The flexibility and elasticity of
“Queen Quality” Shoes and Oxfords
adapt them to any and all types of
feet.
The leather is suit aud delight-
fuJ to the touch, and they lit here,
there and everywhere with a Arm
yet gentle pressure that does fKva.v
with any possibility of the foot slip¬
ping forward and cramping the toes.
The upward ding of the under
arch, and the perfect clasp of the in¬
step, make them the realization of a
dream of foot ease.
IDEAL.
“Queen Quality” Shoes and Ox¬
fords give apparent height to low in¬
steps, and that much desired slender
appearance to feet that are broad.
They possess an adaptability to the
foot not found in other makes, and
the varied designs and materials in
which they may be procured is an
additional reason for their wide
spread popularity. They, include
shapes and styles for all feet aud
tastes.

Judge K. B. Russell arrived here
at six o'clock yesterday morning,
having travelled all night to reach
here alter speaking Monday at Bax¬
ley, Appling county, ami Monday
night at Lumber City, TelfairS^mnty;
and if he made as good an impression
a t those places as lie did here yester¬
day, he has made a good beginning
of his June campaign.
He was the guest during the day
at the handsome home of Judge R.
JS. Daniel, who introduced him at
eleven o’clock to a large and attentive
audience at the Bijdtr. Judge Daniel
spoke of knowing Judge liusseil from
the time they were both admitted to
the bar and watching his subsequent
career as a legislator, solicitor general
and judge of the Western circuit, and
paid an eloqhnt- tribute to his ability,
patriotism and loyalty to party and
State. He said that probably ho
other man could have made the race
he did .single-handed for the
“PLAIN DICK RUSSELL,”
The Candidate of the Masses for Governor of Georgia.
justiceship of the supreme court of
Georgia two years ago, when j»e
carried every county he’ spoke in, as
well as Spalding, which he did not
visit
Returns Thanks to Voters of ‘Spald¬
ing.
Judge Russell iu iris opening re¬
marks took ids first opportunity to
return his heartfelt thanks to the
voters of Spalding for their former
support, and immediately launched
into an effective argument why he
should receive their support in this
race.
His speech was dean cut, argu¬
mentative and practical, not only
showing up ttie evils with which the
State is at present most afliieted, but
unlike his opponents in this cam¬
paign, proposing practical remedies
for them. lie said that the present
low rate of State taxation could be
reduced onq-half by imposing the
same rate that others pay on the gross
earnings of the railroads according to
the actual value of the stock of the
railroads in the market. The way
to regulate freight rates was to ex¬
tend the State road either to the
Atlantic or the Gulf, to connect with
the coming Panama lines, to fix the
freight rates on this road by legisla¬
tion and to make it a law that other
roads should charge no higher rates.
Would Exempt $300 of Property.
He would exempt $300 ol household
furniture from taxation, the same as
It is from debts, thus ipreventing, the
State from seizing what it does not
allow others to seize. All notes and
other forms of indebtedness that
represent values should be made to
bear the stamp of the tax, receiver
d>efore they become collectable in
court, and thus a large part of proper¬
ty now hidden from taxation would
be brought to light.
He favored an increase of pensions
for Confederate soldiers and the strik-
ofthe word “indigent,” advocated
the paying of {tensions to all soldiers
of the “lost cause.”
Would Kill tho Jng Trade.
Judge Hassell voted for the present
ltx al option law when it was introduc¬
ed ai d defeated twenty-lbur years
ago and also when it was passed two
years later. He believed in a man
voting against prohibition, if he did
not believe iu prohibition, and not
voting for it just to keep in good
standing with his church; but when
thtf'honentj conscientious prohibition*
ists had carried a county with the aid
of the prayers of the good women, he
wanted that county to Im dry and
stay dry, and he favors a law mak¬
ing the wax seals on express pack¬
ages so hot that the agents could
not handle them.
He favored the ownership of the
school books by State as a great in¬
centive to the education of the jxsir,
