Developements at State Con-:
vention Indicate Compromise
to Beat Brown
BY SAJU.X.ES BMAICK.
MACON. Ga.. Aug. 27. —Developments
over Tuesday indicate beyond a doubt
that the contest tor commissioner of ag
riculture which will come before the
state Democratic convention Wednesday
is now between J. J. Brown, of Bow
man. Elbert county, arid J. D. Price, of ;
Farmington. Oconee county. A- O. Bla
lock. of Fayetteville. Fayette county.
has formed a combination with Price
and these two are bending every effort
to defeat Brown. It is not regarded as
probable that Blalocks name will go
before the convention. In fact, he and
Price are known to have gotten together
several days ago. Under the terms of .
the agreement it is said Blalock will
throw all of the convention strength he
can control to Price. In consideration
of this service on the part of Blalock.
Candidate Price is said to have agreed
in the event of his election to name an
assistant commissioner of agriculture
acceptable to Blalock. However, it is a
question whether Blalock can deliver his
votes to Price., He and his close friends
Tuesday afternoon and evening
sounding out the delegates.
All three of the candidates for com
missioner of agriculture have opened
headquarters tn the Lanier hotel. Ac
cording to the official figures Brown
will go into the convention with 150
votes of counties carried by him; Price.
IJB. and Blalock. 84. It is said that
Blalock's plans are not to release any
doubtful delegates, but to switch all (
he can rely upon to Price. Whether he |
can deliver to Price a sufficient majority
of his votes to defeat Brown is doubt- !
fuL Not only has Brown the best of
the contest in the number of conven
tion votes, but his strength isgreatly
augmented . by the support of all the
fertilizer manufacturers of the state,
many of whom are delegates to the,
convention. Thos who are not delegates
are here working like beavers to elect
Brown also, who is favored by fhomas
Watson and his friends in the conven
tion. ,
It really appears that Brown has a i
moot decided advantage over his oppon
ents, but it remains to be seen what
will be the result of the Blaloek-Price
combination.
ROOSEVELT MAY SPEAK
HERE ON SOUTHERN TRIP
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
T.a GRANGE. Go., Aug. 27. —Secretary
Busch, of the chamber of commerce, has
* written Colonel Roosevelt inviting him
to speak at LaGrange on his trip south.
Monday morning the following letter ,
was received from Hon. George Roose-1
velt. relative of the ex-president:
"Colonel Roosevelt’s speaking trip is
being arranged at these offices and your
kind invitation has been referred to me.
In the tremendous amount of territory
to be covered you can see that it is im
possible to arrange the speeches so as to
satisfy every one. and it is most neces
sary not to work Colonel Roosevelt be

poeibility to cover the entire country
and make more than one speech in a
state, with the possible exception of
some of the very large states, such as
New York and Pennsylvania, and I
believe that the speech in Georgia wi(l
be made at Atlanta. I know that Colonel
Roosevelt would be delighted to stop at
LaGrange if it were possible, but I hope I
I have made clear to you the situation j
in which he is placeo.
"Sincerely yours.

Golden Vexts Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the
erown of life. Bev. 2:10.
After His return from Nazareth to
Capernaum Jesus sent His disciples out
two by tw'o giving them authority to
cast out devils and heal the sick. They
went out on this journey; the work
which they accomplished created such
a stir that the news of it reached Herod
the king, in his palace. A year before
this he had been in another one of his
palaces in southern Palestine; he had
gone there to protect himself because
of the opposition which had been arous
ed by his action. He hud divorced his
wife, who was the daughter of King
Aretus. and had taken his sister-in-law
in unlawful wedlock. King Aretus was
very much angered, and the people of
Israel were about to be thrown into a
state of war, with all that that means,
because of his foolish and sinful act.
John the Baptist had boldly denounced
his sin, and had incurred the anger of
Herodias, his unlawful wife. At her in
stigation he had been put in prison,
where for more than a tear he had re
mained restive under liis confinement.
Herodias' hatred had been constant and
accumulative. Time and again during
the period of confinement Herod had
wished-to release John, for he was very
popular with the people, but he had been
afraid to incur his wife’s displeasure,
and had placed him back again in pris
on each time.
Herodias, however, had made up her
mind to get even with John, and to get
rid of one who could be so troublesome
to her. Finally her opportunity came
on Herod's birthday. I have no doubt
but that she arranged and suggested
the entertainment with that purpose in
view. At any rate after the evening’s
entertainment was over, in the presence
of the nobility and when all were inflam
ed with wine, she sent her daughter, Sa
lome. into the banquet room to dance
before these drunken men. How bitter
must have been her hatred that she
was willing to sacrifice her daughter in
order to obtain her end!
The costume and .movements of the
dancer were calculated to excite these
drunken men, and under this Influence
Herod made a rash promise; that he
would give her anything that she de
sired. even to a half of his kingdom.
Had he been sober he would probably
not have made the promise without cal
culating what it cost him. When she
stated her request, had he been a man
instead of a weakling he would have re
fused to have granted so foolish a re
quest. A good deal has been said about
the Salome dance, but any one who has
ever investigated the question knows
that the origin of the dance amongst all
less civilized people is the same as that
by which Herodias acquired her end.
Prompted by her mother, Salome asked
for the head of John the Baptist on a 1
charger, which was shortly accomplished.

