THJC ROME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY DECEMBER 30. 1897.
FAVORABLECOMMENT
Capt. Thompson Hiles Candidacy Ap
proved By All Classes ol Citizens.
HANY CALL TO EXPRESS APPROVAL
Fitness and Ability of Capt. Hllr* For
» the Place I* Recognized—What
Capt. Seay Has to Say.
The announcement made yesterday
that Capt. Thompson Hiles would prob
ably be in the race for the mayoralty
created the most favorable comment all
over Rome.
North, east, south and west and in all
the wards the candidacy of Capt. Hiles
was approved by citizens.
Many prominent citizens called on
Capt. Hiles, and assuied of their warm
support for the office. They all seemed
to think that he was the very best man
upon whom all interests, factions and
voters could unite.
Some of the gentlemen who have been
urging Capt. Hiles to enter the race, and
who circulated freely among people of
all classes in all parts of the city said
last night that they had heard much
favorable comment from sources they
had not expected. In fact, there seem
ed as far as they could learn an almost
unanimous sentiment in favor of harmon
izing on some good man like Capt. Hiles.
All recognize the fitness and ability
of Capt. Hiles for the office. It is cer
tain that his many friends and sup
porters will rally in such numbers
that he will, if he runs, be as surely
elected as the sun shines,
CAPT. SEAY DON’T KNOW.
Capt. John J. Seay returned from
Brunswick on a delayed Southern
train yesterday about 11 o’clock. A
Tribune reporter saw him about
noon in the office of Judge Joel Bran
ham and asked him whether he would
make the race for mayor at the elec
tion to be held in March.
He replied that he did not know
what he would do. He preferred not
to be interviewed as he had not seen
his friends. He did not care to make
a statement one way, or the other.
Judge Branham's name has been
mentioned in connection with the
mayor’s office, but he will not run.

Day of Reckoning.
The first recorder’s court in several
days was he’d yesterday morning, with
Recorder Eubanks presiding.

were in the deepest, throes of remorse,
and the inquisition came as the last bitter
dregs of a misspent holiday.
The cases were as follows:
Anderson Jones, colored, drunk $5.
Sallie Walsh, colored, drunk and dis
orderly, $2.50.
Steel Brown and John Taylor, two
pickannies were fined $2 each for fight

CAPT. J. J. SEAY BETUBNB.
Delightful Visit to Brunswick—Was Roy
ally Entertain d.
Capt. J. J. Seay .returned yesterday
from a delightful trip to Brunswick. He
was royally treated while in the city by
the sea.
He visited the big ship “Wenning
Hall’’while in Brunswick. It is being
loaded with 11,500 bales of cotton for
English ports. The jovial captain of the
ship gave a big dining on board at which
Capt. Seay was a guest of honor. One
of the remarkable things about tbe
“Wenning Hall’’is that it has a crew
of sailors of ten different nationalities.
Among them are Lascars, Chinese, Por
tugese, Scotchmen, Nautchmen, Cey
lonese, etc. They were taken on while
the ship was at the island of Ceylon for
a cargo of tea and coffee. The captain
says they canuot talk to one another,
and he has been hoping they would de
sert, but they are determined to stay
with him until he takes them back to
Ceylon. Capt. Seay says the Lascars are
most the treacherous and “evil-eyed’’
fellows he ever looked at.
While away Capt. Seay, also, hob
nobbed with the residents of the million
aire resort, Jekyl Island. He tells some
interesting stories about the pheasants
and other game of the island. It seems
the summers are too hot for the pbeas
ants to thrive. Every fall the million
aires buy 4,000 pheasants trapped in the
up country, and turn them lore on the
island to shoot at their pleasure.

SAMSON AND DELILAH.
Robert Downing Will Present a New Flay.
In the Biblical story of “Samson and
Delilah’’ which Mr. Downing will play
here next Monday at the opera house Is
a play which makes Delilah a loving
woman.
Through her it is true, Samson is
shorn of his hair and strength, but she
protects his aged father, she obtains
from Lameoh the promise that Samson’s
life shall be respected, she fights against
the strongest appeals to her patriotism
until extreme pressure is brought to
bear; at the moment when’her blandish,
ments have wrested tbe secret of his
great strength, which is in his hair,
fromhis lips, the spectator is led to be
lieve that she might not have revealed
it, were it rot that tbe craft of a
Philistine had led to another woman’s
presence and cognizance.
After the deed is done she spurns re
ward of gold and jewels and declares
her remorse and when Samson is
blinded and put in the the dungeon she
forswears her country and its gods and
denounces its King and people. Re
served seats at Trevitts.
