Hot! Yes, but it ? s good weath
er for corn. So cheer up.
Error is a great deal worse than
ignorance. It is better to know
nothing than to know what isn’t
true.
The Referendum prohibition bill
was defeated in the Louisiana leg
islature yesterday by a vote of 14
to 20.
Don’t be afraid of overdoing the
cultivation of the corn crop. When
there is a lull in other work, if the
stalks are not so high that there is
danger of knocking them overrun
the plow through the field once
more.
The state senate has the convict
question up and the fight against
the lease system is pitchei. This
is a knotty question, as we see it,
if the slate does not release them
and undertakes to work them her
self on roads or other public im
provements, extra funds must be
raised to support and maintain
them. In order to get these funds
the people must pay it by a tax
levy. Then the question is, can
we afford to work ihem.
The Georgia legislature met
Wednesday with our representa
tive Senator J. It. Brock of the
44th and Hon. Lee Pope, represen
tative of the county at their posts
of duty.
Organization was perfected early
in the day. New member's, who
have been elected since the ad
journment last year to fill out the
terms of different deceased mem
bers were installed in both houses.
The senate elected by a unanimous
vote, Hon. J. .1. Flynt, of Spalding,
president of that body to fill the
vacancy caueed by the death of
the late John W. Akin.
The Governors message was then
read to the senate body and is
termed an able document. He
began his message by again com
mending to their consideration the
recommendations not yet acted
‘upon which he, presented on his
inauguration twelve months ago.
FUR RE-ELECTION.
We announce in this issue of
The Times the name of Sam J*
Hale as a candidate for re-election
to the office of Tax Assessor. Mr.
Hale has served in this office sev
eral terms and has at ail times
given satisfaction in administering
the duties of the office, lie has
raised the assessable property of
the county to an equitable valua
tion and property is now assessed
more its true value than ever be
fore in the history of the county.
Mr. Hale has been a very obliging
official in assessing property. In
stead of making appointments lor
the property holders to meet him
at the different towns and places
in the county and return then
property he lights out afoot and
goes to the diiterent homes and to
the holds, store houses or where?
ever else necessary to go to find
them. In this way ho covers the
entire county several times during
the year and has never yet put
any man to the trouble of leaving
liis home to return liis property
for taxas. it is predicted that
Mr. Hale will be elected next time
without -op i osakm.

