Good Crowd Heart Goodner
Dr. W. B. Goodner candidate
for representative had a goodly
crowd Monday afternoon in the
district court room. He is a splen-
did speaker and has some fine
ideas, knows how to tell a rich
story, and can hold an audience.
His position on the convict ques-
tion seemed to meet the appro-
val of his hearers,wherein he de-
clared that he would favor wages
being paid for convict work to
those dependent upon him fora
support.
His declaration that he would
not only favor submission but
would vote the prohibition ticket
after submission had carried and
the election proper came on was
loudly applauded. He denounced
as false a report which he said
had in some way unknown to him
been started, that he got on a
drunk while attending the recent
Odd Fellows grand lodge:said he
did not drink whiskey, beer, or
coffee or use tobacco in any form,
and had never been intoxicated
in his life.
He is in favor of so amending
the anti free pass law as to per-
mit newspapers to exchange
space for transportation and al-
low volunteer firemen passes. He
paid the country press a glowing
tribute saying the local paper for
a year was the biggest invest-
ment that could be made with
one dollar. His eulogy on the
volunteer fireman was fine also.
HON. 0. B COLQUITT

Hon.O.B. Colquitt,after speak-
ing in Dublin Wednesday morn-
ing, was conveyed to this city in
an automobile, arriving in time
to meet his appointment at 2 P.
M. Perhaps 250 people, most of
them voters were present, and
close attention was given Mr.
Colquitt for nearly two hours.
Inasmuch as his utterances are

Mr. Colquitt is evidently sincere
in his contention that statewide
prohibition would be a mistake,
and the Empire honors him for
openly declaring himself and in
no wise attempting to straddle.

good in every way as those that have
been costing you higher prices.

“March 28,1910.
I have been greatly troubled
for several days, not knowing
what to do. It is not necessary
for me to state the nature of my
troubles, as it would not be inter-
esting to others.
I do not think I am insane. I
simply do not see any other way
to end this matter. I have never
intended for any one else to suf-
for for my mistakes and I hope
they will not.
I can not seet anything ahead
in this life for me. The trouble
is partly, but not altogether, my
fault. I am sorry indeed for all
the wrongs I have ever done, and
hope to be forgiven here and
hereafter.
I hope my friends will assist
Desmond’s mother in properly
caring for and educating him.
I should like very' much t
know the outcome of the prei
political campaign. I am es
ially interested in Dr. Goo<____
and Dave Deaton, but I suppose
it will all be blank to me.
I hope to meet all my friends
and loved ones, some time and
somewhere. ’ ’

In case of my death, give my

him that John McCarty has one

book which McCarty has is “Bran-
