The resolution was warmly second

asm. z

Slaton, M. F. Morris, A Rogawskie,
J. M Leach and R. A. Gordon, was

COL. SEARCY REPLIES. .
Mmkbc. Edftom . Dr. Kick B. Drew- (
ry, the chairman and leader of Col Cand
ler’a force* in Spalding, and on* who t
style* hknaelf “Fair Play,” h*a attempted t
to refute the portion I took In the New* j
the other day-that Spalding county .
should support the Hon. Robt. Berner for i
tbe post lion of governor. ,
JU “Fair Play,” whose identity (
is unknown, think* that I am a a
very unfortunate letter writer. I will not ,
dwell on that, for any one unprejudiced, ]
who will read Col. Candler's letter to the «
Roman, and his explanation of it, can see ,
at a glance that if I am an unfortunate <
letter writer, it la not In the mouth of a ,
Candler man to make mention of the fact
He is in too big a glass house to be throw,
ing those kind of stones.
Dr. Nick B. Drewry does not deny that
Monroe county supported Judges Stew
art, Boynton, Speer and Hunt for the
judgeship of the Flint circuit; but he
proposes “never to forget who rung from
Spalding county the pleasure of having
Gov. Boynton made governor.”
Like many other people in this world,
the doctor would receive many kindnesses
from one, and then smite him if he did
not continue to do all he asked. That is
what the doctor means bv “wrunging” in
his treasured hatred of Monroe. Ko, the
doctor will never forget I Fifteen year*
ago U a long time, but ita scan are indeli
bly impressed upon hi* heart.
Monroe county is not like the doctor’s
i 4 never forgets.” A few years ago, when
the contest of the judgeship of the Flint
circuit hung in a balance between Judge
Pope and Judge Boynton, Monroe county
came to the rescue of Spalding county and
aided our good friend in his hour of need.
The doctor will forget that—yea, of course.
Why? Because it don’t suit his purposes
as leader of the Candler forces In Spalding
county.
The doctor says that fifteen yean ago
Tom Cabiness, of Monroe, led the opposi
tion to Gov. Boynton in the gubernatorial
convention. Yet he knows that Spalding
county in 1892 sent a delegation to the
congressional convention who were favor
able to the nomination of this same Cabi
ness, and they became his partisans in the
convention. The doctor forgets that Why?
Because his mind and heart are full of the
scars of fifteen years ago.
But in the contest that the doctor will
“never forget who rung/etc-,” he makes a
confession that would in a sincere breast
destroy all animosity to Robt L. Berner.
He says that in that very contest Col. Ber
ner was Gov. Boynton’s friend. If that
was true, why are you never forgetting
just at this time, doctor ? If Berner, then
but a young man, and not long a citizen
of Monroe, «e oompsrad with Got C«.W
neas, risked his future standing in the
county, by opposing Col. Cabiness, then at
the height of his political; glory if he
bore his manly breast to the storm of Ms
battle, and went down fighting for Boyn
ton, why would yon seek to rally Berner’s
friends against him now, because you can’t
forget the scars of fifteen years ago.
You are out Herroding Boynton him
self for he forgot the scars and supported
Cabiness for Congress, in 1892. Cabiness
forgot the scan for he supported Boynton
for Judge. Everybody has taken out the
scars except the Dr. The Dr. said I was
mistaken about Monroe always enppqrt
ing the candidate ot Spalding. I had for
gotten the exact status of that matter.
Let it be as the Dr. says that the Cabi-.
fleas faction was on top in that race, but
remember brave young Berner, true to
Spalding and true to Boynton went down-
Don’t let it ever be said that Cabiness’
mistake is still to follow Berner in the
midst of the friends of his friend, who
will proceed to reward him-with a stone.
What kind of folks are We to do a thing
of that kind? Oh Dr., if you are x a friend
in truth of Gov. Boynton whom I honor
and love, and whose wrongs I appreciate
and stand ready to defend—l say if you
are a friend of his dont touch his friend
Berner. He who Joved the bowers of the
oak that sheltered him in time ot storm
said: “Woodman spare that tree." Boyn
ton who appreciates so well a kindness
will bid you pause before you strike again
his friend.
Say Dr. who has Allen D. Candler aid
ed politically in this county? Mr. Ber
ner is a Christian gentleman who does not
curse, a temperance man who does not
drink. A poor boy of Central Georgia,
who is the architect of his own fortune.
A man who contributes like Alexander
Stephens, Georgia’s other bachelor Gov
ernor, to the education of young men and
young women, and to religious institu
tions. When the cyclone swept away
the Methodist church at Forsyth, Bob
Berner a Baptist, said dont be troubled
we will help you put it back. He headed,
the, list with $250.00, and soon the Metho
dists had a better house than before.
True to himself and his own, yet he
seeks his neighbors good. Can we go
back on Bob Berner?

Far Chief Justice-
To Tm Dxmocjucv Os Gxobgia:
I a am candidate for re-e’ection to the
office of Chief Justice., Under ths recent
amendment to the constitution, the jus
tice* of tito supreme court are elected by
the people, and at the last meeting of the
Democratic Executive Committee of this
State a convention was called to meet in
Atlanta, on the 20th day of July, so nomi
nate a candidate for Chief Justice of thi*
court, one term of > ; x year* and one for
an unexpired term ot two years. The
committee recommended that Democratic
primary elections be held in each county
on the 28rd day of June, at which the vot
ers are to declare by direct ballot their
choice for these three district offices, and
delegate* to the convention are to be ap
pointed who will favor the nomination of
those for whom the democrats of their re
spective counties express their prefer
encea.The form of ballot to be used in these
primaries has been prepared and certified
as correct by the Chairman of the Com-
mittee. It is as follows: ,
“FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.
“FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE for lull
term of BIX years.’’ j
• FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE for unex«
pired term of TWO years.”
“I certify that the above is a correct
form of ballot .or the primary of June 23,
1898. t
“F. G. duBiGHOH,
“Chairman Democratic State Executive
Committee."
The object of the committee in calling a
separate convention and ordering sepa
rate primaries for the selection of candi
dates for these offices was to prevent the
judiciary from being drawn into general
politics. “
' In accord with this sentiment, of which
I personally approve, I shall make no
canvass for votes, but I do not deem it
improper to announce in this manner my
candidacy for re-election to the office I
now hold. I regard this as a suitable
method of informing the people of my de
sire to continue to serve them in this
honorable station. If nominated and
elected, I shall, as I have heretofore done,
devote to the discharge of its important
duties all the ability I possess, faithfully
endeavoring to administer justice and
uphold the law as I understand it Deep
ly sensible of the honor heretofore be
stowed upon me, I remain
Your obediant servant,

Lemons for Insomnia-
From the Ashville Chronicle.
The Rev. T. S. Brown, the pastor of the
Lutheran church of this city, is running
opposition to Bishop Lyman on insomnia
cures. Mr. Brown yecterday told a Chron
icle reporter that lemon jtree, diluted and
taken just before retiring, will almost cer
tainly produce sound and refreshingsleep.
Mr. Brown also said that he had learned
from an eminent physician that if diluted
lemon juice were drunk after a heavy dose
of quinine, it would prevent latter’s caus
ing buzzing in the head.
