing a perfect ex-
animation.
During the first year of his practice
he earned $500 and he frugally lived
on Sc month. But soon his practice
increased and with it his income so
that after few years he was able to
buy the old family homestead and lat
er his famous Liberty Hall. He be-
came active in politics and was elected

posing notification in 1886. 1887, 1888,

Americans who travel in eastern
lands are amused as well as aggravat.
cd by the business methods which pre-
vail there. A recent traveller in Algiers
concluded to buy a mule and finally
found one for sale.
He went to the owner with an inter
prefer. and a dialogue then ensued as
follows:

give you SO for that mule"

their lists at each other, and to the
American it looked AZ If they were go

The row they made was terrible, bat
no one seemed to notice It.
Finally q bargain WIS struck, and
then they fell upon each others neck
and embraced.

quent farewell speech at Augusta, Ga,

Douglas and Johnson ticket. In 1861,
as delegate to the Georgia secession
convention, he voted against secession.
He was chosen a member of the Con-
federate convention at Montgomery
to organize a provisional Confederate
government, and was successfully ell
ected provisional and permanent vice
president of the Confederacy, serving
later as Confederate commissioner at
the celebrated Hampton Roads confer
ence Of February, 1866, to negotiate an
armistice with Lincoln and Seward.
In May, 1865, after Lees surrender,
Stephens was arrested by the United
States authorities, and imprisoned at
Fort Warren, Boston harbor. until the
following October, when he was re-
leased on his own parole. He was
elected United States senator in Feb
ruary, 1866, but was not allowed to
take his seat. In the following August,
he was appointed delegate to the Ma
tional Union convention at Philadel-
phia. In 1868 he was counsel for the
Columbus prisoners and in July of
the same year was defeated as a can

signing in 1882. The same year he
was elected Governor of Georgia, but
he died before the expiration Of his
term. His death occurred at Atlanta,
on March 4, 1883.
He was a brilliant orator and made
many famous addresses in congress
ond on other occasions. He was equal
ly capable as writer and was the
author Of several noteworthy books Of
a political and historical character.
For several years he was a member
