Manufacturers estimate Ujal more
than 10,000,000 American flags have
been made and sold in the United
States in the past sixty days. There
is uolhing particularly bewildering in
the above statement, but, as usual,
tome foei has bad to figure out that
suppoeing flags were an average length
of three feet, this would give a total
length of 5,682' miles o' stare and
stripes if placed end to end j which
would reach aogoas the continent from
New York to San Francisco and ex

miles to spare; or if made into one big

His Speech Was a Model, and Strack
Square Oat From the Shoulder on
Main Issues of the Campaign
Cuh Allen D Candler's speech here
yesterday was a success and had the I
effect ol solidifying the county lor
him x
His reception as he got off the 9:55
train was one that would have been
flittering under any circumstances,
because it was composed ol represen
tative men In every walk of lift, fret#
the banker to the artiren, from the
merchant to the farmer, and on the
sacs of each was a light of enthusiasm
fur Candler. He was introduced ip
thv throng that were eager to meet
him by President N. B. Dreary, Col
W. J. Kincaid, Col, Seaton Grantland
and Hon. B R Blakely who are prom’
ipent members of the Candler Club
here There was no formal commit
tee to receive him for as a commoner
be avoids ostentatious display and tbe
carriage that was to meet him drove
away ernp'y for he preferred io walk
with hie friends and talk to them.
They formed a-splendid procession
and just as the Hill street eweifiog
was passed the Griffin Rifles Band
met them and headed tbe procession'
playing the most spirited music and
the next Governor of Georgia
marched up Hill street with a happy
smile for each and every
one At President Drewry’s
office be held a reception and was
warmly assured by both town and
county that they were loyal to him.
In the meantime the band gave him a
continuous serenade.
While here Col Candler was the
guest of Col. W. J. Kincaid add at bis
home received many of his friends.
His appearance at the opera house
al 11 o’clock was the signal for Alling
that structure.
He was introduced in a eulogistic
speech by Dr. Drewry who was fre
quently applauded.
Col. Candler Was vociferously
cheereli upon hfajtppearance and he
began by thanking the people and the
gentleman who introduced him for
very flattering reception Then
he reviewed the questions of the dsy
slating that he was above all a dehio
crat and a free silver ooe,'though a
gold man could be Just as good a
member ol the party as a free silverite
He stated that he wanted no office or
preferment save on merit and empha
sised during hie speech that he want
ed uo friend trf bis to purchase a vote
for him either with whiskey or mon
ey. He elicited considerable a.nuse
meot when he told of a politician who
opposed him in an Atlanta caucus
and when asked his reason said s
"What’s in it for us if that old cuss is
elected?" and then they agreed on
Judge Spencer Atkinson
He said that tbe Peoples Party Pa*
per bad now combined with Atkinson
and Berner and were printing false
hoods on him.
He gave the record of the 'opposing
candidates and proved conclusively
that he had done the state jnore ser
vice than either
Col Candler reviewed his position
on economic questions and demoustra
ted the fact that his record for reform
was better than that of either of his
distinguished opponents. In refering
to the attack nfadV upon him by a lo
cal newspaperin regards to a tax fifa
duo this county since 1870, Col. Cand
ler was indignaxt and the audience
seemed to think justly so, for they
encouraged him with calls and ap
plause. He aaid: "In 1870 I lived
in Griffin and during that time buried
my brother, ffn the middle of the
year my wife's health being delicate I
resigned my position and hurried
away to the mountains of North Gear
gia and the first I evet heard of such
fl fa—if it exists—was when it was
published by Dodgfas Gleisner in his
7x9 newspaper
"Fellow citizens, it such afl fa was
eVer issued against me and presented,
I will swear to you that I paid it.
There is no county or town in the
stale that can show a fl fa lor taxes
against me that I have refused to pay ”
Thia was greeted withjoud applause.
He refuted the charges of drinking
that had circulated about him in cer
tain papers and in a letter written by
W. E. H. Searcy, of this county, by
saying that there was not a man in
heaven, hell or on earth that bad ever
taken a drink with him, for the reason
that, though 60 years of age, he bad
never taken one; that be was a demo
crat, not a prohibitionist, for he
thought it was too gfeat 'a moral
question to be handled on party lines,
and that be thought every section
should settle the question for them
selves, and be had always advocated
such a policy and voted for local op
tion.
He then took issue with the Macon
Telegraph and handled that organ
without gloves, saying that it had nev*
er been a democrat except in name,
and referred to the meeting under its
roof of Berner and Atkinson, for tbe
purpose of consultation, and said that
in three days the effect of it was shown
in its columns.
He closed hie speech with a manly
appeal for the votes of the Bounty—
not as a former citizen, not on person*
al grounds, but on merit.
In the afternoon be spoke to the
men out al the factory add was splen
didly received.

prepared to take care of all. And for the benefit of those who have a policy
in thin grand old company we give the following extract from a letter of the
president, Richard A. McCurdy:
“I wish you to assure every policy-holder in this Company
that his rights will be fully protected upder circumstances
and tba no one need hesitate to respond to the call of patriot
ism or duty through fear of the forfeiture of his policy.
RICHARD A. McOURDY, President.”
