Here's a New Way
To Capture Votes.
, A new aspirant for council, seeking in- 1

given an illustration today of the best |
political speech ever made in Atlanta by I
a wise old politician at the city hall.
During the city campaign last year the i
candidates were all out to address a mass |
I meeting in the farther end of the Fifth
ward, a section where a man gets all
or none of the votes, for the citizens
stand together All of them bad ap
pealed io the voters in the same vein:
they had either been born in the Fifth
ward, bad lived in the Fifth ward, or bad
married in the Fifth ward. and. according
ly. were presenting themselves as true
Fifth warders.
They seemed to be enjoying about equal i
favor until George Johnson, candidate l
for recorder, declared that be bad spent ■
all bls life in the Fifth ward and bad I
become familiar with every Inch of it run
ning over it as a barefoot boy. He took
the meeting by storm.
Walter Taylor, who was making a hard
fißlil for city clerk, bad been sitting in
silence Each new cheer had been forcing
him into deeper dejection. lie had no
connection with the. fifth ward and there
was nothing he had done for it to whig!
he could point. Then be was called to
follow Mr. Johnson with a speech.
"Gentlemen.” he began. "I nor any of
my people have ever lived in the Fifth
ward 1 have never given you any paved
streets or school bouses or anything of
the kind But I want you to under
stand that I am just about as barefooted
as Mr Johnson was when he used t<
run over this ward, and I want yout

WASHINGTON July 29.—Judge
Robert W. Archbald's formal reply to

most of the facts set forth in the im
| peachment charges, but he places an
[entirely different construction on them
than that imposed by his accusers. He
maintains that none of the charges set
forth constitutes an impeachable of
fense. and offers In each instance his
own reasons and excuses In explana
tion of the circumstances in the charges.
To each article the respondent says
■ in general:
"That the said article does not set
forth anything which. If true, consti
tutes an impeachable offense or a high
crime or misdemeanor as defined in the
constitution of the United States, and,
therefore, the senate, sitting as a court
of impeachment, should not further en
tertain the charge contained In said ar
ticle.”
Senator Gallinger presided at today's
session. All pleadings must be before
the senate by August 3. upon which day
the senate will determine when the trial
shall begin.

FACE TO FACE
How many of the firms that you deal
with do you know personally?
Don't you feel a little keener pleasure
in doing business with folks yon know?
Isn't it that way at home? You have
some old tried and true friend who has
been trading with the store ever since you
were a boy; how glad you are to occasion
ally see his face, and press his warm hand.
It’s that way all along the line. Our
membership in the aggregate has‘many
thousands of customers.
One of the benefits of these semi-annual
meetings in Atlanta is to renew old friend
ships and make new ones.
The Convention and the Fixposition
would (*ither be well worth the trip.
Many, however, will come to lay in their
Fall supplies: there is promise of a fair
crop, and cotton will bring a good price.
The Atlanta Merchants and Manufac
turers expect to put forth unusual efforts
to show the many advantages Atlanta
offers as a market.
Many will have exceptional offerings to
meet the demand of those looking for
bargains.
But whether .von have any trading to do
or not. Atlanta wants to know von—wants
von Io see and know the articles she
makes, and the splendid storks she car
ries.
