court house lawn Saturday afternoon
to hear the first, and perhaps the
only speech, which John N. Holder,

The meeting here was in the na

duties at the State capitol about
noon, and was given a warm recep

was this slogan, “Holder for Gover- j
nor.” In the court house grove, at j
the .corner of South avenue .ad
Washington street, loyal fellow
townsmen had erected a large stage
and decorated it with flags and flow
ers.
Out in front temporary seats for
about a thousand persons had been
constructed, but the seats were not
sufficient to accommodate more
than a small portion of the crowd.
Conspicuous among those who oc
cupied seats On the stage with Mr.
Holder was J. J. Mitchell, of Harris
burg district, Jackson county, Mr.
Holder’s first school teacher. Mr.
Mitchell, who is in the eighties, was
given a special chair directly in front
of Mr. Holder because of 'his impair
ed hearing. He has been devoted
to Mr. Holder throughout the latterV
entire life and is most eager to see
him become governor.

the stage with Mr. Holder were:

of Gainesville, W. L. Collier of Ma
con, and T. J. Shackelford of Athens.
Music was furnished by a band
from Athens.
Mr. Holder made a ringing ad-i
dresj, and was v wamly applanded.
Space forbids our publishing the full
text of his speech, hut he was strong
in his assertain that there is but one
issue in this campaign—whether the
State shall be loaded down with a
tremendous bond issue.
Mr. Holder charged that selfish
Their Golden Wedding
(From Winder News)
Fifty years ago last Tuesday, Au
gust 24, Mr. J. M. Jackson and Miss
Missouri Austin were married by Rev.
Philip F. Lamar. Mr. Jackson was
born on the west side of Beech
creek. Dock Lay now owns the
place, and Miss Missouri Austin was
born on the east side of the creek,
where J. W. Casper now resides.
These two fine citizens were born
in this section, reated in this sec
tion, and have lived in this section
all of their lives. They were mar
ried August 24, 1876, and moved to
Jug Tavern in 1879. Mr. Jackson
built the first store in the small vil
lage. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are the
only survivors of their families.
On August 24, fifty ye&rs ago the
day was very much like last Tues
day, raining about the same time of
day and the sun shining about the
same time. There was a bright
cloud which sent down large drops
and immediately the sun shown out.
It looked 'like the firmament was fill
ed with silver. The drops of rain
were unusually iarge and the sun
shown unusually bright.
There are only five persons living
that were at that wedding. Mrs. Jud
sou Jackson, her daughter, Mrs. Birt
Jacobs, and Charles, her brother, Mr.
R. L. House, and Miss Phoebee Hardi
gree, who later married Mr. Carruth.
She and Mr. Carruth were attend
ants, also Mr. Z. F. Jackson and Miss
Josephine Austin.
Mrs. J. M. Jackson was the first
girl that Mr. Jackson ever visited.
He was 3 years and fotir months old
at the time. His mother took him
with her to see Mrs. Austin, and Mrs.
Jackson was a babe in her mother’s
arms. There were no buggies in
those days, so he had to ride horse
back in his mother’s lap. One thing
that impressed Mr. Jackson on that
trip, and that was a beautiful white
door knob on the front door.
To these fine citizens the best wish
es of a host of friends is extended.
May they celebrate their diamond
jubilee.
Mr. Edwin Tribble, who has been
attending Mefcer Summer school, is
at home for a short visit before re
turning to Mercer to begin his studies
as a member of the v senioi class.
special interests, \fliich would reap
vast profits from a state bond issue,
were behind the opposition to him.
He declared that under the law the
"State highway board has 786 miles of
additional state highway to allot and
that it will allot every mile of it.
He said that the intense activity of
the Macon Telegraph against him is
explained by the expectation of the
paper’s editor to be chairman of the
state highway board in the event the
Holder opposition is successful.
He said the present governor, who
had sought to oust him as chaiman of
the state highway board, had since
endeavored to entice him from his op
position to bonds by offering to make
him chairman of a bond commission
to spent $70,000,000.
He said that his opponent from his
home county had offered to -retain
him as chairman of the highway board
if he would not run for governor.
He declared he is running his own
race and is not allied with any other
candidate nor in combination with any
one.
He shewed that the highway de
partment had,made almost phenomen
al progress since he became chair
man of the board. /
He pointed out that beginning next
year there would be available $13,-
000,000 a year for highway purposes.
He announced his support of a
program of educational expansion—
both in the common schools and in
stitutions of higher learning.
He declared in favor of strengthen
ing the banking laws of the state so
as to give the greatest possible meas
ure of protection to the deposits of
the people.
He said he had not made any pro
mise of any office to any persons and
would not make any such promise.
He announced his opposition to any
increase in taxation.
He declared he would not call any
extra session of the legislature unless
matters of gravest necessity required
i immediate attention by that body.
He said he would advocate the eli
mination of all waste and duplication
in the state’s activities and would
advocate the economical handling of
all the state’s moneys.

