JUSTICE. “You can Build Your Capitols to Reach the Skies, but Unless They are .Built on Justice the Pulse of a Woman can Beat Them Down.” Sometimes a man is the victim of injustice, and. sometimes a principle of right is the victim and when the man is the champion of justice and that man is maltreated then are the rights of citizenship trampled in the dust and justice is defiled. 7he great American people Lave ever been ready to remedy wrongs which if persisted in would sap the rights of the citizen. Whoever that citizen might be, cither day labored or capitalist, he is entitled to the same show.ng as is given any man who stands against him. whether it be in the courts of the country, on the hustings or before the party com mittees. The most flagrant viola tion of this right of the citizen was during the last congressional rave in this district when T. J. Hall of Mont gomery was a candidate against Col. A. A. Wiley who then encumbered the Congressional chair from this dis trict. Then was perpetrated on the said T. J. Hall a species of injus tice contrary to the ideas of even any misconstruction of right and fairness. It will be remembered that when the time came to qualify, Hall was de tained at his home bv a sick child and next -day when he offered the necessary money it was refused on the plea that he was one day late and consequently barred. Now mark the gress injustice of the act: Hall w r as not allowed to put up his money ‘and qualify for the race on the plea by the chairman of the Congressional Committee that he was one day late yet it is claimed and with apparently splendid grounds for the claim that Col. Wiley never put up his money into the hands of the committee but paid it out by his own personal checks in time to meet the different payments when they fell due. Why not haver allowed Mr. Hall to pay in his assessment when he was one day late and for an excuse that should appeal to any man? Was this justice? Was this in accord with the spirit in which the primary law was framed? Was it in accord with those principles of jus tice and fair dealing so dear to the heart of every American citizen? Was it in accord with the democratic party law which promises to every man in the party an equal footing w r ith any man? Was it in accord with those grand and eternal princi ples of justice which teach us that injustice to one of the people is in justice to all of them? Hon. T. J. Hall in the race against Col. A. A. Wiley made a most phe nomenal run, the people writing his name on the ballot to such an extent that it is believed that had his name been printed on the ticket he would have defeated Wiley. Here in Butler we had no election as Col. Wiley failed to remit enough money to pay election expenses. Such proceedings are entirely opposed to democratic usage and any sense of justice and puts Hall in the light of an Alabama citizen who has been grossly discrim inated against. In cases such as this there is only one recourse for the people and that is for Hull at the next Congressional election to again oome before the people with every minute requirement of the commit tee fulfilled and try a fair, square race with Col. Wiley, with no handi caps. That Hall will be a candidate is an assured fact and that he is the logical candidate under existing con ditions admits of no doubt. Mr. Hall has made a splendid record in the past and in a fair, square congres sional race with Col. Wiley with the memory of the people still fresh on recent events there is no doubt what soever that Mr. Wiley will receive full justice in 'the stinging rebuke of a merited defeat.—Greenville Living Truth. THE AIM OF LIFE. W e live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. And he whose heart beats quickest, lives the longest. Lives in one hour more than in years do some Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips along their veins. Life is but a means unto an end; that end, Beginning, mean, and end of all things—God. The dead have all the glory of the world. —Philip James Bailey (Festus.) PETITION FOR CHARTER. STATE OF GEORGIA—County of Fulton. yq To the Superior Court of said County: The petition of Thomas E.
