Mr.. Stephens Non.sectionaI Candidate

Mr.. Stephens Non-Sectional Candidate.
Mr.. Stephens opponent is advertis-
ing himself as the candidate of the
Atlanta bar. AS this is State office,
why does he not run as a candidate
of the bar of Georgia instead of a
particular city? Mr. Stephens is not
the candidate of any particular section,
but his support comes from the ma
jority of the bar and citizens generally
of the whole state of Georgia.
Letter From Judge Spencer r. Akin
son, Former Justice of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, to Mr.. Stephens.
1t gives me great pleasure to certify
not only as to your character as a
man, but as to your ability as law
yer, and your qualifications to fill the
place to which you seek an election
on the bench of the court of appeals,
and to say that from my personal
knowledge as to your attainments as a
lawyer, l am quite sure that in the
event of your election you will fill
the Office with credit to yourself and
to the satisfaction of the people.
JUDGE Horace M. Holden, Former
Judge of Supreme Court, Says:
Mr.. Stephens is an able lawyer, and,
in my opinion, is we'll qualified to fill
the position of judge Of the court OF
appeals of Georgia, and, if elected, will
render efficient and satisfactory serY'
ice. / hope that he will win.
Letter From Judge Arthur G. Powell,
Former Judge of the Court of Ap'
peals to Mr.. Stephens.
take pleasure in endorsing you for
the unexpired term of Judge Ben Hill
on the court of appeals. l remember
with gratitude the great assistance you
gave me in my first race for position
on this same court, and l trust that
my friends will also appreciate your
activities in my behalf at that time
and will support you. From my
personal knowledge of you, believe
that it would be your utmost solici'
tude to fill the position, if you are
elected to it, in such a manner as
will reflect credit upon that great
Georgian and relative Of yours.
Letter From Judge J. r. PottIe, For
| mer Judge of the Court OF Appeals
to MIR. Stephens.
1t will afford me pleasure to give
you such aid in your race as l may
be able to render. My own expert
ence upon the court of appeals has
| given me some idea of the qualifica.
lions necessary to discharge the duties
| of that office. An accurate knowledge
of the law, which can be acquired only
after years of laborious application, is
one of the essentials. Such knowledge
I believe you to have, and in addition
to this, think you are temperamental'
~ fitted for judicial work.

ALEX. STEPHENS FOR
JUDGE COURT APPEALS
His Opponent Long Term offlcehoIds

His Opponent Long Term OfflcehoIdes
Mr. Stephens opponent is a mem
Der of a family of long term office
holders in Atlanta. Several Atlanta
Office holders have been sending out
letters in this gentlemans behalf.
Commenting upon the efforts Of some
OF these office holders and their law
yer friends in behalf of Mr.. Stephens
opponent, the CrawfordViIle Advocate
Democrat has this to say:
Few Atlanta Lawyers Trying to Die.
tate Judge to People of Georgia.
In conformity with the Characters
tics that have ever attended them,
some of the members of the Atlanta
bar, who are in the habit of running
the politics Of the state, whenever
the rest of the people will let them,
and who especially think that it is
their right always to name the judges
of the state courts of review have is
sued their PRONUNCIATION that they have
decided among themselves to put Mr..
Nash Broyles, the police recorder, on
the appellate court bench.
In this instance, it seems that they
are not in accord with the country
uSL1DGlS VI THEIR pIOlSSSlOlly uOl Will
all of the Atlanta members, for it is
the general impression throughout the
state that three-fourths of the country
members of the bar are supporting
Mr. Stephens for this position.
1t will be interesting to watch the
outcome of this race: whether these
Atlanta lawyers will put through their
plan, or whether their country breth-
rem will insist on the Atlanta crowd
being oWerthroWn.
But the most interesting Of all is,
what will the people of Georgia do?
Will they let this Atlanta crowd of
politicians name each and every off
Ger, or will the great body of the
voters of Georgia, in fight between
these. Atlanta lawyers and the country
lawyers, side with their country fellow
citizens, and help them to put over one
of the Atlanta crowd, and elect Col.
Alexander w. Stephens, who comes
before the people of the whole state
with the ablest judges and lawyers
of Georgia supporting and endorsing
him as well fitted and qualified for
this high position?

RusEs FOOL THE GERMANS
indian Troops Praised by General
French for Their Initiative and
n Resoureefulness

Londons-In a report on the British
operations in Belgium and France
Field Marshal Sir John French says Of
the Indian troops:
Since their arrival in this country
and their occupation of the line allot-
ted to them l have been much i'm
pressed by the initiative and resource
displayed by the Indian troops. Some
OF the ruses they have employed to de-
ceiVe the enemy have been attended
with the best results and have doubt
less kept the superior forces in front
of them at bay.
Our Indian sappers and miners
have long enjoyed a high reputation
for skill and resource. Without going
into, detail, / can confidently assert
that throughout their work in this cam
paign they have fully justified that rep
utation. a..s..- ... +.
The general officer commanding the
Indian army describes the conduct and
bearing of these troops in strange and
new surroundings to have been highly
satisfactory, and am enabled from
my own observations to fully corrobo-
rate this statement" ..

100000 BATTLE IN GALICIA
Fighting Line Is 1876 Miles Long and
the Conflict Between lnfsn-
.... try Forces.

Lemberg. Galicia, via PetrOgrad.
Dec. 23.-More than 100000 Russian
and Austro-G erman troops are en-
gagged in great conflict over battle
front about 1875 miles long in Galicia.
The battle line forms almost a right
angle, extending from Bircza, a few
miles west OF Przemysl, southwest to
Lupkow and thence northwest to
Zakliczyn. on the Dunajec river south
OF Tarnow.
The general battle was precipitated
by the energetic efforts Of the Austro-
German troops to raise the siege OF
Przemysl. Only the barest details OF
the battle are reaching here, but these
indicate that the conflict is sangui
nary, most Of the lighting being done
by the infantry.
The nature of the country makes
the movements of cavalry and artil.
lery most difficult.

HONOR is PAID DEAD DOG
Marquis, ReaimentaI Dispatch Bearer.
10 Mentioned In French Gen.
teraI Orders.

Dunkirk-Marquis, the regimental
dispatch dog of the Twenty-third
French infantry, has been mentioned
in the orders of the day, having fallen
in duty at the battle of Sarrebourg on
the Belgian frontier.
At this action it became necessary
for an officer to send a report immedi-
ately to his superior, but at the time
the German fire was too intense to al.
low a man to cross the fire zone and
Marquis was. charged with the mis-
sion.
Off he ran, across the fire-swept
zone, and arrived nearly at the OBJ
jective point when a German ball
struck him in the right side and
brought him down. He struggled to
his feet, though losing a great deal
of blood, and dragged himself up to
the position where the officer was d.
recting a section Of machine guns. He
let fall the order, Redeemed by his
blood, and breathed his last.
His soldier comrades are raising a
fund for monument on which is to be
inscribed "Marquis-Killed on the
Field Of Honor"