CLINES TO ENDORSE TOM
WATSON FOR V. PRESIDENT
The state convention met in the
Grand Opera house in Atlanta
Tuesday morning at about 10
o’clock and adjourned after sess on
of about three hours, having car
ried out its program without a
single hitch.
There were about 2,0C0 dele
gates from different parts of the
state together with about 1.000
spectators formed the great crowd.
Retiring chairman A. L. Miller
called the convention to order and
without preliminary he announced
the first business bet ore the con
vention, the nomination and elec
tion of a temporary chairman.
Col. Charles R. Pendleton editor
of the Macon Telegraph was nomi
nated and elected temporary chair
man and retired Mr. Miller, who
turned the gavel over and vacated
the stand.
Organization was perfected ac
cording to arrangements and Hon.
Joseph M. Brown was unanimously
nominated as the democratic can
didate for governor. He was
placed in nomination by Judge
Twiggs of Chatham county in a
strong and eloquent spepch. The
nomination was seconded by at
least “half dozen prominent Geor-
Rian?. J
DELEGATES SELECTED.
The delegates from the state-at
large and the alternates were then
selected to represent the state af
the National Democratic conven
tion in Denver. They are called
the big four and alternates as fol
lows :
Delegntes-nt-large, B. W. Mel
drim, A. 11. Cox, W. S, West and
T. W. Loyless.
Alternates, Gordon Lee, H G.
Fisher, G. M. Bell, M. A. Griggs.
The question of instructing these
delegates was not brought be r ore
the convention, therefore the dele
gation goes uninstructed.
Two delegates from each Con
gressional district, making twenty
two in all were elected to the Den
ver convention.
The presidential electors from
the state-at-large were E. T. Wil
liams of Fulton, and Frank Baf
ford of Emanuel. There was also
one presidential elector and an
alternate selected from each con
gressional district. W. P Spplace
of Spaulding, and J. M. Long of
Gonion were named from the sev
enth district.
A resolution was submitted ask
ing the convention to endorse T.
E. Watson tor the vice presiden
tial nomination by the democrats
at Denver. Many members of the
gathering were in favor of doing
this but the resolution was downed
when it came to a vote.
A platform endorsing prohibi
tion and the disfranchisement law
was unanimously adopted bv h<
convention without a dissenting
voice. But prohibition and dis
fianch'.sement is notali there is in
the platform. Read it.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform follows in full:
“The democratic party of Geor
gia, in convention assembled, here
by ordains and adop s the follow
ing outline of its principles and
policies:
“We declare that the time has
come when all our people should
unite in sympathetic accord and
co-operative endeavor to secure
again employment at fui wages to
those of our fellow-eibzer.s who
are unwillingly idle, or on shoit
time and whose f'aniilns are de
prived of the comforts of life. Ni
conn fry can prosper who'-e veoman
at the workshops or in the field
does not find work to do, and a
uli c onr) ngation for that work
ITt- greaf ft field for endeavor in
statecraft is to protect the interest
ot the toiling masses. No king or
potentate ever had a nobler im
pulse than to unlock ihe coffers of
the rich and feed the poor by giv
ing opportunity for, and protection
to, investors in the larger enter
prises which call for skilled labor,
and for brawn and muscle. We
believe with Jefferson in a wise and
frugal government which shall
restrain men fiom injuring on
another, shall leave th m other
wise free to regulate their own pur
suits of industry and improvement
and shall not take from the mouth
of labor tlie 1 read it has earhe
Th is is the sum of good govern
ment and this is neces ary to clo e
the circle of our felicities.
TREATMENT OF CAPITA!..
‘‘We pledge not only to citizens
of this state but to citizens of oth
er states, that all capital invested
in legitimate enterprises n Geor
gia, whether foreign or domestic,
corporate or piivate, shall have
the equal protection of the laws
and the equal friendly considera
tion ct those who administer the
laws.
“We believe in tne strict control
and firm regulation of all public
utility corporations, recogn zing
that such corporations, within
their proper spheres, are a positi\e
good and an essential force in the
development of our country. We
favor prescribing such freight and
passenger rates as will be just to
the corporation and to the travel
ing and shipping public, and such
rules as will gi\e to shippers expe
ditious and safe trail spot tat ion and
quick adjustment of all claims for
overcharge, damage and demur
rage, and to passengers regular
schedules, coinfo table coaches,
com nodions, well lighted and (in
winter) well heated waiting rooms
with the necessaries for comfort.
To further insure the accompli h
ments of the above aims we favor
the requirement that the common
carriers shall maintain their road
beds in safe condition, and shall
provide such warehouses and other
terminal and way station faeilit te
as the expanding commerce of our
state demands. Such pubi c util
ity corporations as are purely local
in their operations should he left
to the control of the municipalities
in which they are located,
“We favor a return to the con
stitutional representative system,
or county unit plan, uI representa
tion in our state conventions, with
its safeguarding checks and bal
ances.
We favor a return to the pay
ment in one sum of Confederate
pensions.
We favor the reduction of taxa
tion as quickly and to j s great an
extent as can he made practicable.
We favor the proper support ot
all public institutions.
We favor as liberal appropria
tions for the common schools as
the pub ic finances will al ow and
prompt payment of the teacher*.
.We favor the establishment ot a
department of labor.
We favor such legislation as will
foster the agricultural, mercantile
and manufacturing industries of
the state.
We favor the strict enforcement
of the law against lobbying.
The successful candidate for
governor having by Ids public ut
terances removed the pi oil lot ion
question from the field of legisla
tion for the next gubernatorial
term, we should therefore discour-
age by all leg timate nmans an)
effort to repeal, emasculate or
weaken the prese.ru law, and favor
ts honest and strict enforcement
We are opposed to i nnecHssrn
offices which levy additional tuxi-s
on the people; and we ask the leg
islature to scan carefully
pay roll to the end that all sine
cures be cut off. We especiallv
favor a reduction in the member
ship of the rai road commission
from five to three, and tlie abolish
ment of the office ut the special
attorney to the same.
\Ve favor t lie holding ol wli it.

ination of candidate for governor,

libers v*bo are c! osen 1-y tie* 1
ular vouGof' the at which t Im
only qualificath ns for the privi
lege of participating hermit e
from being white electors shall be
the same as are prescribed by the
laws governing general elections
all persons voting thereat, there
by obligating themselves to sup
port the nominees of such primary
and we direct that the state Dem
ocratic executive committee shall
not call any such primary prior to
the month of August, and until
after the adjournment of the legis
' lature.
UNDESIKAIUJ3 IMMI RATION.
We pledge ourselves to discour
age undesirable immigration by all
legal methods.
We favor such constitutional
restrictions on suffrage as shall pro
tect the bailot from the vernal and
corrupt. Confidently relying upon
the ratification of the proposed
franchise amendment next (X t -h r.
we pledge ourselves to the strict
and impartial enforcement of the
sa me.
Recognizing that the cardinal
principal in the enforcement of
our criminal laws is the punish
ment of crime, the reformation of
the offender and the protection of
society, we pledge ourselves to such
changes in our convict system as
will completely eliminate any
traffic in convict labor, and as far
as possible place the state’s con
victs upon public works.
With an abiding faith in the
virtue of our people and in a glori
ous future for our commonwealth,
we call upon all Georgians to unite
in a common ffbrt to re- *st;.b i-h
confidence, to restore prosperity,
to forget factional differences and
to cultivate peace and good will
among all men.”
