While the Honolulu papers
I speak well of tho conduct of our

other countries. Underneath the
map is the inscription “Xmas,
1898,” so that the date of the

poets: “We hold a vaster empire
han h as been.”

ing every expense that is kinfable,
showing partiality to none. The

Having been a barefoot school
boy, an old field school teacher,
a Confederate soldier, a maimed
Confederate veteran and a tax
payer of the state, Gov. Candler
knows by experience, the trials
and difficulties of all. His mes
sage to the legislature on yes
terday proves beyond cavil that
the grand old commoner and
man of destiny,is the right man
in the right place at the right
