CANDLER rddressed the People o f Franklin Yesterday. TENDERED NN OVATION. Ringing Words From tho O d Commoner on the War. Barnesville Ga., July 7. —Hon. Alien D. Candle’- spoke to an im tneiiße mdience here in the court hiuee t< day. Became to the oounty not a» a candidate for goVn • ’nor, but to meet hi» lifelong friendi and to spend a day with them. It was estimated that half his •ud'.enca were Populists. Duri ig the speech Col. Caudler waa frequently cheered by Popu lists and Democrats alike. The very best feeling prevailed. As soon as he appeared on the streets a Rn-at crowd of his old friends, composed of members of both par ties, gathered to meet him and pay the great rerpect they have always felt for him. In speaking of the war, Colonel Candler said : ”1 have stood with you all in fu’iit ot battle and would that we c.uld stand together now. Today We again stand in the midst of **r Ou r soldiers are now fight ing unuer a tropical sun. And is a large Party in this coun try favorable to coi quest, a party "liieh would reach out to the ends °f the earth to add conquest after conquest to our preset t terri* *”ry. jhey do this in the face the the tact that such a course would be to overturn * ur whole govern me ital policy. I 8 8rsw with on this though Ido not sgree with • everywhere . I agree with Wil- liam J. Bryan that we must not depart from the old landmarks. W<- must not break the old ship of state away from her ancient moor ings Why? Because when we ex 'end our territory, we must main t in an immense standing army, and niv friends, who supports this standing army? “The great masses of tbe peo ple. It wdl bring renewed burdens. It will entail greater taxation, and harder times. Now, it is an abso lute necessity that we stand to githertomeet the enemy when the war is closed, and an attempt is made to threat upon,us this new territorial extension idea. There are Democrats wno favor this new doctrine, and we must begin now to meet this heresy. When the war is ended, and that will not be in the dis'ant future, this question must be settled, our peopl», the masses, must win, “Let us stand to meet oir great eaemy, t e Republican party. This war tax is already falling heavily upon us, and I fear that the scenes of reconstruction will again be enacted unless we can lay aside our differences at home and prepare to defeat these new ideas. We all claim to be Jef fersonian Democrats. I claim to bi such. Why cannot we agree, th-n? We are honest in our con victions Let us come together and stand as one man as we did in the years following 1865. “This is not a year of national elections, and wa ought to begin tc prepare for the trials which must come after this war is clos ed ” Referring to ths reduction of taxeq Col. Candler said : “If elected governor, as I b«- lieve I shall be, I cannot say to you that I will reduce taxes, be cause you know that the governor cannot alone do this. But I wish to say that he can wield an influ ence in that direction. If the people should, by some accident, send up a legislature which shou d attempt to raise taxation. I prom ise you that I can use tbe veto .power, and that I will do it.” FREE PILLS. Send your address to H. E Bucklen & Co . Chicago and g«t a free sample box of Dr. King’s New- Life Pills.

I was in a delicate condition and was sick at my stomach and constipated. I tried remedies highly recommended for female weaknesses, but the medicines brought on other troubles. 1 was so weak I could not attend to my household duties, and I then determined to try Hood's Sar saparilla. After I had taken this medicine a short time I began to gain strength. I Crew Stronger Each Dry, until I was able to work ail day without any inconvenience. 1 have taken Hood’s Pilis for constipation, and I am better to day than I have been for five years. Since taking Hood’n Sarsaparilla and Hood’s Pills I feel rested in the morning. 1 am less nervous and ain sure I have richer and purer blood.
