BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA, JULY 16
Only One Term.
The following statemant was maile
by William J. Brvan when he re*
ceived the announcement ol h’s
nomination:
“The honor ol the presidency is
the highest official possession in the
world, and no one oecapying it can
afford to have i is views npon pub
lic questions based by personal am
bition. Recognizing his responBK
bility to God and his obligations to
his countrymen, he should enter
npon the discharge of his tinti. s
with singleness ol purpose.
“Believing that one can best do
this when be is not nlanning for a
second term, I announce now, as a
have on former occasions, that i!
elected I shall not be a candidate
Jor reflection. This is a nomina'
tion as purely from the^people as it
can be, and if elected my obligation
will be as pmrely to the people. 1
appreciate the honor more because
it came not from one person or a
few persons, but from the rank and
file, acting freely and withou^com
pulsion.”
make rayse.f necessary to the bu‘i
ness.
No matter how “scarce” times
tre, there are a few employees who
re never laid off, nor are their
wages cut down. These are boys
wiio mak*- the wheels eo round.
And it isn’t Braids that counts
most; it is Intent. The difference is
this: the Bunch plot and plan for
personal gain tor ease and a good
time. The- other kind wovk for
the bouse, and to work for all is the
only wise way to help yourself.
Gen. R. E. Lee Born After
the Death of Mis flother
The one hundred and first anni->
versary of the birth of Gen. Robert
E. Lee. recalls the little knpwn fact
that he was b»rn more than a year
after his mother had been buried
tarnishing to the world ODe of the
meet astonishing oases o£ revivi*
scence on record.
General Lee’s mother was by no
m< ans an entirely healthy woman,
and the pby siciaa at Stratford, Va.,
the home of Henry Lee (Light
Horse Harry,) was kept in constant
attendance. Mrs. Lee suffered from
catalepsy, and during a prol nged
traucc she was pronounced dead.
The body was prepared tor inter-
ment, and the morning of the third
day after her supposed death the
remains were laid in the family
vault in the graveyard of that pretty
little Virginia village.
Members ol the family amie fre
quent visits to the vault, and while
the sexton was cleaning up and ar
ranging some flowers to be placed
on the casket, he heard a faint voice
Is Pension Commissioner Lindsey
to be a victim of factional politics?
The friends of Jdr Brown are some of
them insinuating that Mr. Lindsey’s
head will be reqaired for an act he
comm tted during the recent cams | 38 though of some one calling for
paign that was considered in the j assistance. Of coarse the old man

—Ex.
Well, why shouldn’t it be so?
Are not the “spoils” the prioe of
modern political service? and was
not their failure tp ’ recognize this
fact a great cause of both Cleve
land and Hoke Smith’s passing?

Bryan Some More
For the third time William J.
Bryan stand* as the standard bearer
ol the Democratic party, his boms
ination being compassed by the
necessary twosthirds vote. ‘ What*
ever may be his persistency and his
grip upon the party it must be
stated that he got the nomination
fairly, in spite of overwhelming pro 1 -
test from every part of the country.
People may say that there is fanati
cism on the part of delegates from
the West and timidity in the ranks
of the Eastern leaders, and undue
complacency in thu South. But the
nomination comes without the pres
sure of official patronage and with*,
out the influence o hired delega*
tions. Whatever else the conven
tion at Denver was, it was a con
vention ol the people. It was a
githeiing of th plain people, - who
thought they knew what. they
wanted, whether they did or no, and
who iu spite of all precedent, in
spite ol the dictates of prudence, in
spite of the looks of the things, or
.he prospect, er the promise of poli
tics, put up William J. Bryan, to be
elected or knocked down, as the
fortunes of war may determine.
And that ibr the third time he
will lead the party to defeat, we
think, is as certain as the election
in November.
had seen many years of service in

leave the vault. He lis’ened closely
and the voice was distinctly heard
again.. Becoming satisfied that the

alive. Releasing the' poerr woman
from her awful fate, assistance was
soon summoned and within a short
time she was sale in bed at her
home. : Mrs, Lee% recovery was

health, and a little more Urn a year
after she was buried alive her
youngest son, Robert E., was born

More Taxes.
The general assembly has got
down to work and is busily engag<d
upon the great and main purpose
fo which the Georgia legislature
exists, namely the enforcement oi
old tax Jaws and the devising of

Our recent Democratic 4 P-.ate con-
Vinth-n iuudh declared' fora reduc

scarcely dry up.n the paper before
our hlw-making body is bending all
its energies to the sharpening of the
