At the state convention of the
democratic party of Georgia; held in
Atlanta on Wednesday of last week,
the following platform of principles
and policy was adopted with re
markable unanimity:
“The democracy of Georgia in
convention assembled congratulates
the people upon the reunion of the
white people, of this state in the
democratic party and pledge them
to such au administration of the
state’s afiairs as will afford complete
protection to life, liberty and prop
erty and thfc pursuit qf happiness to
every person within her borders.
We endorse our state administra
tion and commend our chief execu
tive and each of bur state officials
for the capable, faithful and honest
administration of the state’s affairs.
“We favor such legislation as will
require persons, both natural and
artificial, to pay their equal share of
taxes upon every species of their
property in strict accordance with
the constitutional provision relative
to taxation; and an amendment to
'the constitution limiting the rate cf
taxation to the lowest figure consist
ent with the proper maintenance of
the Btate government, the publio in
stitutions, the oause of education
and a liberal and just though not
extravagant pension system.
“We pledge the people of Geor
gia an honest and economical ad
ministration of the affairs of state
and an earnest effort on our part to
reduce the rate of taxation to the
lowest figure possible.
“The best efforis of the party are
hereby pledged to a revision of our
public school laws so as to make the
common school system more effect
ive and more in accord with the ne
cessities of the rural schools through
out the state. •

“We favor the enactment of such
laws as will afford equal and exact
justice to labor and capital alike,
and the administration of those laws
in such a spirit of fairnesb as will
protect and foster the interests
which are already in the state, and
encourage the establishment of new
enterprises, thereby affording larger
and more extended fields of indus
try for our citizens.
“We do not believe the oause
temperance should be made a politi
cal issue in this state. The best in
terests of the state, as well as the
furtherance of that cause, demand
the complete separation of this ques
tion from personal and party poli
tics. We approve the wisdom and
safety of -the non-partisan policy
which characterizes our present leg
islation upon this subject and com
mend the same to the people of the
state,
“We recommend such national
legislation as will confer upon the
interstate commerce commission
power to make just and reasonable
railroad rates and charges on inter
state shipments.
“We cordially commend our Uni
ted States senators and members of
ths house of* representatives in con
gress for their able and patriotic
services, and we especially approve
their course in opposition to trusts
in opposition to a colonial policy
and in opposition to the ship subsi
dy bill. We urge that every article
of commerce controlled by a trust
shall be placed on the free list and
all tariff duties shall be removed
therefrom.
“Believing in the correctness
the principles and policies outlined
above, and with the full assurance
that the candidates presented
this convention to the people
Georgia are in every way worthy of
their confidence and support,
most cordially invite all voters, irre
spective of past party affiliations, to
join us in carrying these principles
and policies into execution and
unanimously electing our nominees.”

For a few miles below Macon
practically all the fish in Ocmulgee
river were killed by poison of some
sort last week. Dead fish were first
noticed on Tuesday, July 1st, and it
is supposed the polluted water from
the city sewers poisoned the fish.
An official investigation was institu
ted, but the report has not yet been
published.

Prove all things. 2Thess, 5:21.
This seems to be a formidable
proposition. Shall we be able to
keep the, commandment? The an
swer to this question is a sense of
impotency. There would be no
discouragement in this, if we
knew the meaning of the words
when I am weak, then am I
strong.” We should remember
always that our natural powers,
and |hei| limitations, are perfect
ly understood, and whatever is
commanded we can do. It is even
declared that the burden is light,
and the oomniandment is not
grievous. According to the text,
each one of Its ftp? himself is to
ascertain the moral quality of all
things, and hold fast that which
is good. Not absolutely all things,
for many thing have no moral
quality; but all things that per
tain to life and godliness. To
say that many things have no
moral quality does not violate any
truth.
Astronomers tell us accurately
when there will be an eclipse of
the sun or moon, and in what
carts of the earth it will be visi-
ole, but to prove this does not
signify that astronomers are mor
ally better than other men who
do not know the starting-point of
their calculations. Purely scien
tific knowledge may be dearly be
yond the purview of the text.
Nevertheless, a man’s’powers and
impressiousjare enlarged by the ac
quisition of all knowledge, and if
these powers shall be dedicated
to usefulness, they become allied
to all tilings that pertain to life
and godliness. Things come near
to other things along here, and to
distinguish between them is diffi
oult, and altogether unimportant.
Filled with wonder and ;admira-
tion we may exclaim with the
psalmist, “The heaven^ declare
the glory of God, and the firma
ment sheweth His handiwork.”
and at the same time we may re
joice that we are not required to
bind the sweet influences of pleia-
des, or loose the bands of Orion.
I have said that many things
may be proven, or not proven
without benefit and without det
riment to religious life. I now
proceed to say, that all created
things, and the laws that govern
them, so relate to God, that
sincere inquirer after truth can
begin at anything and find God
provided he will follow the sug
gestions. By the instinct of wor
ship, which is an inherent attri
bute of man. the Athenians elabo
rated a wonderful mythology,
and erected many altars to their
gods. When they had done these
things, there came from some
where a mysterious and impres
sive suggestion that after all there
is a Being transcendently greater
than Jupiter. In vague recogni
tion of this Being they dedicated
an altar to “The Unknown God.”
The inscription on this altar had
in it the spirit of inquiry, and ail
element of prayer. God answered
it from 'Mars Hill by the mouth
of Paul, and Athens had her day
of opportunity. Opportunity im
plies responsibility. I am not
careful to inquire or to speculate
concerning the adverse influences
by which the people were swayed.
I have been careful to ascertain
that suggestions were supplied
until they refused them. Some
believed. I feel inclined to finish
this sermon with a few other
thoughts concerning opportunities
and suggestions,but if I shal^ have
thoughtful readers, a mere inti
mation of truth will suffice.
How shall we prove all things?
Answering this question I shall
say very briefly what I believe.
To prove things in the sense of-
the text, we must getjinto the
right position. The one right po
sition is on the after side of cor-'
viction and r'lpentance, where the j
light is good. Be ye transformed
by the renewing of your minds I
that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect
will of God. The spirit is to be
quickened as indicated by the
phrase, “If ye then be risen with
Christ.” There are in the quick
ened spirit large and accurate
powers of perception, distinct
from the mental powers, and
sometimes opposed to them. When
the powers of spiritual discern
ment inquire of God concerning
truth, the answer is not withheld
The woman of Samaria was made
to talk a little, but very'soon she
learned m,ore than she ‘‘could
ask or think.”
The sure test by which fill
things are to be proven, is not ea
sily defined in simple words. The
quiokened spirit has experience of
what we call communion with
God. If this communion shall be
disturbed or interrupted, the dis
turbing cause is evil. It may
seem trivial, but verily there is
danger in an effort to justify it,
or make excuse. R.
