The Sixty-fourth Congress has passed into history, and the time to say whether the Con gressman has kept lvis agreement is hard at hand. This information is readily to he ascertained from the record. And who isn’t familiar with Congress man Park’s record? Written in its pages are achievements worthy to crown the labor-of-iiny man. This record, in fact, is so complete, and the Congressman’s district has so prospered under his representation, that his opponents, being destitute of applicable arguments, have been driven to the extremity of complain ing that the Congressman was devot ing his time to the sinnllcr matter.- of the district to’ the deteriment o' matters of national interest. Rut the Congressman has been true and faithful to. his promise, ns aT men know. He has lived up to the letter and the spirit of his contract lie has earned his reward. It is true tl’gt the campaign luu taken an evil turn. Criticism of tin Congressman’s record has evoked re taliatory criticism of his opponent’! record, and the thrust and the conn ter thrust arc staining the blades ol tile duelists. Rut. wo are not concerned with that. No good can come out of it Even though his oponent be magnetic, brilliant,' energetic and- lovable, .we maintain, out of all- fairness, what has been said above. The fighter ha- won his fight, and now it is for hit people to say "whether he shall re ceive his reward.—-Bainbridge Dem ocrat. Approve Congress man Park’s Record The people of the Second District have now hoard Congressman Park's record discussed from one .end, of the district to the other, and a large majority of them, according to the best information to be had from sour ces that, have* herofbforo proven to lie reliable, are satisfied with it and will vote to send hint buck to Con gress. Fulfills His Obligations To The People In his determination to do hit duty and fulfill his obligations tc the people of his district and to hit government, Judge Park is settin; a good example for public officials, who often neglec t their duties it order to look'after . personal inter ests’. • • Judge Park is well known to the people of this district, ns he hat served them for years, and they know him to be a gentleman, { good citizen, and a man of- honor. Frank Park WQuld never knowingly sacrifice the interests of his people for personal gain. We all know that. And his ability to serve this d'strict has beef! proven. Frank Park has done as much in Congress as any man who ever served Geor gia, everything being equal in other respects. A Congressman who votes on the right side of bills, and who is watchful in the interests of the people when bad bills arc up, is serving his people well. Congressman Park was chosen 1 ist session to serve on the great Committee on Ronds, and assisted in framing and securing the passage of the good roads bill which was signed by the President last week, giving Georgia over §2,000,000 of Federal Government money to as sist in building better roads which will provide better transportation facilities for fanners and increase land values in the rural districts.

The Judge camp in promptly Friday afternoon and wits, very prominently ■icon on the streets shaking bunds vith his friends and reminding theta' if his speech-on the Saturday fol lowing, which he was anxious foi hem all to hear, lie spent tin tight with Itis friend, Mr. R.

In othei words, he inferred that it was umiee- tssnry, possibly, to move this negro ind let others walk about our front loors in tlie ciyi.1 service, that negro" labor was the-labor we had, whiel irobnbly Mr. Cox thinks;, or he wouh hnnge. his negro driver to a whitr nan, which we infer he likes best.

He also rips the Judge’s brother up and would put shackles on his dir ty legs, “if he would only get off of his belly and fight by putting charges ia writing.” The Judge is a nice speaker without a doubt, mul has a nice subject, the Congressman’s rec ord, to talk about, but *.e is on the wrong side of the subject.

Before the inrgest political crowc’ of tho year, Congressman Front Park addressed the people of Bnin- bridge and. the surrounding terri- , bry Wednesday night in the city oark. After the band had finished lavc-ral beautiful pieces, and Hon. A. B. Conger had introduced thr guest of tho evening, Judge Park spoke for an hour and a half, net n defense of his record, but in cx- llunution of the work of the 6411 congress. He spoke of the bill which lie was heartily supporting to have returned to the people of the South the $70,000,000 which had been il legally taken from them by the old cotton tax. If this hill, he, said could he gotten throhgh. the com mittee rooms, lie believed that it would pass, nnd that if. it did hi would be willing to render tip hi: stat in congress and return bin 1 ’elling that he had done his full ;luty by his people.

Ho ex- plninrd the proposed Rural Pen siori Bill, showing how he desired that this money be not turned over to “doubtful states”, hut that tlie §45,000 saved by the combin ing of the rural rputes he returned to the Second District. He stated that, the canal project had been suggested by a government engi neer. The war department had previously determined to dig canal in Florida which would con nect the Gulf of Mexico with* the Atlantic Ocean, at a cost of §27,- ,100,000. His bill, which had re ceived the warm indorsement ol persons high in authority, would answer the same purpose and cost only §6,000,000. The canal, the Congressman stated was not in tended to bo navigated by ocear. .iners, as some people had thought, iut freight would be transported in barges. Tito. Congressman explained the Fedorni Reserve Act, the repealed Stamp Act, the Income Tax, which would .place the burden of the Pre paredness Program “Upon wealth and not upon want.” lie said the Merchant Marine wai- “the star in the East” for agricul tural interests. As to the franking privilege about which so many crit icisms have been offered, he stated that he had never employed its uses without Jjrst submitting the muter to be mailed to the second pQsmaster general, who . had •. always given * his approval.
