The platform adopted by the conven tion is as follows: “We, the Democrats of Georgia, in convention assembled, with peace and prosperity blessing our commonwealth, feel that Divine Providence is smiling upon us. With hope for the future, we congratulate the people of Georgia on present conditions and unparalleled pros perity for the people of our great State. "We extend to the national Demo cratic party our hearty congratulations on the service rendered the country and pledge to it our co-oneration and sup port. Under the leadership of our great and wise President, Woodrow Wilson, we have seen more construc tive legislation originated and enforced to lift the burden from the shoulders of the toiling masses, and at the same time duly protecting the rights of cap ital, than in a century of former Re publican and Democratic administra tions. Wo have seen within the past two years a substantial and effective amendment to the currency law, giving us un elastic currency, with regional banks throughout, the South, making im possible financial panics; we have seen a department of commerce established, with headquarters in the South; we have seen a practical parcel post es tablished, aiding the local merchants and farmers in marketing their crops; we have seen idle money in the Treasury brought to our very doors to move our cotton and grain crops; we have seen provision made by the National Govern ment to enable the farmers of the South to store their cotton, draw money on it, using it and at the same time holding it for better prices. We therefore ask Democrats of Georgiu to extend the right hand of fellowship to the Democracy of the nation. "We realize that while Mexico could have been crushed by us as an eggshell by a trip-hammer, yet diplomacy and justice and mercy are greater than war; and the moral example to the world and to our sister republic to the south of us will live forever and re dound to the glory of our great re public and faithful President, whoso guiding stnr is right, justice and hu manity. At this time, when the world is at war, the course adopted to pre serve peace in Mexico has justified it self by results. "As loyal Democrats of Georgia, with perfect faith, we proclaim to the people of the South that there is no hope for us outside the ranks of mili tant. progressive Democracy. “Our financial condition is most im- jKirtant. and its solution demands the iiest attention and co-ort oration of everv patriotic citizen. The wealth of our State has grown so rapidly that it staggers us with its proportions, and it is growing so faBt in every line of en deavor that we must be careful to meet its expanding needs and condi tions. No expenditures should exceed our income, and, without parsimony to any State institution, we must exer cise the most rigid economy in admin istering its atfairs. "We are glad to say that ‘the paas- the-hat-around system' has been abol ished. Our new tax equalization law, j properly perfected, if it needs it, so as to make public service corporations j bear iheir just proportion of the burden, will accomplish much, and will force j the dishonest tax-dodger to pay his part together with the honest tax- I payer, which will reduce the tBxes of ull the people, we hope, to 24 mills, and even lower, in the near future. Every piece of property and every asset of every person or corporation must and shall bear its just burden of taxation. "We oppose the sale of the Western <V Atlantic railroad, which is a precious legacy handed down to us by our fathers. The lease of this magnificent property expires in 1919, and we urge the Legislature and the next Governor of Georgia to look diligently and care fully to its interest and re lease to the best advantage. "We declare not only for a lower tax rate, but we promise the people as Georgia that the taxpayer shall get of much in protection as he pays out in taxes. Increased protection and lower taxes are the baste principles of our party platform. "We congratulate the State of Gcor-J I gta on the new Hanitary and health and vital statistics laws passed by the last Legislature, as the health of our peo ple is paramount to every other issue, and we urge that these laws be rigidly enforced. "Our great university system is a source of pride to all. and we urge that it be extended along the line of agri cultural teaching. Our common school system is also a source of pride to every Georgian, and we urge that the largest appropriation possible be made to them, and we also earnestly urge that our teachers be bettor paid, and that payment be made promptly. “We congratulate the State on the harmony existing between labor and capital, as we feel that it is cause for congratulation to the Democratic par ty. In the great State of Georgia we should invite capital to invest and al low it to expand to its utmost capac ity, and labor must have its just reward. We pledge the Democ-atic party not only to encourage capital, but to pro tect labor with just arid edequate legis lation. "Our progress in public road build ing in the past lew years has been phenomenal; and the State should co operate with the general Government to get every appropriation possible to continue the work, which will enchance our land beyond computation. We recommend that we have a separate bureau to assist and encourage this de partment, so essential to our State. "The heroes of the 'Lost Cause’ who were glorious in war and renowned in peace are rapidly passing away, but the remaining ones and their wives should be generously provided for. as the debt of gratitude we owe them we will never be able to repay. ‘We will bind them to our hearts and wear them forever. ’ "We hereby declare for a permanent registration of voters, and desire to see this system perfected, if it needs it, as we regard the rights of the ballot and the restrictions thrown about it as ele mental and fundamental to good govern ment, being, in fact, the very founda tion of honest government. "We protest against any further bond issues, unless it becomes a dire necessity, but we are glad to say that the State's finances are in such condi tion that no bond issue is necessary, or even within the range of probability. “No State in the Union has more equitable or better laws or more effi cient courts than the State of Georgia. It is proved beyond question that justice is free and our courts are open at all times to the humblest and poor est citizen. The verdicts of juries and the judgments of courts should be held Haercd and never be overturned, if possible to avoid it. So far as practi cable. technicalties should be abolished and justice, with her strong arm, should hold the balance even. "We call upon all Georgians in this, the greatest era of our prosperity, to assist us in carrying out our pledge to the people. We must not tear down, but build up, every institution and in terest of our great and expanding com monwealth. It is a badge of honor to be a Georgian, and equally so to be a Democrat; and let us all, collectively and individually, put our shoulders to the wheels of progress and make our State even more than ever the 'pride of the nation. ’ "We recommend the adoption of the Torrens land title system."

Warm Springs, Ga., Aug. 29.-The Fourth Congressional Convention met at Warm Springs to-day for the pur pose of nominating a Congressman and transacting such other business as might come before it. Hon. W. C. Adamson, who was elected Congress man in the Democratic primary, was declared the choice of the convention by a rising vote of the delegates, the convention dispensing with the usual form of ballot. A letter from Hon. W. C. Adamson was then read to the con vention in which the Congressman stated bis deep regret in not being able to attend the convention, and outlining hiH reasons. The following gentlemen were named as the executive committee to serve for the next two years: Carroll—W. J. Millican. Chattahoochee -C. N. Howard, jr. Coweta,—!'. G. Farmer, jr. Harris —R. I,. Haldwin. Hoard--Patrick C. Whitaker. Marion—T. B. Rainey. Meriwether -B. R. Freeman. Muscogee—S. II. Baldwin. Talbot—P.*M. Weston. Troun—Frank Harwell. Resolutions indorsing Congressman Adamson’s record in Congress were of fered by Hon. F. P. Longley, of Troup, and were adopted. Il is the little things of life that tell in the long run —the word spoken at the right moment, the sympathy quick ly expressed, and the cordial greeting that "doeth good like medicine."
