ATLANTA’S ILLUSTRI-
OUS QUEST.
Atlanta will never welcome a greater
or a nobler guest than the illustrious
citizen who comes to us on Saturday.
When the history of the era is writ
ten by impartial hands—beyond all
bitterness of faction, and above all
jealousy of contemporaneous ambition
—Mr. Bryan will be remembered and
recalled as the Great Commoner of his
time. Within the decades of his life
and by force of scope and consistency
of his splendid service to the people,
he has won and will securely wear this
-title which is greater than president
and nobler than emperor. The “great
est private citizen in the world” has
no need of garish titles or of empty
public stations to enlarge his useful
ness or to gild his fame. The presi
dency would not add one jot or tittle
to the great name of William J. Bryan.
Office never yet ennobled manhood. It
is the man that mukes the office noble.
It is well for the Georgia youths who
view the adulation and hear the trib
utes lavished upon Atlanta’s illustrious
guest to remember the lines upon
which his great position has been won.
It is well to know that not hi eloquence
alono, nor in Intellect or force or wis
dom, in which he has many rivals, but
In character is Mr. Bryan great.
For twelve long years ns stormy,
strenuous and eventful as any citizen
eyer spent—speaking incessantly, writ
ing constantly, and always in the full
blaze of publicity, this man lives today
before the world without a stain upon
Tub character or a shadow upon the
aigiml purity of his public and private
Jiving.
No enemy In all the republic has been
found to smirch the fair escutcheon on
which is writ the record of an open and
a noble life. Flinging his convictions
bravely in the face of all his genera
tion, and battered with u thousand
controversies of conflicting thought,
during all these years his loftiness of
thought, his sincerity of purpose and
his truth in speech have remained un
impeached and unquestioned by friend
or foe.|
Men may honestly doubt the eligi
bility of this great man for a third
leadership of the political party he has
honored. Honekt and loyal democrats
may dissent from his opinions, criticise
the fallibility of his judgment, and
seriously question (as we have done)
-his capacity to win and to execute the
great commission of democracy in these
tremendous times. Leaders at the
fore and patriots in the ranks may ask
themselves whether one who has been
twice defeated is the man for democ
racy’s crucial and eventful battle.
But there can be but one opinion.as
to the man whom Atlanta greets on
Saturday—whose presence betters ev
ery political atmosphere, und whose
character is a shining inspiration to
every American youth—that William
J. Bryan is indeed the tallest moral
figure that the politics of our country
has developed within these fifty years.
He is indeed an ever-welcome guest
to Georgia and Atlanta.—/ tlanta Geor