and cited the records to show that he
was the author of the present public
school system.
Vote for the Man, Not for Hi* Millions.
The speaker closed with an elo¬
quent appeal to look Into the records
of all the candidates and then vote for
that man who was found to lie all his
life in touch with the common people,
and, would still be so after he becam
governor—not to vo^ for either of the
candidates of rival newspapers, or for
the other two millionaires who were
making the race and who would
cease to affiliate with the masses as
soon as they had received their votes.
He defied anybody to point out an
instance of a real reformer who had
come from the ranks of the rich—
they might be philanthropists with
their money, but they fought all
changes in thelaws that would affect
their interests.
It Was a Tailing Speech.
It was a direct, telling and vote
making speech. Among those who
W'ent up and congratulated the speak-
erlwas Rev. John 8. Jenkins, the pop¬
ular pastor of the First Methodist
church here, who pronounced it the
beet political speech he had ever
heard—not the most eloquent, per¬
haps, but the most effective. Rev. J.
J. Bennett, the equally beloved i«ae-
tor of the First Baptist church, was
also among those who extended con¬
gratulations; but he has been an out¬
spoken supporter of Judge Russell
ever since Dr. Nunnaliy came out of
the race. In fact, the judge was Mr.
Bennett’s first choice, being origin¬
ally from the same section and know ¬
ing him to be an upright, just and
able citizen.
This is the thoughtful and repre¬
sentative class of voters that listened
to^ and were influenced by Judge
Russell yesterday, and the support
that his coming brought out from all
over the county was a gratifying sur¬
prise to his friends.
Her* From Pilie and Coweta.
Numbers of good citizens were also
present from Pike and Coweta—from
Milner, Williamson and Zebulon, and
from Henoia and Haralson—such men
as Col. Henry Farr, C. F. Basser,
Lon Gray and others—w ho declared
that their counties would be in the
Russell column by August. ^
Judge Russell also spoke at the
Griffin Mills store at 6:30 and at
the Spalding Mills store at 8 J)0 o’clock
last night He.has staunch support
at all the mills and started the ball
rolling at both ends of towns in good
shape.
Alleged Attempt Made on Life of Con-
g footman.
Charlotte, N. C„ June t-A story
that is creating no and ot stir and
excitement in the state has Jim leak¬
ed out to the effect that at Uur Wilkes
county Republican convention this
week, held mt night, a pistol was fired
and that it was aimed at no low «
personage than Hon. E. Spencer
Blackburn, whose friend. Judge Adame
who waa recently elected state chair¬
man of the Republican party, and
whose election temporarily by some,
Is claimed to be a victory lor Mr.
Blackburn.
The bearer of the story declares that
he was on the spot and that at flrst,
it was said nobody had fired a shot,
and (hen that it was accidental, and
finally that It was generally conced¬
ed jhat It was fired at Mr. Blackburn
htmseir. It must be taken for what
It Is worth. It comes from a Demo¬
cratic source, and in commenting, the
same source declares that there ap¬
pear to be reasons why Blackburn out
of the way would be satisfactory to
his opponents, flrst, because he has
outside the straight organization won
out against his enemies at every deal,
and second, because be has been over¬
anxious for a place in the limelights.

Character.
Blsbee, Arlx, June 6.—A telephone
meeeage waa received here Monday
m*ht from Csnanea to the effect that
the town la atiU under control of ths
Mexican military authorities.
Mexican troops and hi rales have
continued to arrive until General Tor.
re* and Colonel Koeterlftaaky now
have sufficient force to control any
outbreak that might occur. So far
there has been no disposition shown
on the part of the Mexican miners to
return to work, and the smelting plant
of the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company and the mikes are working
short-handed.
The hank* and stores were opened
for business after remaining dosed
since Friday.
That"the outbreak Ot Friday was of
a revolutionary character was prov

circular, copies ot which bad been
distributed among the Mexican mi¬
ners:''' • -..-s.
"Mexican Workmen: A government
