Every branch of Georgia de
mocracy got together in harmon
ious accord yesterday in Atlanta.
They now march under the
wings of Parker, peace and pros
perity and will be found in solid
phalanx.
The clans began arriving as
early as last Sunday. Camps
were pitched at the Kimball by
the battalion majors of the various
candidates, and active canvassing
begun upon every member and
delegation as fast as Ed Callaway
could assign a room.
Colonel Estill soon gave up the
fight as a delegate at large, which
helped Jim Smith, the farmer, and
made his calling and election sure.
It was seen early in the day,
Wednesday, that Parker would
win'and the Hearst men began to
tack their sails to prevent in
structions and to land Jim Griggs,
the popular congressman from the
Second as a delegate at large.
The Parker boys at the helm
called a caucus for nine p. m. in
the Kimball ball room, which
wound up in a good natured dog
fall, when Bill Ennis, of Rome,
Suppressed Trox Bankston, lorn
Loyless and Burton Smith by
turning over Chairman Callaway’s
table on which Trox, Tom and
Burton had mounted. T. W.
Hardwick, congressman from the
Tenth, got in a patriotic speech
and some resolutions, but the
crowd was more bent on fun than
business, and Dosh Massengale
helped the confusion in his in.
imitable way.
Everybody admitted that Judge
Maddox, of Rome, would lead the
ticket and so he did. The hard
est work was done for Griggs and
uninstruction, but the unterrified
determined to take everything in
sight and not give a moiety to the
opposing faction.
Chairman Ed Brown called the
vast convention to order at noon
yesterday,and appropriately yield
ed the gavel he has so ably and
gracefully held for the past six
years to Temporary Chairman
Jack Spalding, of Atlanta, who
made a brief talk, Hon. M. J.
Yeomans, of Dawson, was elected
permanent chairman; John Boi-
feiullet, of Mecon; Charlie Nor-
then, of Atlanta, and B. F. Hold
er, of Rome, were made secretaries.
Then the routine business began.
Time, vexation and perhaps anger
were saved by the prompt and
kindly, though firm, parliamentary
rulings of the chair.
The first skirmish, and the one
on which all depended and from
which result could be foretold
the outcome, was the election of
delegates at large. Upon the
roll call of counties the following
delegates at large were elected:
From State at Large—John W.
Maddox, of Floyd; James M.
Smith, of Oglethorpe; James R.
Gray, of Fulton; Charles R. Pen
dleton, of Bibb.
First District—R- C. Neely, of
Burke; M. W. Dixon, of Chat
ham.
Second District—Henry
McIntosh, of Dougherty;
Norman, Jr., of Colquitt.
Third District—I. P• Cocke, of
Lee; A. C. Riley, of Houston.
Fourth District—W. A. Little,
of Muscogee; H. C. Fisher, of
Coweta.

Neal Trevitt is home for a few
days from the Philippine Islands.
He gave The Citizen a most
interesting account of his globe
trotting since he left Dalton in
1899 and joined the service of
Uncle Sam on the other side of
the world.
He was a corporal in Co. D.,
9th Infantry and was under Col
onel Liscum in the siege of Tin
Tsin, China, when that officer met
his death. Briefly Mr. Trevitt
says China is a most inviting
country for young Americans of
push and is full of opportunities.
He was in Pekin eleven months
and learned much of the Chinese
They are a most imitative race,
but devoid of originality—adept
at carving, joining, weaving, etc
Pekin is full of foreign legations
and makes a fairly good place to
live in, but Hong Kong and
Shanghai are more cosmopolitan
as every country on the globe is
fairly represented by citizens.
The best class of people are the
farmers. The coolies are burden
bearers, pure and simple, and all
classes work. In Japan the finest
scenery of the world is to be
found—are much more enlight
ened, progressive and patriotic
than the Chinks, but its a mistake
to think the Chink won’t fight.
The union of Japanese intelli
gence with the million of Chink
soldiers combined would make a
“yellow peril” indeed for the reet
of the eastern hemisphere.
Mr. Trevitt visited Malta on
the isle of that name, where are
situated the finest churches in the
world—two are particularly noted,
the “Church of Bones,” inside of
which are human skulls wired
together. Another, St. Cecelia.
For the assault of Napoleon’s army
on all the women and girls, but
six, the Pope issued an edict in
1795 that in commemoration of
the terrible, shameful outrage the
women should wear a black hood
and veil for 100 years—the limit
of which expired in 1895, but the
custom yet prevails and is known
as the “Ode of Shame.” At
Gibraltar on top of the big rock
are 305 mammoth, primitive guns
—one for each day in the year
and no inhabitant knows how they
were elevated to that height—not
even tradition undertakes to say.
The Hindo soldiers encamped at
Pekin during the siege—under
the British army—each carry a

contents and replenished. Col

In the Georgia State Conven
tion iHeld Yesterday,
HEARST FORCE ROUTED.
Only the Personality of Griggs, Ter
rell, Stevens and Graves Helped
the Big Journalist.
The unterrified old guard of
simon-pure democracy met in At
lanta yesterday.
They met to nominate Parker,
of New York, and Parker they
nominated with a vim and dash
seldom seen anywhere.
It was the biggest and best
convention ever held in the state.
Populism and its allies were
routed in the good old fashioned
democratic way.
It was seen from the start that
only the strong personality of
Congressman Griggs, Governor
Terrell, Commission Stevens and
Editor Graves, would win any
thing for Hearst, the big journal
ist. These gentlemen named,
number every Georgian as their
personal friend : but democrats
this year decided to put out a
man who could win the presiden
cy for them and they nominated
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, of
New York.
The legislative chamber was
packed from top to bottom, with
delegates and interested specta
tors. The cloture rule was put
on all speeches of whatever char
acter, and thus saved a day’s
time, much wrangling, and cre
ated almost perfect harmony
throughout the proceedings.
After a red-hot fight over the
question as to whether the word
“request” or “instruct” should be
used in resolutions favoring the
nomination for president of Judge
Alton B. Parker, of New York,
those favoring instruction won,
and the state democratic conven
tion adopted the following reso-
lutions by a vote of 166 1-4 to
157 3-4, which was then made
unanimous by the conventien:
Whereas, We believe that Judge
Alton B. Parker, of New York, is
the choice of an overwhelming
majority of the democracy of this
state as the democratic nominee
for president; and
Whereas, It is the duty of this
convention to give force and ex
pression to its wishes,
Resolved, That the delegates
from Georgia to the national con-
vention to be held in St. Louis
be, and they are hereby instructed,
to cast their vote for Judge Alton
B. Parker of the nominee of the
democratic party for president so
long as, in the opinion of the ma
jority of the delegates, there is a
reasonable probability of his nom
ination and that said delegates
shall vote as a unit on all ques
tion as a majority may determine.
