and survey the field that we have passed over
BY doing this, we better understand what was

Human memory is short and faulty: we

Now, let us calmly review the gubernatoriaI

ISSUE will have just begun!
When Nat Harris announced for gov
ernor In 1914, there were two currents of
feeling which commenced to flow, one against
him, because he was known to be the most
vacillating of men, who had resigned brief
judgeship, because of his constitutional in
ability to decide. Some men are that way,
and can't help it; just as some men are cow
ards, and can't help it.
The other current of feeling was one Of
sympathy for an old Confederate soldier,
acho pleaded for one term, in order that he
might ''round out his career with that SUI
preme State-honor.
This is the literal truth, and it is wrong
for Nathaniel to deny it. He knows, and I
hasow, where there is proof on him-"i7o 6zach
and eohate," C0l0nel!-that he said he would
be satisfied with one term
After his inauguration his constitutional
infrmity made itself manifest lie couldn't
decide. He was here, one day, and yonder,
the next. The last bunch of men that got
around him, controlled him Finally, when
they pushed him, and pulled him, back and

You had forgotten it, hadn't you?
The whole State was talking about it. The

demoralized.
After the Hegira to Tennessee was COM

The Jesuit's oath is far worse, and this

our Revolutionary War.
The Jesuit aoho denies 1T, LIES!
The Ancient Order of Hibernians takes an
oath Of motlrder; and that oath has been ex-
posed repeatedly In the court proceedings in
Ireland, where this helish secret order has
tortured and killed Protestants, with all the
fendishness Of the Dark Ages.
This same secret order committed the hor-
rlble murders in the Pennsylvania coal fields,
few years ago; and for that reason, Priest
McDermott resigned, rather than Join Arch
bishop Prendergast, of Philadelphia, in
honoring these red--handed assassins.
The 4. o. Il. acho denies It, LIES!
The 4th degree Knights of Columbus take
an oath similar in all essential respects to
those of the Jesuits, and A. O. II.
These 4th degree traitors and murderers

the public that their only oath is one which
binds them to be law abiding citizens.
Why was an oath necessary to thot2
Why was an inner fourth degree, necessary
to th0t?
Why was any secret society necessary to
that?
Those Augusta 4th degree Knights assured
the public, two or three years ago, that their
virtuous order had no military drill no
swords, no rifles
At the Cardinals harlqninade, pulled off
in New York recently, the 4th degree traitors
appeared in full military uniform, in mill
tary array, with FURNISHED swords, and with
glittering rifles!
I have had cut made of the war-like array
of these 4th degree liars, and will present it