REV. NAT LONG AT METHODIST
CHURCH
A large congregation greeted Rev.
Nat G. Long at the Methodist church
on Sunday at 11 a. m. He occupied
the pulpit in the absence of the
pastor, Rev. L. B. Linn, who was
away in discharge of his duties at a
camp meeting.
Rev. Long chose for his subject
“The Life of Four Dimensions,” bas
ing his thought on the comparison of
the lives of Methuslah and Christ—
the former covering a period of nine
hundred years, and the latter only
thirty years. He pictured the life of
Christ, its length, breadth, width and
depth, in beautiful language, and
showed the lives of every one must
be four-square in every particular.
His sermon was heard with much at
tention and interest, and many ex
pressions of approval and congratu
lation were extended the young
preacher at its close.
Jefferson delights to honor this
Jackson county boy, who has chosen
tp work in the Master’s vineyard, and
whose efforts to prepare himself for
this noble calling have met with
such wonderful success.
HON. J. G. COLLINS SPEAKS

impression upon the public.

Holder Is Indorsed By How
rd Ennis in Jefferson Talk
Captain Howard Ennis, mayor of
Milledgeville and president of the
Georgia atatc senate, in a short ad
dress here Saturday afternoon strong
ly indorsed John N. Holder for gov
ernor and declared he will sweep
Georgia by an unprecedented ma
jority.
Captain Ennis, who was on the
platform while Mr. Holder spoke,
was called upon by many members
of the great crowd after Mr. Holder
concluded. Responding in a brief
speech, Captain Ennis said:
“I live at Milledgeville, 30 miles
from Macon, and a reader of the
Macon Telegraph might assume that
no one but Carswell has a chance
in the governor’s race. I served in
the legislature with both Mr. Cars
well and Mr. Holder. Mr. Carswell
dives but 20 miles from me.
| “I selected Mr. Holder ns my choice
for governor when I considered the
records and abilities of both men.
“I am sure the old ship of state
will be safe in his hands and I am
also sure Mr. Holder will sweep the
state by an unprecedented majority.
“Let me tell you a little about
that senate investigation of the
charges against Mr. Holder. I war.
president of the senate and living
within 30 miles of Macon, I knew
Editor Anderson, of the Macon Tele
graph. I knew of his rabid charac
ter and animosity to everyone who
would not bow to him and knowing
of this I made especial efforts to
get the best possible committee to
investigate the charges against Mr.
Holder. I appointed on this com
mittee Senator Collier, of Mr. An
derson’s own district, and one of
the best men in Georgia. I named as
chairman of this committee Senator
Hutchinson, who preferred the charg
es against Mr. Holder, and who in
troduced the resolution calling for
an investigation. I also najn-'d on
this committee Senator Dickson, a
friend of mine from Jenkins county
and a long time associate in the leg
islature, an honorable and high class
man, and two north Georgia senators
high character and ability.
“I requested this committee to go
thoroughly into the charges and make
an unbiased report. The report wad
made and Mr. Holder was exornerat
ed. My mind was entirely satisfied.
“I am charged by some with sup
porting ring politicians—Yes, I am
in the good government ring. In
my city, county and state I stand for
good government and I stand for
John Holder, who I know will give
Georgia good government.”
