CD AS Judge and Solicitor he
strictly enforced the prohibition law,
he has always voted the prohibition
ticket. We doubt if any Judge in
Georgia has more strenuouSly insisted
on the enforcement of the prohibition
laws and the law against carrying
deadly weapons. In all his charges
to the Grand Juries he has uniformly
waged incessant war against blind
tigers and the Incorporate and eXe
Cessive use of Intoxicating Whistles.
In these charges he always strongly
set forth the evils of intemperance
and urged the young men of the
country to let Whiskey alone and to
lead lives of sobriety. His charges
upon the subject of the enforcement
of the prihibition law and the law
against carrying deadly weapons and
his utterances against the evils OF
intemperance struck such a respOn-
sive chord that in three different
counties of his circuit public resolu-
lions were passed by the bar and the
people asking that his charges be
spread upon the minutes of the court,
and in one county that they be pub
lished at the expense of the county
and distributed among the people,
an honor which has never heretofore
been accorded any other Judge of
the Western Circuit so far as we
know.
CO. His people are all farming
people. His strength as a public man
has been with the farming element
and the masses of the people. They
have always voted for and trusted
him, knowing that he was their
friend.
(7.) His father began life as a
farmer and a merchant in the little
town of Loganville.
(8,) While Judge Brand has been
a successful lawyer and business
man, he has always been liberal with
his money in assisting benevolent
causes, and has always responded to
the calls of charity
co. The Agricultural College OF
the Eighth District, located above
Monroe, in Walton County, needed
another building in order to accom-
modate the boys and girls who
wanted an education, and he, to-
gether with two citizens of Walton
County, pledged the money with
which to build the same, they fur
nishing $4,000 and Judge Brand
$4,000 for this purpose.
(10D He has recently esta blished
two scholarships for poor boys and
girls at the University of Georgia,
and at the State Normal School, pay
ing the necessary funds to give them
educations, which he proposes to keep
up during his life time, having pro-
vided in his will that these institu-
tions be paid $4,000 out of his es-
tate to perpetuate the same after his
death.
CID Considering the above
facts, and his experience of over
thirty-four years as a business man,
lawyer, Solicitor General and Judge,
we honestly believe that he is the
best qualified man in the race for
Congress, and we, therefore, respect
fully ask that the people give him
their support, knowing, if elected,
that he will guard and look after the
interests Of all the people in every
county Of the district faithfully con-
stantly and impartially.

Naldosta. Ga, October 15.-That
the Georgia-Florida fair, which opens

greatly enlarged scale is indicated by
the fact that the fair management
