j STATE DEMOGB ATICPLATFORM
'• he w hisky indications are tor a
iiir .irv ppell, despite sdme of the
(. jli rosa assurances and beliefs of
tl r runpaign.
A good nation is a good thing, a
e< 0 d state is better, bat a good cily
w II promoted by its own people ie
th<- best ol all these blessings.
The men who oppose state prohi
bition are entirely too conspicuous
in present day politics. We venture
the observation at the risk of being
misunderstood.
.lust as long as the negro votes
solidly Republican in the South,
jn«t so long will the white vote cons
time to be solidly Democratic.
vVith the negro „ vote eliminated, a
different state of things will ex’st.
’Plus is t*he season of the year
when home, sweet, sweet home ain’t
so many after all. And most folk.-,
are trying to prove it by scouting
off to the mountains or seashore,
according to the price, aud staying
aw y a little while home becomes
‘•home, sweet home,” again.
It will be a great day tor this
country when the negro is entirely
eliminated, and the white v.ters
entirely control in all sections. The
houthern negro controls no electoral
rotes, but nevertheless he wants
the offices, and is aconriant source
ol trouble and annoyance to his
political allies m the North. He
should ! e taken entirely out of
politic 3 , and pu. clean away from
any hand in the government-.
Grover Cleveland, the only living
ex*'president of the United States,

was due to heart failure, compli

President Roosevelt issued official
proclamation ot the former’s death

The Democratic party ot Georgia,
in convention assembled, hereby
pledges anew in its alieg ance to the
cardinal principles a* declared by its
founder, Thomas Jefferson; and on
state issues ordains and adopts the
following principles and policies:
1. W e declare that the time has
come when all our people should
unite in sympathetic accord aud
co-operative endeavor to secure
again employment at fair wages to
those of our foliow citizens who are
unwillingly idle, or on short time,
and whose families are deprived of
the comforts of life. No country
can prosper whose yeomanry at the
workshop or in the field does not
find work to do, and full compensas
tion for that work. The field for
endeavor m statecraft is to protect
the interest of the toiling masses.
No king or potentate ever had a
nobler impulse than to unlock the
coffers ot the rich and feed the poor
by giving opportunity for, arid pro
tection to, investment in the larger
enterprises which call for skill labor
and lor brawn and muscle. We be
lieve with Jefferson in “a wise and
irugal government, which shall re
strain men from injuring one another
shall leave them otherwise free to
regulate their own pursuits of in .
dusiry and improvement and shall
not take trom the mouth of labor
the bread it has earned. This is
the sum of good government, and
this is necessiry to close the circle
of our felicities.”
2. We pledge not only to citizens
of this state, but to citizens of other
states, that all capital invested i*
legitimate enterprises in Georgia,
whether foreign -or domestic, cor*
potato or private, shall have the
equal protection of the laws and the
equal friendly considerat >on of those
who administer the laws.
3. We believe in the strict con
trol aud firm regulation of all pub*
lie utility corporations, and favor
prescribing sue. freight and passen.
ger rates r.s wi'l be just to the cor
poration and to the traveling and
shipping public, and such rules as
will give to shippers expeditious
and safe transportation and quick
adjustment of all claims for over*
charges, damage aud d mnrrage;
and to passengers regular scaedule,
comfortable coaches, well-lighted
and (in winter) well- heated wait
ing rooms with the necessaries
for comfort To further insure the
accomplishment ot the above aim
we favor the requirement that the
common carriers shall maintain
their roadbeds in safe condition, and
shall provide such warehouses and
will foster the agricultural, atercan-'
tile and manufacturing industries of
the state.
Jl. We favor the strict enforce*
raent of the laws against lobbying.
12. The successful candidate for
governor, having by his public ut
terances removed the prohibition
question from the field of legisla
tion for the next two years, we
should, therefore, discourage by all
legitimate means, any effort to re.
peal, emascalate or weaken the
present law, and favor its honest
and strict enforcement.
13. We are opposed to unneces*
sary offices which levy additional
taxes on the people; and we ask the
legislature to scan carefully Geor
gia’s payroll to the end that all
sinecures be cut off. We especially
favor a reduction in the member
ship of the railroad commission trom
five to three, and the abolishment
ot the special attorney to the same.
14. Weiavorthe holding of the
white Democratic primaries for the
Domination of candidates for gov -
ernor, stale house officers and all
other officers who are chosen by the
popular vote of the state, at which
the only qua'ifications for the privil
ege of participating therein, aside
from bring white electors, shall be
the 83rae as prescribed by the laws
governing general elections.
All persons voting thereat, there
by obligating themselves to support
the nominees of snob primary, and
we direct that the state Democratic
executive committee shall nbt call
any such primary prior to the month
ot August aud not until after the
adjournment of the legislature.
15. We pledge ourselves to dis
courage undesirable iimnigiation by
all legal methods,
16. We favor such constitutional
restrictions on suffrage as shall
protect the ballot from the venal
and corrupt, ltelyingj upon the
ratification of the proposed fran
chise amendment of next October,
we pledge ourselves to the strict
and impartial enforcement ot the
same.
17. Recognizing that the cardinal
principle in the enforcement of our
criminal laws is the punishment ot
crime, the reformation of the offender
and the protection ot society, we
pledge ourselves to such chang s
iu oar convict system as will com*
pletely eliminate any traffic in con
vict l.bor, and as far as possible
place the state’s con victs upou pubs
lie works.
18. VVith an abiding faith in the
virtue of our people, and in a glort*
other ■ erminals and way stations oug future for our commonwealth,
and facilities a6 the expanding com- ' ww U p OB all Georgians to nnite

Going After It
fi.ere is pending a contract b *
twee : ihe Alban’- Business League
and a water transportation company
as the remit ot which th^ee boats
will be plaaed >n the Flint, making
cun lections on a regular schedule
wi.L boats plying the Gulf and 'he
Mississippi. These boats will be
guaranteed a certain monthly ton
nage of freight to and from Albany,
and the water freight rate *o estab
lished will have to be met by the
iaifro3ds.
The sys.em with which Albany
business interests have taken up
this matter leaves little room for
dpubt that the results sought will
be obtained, and without delay.
The present boat service on the
Flint is efficient, but is carried on
by boats without regular connec
tions.
Got to Advertise.
Newspaper advertising has p ;ssed
the experimental stage, and the
largest advertisers in the world
spend more of their au trial a tver.
rising appropriations for newspaper
than for any other medium.
Spasmodic advertising will not
accomplish much. It is the steady
stroke of the hammer that makes
the impression on the iron; so it is
the steady advertising that make* a
lasting impression upon the public
mind.
Advertising campaigns should be
planned and executed with as much
care as buying and selling goods.
In this day of strenuous compel!
tion, the man who keeps everlas'. -
lng’y at it, will win with t.’:e great*
esl success.

“For several years 1 sufferea more

trouble. Sometimes I had pains
about my hipB and in my limb*
