Sept. 90. ? The Democratic : State Convention here to-day endorsed the administration Of Prentdmt Wil son iii fact* of a light made by Tom Wat Hon ; formally nominated Hugh M. Oorsey as Governor; named three judges of the Court of Appoals out of a 'fleldoef fourteen, and approved the balance of a Stale ticket voted upon at the primary two weeks ago. The convention failed to nominate a candidate for the Supremo Court va cancy catiued by the death of Justico Lumpkin. Thomas E. Watson, of Thouuiou, Ga. a l>orsey supporter, had expressed ?h? ! position through* his publications to endorsement of the national adminis tration arid circulars credited! to him were distributed ,to condition dele Kates urging that no action t>e taken on such au endorsement, . The Court of Appeals judgeship tight was one of the principal features of Se convention. Judge W. F. George, Vienna; Hoscoe Luke, of Thomas ville, aiid W. F, Jenkins of Eatonton, were named. O. LL P. llloodworth, who led the ticket before the people, with 174 convention votes on the first ballot today, aud Alex Stephens, of Atlanta, second tunn in the race, failed to land a place. The platform was not adopted uu tll -afte**?J>orsey had been nominated, Porsey in accepting remarked: "I re gret that the Georgia delegation in the upper (halls of Congress have not given President Wilson the eooi>ern tiori and supiHirt that he deserveo." In endorsing President/ Wilson the resolution reads : ^?The Importance of this unqualified endorsement is emphasized i)V the fact that for the first tl\ne in many years the opinwdtion has struck a key note <bt sectional animosity, and Is making an appeal to sectional preju dice unworthy of the spirit of national fraternity." Another paragraph reads; ''We de plore ami condemn the ..tendency to outside interference with such au thority of the State, as by law, cus Jtftm ,knd tradition iielong to the' State (and especially 'do we condemn as dan gerous and threatening to the liber ties of the cltbscns any usurptlon of authority that \yould take from the fflyifldlctibn of the laws within the Statue for trial under any other Juris diction* * * any citizen of this or any ^ther State. ?uch a policy Is un amerlcau and. inquisitorial and k sub versive of n fundamental constitution al -.right guaranteed to every citizen of .the ; Jppited..Btateas^ Some such resolution, it had been said, would be adopted with reference! to an intention credited to the At torney General of the United States to seek to indict and try in some State other than Georgia, Thomas E. Wat son, of Thomson. Ga., for alleged vio lations of postal laws in connection With articles apearing in his publica tion. Watson has twice tteen indict ed 1n Federal courts' in Georgia on simllat charges. The first iddictment was quashed. The second case result ed in a mistrial. Another plank in the platform adopted endorses the Neil I -County unit measure passed by both houses and vetoed by the Governor and "we In struct the new executive committee to call all primary elections under its terms." Under the Neill system run-ofTs would be provided in cases that may arise similar to that of the Court of Appeals race. A visitorlal l?oard to care for de pendents and defectives Is urged in another plank of the platform. Death of Mrs. NM& ..._ Mrs: Essie Neat,- who was Miss Es sie Spears, daughterof Mr. and Mrs. T.

Inasmuch that the Kattbath question held the attention of Mr, Haynea laat week ; showing from the Bible that the Christian Sabbath la the same day aa the Sabbath' of the Old Testa me lit, yet lie considers it but fair to investi gate the claim# maintained by the ehureli that the New Testament re veala another day aa tfhe Sabbath, oth er than' the Sabbath of the ^Decalogue Sunday night; therefore, Mr. Haynea will consider the eight text* that apeak of the first day of the week. It woul<l seem that unless Sunday aaeredness can be proved from theae text* the doctrine must remain without any Scriptural foundation. - Understanding from the Scriptures however that some law met its com plete fulfillment at the cross and pass led away, it becomes of vitaHmpert anoe to settle which oneit was, and at. i the same time to realise that the Gos pel is in no wise antagonistic to the Law of God. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be devoted to this phrase of the question. On Friday night a new question will be taken up. #Tfte Hook of Revela tion, believed to be a closed book, will be goifcsldered.
