THE NEW PLATfORM.
Adopted by the Democratic
State Convention June 23d
We declare that the time has now
come when all our people should
unite in sympathetic accord and co
operative endeavor to secure again
“ mployment at fair wages to those
if our fellow-citizens who are un-
illingly idle, or on short time, and
td whose families are deprived of
he comforts of life. No country
can prosper whose yeomen at the
workshops and in the fields does not
find work to do, and a full compen
sation for that work. The greatest
field for endeavor in state-craft is to
protect the interest of the toiling
masses. No king or potentate ever
had a nobler impulse than to un
lock the coffers of the rich and feed
the poor by giving them an oppor
tunity for, aid protection to. in
vestt rs in the large enterprise which
call.for skill labor, and for brawn
and muscle.
We pledge not only to citizens of
this state, but to citizens of olher
states, that all capital invested in
legitimate enterprise in Georgia
whether foreign or domestic, cor
poration or private shall have the
equal protection of the laws and the
equal friendly consideration of those
who administer the laws.
We believe in the strict control
and firm regulation of all public
utility corporations, recognizing that
such corporations, within their
proper spheres are a positive good
and an essential force in the devel
opment of our country. We favor
perscribing such freight and passen
ger rates as will be just to the cor-
porotion and to the traveling and
shipping public, and rules as will
give to shippers expeditious and
safe transportation and quick ad
justment of all claims for over
charge, damage and demurrage, and
to passengers regular schedules,
comfortable coacies, commodious,
well lighted and (in winter) well
heated waiting rooms with the nec
essaries for comfort.
Such public utility corporations
as are purely local in their operation
should be left to the control of the
municipalities in which they are lo
cated.
We favor a return to the constitu
tional representative system, or
county unit plan, of representation
in our state conventions, with its
safeguarding checks and balances.
We favor a return to the payment
in one sum of Confederate pensions.
We favor the reduction of taxa
tion as quickly and to as great an
extent as can be made practicable.
We favor as liberal appropriations
for the common schools as the pub
lic fiances will allow and prompt
^payment on the teachers.
We favor the establishment of a
department of labor.
we faver the strict enforcement
of the law against lobbying.
The successful candidate for gov
ernor having by his public utter
ance removed the prohibition ques
tion from the field of legislation for
the .‘next gubernatorial term, we
should therefore discourage by all
legitimate means an effort to repeal,
emasculate or weaken the present
law, and favor its honest strict en
forcements.
We are opposed to unnecessary
offices which levy additional taxes
on the people; and we ask the eg-
islature to scan carefully Georgia’s
pay roll to the end that all sinecures
be cut off. We estecially favor
a reduction in the membership of
the railroad commission from live to
three, and the abolishment of the
office of the special attorney to the
same.
We favor the holding of white
Demacratic primaries for the nomi
nation ofjcaididate for governor,
statehouse officers, r and all other
officersjwhoaie chosen by the pop
ular vete of the state, at which the
only qualifications for the privilege
of partiaipating therein aside from
being white electors shall be the
same as are prescribed by the laws
governing genera! elections; all per
sons voting thereat, thereby obli
gating themselves to support he
ominees of such primary; and wo
4ifc:ct that the state Democratic ex
ecutive committee shall not call any
such primary prior to the month of
Augtist, and’until after the adjourn
ment of the legislature.
We pledge ourselves to discour
age undesirable immigration by all
legal methods.
We favor such constitutional re
strictions on suffrage as shall pro
tect the ballot from the venal and
corrupt. Confidently relying upon
the ratification of the proposed fran
chise amendment next October, we
pledge ou b Ives to the strict and
impartial enforcement of the same.
Recognizing that the cardinal
principle in the enforcement of our
crimnal laws is the punishment of
crime, the reformation of the of
fender and the protection of society,
we pledge ourselves to such changes
jn our conv ct system as will com
pletely eliminate any traffic in con
vict labor, and as far as possible
place the state’s convicts upon the
public works.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in
the Spring or early summer, they
call it ‘‘Spring Fever ’ But there
is no fever usually. It is the after
effect of our winter habits. The
nerves are mostly at fault. Tired
worn-out nerves leave us languid,
lifeless, and without spirit or ambi
tion. A few doses of Dr. Shoop’s
Restorative will absolutely and
quickly change all of these depress
ing symptoms. The Restorative of
course won’t bring you back to
full health in a day or two, but iV
will do enough in 48 hours to sat
isfy you that the remedy is reach
ing that “tired spot.” Druggists
everywhere are advising its use as
a splendid and prampt general tonic.
It gives more vim and more spirit
to the spoonful than any other
known nerve or consiitutional tonic.
It sharpens a failing appetite, aids
digestion, frees sluggish livers and
kidneys, ^and brings new life,
strength.^nd,. ambition. yTest it a

N AMING prices with 'special, extra special,
and value so and so, tacked on before them
is something that we rarely allow ourselvs,
to indulge in for we realize that it is re
sorted to so much that it has become monotinous.
But some times ‘in the course of human events,’ we
run across a ‘Doubting Thomas’ or a man ‘from
Missouri’ whom we cannot convince without fig
ures that we sell everything in the hardware line
cheaper than they can buy elsewhere. We have
found a few of this variety and we are ready with
‘the goods’ and the prices ‘to show them.’ And in
order that they may be ‘shown’ we quote a few
‘extra special values’ and by studying them you
can see without the use of the latest invention, the
‘Lynoscope’ that it is not necssary to look all over
the earth trying to beat them:
