AND THE
Last Word About My Campaign
DO IN THE LEGISLATURE.
The pjissage of a bill to increase the
compensation of Justices of the Peace
and Bailiffs.
A bill to increase the per diem of
Grand and Traverse Jurors passed with
local application;
A bib to increase the pay of Justice
Court Jurors.
A bill to increase the fees of (Jierk
Superior Court in sutall counties.
The passage of a bill; to abolish coun-.
ty treasurer.
Assisted Mr. Palm our in getting a
bill' through changing the alternate road
With Mr. Langford, succeeded‘ingot*
tingf a bill through repealing portions
of the law in regard to District Justico
Court Houses. The old Taw only au
thorized an expenditure of $160.00 fur
the. building and furnishing each court
house. The new law allows Commis
sioners to build, furnish and maintain
Justice ‘Court, Houses, the amount ex
pended to be left in the discretion of
the proper authorities.
This bill wen through the house witn-
out a dissenting vote, and had only
three dissenting votes /in the Senate.
I also took part in all of the Vug bills
and'never failed to vote on any of
them and was called on to get them
sported out of the committees. My
influence was solicited on both sides of
all’important matters, for which I am
justly proud.
Respectfully yours,
I. F. DUNCAN.

To the Voters of the Northeastern Circuit:
The campaign of each candidate for Judge of the Superior Court
ia on the eve of a close and 1. desire to say that my friends, and sup
porters, as well as myself, have conducted our campaign upon the*
highest plane possible. We have ( gone to the people in an open and law providing for four Jays work in
fair manner. I know of - no instance where any political trickery stead of eight,
or unfair advantage has been resorted to in my behalf, and.
frankly, I know of none participated in by any of my opponents.
The race has been a friendly one, especially as far as I am concerned.
I have done, my best to put my candidacy before the people upon
the principles for which I stand, in a dignified manner, 'and I com
fidently believe that I will win in this race from the many expres
sions I have received from the voters of the wi’cuit, both in person
and by letters.
' Judge Jojies, at the end of the present term, will have .a record
of twelve years before you" as your Judge which speaks for itself.
My friend, Mr. H.. H. Perry, has, to some extent told you through
the press of the circuit the principles for which he stands; my young
friend, Mr. 1. H. Sutton, has never, so far as ,I know, made any
published announcement of the-principles for which he stands.
I have made an aggressive campaign, more so than any of my op
ponents, both in the newspapers of the circuit and by personal solici
tation, either by myself, njy two sons, or by. friends and supporters,
and I want to state candidly that while each of the four candidates *
will receive more or less votes in this election, yet I know from reli
able; information gathered from every militia district in the 24,000
square miles embraced in the Northeastern Circuit, that. I am the
leading candidate in opposition to Judge Jones, the present Judge*
and regardless of how any individual may .vote, the returns- of the
election will bear me out. The race is,squarely between Judge Jones
and myself.. ■ •
It is but a fair-argument, and -one that will meet, with .the.-mmd
of every voter, that by reason of -the fact that Inin a dose face with
Judge Jones four years ago foT the Judgeship,, I art*not only known
throughout the'circuit but have a, following of friends and; support
ers that are squarely behind inf in this race,- and to •which! have,
added hundreds'of others, and-any one who will investigate the
towns and rural sections throughout, the circuit will readily arrive at
the conclusion that-I am the leading candidate for the Judgeship,
against Judge/Jones. Let rio voter impress you to believe other
wise for as sure as the election day arrives you will find out Ifefteg-
when it is too late. I.t is pnly 6n the part of some to have you believe;
otherwise and thereby divide the opposition.
‘ Every voter should ask himself or herself whether you desire
to endorse and vote for Judge Jones for an additional four years,
giving him 16 years as yoiti* Judge, if so, that .is each voter’s privi
lege. If not, then to whom will you turn? Naturally you will vote
for the strongest man to make the change. The'question is before
you, the voters of the* circuit, and if you desire to make a change,
as I confidently expect ydn to do, I know from my long experience
at the bar and the further fact that I made a good race before.* an
endorsement by the people, I am entitled to-your vote and consid
eration. / V , '■ ’ ~
.• t. i- ' ' 1
In conclusion I wish to'thailk-each and every persfrin who has
aided me in this campaign and assure them that I deeply appreciate-
,their .suppprt. Tours very truly, .

