“The Democracy of Georgia in
convention assembled congratu¬
late the people of the state upon
the successful administration ol
her civic affairs, the prosperity
and happiness of her citizens and
the general satisfaction which pre¬
vails throughout her borders. We
cordially endorse the present
state i.dministration, our chief
executive, each of our state offi¬
cials, commending them for the
faithful, honest and efficient man¬
ner in which they have discharged
the delicate and arduous-duties
of their several cilices.
“We congratulate the people
of Giorgia that tHe rate of taxa¬
tion has been lowered, that all
property, real and corporate, by
reason of recent statute, is now
made to bear its proportionate
part of the burden of taxation.
This is ns it should be, for it is
but just that every species of
property should bear equally the
burden of taxation essential

ment of laws enacted for the gen¬
eral welfare.
“We uote with genuine pleas¬
ure the absorbing public interest
i’i the came of education, and
cordially endorse the efforts be¬
ing; made on that line looking to
n better and sti'd more etlic.ent
system of public schools.

though tot extravagant, pension
laws for the support of our needy
Confederate veterans in their
dining years.
“We reaffirm with emphasis
previously expressed demand of
Democratic conventions of this
state for an elective system
which will guarantee f ill protec
to every voter and will throw
inT ImViot every te¬
guard. Especially do we demand
that our election laws
so amended as to give assurance
that the ballot-of every registered
voter may be an incorruptible ex¬
pression of his judgment, and ev-
erv ballot so voted muv be le-
eorded and counted in a mannei
that can leave absolutely no
doubt, as to the fairness of the
election and the accuracy of the
result announced.
“We favor the enactment ol
such laws as will afford equal
and exact justice to labor and
capital alike, and the adminis-
tration of those laws in such a
spirit of fairness ns will protect
and foster the interests which are
already in the state, and encoui —
age the establishment e£ new en¬
terprises, thereby affording
markets and wider fields or in-

Triumphs of Modern Surgery,
Woderful things are done Un¬
the human body by surgery. Or¬
gans are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
inay be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are
appT.ed to wounds, bruises, burns
and like injuries before inflam-
mation sets in, which causes
them to heal without, maturation
and in one-third the time re-
by the old treatment,
ohamberlaiu’s Pain Balm aots
on this same principle. It is an
antiseptic and when applied to
injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. It also allays the
and soreness. Keep a bot-
of Paul Balm in your home
and it will save you
and money, noi to mention the
inconvenience and
whieh such injuries entail,

BROTHERS ARE RE UNITED.
After Twenty Years Become
Known to Each Other.
Quitman. (In. June S. — A
strange story came to light in
Quitman this week. Two broth¬
ers met after a separation of
twenty years; they had not seen
each other since childhood and
neither knew the other was liv-
ing, and yet they had been living
here in Quitman within a short
distance of each other several
moot lis.
The father of tlie brothers was
mimed Brinkley and died at Ilaw-
kinsville over tv enty years ago.
Ilis wife was left in poor circum¬
stances and she gave her two chil¬
dren away, Lee to one man and
Will to another, their ages being
six and three respectively. Due
man moved to Tattnall county
and took Will with him and his
mother and brother lost all trace
of him, though they advertised
for him.
Lee ran away at the age of 12
and went, to Indian Territory
and stayed three years. Ho came
back to Hawkinsville and later
to Brooks county. In the mean¬
time Will ran away and went to
Alabama, then back to Georgia
and later be came to Brooks
county from Fitzgerald. The
meeting was brought about last
night by G . W.- Mar¬
shal!. engineer and machinist at
A. and G. Mills. Marshall
formerly worked nt Pate’s Mill
and- when there he often heard
Lee I! rink lev who was working
Up also, speak of his lost
hr ». When he came to the
A. and G. Mills he met Will
Brinkley and noticing a strong
resemblance between the two
men. he made inquiries, and be¬
came convinced that they wore
the two brothers who were spe-
arated over twenty years ago.
Ho arranged a' meeting of the
two last Tuesday night, and their
identity was fully established.
The mother is livi gin Hawkins¬
ville and has married again and
both men are married.
Worst of all Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to
feel that evey minute will be
your last ? Such was the experi¬
ence of Mrs, fs. If. Newsom, De¬
catur, Ala. “For three years,
she writes, *T endured insuffer¬
able pain from indigestion, stom¬
ach and bowel trouble. Death
seemed inevitable when doctors
and all remedies failed, At
length I was induced to try Elec¬
tric Bitters and the result was
miraculous. I improved at once
and now I’m completely recov¬
ered. For liver, kidney, stomach
and bowel troubles Electric Bit¬
ters is the only medicine. Oidv

gists.
It is quite in the benign spirit
of the common law to presume
every man who asks for a pen¬
to be entitled to a pension
until he is proved not to be.
This puts the burden of proof on
the government, where it be¬
longs. Pious people cast their
burdens on the Loid; practical
people, on the government.$
