HARDWICK. German success, according to the German starlegists, depends upon a quick march to Paris. The armies of tip) Kaiser must sweep down upon the French capital within three or four weeks at most or the necessity of protecting their own capital from the slowly but surely oncoming hordes of Russians will force their with drawal from Franco. What bus been and la happening In Belgium represents the activity of hut ono column of the** German ad vance. Another column aeeme to have driven the French, who had entered Alsace, back to their own chain of fortifications. The real test will be at the French border. The burden of holding back the German advance there must be borne by the French alone, since Eng land’s assistance upon land cannot be very great ©oa fe Edik WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE PLUNGE IS ENDED?

It is the red and black flag bearing a Prussian eagle in the center which was borne into battle by the First Lower Alsatia Infantry Reg iment No. 132 of the German army when it came into action at Salnte Blaise, also known as Salnte Marie The more critical your taste the <7 more you’ll a PP reciate Judge Nash R. Broyles Answers Alex. W. Stephens’ False and Slanderous Card * TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA:— In an&wer to A ex W. Stephens' 111-tempered and abusive card I have thie reply to make: I would not have mentioned his name had he not by himself and his paid agents, slandered me all over Georgia, 1 stood this un til "forebearance ceased to be a virtue." I have thrown no "mud" In my campaign—l have simply told the plain, unvarnished TRUTH about Alex W.’s record as a lawyer, and from his loud outcries. It would seem In his case that "the truth hurts." Every statement In the circular, that he denounces ss a lie, Is TRUE, and he and every other lawyer In Atlanta knows It. Mr. Stephens charges that the names of two dead men are forged to this circular. He refers to Hon. J. D. Kilpatrick and Gov. J. M. Terrell. It Is true that these two distinguished Georgians are now dead—but two years ago they were alive, and they both signed the article, a copy of which Mr. Stephens now says is a lie! This Is a sample of Mr. Stephens’ fair (?) cam paign methods' Mr. Stephens, after begging In vain for the support of his home law yers and home people, now turn on th em a stream of abuse and vilification and denounces them, for campaign purposes, before the people of Georgia. "It’s an 111 bird that befouls its own n estl" The people of Georgia will not be deceived by such political methods—they know that the best Judges of a man’s character and abilities are his home people, his neighbors and dally associates. The people of Georgia realise that the trouble with Mr. Stephens Is a bad case of "sour grapes,” and a sad case of demagogy! They will not put a lawyer on the Court of Appeals who has been defeated In hla own county for Justice of the Peace, for the Legislature, and for every other of fice to which he has aspired. While Mr. Stephens denounces this circular as a lie, he does not deny that a few yeads ago he did Indorse a NEGRO politician for admission to the Atlanta Bar. He would deny this If he could, but hit Indorsement Is of record, and he dare not do so. On December 2, 1914, he Indorsed the application of a NEGRO named Foster B. Pettle and recommended that he be admitted to practice law In the Courts of Georgia. Mr. Stephens cannot escape the consequences of tills Indorsement, namely: that tHIa NEGRO as a lawyer would have the, right to sit with the white lawyers In the Court House and to cross-question white witnesses, perhaps white women! What a spec tacle for the people of Georgia Tha old Alexander Hamilton Stephana would never have Indorsed a NEGRO'S application to becoma a lawyer. By the way. Mr. Alex W. Stephens claims to be the nephew of the great Stephana. I am reliably Informed that he Is one -half of a great nephew only—about at close kin as a third or fourth coueln. This circular that Mr .Stephens la now denouncing ae a lie la simply a copy of that part of the article referring to hie record ae a lawyer pre pared by Hon. J. D. Kilpatrick, Hon. Chat. T. Hopkins and hundreds of other prominent lawyers and cltlxena of Atlanta, two years ago, whan Mr. Stephens was running against Judge P endleton, and published In all of the Atlanta papers. Why didn’t Mr. Stephana denounce It a* a lie then? He dared not—because he knew that tha people of Atlanta knew It was trua! Now he la deliberately attempting to deceive the people of Georgia by badly and unblushlngly denying the truth! He la trying to ride Into office on hit name alone, and because he It fortunate enough to be distantly related to a great Georgian long alnee departed from this life. He It frantically try. lng to divert attention from hit record as a lawyer, at a chronic and unsuc cessful office-seeker, and at a NEGRO indorter. But he will not eueceed The candidate now before the people le the living Alex W. Stephens, of At lenta, and not the great and dead Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia. NO he will not succeed, for “Truth It ml ghty and will prevail." Respect fully, NASH R. BROYLES MONDAY, AUGUST 17 NEGRO DROWNED DEE BREDGE BOA! TODAY Workman of A. J. Twiggs & Son Slipped and Fell into the River at Foot of Lincoln St. Will Loyd, of 341 East alley, near Eibley’s alley, a negro hand on the dredge boat of A. J. Twiggs & Son, which is at work on the river bank at the foot of Lincoln street, acci dently fell into the river this morn ing and was drowned. The dredge is doing preliminary work for the levee, which, is built nearly as far down the river as El bert street now, and the negro, it is said, stepped on a board extending across the water and slipped and fell in.

From fright or some other reason he failed to grasp the rod and went down but didn't come up again. It is said he had $5 in his pockets. A search was made for the body and early this afternoon it was re ported that it had not been recovered. OTHERS, YES, BUT— LET’S TRY WATKINS. Aux Mines, and Markirch.
