AY right, in presenting the gubernatorial candidate to his magnificent audience. It was re ceived by the vast audience with several outbursts of applause and with evident approval. Colonel Wright’s speech follows: “Ladies and my fellow citizens: Standing here on this auspicious occasion surrounded by as brave, true and patriotic people as in habit this earth, I feel, first of all, I would be recreant to them were I to fail to denounce as a slander and a falsehood an editorial which ap peared in the Atlanta (’(institution of this date. “The truth, my friends, is this: Some days since some of the sup porters of the lion. Moke Smith in this county determined to under take an organization of the county in the interest of his candidacy for governor, and accordingly some lists were placed in the hands of some of his supporters in various sections of the county with a view of securing signatures and hun dreds have been secured. The men in whose hands these lists were placed were not hired, and did not undertake the work for money, or the hope thereof. No money was paid or promised them, and indeed they would have spurn ed it. They are among the best of our citizenship and have mater ially aided in the upbuilding of our state and county, and some of them have illustrated our stale on the battlefield in defense of the grandest cause for which any sol dier ever buckled on his armor, or raised his sword, and one of these men who led one of the most gal lant regiments which ever left Georgia during the civil war, to day bears on his face, and right in front, a sear indicted by a Yankee bullet. “This government was designed to be by the people and for the people. “The very first paragraph of the bill of rights of the constitution of our own state declares that: ‘All government, of right, originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole,’ and that ‘public officers are the trustees and servants of the people, L.

Hoke Smith is the worst abused public man that Georgia has had in a long time; but this is always the case when a man makes a vig orous fight ag'ainst ring politics.

The Bulloch Times says that section is being flooded with How ell negro circulars, which are sent by express deadhead under “Frank No. 1536,” and these circulars are j being distributed by Estill forces. 1 The conclusion is obvious—that there is a pooling of issues—all to gether to defeat Smith, no matter who the successful man be.—Dub lin Times. It is the poor man who carries his honest share of the burdens of government and he alone. His littie property is visible and is gen erally assessed for all it is worth, and he must pay the rate, or do business with the sheriff. The rich escape doing their full duty to the State and their fellow-citi zens in this affair of taxes, and they do it because of the general hypocrisy and cowardice with which the General Assembly al ways deals with any measure to secure honest returns of property for taxation.—Atlanta News.

"It Is Irue of many flowers, l’unsies, for instance, last twice as long If they are not combined with any other flow er, and the same may be said of vio lets. Jonquils and daffodils, on the other hand, seem to get u new lease of life If you combine considerable green with them. Carnations will go ail to pieces If you combine them with roses, allhough the roses do not seem to be affected. “It Is more striking In combinations of green with flowers. If you try to use an entirely different type of fo liage from wbat the flower Is used to. It won’t last so long. Ho 1 never put feathery foliage with lilies of the val ley. for you know its natural foliage Is u thick leaf. -1 never use thick leuves with carnations, for their foliage Is of the feathery type.

I'm dreaming tonight as I ait alone Of the days of the past— ()f my childhood home. 1 see the dear old homestead as it stood, And hear the gentle signing Of the pine trees in the wood. I see again the river flowing ’iieath the hills, Hear again the joyous niusie. Of the merry rippling nils. The willows, like a lover in liis bliss, Are bending gently o’er The sparkliug waves to kiss. The waters—how they ripple as they run— Tossed by the wind and foaming, Glinting in the summer sou. Tonight I am sighing for the days of yore, As memory brings her golden dreams Back from the far-off shore. Gould I hut find again such perfect rest; Gould 1 tint stop the throbbing In my aching, wearv breast I Gould I from sorrow turn aside awhile Lose all iny cares and licence more A happy care-free child I Could I but wander in the meadows sweet Without a care or might hut, joy To guide my straying foot. But now those happy days are jutst and gone, No sighs or tears can bring them bnck, They live in memory alone. —Ruth Foster.
