The following letter to Chair man A. M. Knight, oF the cniin-. ty Democratic Exe;utiv« Com mittee. from State Chairman M, .1 Yeoman?,i- a stnni «i petti to Democrats to do their full du y on November 8th: - Dawson. Ga., Oct. 20, lt04 My Dear Sir-The president tial election is now clostrnt hand and the Democracy of the nation is .looking to us for the largest majority ever given the party in Georgia. The issues that con front us are more vital than any with whieh we have had to deal since the davs of reconstruction. The South is on trial and the re suit of this election will determ ine whether or not we will pro. ce--tl with the solution of the The Baptist School.. Up. PIEDMONT ASSOCIATION TAKES HOLD OF THE MATTER WITH MUCH VldOR AND ENTHUSIASM problems that confront us or whether we will be Handicapped by Federal interference and race prejudice Intensified ax~ never before. Under the. laws of G ;crgii» electors must receive a majority vote. If the Democrats stay »t home and the populist, republi cans,prohibitionists and socialists go to the polls and vote, the Democratin ticket will not re ceive a majority, aud the tegU>. lature will have to be convened in extraordinary session to choose electors. Let me therefore urge you to put forth every effort In your power to get all the Demo- crats to the polls It mcessary call your executive committee together and arrange for a per sonal canvas* of the Democratic voter*, and at least one n-1 v in yonr county before the election. Every Democrat should vote. We must give Parker and Da vis the largest majority any can didate ever received in Georgia Upon you depends the'result.- Yours sincerely, M J. Yeomans,' — Cbm. St. Ex. Com. The following is an ex;ract from a circular letter recently issued by Col. John W. Bennett, secretary of the Board of-Trus tees of the proposed Baptist school for Waycross, to those who have subscriled for that purpose: "At the last meeting of the Piedmont Bup'.isl. Association, held in Brunswick, Ga , from the 7th to the IO1I1 inst., the Trus tees made a report to said Asso ciation, aud the Association' unanimously teqijested that the work, of building said school proceed, and renewed with con siderable vigor and enthusiasm, their pledge >0 raise the money and to stand by the institution, lam of the opinion that Wo cau now raise the desired amount ” „„„„ It will thus be seen that the p "'* wv matter of bunding the college in Wuycross has again been taken up, and the Herald is informed that, the enterprise will lie rapidly and vigorous y pushed. The most encouraging feature of the new movement is.the fact th't AV. D Upshaw, the won rierfnt fellow who seems to be able to accomplish everything be undertakes, has agreed to take the matter in hand and promises to raise, health and atrength_b£i u.g given him, the amount that may be’lacking over and above the subscriptions already made. It is unnecessary to mention the benefits t ■ be derive 1 from sucb an institution in our midst.