Delegates from Clayton
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
JONESBORO. Ga., Aug. 27.—The fol
lowing delegates will represent Clayton
county at the state convention at Macon:
J. W. Mundy and O. J. Coogler
Herod won her point after more
than a year’s scheming, even at the cost
of her daughter’s honor and of being a
murderer herself. Herod had revealed his
weakness in not doing what was right
because he feared the people, and in
continuing to do what was wrong be
cause he feared his wife. John had lost
his life. No, he had saved his life, by
his boldness in denouncing sin, even
though it was in the highest places In
the kingdom. Backbone is always costly.
Paul wrote to. Timothy that all who
would live gojlly must suffer persecution.
It may not always take the form of
murder as in this instance, but in our
day it will probablyS take some form
which is harder to bear. There are cases
today which require backbone just as
in John’s day. There are sins to be
denounced in high places. It will cost'
something to any man who exercises
the boldness of John. John might have
kept his mouth shut and lived a few
years longer; but he did right, he did
that ■which was for the good of his peo
ple, for Herod’s good. He saved his
life in losing it.
Now, when Herod heard the report of
the work which had been done by these
men, his stricken conscience made him
feel that it was none other than John
the Baptist risen from the dead. His
courtiers tried to dissuade him from the
view, but he could account for it In no
other way. He did not realize that Jesus
had given these men authority and that
the work which they were doing in His
name was even more wonderful than
what he thought, namely the works of
a ghost.
Do you realize that the men who ac
complished these works, the report of
which caused such a stir, were men like
unto ourselves? They were just ordinary
men, but men who trusted and obeyed
Jesus Christ. If you trust and obey
Him, He can work through you as He
did through them so as to make other
men take notice. They will probably give
just as erroneous an explanation of the
reason for the result In the life as Herod
and his courtiers did in this instance.'
but It will be nevertheless true that you
can bring them to the point where they
must acknowledge that God still works
in and through men.
Let me ask you a few questions which
may God help you to answer. Are you
like Herod, temporizing and trying to
please everyone on the ground of experi
ence, afraid to do what you know is
right because you want to please the
pebple, or this one or the other? Like
Herodias are you willing to sacrifice
everyone to attain your end? Have you
the backbone of John? Are you letting
Jesus Christ work through your life
so that other men cannot get away from
the Idea that, it must be God working
in you? Are you making other men
think of Jesus by the way you live?

STRAW BALLOT COVERING 31 STATES'

Commissioners’ Meeting Polled
in Milwaukee Gave Wilson

Vote-Campaign Plans.
BT BAl.ra SMITH.
SEAGIRT, N. J.. Aug. 27.—The presi
dential campaign has finally reached the
straw ballot stage and yesterday Gov
ernor Wilson received news of a poll
that was taken last Saturday at Mil
waukee. The result was favor-able to
the Democratic candidate. Eugene C.
Magril of Richmond. Va , polled the com
missioners of 32 states who had assem
bled in Milwaukee for the consideration
of a scheme for uniformity in state laws.
The result follows: Wilson 35; Taft 17;
Roosevelt 1. Two commissioners were
undecided and three did not vote.
Mr. Magril’s letter to Governor Wil
son explains that many of the commis
sioners are avowed Republicans who In
dicated a purpose to support the Demo
cratic nominee. The lone follower of
Roosevelt hails from Wisconsin and ad
mitted that his state though normally
Republican would give Its electoral vote
to Wilson.

The result of the poll is regarded as
highly significant. The commissioners
are among the most representative men
of their respective states and in indicat
ing their personal preference it is be
lieved that they reflected the sentiment
of an overwhelming number of their fel
low citizens.
.THE BATTLEGROUND.
While ho member of the campaign
committee admitted as much, the confer

Governor Wilson and his (political ad
visers made it "evident that Pennsylvania
and New York will be the battleground
of the/campaign. The Democrats intend
