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.

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 the “city of the dead” he did n «t leave the vault.
