FOR UNDERWOOD
WARNER SAYS NORTHERN DEMO
Gratis WANT HIM FOR PRES
iDENT.
BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE
No Prejudice in the North Against
the Nomination Of .southerner,
as Shown by Justice Whites Ele-
walton to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.

Estates in which MI. Underwood is
making a vigorous campaign for the
nomination are New York, New Jer-
sey, West Virginia, Virginia, North
Caroline, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Ten
nesseee, Louisiana and Kentucky. He
is not, however, pursuing "grab-at-
everything catch-nothing' policy
"New York is practically solid for
Representative Underwood for the
Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency, and If the south will show the
north that southern man should be
nominated there is little doubt in my
mind that the Empire State will send
an Underwood delegation to Balti-
more, said H. B. Warner Of Lexing-
ton, N. G., at the Raleigh.
Mr.. Warner has just returned from
. a business trip to New York, where he
talked with a number Of prominent
people who are in a position to know
the sentiment in that section Of the
country.
While in the north TAXED Will
men Of New York, Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire, (" said
Mr.. Warner. Underwood is conceded
by all to be the best qualified man Of
any Of the candidates SO far mention
ed Northern men do not raise the
question that a Southern man cannot
be nominated and elected to the pres
idency. Chief Justice White Of the
United States supreme court is not
only a southern man, but served as a
Confederate soldier. This to my
mind is conclusive evidence that no
one questions the ability and fitness
Of the southern man for the high of
fee Of president Of the United States"

If there is one thing that is dear
to the southern people-and it is not
dear to them alone = it is states

ANY CANDIDATE
EEFoRT TO FOOL THE FARMERS
WILL NOT AMOUNT TO ANY
THINGS, SAYS HuTcHENs.

An effort is being made to align
the farmers Of Georgia against Oscar
w Underwood, on the ground that
he betrayed the farmers of Geor-
eia BY allowing Mr.. Lamb Of Virginia
to be appointed Chairman Of the Ag-
ricultural Committee of Congress. AS
! matter Of fact, every well informed
man knows that Mr. Underwood and
Mr.. Lamb got their appointments
from the same source and that Mr..
underwood did not appoint Mr. Lamb.
Besides. how many ever heard Of the
incident before? How many have
heard of Oscar Underwood as the
true and tried friend Of the former
and the one man in the United States
who drafted the FARMERS FREE
BILL AND PUT 1T THROUGH CON
GRESs. The sorriest part Of it is
that this effort to align the farmers
,of Georgia against their best friend is
not being made by the Republicans,
but by people who call themselves
democrats Professor Wilson's Geor-
gia managers.
" see by the papers that Prof. Will
sons managers claim that the Farm
ers' Union is supporting Prof. Will
SON" said Manager Hutchens Of the
Underwood campaign. = do not be-
lieYe it. Upon what authority can
they say so? The Farmers Union is
not supporting anyone for the Presi-
dency. It's not political organization,
nor can any man deliver it's members
or it's support to any candidate. This
is an insult to the farmers of the
state, Just as 1t is an insult to their
intelligence to tell them that Oscar
Underwood is not their friend"
Every farmer knows that Under
wood was the author Of the farmers
free list bill, and succeeded in having
it put through the house, though Taft
vetoed 1t. Under the terms of this
act there were placed on the free list
all agricultural implements, including
plows. tooth and disk harrows, head
ers, harvesters, reapers, agricultural
drills and planters, mowers, horse
rakes. cultiEators, threshing ma,
chimes and cotton gins, farm wagons
and carts, and all other agricultural
implements Of all kinds and descrip'
tons, as we'll as bagging for cotton,
burlaps and bags or sacks for sacking
agricultural implements. harness and
saddles, barbed fence wire, wire
strands and wire staples, as well as
also boots and shoes, sewing ma
chimes, house material, foodstuffs and
other articles.
This bill would have removed any
possible discrimination, against our
farmers in the prices of these neces.
sary articles, and would have placed
them on an equal footing with the
rest of the world. Our domestic man
ufaeturers Of agricultural tools, imple
ments. vehicles and machinery are
largely organized into great trusts
and combinations, which are selling
these articles cheaper abroad than al
home. which caused agricultural as
sociations in all parts Of the country
to protect by public resolutions. /,
Taft vetoed this measure, winch
was drafted by Mr.. Underwood ano
over which he labored zealously Iol
months. But when we put Mr.. on
derwood in the white house, the lar
mer, in common with the rest OF US
J will come into his own.

Either Mrs. Underwood of Alabama

Editor Stoyall says that Underwood

the man to nominate Without dis
paraging Mr.. Wilson's ability, it is but

Death Of Mr.. A. n. MeRae.

Mr.. A. N. McRae, a former resi-
dent of Franklin, died in Houston
Texas, on Tuesday evening last
His remains reached this place
Thursday evening. His relatives
and large number of his friends
were at the depot to receive his
body and convey it to it's last
resting place. He was a Mason,
g former member of Franklin
Lodge No. 81, F. & A. NJ, and
after the reading of the Christian
service was concluded, his Mason
ic brethren took charge and depos-
tied his body in his Mother Earth
with the solemn and beautiful
services of that order. Mr.. Nc
Rae came to Franklin about the
year 1867. He married Miss An
ME Bell a daughter of one of
Franklin's oldest citizens, Mr..
Davidson Bell, who survives him.
He removed from this place to
Texas, where he resided until his
death. He was an exemplary
man and citizen. He has left a
record of which his sorrowing
family may we'll be proud. All
who knew him well, esteemed
him as man who did all that he
could to promote the happiness of
his fellows. The BANNER ten
ders to his family its fullest SYM

ment.
