FOR STATE SENATE
The voters of the County have been

.V. STEVENS,
Nat Harris Spoke Here
a girl’s school instead of a hoy's
school. Why, if I had worked as hard
to get a girls’ school going as I did
to establish the school of technology-
I'd have been governor long ago."
This remark brought forth consid
erable applause, and, for that matter
Mr. Harris has a happy way of illus
trating his remarks that calls forth
applause at frequent intervals.
Mr. Harris said that he proposed to
give Geogla a business administration
were he elected and spoke at some
length on his experience w-ith the
state’s finances. He said that he be
lieved that the taxes could be reduced.
“I think that it w ill be possible to run
the government of the state more eco
nomically than it has been run, and
I propose to save the pople some mon
ey. How this money will be saved to
the tax payers, I will not say at this
time, however, it can be done and will
be done if your uncle Nat gets into the
governor's chair. And I want to tell
you right now, unless I am greatly
mistaken, Nat E. Harris is going to
be your next governor.’’
The candidate then introduced his
platform, which he said in brief con
tained but a few words, and that is:
“Do all the good you can for me and
I’ll do all the good I can for you."
Some of his opponents had stated
he said, that such a platform as that
was out of order. “But to my way of
thinking it’s the best sort of platform,
because it has been in existence for
2,0(00 years and was first adopted by
the iowly Nazerene.”
In mentioning his opponents, Mr.
Harris stated that he had nothng to
say against any of them. That they
were good, strong men, and that any of
them would make a good governor.
But he seemed to think that “Willie”
Harris would make a better census di
rector than he would governor, and so
Judge Harris urged the voters to vote
to keep “Willie” in the office of census
director.
After the speaking concluded, Mr.
Harris visited the New- Douglas hotel,
where he held a short informal recep
tion, and he went from here much elat
'd at the outlook in Coffee county.

So all ye crafty “ringsters - ’,
Who appear so hard to die;
Just mak all preparations,
For your mansions in the sky.

For when the votes are counted,
You will find what kind of sheep,
You thought you could manipulate
So very, very cheap.

Then when your great corruption fun
And cunningly loaded dice;
You’ll not deceive the honest men
To whom you seem so nice.

Because they know just what you are
And when you ask them why,
They'll tell you ’tis the story
Of the “spider and the fly. - ’

Are for STEWART and the right;
And you'll not bamboozle many
In your dirty little fight.

To sleep forever more,

Removing Paint.
To remove paint from chairs and
other painted articles, mix thoroughly
equal parts of common baking soda
and slaked lime. Moisten with water
to the consistency of paint and apply,
allowing to remain on for several min
utes. Wash off, and the paint will
come with it. If paint is old and hard,
allow preparation to remain on a little
longer.—Good Houskeeping Magazine.
Immortal Engraving.
If we work upon marble, it will per
ish. If we work upon brass, time will
efface it. If we rear temples, they
will crumble into dust. But if we work
upon immortal souls, if we imbue
them with principles, with the just
fear of God and love of fellow men,
we engrave on those tablets some
thing v ch will brighten to all eter
nity.—Daniel Webster.