CIRCULATION CLAIMS.
The Herald has bourne somewhat
patiently the claims of other papers in
this district that their circulations were
larger than The Herald. Of course
these clnims have not been made with
knowledge, but no doubt in good faith.
It is impossible for us to say whether
Tns Herald’s circulation is larger
than other papers because we do not
know. However, we are willing to
submit the matter to nny fair test and
let the comparative circulation of the
papers be known, if there is anyone
enough interested in the matter to
want n test made.
The Herald has never claimed a
larger circulation than other papers
for two reasons. First, because it is
impossible to have accurate knowledge
and second, because we doubt the pro
priety or good policy of comparisons;
but wo have repeatedly invited our
advertisers to examine our list and
they are welcome at any time to do so.
“THERE IS YET HOPE.’’
The Dublin Times reminds Tns Her
ald that in spite of every effort made
to reduce insurance rates, the South
eastern Tariff Association is still doing
business at the same old stand, fixing
rates as usual, and intimates that there
is little prospect of early relief.
Tnx Herald does not know the rntes
charged in many of the other cities of
the state and we are not piepared to
say that the rates everywhere are un
just or unreasonable. Probably the
rates are too high at Dublin, as they
are here.
What the people here base their crit
icism of the Tariff Association rates
for Sandersville principally upon, is
that after taxing themselves to con
struct a splendid water works system
and providing lire fighting apparatus
of a high order and afterdemonstratiug
the efficiency and excellence of the lire
department and its work, the Tariff
Association should not give the city -a
general and substantial reduction in
rates.
We assume that the Times has the
same complaint against the S. T. A.
for its own city.
It may be fortunate that other cities
of Georgia find their insurance rates
too burdensome. Indeed, there are
many complaints we have heard.
There is a remedy. Such conditions
could not exist in this day and there
not be some wuy to relieve tho situa
tion and we believe the editorial of the
Dublin Times calling attention to the
defiant attitude of the Association,
will go a long way toward helping to
arrive at the proper course to pursue
to get the proper reductions.
There are some who question the
right of the Southeastern Tariff Asso
ciation to fix these rates under the
state or federal laws and perhaps the
test of this right some day /will give
the towns now burdened with unrea
sonable rates the relief they stand in
need of.
Editor John Temple Graves, of the
Atlanta Georgian, has accepted the
position of editor of the New York
American, one of Hearst’s great news
papers and perhaps the most important
national daily of them all. Mr. Graves’
editorials will now be read by about
four million people and he will be in
position to render the south splendid
service. Rarely has a southern man
been so honored, and The Herald
joins Mr. Graves’ many friends and
admirers in offering congratulations.
The Georgian will be edited by Mr. F.
L. Seely, its publisher. The people of
Georgia have learned to greatly admire
Mr. Seely and Appreciate his writings
and there is no doubt but that the
Georgian will continue to win friends
under his leadershjp.
The death of Judge Aikin, president
of the Georgia senate, removed one of
the state’s best men and purest officials.
DEMOCRACY’S CHOICE.
The ovation given Mr. Bryan last
Saturday strengthens the belief which
now generally prevails that he will be
nominated by the democrats without
opposition.
So far as Georgia is concerned, there
has never been a doubt since he return
ed from his world tour or even before
that time. Indeed, shortly after the
last election many Georgia papers de
clared that it was doubtful that Mr.
Bryan was the leader of the democratic
party.
The last State Convention, which
spoke with the authority of the white
people of Georgia, declared Mr. Bryan
to be the choice of the people of this
state for president in 1908.
The Herald hns supported Mrt Bry
an since Judge Parker’s defeat and
like many other papers in Georgia
turned to him then as the re-habilita
ted leader of the democrats.
It has been clnimcd by some pi4>mi-
nent men that Mr. Bryan is pot popu
lar in the South. The Atlanta speech
and the hearty reception and the ova
tion given him shows how mistaken
these claims have been.
Mr. Bryan m y be said today to be
the leader of the largest personal fol
lowing of any man in America and
though many people oppoBe some of
his policies, there are few indeed but
who believe that he is one of the purest
and best men in public life , a fear
less, earnest advocate of the principles
in which he believes and a farsighted
and able statesman.
If the president really wants a third
term and the negro vote he should be
very careful about destroying ’possums
in the south. His press agent should
be better posted.

It is possible that President Roose
velt may move back to Georgia when
he retires to private life. He caught a

Louisiana and ate it. Of course the
president knows that Georgia produces
the best 'possums.

This is simply n business proposition

lung,” writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of
Rural Route 1, Georgetown, Tenn.,
“that I coughed continuously night and
day/ and the neighbors’ prediction—
consumption—seemed inevitable, until
my husband brought homo n bottle of
Dr. King’s New Discovery, which in
my case proved to be the only real
cough cure and restorer of wenk, sore
lungs.” When all other remedies ut

A COMBINATION OF
GOOD LOOKS AND DURABILITY.
That’s what our harness is—smart looking, full of style, and strong on* quality and work
manship. It’s the kind that can be depended on when nhc horse jumps or plunges.
The selling of harness is not a “department” of our business— it’s a part'of it. Do you
catch the distinction? Whether for work or pleasure, heavy or light single or double, we have it
and the fixings to go with it.
The price of hides and leather is soaring every day. Tanners and harness manufacturers
are ont of breath trying to catch up before it gets entirely out of sight. Most harness users will
pay a big advance in price this year. We bought our stock when prices began to jump. Conse
quently there’s notable difference between our prices and those quoted elsewhere and that is in
your favor.
The stock won’t last long. At our price it’s too good a thing to escape the wide-awakes.
Better drop in before tho game is over. >
