manager, Miss Evans, of the Atlanta
firms novelty department, and having
the interest of babies at heart, she at

this was one of the most interesting

in the city. The physicians were
agreed that they had never seen

BRYAN OPPOSES
PRESIDENT s: PLAN
ISSUES STATEMENT cENsURING
ADMINISTRATIONS DEFENSE
PROGRAM.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Bryan came
out squarely against President VIII
sons national defense plan in for
NAL statement of about LOO words
in which he took issue with the pres
ldent's views as expressed last night
before the Washington Manhattan
club in New York,
'"The departure from our traditions
and reversal of our national policy is
a menace to our peace and safety and
a challenge to the spirit of Christi
anity which teaches US to influence
others by example rather than by ex-
citing fear" is Bryan's views of the
plan.
The statement, which reiterates
the view previously expressed on the
subjct of preparedness for war, is
regarded as the opening gun in the
fight Of which administration leaders
expect in congress against the adop-
ton of the plan. ~. ,a.,
Bryan says he read the presidents
speech "with sorrow and concern"
but believes President Wilson isdoing
what he believes is his duty, and de-
[clares he does not intend to criticize
but must dissent. The policy the
president announced has never before
been adopted by this country Bryan
says, nor endorsed BY any party. He
declares the president has no way, of
knowing whether he has correctly in
|terpteted the will Of the public until
he hears from the people. ;c.4,. -....
. After declaring the reversal of the
national policy Bryan says "the presi-
dent says we should be prepared, not
for aggression but for Defense" and
"that-is the ground on which prepa-
ration for war is made" He asserts
lit is only fair to assume none Of the
rulers of Europe. now fighting were
prepared for ether than defense"
It. is a false philosophy and inevi-
tably leads to difficulties. ! It is the
spirit that makes an individual carry
la revolver and leads him not only to

language provoking trouble, Speak
softly but carry a big stick is one
of the delusive maxims. employed by
those who put faith in force: The man
who uses soft language has no dis
position to carry club and the man
with a soft voice persuaded to carry
a club changes his voice as he begins
to, rely on the club" .....~, =, &C.,.
Bryan says the nation is not threat
ened and infinite harm will be done
neighboring nations .. as well as our
selves by the proposed policy. He
declares he does not believe taxpay-
ers want the sum now. spent. in

IN last "Wednesday morning,

On last Wednesday morning, at
about six o'clock, Mr.. G. A. Visanska
l leading merchant and business man
Of this city, was claimed by death
Mr.. Visanska was in his seventy
ninth year, and until year ago had
been in good health for man of his
years. About that time, however,
his family and friends noticed that he
was not his accustomed self. His
health continued to fail until he was
forced, several weeks ago, to give up
business. Since that time he has
been at his home, confined to his bed.
Ie suffered a great deal in spite of
the most faithful attendance from
MS family and his physician, and
leath came to him as relief from
his sufferings.
George Aaron Visanska, was born
in the city of Suwalki, Poland, Feby.
IA, 1887, of Jewish parentage. In
1858, when only sixteen years of age,
ne came to America to make this
country his home. He landed in
Charleston and was in that city for
time but he soon removed to Able
Vile county, going to Due West in
1854, as clerk for Moses Winstock,
then a merchant at that place.
In December, 1860, he was married
to a daughter of Mr.. Winstock,

any other merchant in the county.
His transactions with his customers
was always satisfactory. He was
always ready to do the right thing.
and his dealings were fair and just.
If he did any man an injustice he was
quick to correct it and to make 1t
right. He was a man of the keenest
insight into human nature, and his
business judgment was not surpassed
by any man we have known. He
reached some conclusions only after
mature deliberation, and he was usu-
ally right,
He was liberal contributor to
every good cause, always taking a
keen interest in the activities of
those engaged in charity or benevo-
lent work. He helped the people
of churches other than his own when
they needed help. Everyone knew
they could turn to him for assistance
in every deserving enterprise.
Mr.. Visanska has reared remark
able family. His sons have all gone
out from Abbeville and taken their
places in the business world, and all
of them are men of character and
standing in the callings which they
have chosen.