Ancient Women Had’"Rights.”
In an ancient Mabylon province
there have been discovered records on

of about 2400 B, C., showing that a

been established in a suburb of the
city called Burna. arid that, women

Safety Match Swedish Invention.
The"safety, match was the invention
of a Swedish manufacturer named
Lundstrum. It litis been on the market
since.1855. Its bead contains no phps-
phorus, but holds a mixture of which
chlorate of potash usually forms a
part. The striking surface, on' the
side of the box, is formed by a com
pound of red phosphorus and sand,
The' safety match is , manufactured
chiefly in Sweden, Norway and Jpan.

Insisted upon having a lock of my
hair, but I, having none to spare, and

Why Rich Men Want 1 More.
The reason a rich man is never sat*
afled with the size of his fortune la
not necessarily, because, he has ac
quired a kirid of hog instinct, but rath
er because his knowledge of affairs
and his breadth of vision have grown
ont.il he sees bigger and bigger things
that he wishes to do; and his ambition
to accomplish Is always a few leads
ahead of his capital. The richest men
In the world are usually the heaviest
borrowers, because they are in a po
sition to see. the most to: be done.
Hence any man setting out' to get rich
might as well recognize at the begin-,
ning, that frpm, the very nature of
things, be can nqver hope,t<±feel that
he has enorigh.-rFred Kqiliy in The

H. H. Perry Is to Be the juage.
More arid more;—as the election draws near—the people all 0Vfct ,
the circuit are deciding that duty to their country and childrc| de-
mauds that they should select the ablest man in the race l or Judge.
They know H. H. Perry and his record. They know he will make
a good safe and able Judge and they do not know as much about an
other contestant for Judge Jones’ place. The only objection urged. t* 0
Mr; Perry is the claim that he is not capable of doing the work. This
is false. All.who know him know him to be a hard worker—who has
never neglected any duty or done shoddy work. However, we are
not .looking for a man to chop wood,'but for a man of mature ex
perience to be Judge. The people will not give up a certainty for an
uncertainty and they are uniting on Mr. Perry as the safest to trust.
They are tired-of all this nonsense about with is the strongest man to
beat Judge Jones and will make short work of all personal eontro-
versies by thinking solely of what is best for the circuit.
Mr. Perry’s record in th£ Georgia Legislature when sent there by Hail
County shows him to' be faithful, efficient and progressive. Promi
nent ihen have publicly declared time and again that Mr. Perry has
accomplished more in constructive legislation in Georgia than any
man in public life since the civil war.
He was the originator of the constitutional limit of 5 mills in State
taxation. He; wrote and fought through in the Senate the Tax on
Corporation franchises which has; in the years since brought millions
into the treasury of . the State and the Counties. He introduced and
had passed the bill establishing the 12 Agricultural Colleges in the
Congressional Districts of Georgia, with free tuition for farmers’ sons
and daughters. He introduced and had passed the bill creating the
Court of Appeals which has meant so much to the State. He intro
duced the first bill to abolish free passes on the railroads. He was ac
tive and prominent in the^measure abolishing the convict lease system
and puttiug the convicts on the public roads; in providing for taxa
tion for county schools; in enlarging the pensions for confederate vet
erans and their widows and pther.important measures. He first in
troduced the bill reorganizing the Railroad Commission as it now-
stands and enlarging its powers.
The people will not-turn down a true' and tried'public servant for
one not yet tried or proven.' They will not miss the opportunity to
get a Judge who will reflect credit in the. circuit—who will enforce
the law impartially without fear or favor, maintain the dignity of
the court, and make Northeast Georgia a still greater country than it
is. . ■
l He makes no attack on an^ other candidate but runs on his own
merits and he will have the solid support of the intelligent and law-
abiding citizens. The law breakers are lined lip to a. man against
him. On which side do you belong?
