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? W. E. H.

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, Thomas J.

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.
