Editor Atlanta Journal: Dear Sir—Returning from a visit of a fortnight to North Georgia to which 1 went for rest, I have been shown sev- ! oral copies of your paper of recent dates. I regret to note from them that In its attempt to discredit U.e Democratic caiuTldate for governor ct Georgia The Atlanta Journal is in se rious danger of discrediting its i 1ovality to the Democratic party. In my letter of anouncement of candidacy, published March ISth, used tills expression: "I have < fldence in the people.” I have never} wavered in that confidence. I have* confidence in their Intelligence, their Integrity, their love of fair play, their patriotism, and, in a partisan sense, have confidence in the democracy ot a decided majority of them. I may add that if God spares me to have It, my administration n« Georgia's execu tive will be based upon those words: I have confidence in the people.” You ilo not seem to share with me That confidence In them. On the con trary, you seem to think they con stantly need a wet-nurse and much spanking and a strong hand to lead not seem to share their jnnnifesi. confidence in me, .for of the entire citizenry of Georgia yen practically the only one who has seemed to doubt that the democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia fa- tho election of the Democratic nominee for President of the Unite! States. You are practically the only j one who has chosen to propagate tli | tenets of distrust. On the very day that I accepted the Democratic nomination for Gov-jtw ernor of Georgia you sent a reporter to ask me if I was going to vote for Bryan. The question appeared so In herently void of courtesy and common- sense that I did not deem it worthy of a direct answer. As well might you have asked If I, a member of the Baptist church, believed in immer sion. Now, as a matter of fact, you know that no citizen of Georgia, not even yourself, is going to "vote for Bryan.*' Too citizens of Georgia, in November, are going to vote for candidates for electors. Hence It Is for each candi date for elector, not for ine, to answer tho question, “Are you going to vote for Bryan?” Again, you know full well, that tho tate Democratic convention, on June 23rd, nominated me for Govern or. and that same hour and that same convention, nominated thirteen candi dates for electors. Yet you appear to a heavy Llow outside. Tne sailors welcomed the sea voyage after the Melbourne festivities, which taxed the endurance of the officers and men. Despite the unprecedented lavish- ness of the entertniiinit-nt, tho per- sopel of the fleet demonstrated its true American adnptibllity by resuming Its routine without a hitch. The us- •al official calls will be made here. Albany is a small ixirt of only ,10ft Inhabitants, but there will be ten thou- «md visitors here tomorrow.

NEAL RYALS WAS HANGED Baxlety Ga., Sept. 11.—Neal Ryals, a negro, wus legally hanged today for e->sault upon Mrs. Overstreet, an aged lady, last spring.
