SKETCH OF ONE OF GEOR
GIA’S CANDIDATES FOli
GOVERNOR.
A Prominent Politician of Middle
Georgia—His Strength Before
the Farmers on the Stamp
—A Striking Figure
From the Augusta Chronicle.]
W hen the present candidates for
governor of Georgia begin to tear
away the brush and cross lots to get
down among the people they may be
able to write a book, just as Stanley
did—“ How I Found Livingston.”
Livingston is already moving among
the people, and in his quiet, effective
way has been lining so for several
months. He is a pronounced candi
date us Governor Gordon’s successor,
and there are a good many reasons
why he is going to run well.
The newspapers do not mention him
much. There are frequent references
to the eloquence of dußignon, the
strength of Northern, the prospects
of Tom Hardeman and the possibili
ties of other statesmen; but Living
ston seems to be content with a pretty
fair swing with the rank and file of
the people, and when the returns
come in, like they did for Joe Brown
in 1859, tlie friends of Col. Living
ston say the papers will be pretty apt
to mention him,
‘‘Did you ever see a man who knows so
perfectly how to talk to the people ?”
Newt Reggie, who attended the Colum
bia county cue the other day, asked this
question when telling about the speeches.
■‘There may be better orators and more
finished men, but that man Livingston is
one of the best posted men 1 ever saw.”
This is a fact. Hon L. F. Livingston,
of Newton, knows a thing or two. He
hasn't been in polities these years for noth
ing.
Last year the Farmers’ Alliance gave
out that they were going to elect the next
governor of Georgia. It looks now like
they might do that very thing-
Two of the strongest candidates in the
field are W J. Northern and the Covington
statesman. They will divide the farming
strength, and it is not yet known who will
lead. But the ovation given Col. Living
ston in Columbia last Wednesday, to be
followed, I understand, by a rousing alii
ance meeting in Burke next month, lias
drawn public attention to him in this part
of the state
I remember the first time I ever saw Col.
L. F. Livingston. It was in the great Col
quitt convention in Atlanta during August,
1880- He was there as a Colquitt delegate.
Having already served one or two terms in
the Legislature, he was recognized as n
very shrewd politician He was constantly
moving about among the delegates, and 1
then got my first idea of what a "whip in
the house of commons must he. The con
test for the nomination was very close.
The Colquitt side was accused of being
willing to sacrifice their party for their can
didate, when some Lester man, to put them
on record or to test the question, introdu
ced the following resolution:
“Resolved, That the convention ot the
Democratic party in Georgia believes it to
be of the first importance that a nomination
for governor be made.”
This was a poser. The Colquitt majority
could not afford to vote it down. If they
voted for it, the minority would immediate
ly offer some of their compromise men,
and urge the selection of a dark horse It
was a hot potato, like the one that Eugene
Frye tried to put down Conkling’s throat
in the Chicago convention.
The Colquitt men were thrown into a
hurried caucus The minority were chuck
ling and clamoring for ‘ question." Final
ly a tall, slim figure, about the size of
Puck’s picture of “Brother Johnathan,”
was seen coming down the aisle. He had
in his hand a slip of paper.
The chairman (Trammell) recognized
“Livingston, of Newton.” He said :
“Mr. President, 1 wish to amend the res
olution by adding to the statement ol the
importance of making a nomination, the
words :
“Bat the opposition of an obstreperous
minority prevents such action by this con
vention"
At once a shout went up. The minority
wanted to withdraw the whole resolution,
but it was the property of the House, and
the majority, amid cheers, adopted it with
Livingston’s "rider," and then appealed to
the people.
L. F. Livingston came from an old fam
ily that has been living in Middle Georgia
for three-quarters of a century. His fath
er. a good, staunch man, who I believe is
now living, used to haul his cotton to Au
gusta fifty years ago, and the boy, now can
didate for governor, would come along with
the wagon—long before the Georgia rad
road was built. He has been a farmer all
his life, but has represented Newton county
two or three times in the House and the
Twenty-seventh district in the Senate. This
was McDaniel’s old district, from which he
went to the governorship, and afterward,
H. H. Garlton, who represented it, went to
Congress.
The people there firmly believe that who
ever represents that district is bound to go
up higher-
Col. Livingston has been a conspicuous
advocate of cotton bagging. He is presi
dent of the Georgia alliance, and last April
whet. I met him in Atlanta he had a piece
of cotton thread, talking to Oliver Porter
and Sam Inman, two well known cotton
gpipners, ami was even then weaving a
shroud for the bagging trust. He is a man
of Strong native ability rather than schol
arly attainments, with a ready use o. yig
orous language; keeps up on public mat
ters, and wants nothing better than a square
lick at railroad monopolies, national banks
jute combines and such unrighteousness.
!His a power before the people. J re-
I member very well tailing to it piominent
Covington eili/,en about the lime of the
Harrison investigation in Atlanta, when
Col. Livingston and several Others were
accused of lobbying He said that New
lon county would give Col. L. anything he
wanted at any time, and in some local con
test, then going on, he believed it Ur. Eel
ton and Livingston would mats speeches,
the contest would lie decided in Col. Liv
ingston's favor.
Three years ago I attended the centen
nial of Uetlianj’ church, in (Irocno county.
It was during the meeting of the presbytery
of Augusta Dr Woodrow being arraign
ed. This was the first time 1 knew whnt
Co] Livingston's religion was - lie living, I
believe, a Presbyterian Elder. Next year
he attended a meeting o( the general as-!
sembly at Louisville, Ky., and made a
mcrrutrahlc appeal for the union of the
Northern and Southern wings of the church -
and protested against “wnving the bloody
tdiirt in the pulpit," deprecating tlie attack :
of Dr. Smoot upon the North, and begged
the Presbyterians to follow the load of bus- -
iness men. ''Business men,’ said he, "are j
hard-headed and sensible and the church i
needs some of their sense.”
He lias a quaint, sledge-hammer way of
patting tilings that is effective with the
people Above all, he has that matchless
quality, good temper, without which mi
politician can be strong before the people
or entirely effective in statecraft. P. A. S.

Covington defeated Centre Grove

Mrs. John M. Gibbs, one of the
best ladies in Georgia, aunt of Mr.

pleasant Social Circle home last week
long enough to spend a day or two
with dear ones in Covington. Her
little grand-son, Edward, came with
her and both were in the best of hu
mor and health.
On Monday last, July 15. the fol
lowing letters remained uncalled for
in the post office at Covington, Geor
gia : In calling for any of these
letters say to the Postmaster that they
have been advertised in the Enterprise
and have one cent ready to pay for

A country mule, that looked old
enough to vote, and having the repu
tation of never allowing any one to
i ride him, paid tiiis city a visit Friday.
It was suggested that nobody in town
could ride bis niuleship, and if so
$2,50 would be paid to the individual
accomplishing the feat. A daring
Covington man, by hard work and
assistance, got a bridle and saddle on
the mule, thgn mounted and the fun
began in the presence of two or three
spectators, each of whom kept both
eyes Open in order to keep from being
run over or kicked into the middle of
next week, but the young man re
mained in the saddle, while the mule
run side-ways, jumped, bucked, fell
down and cut all kind of shines and
capers. From the Star building to
Shepherd’s store this mule that could
not be rode, was rode, nevertheless.
Bring in another mule that can’t be
‘rid,’ and see if somebody here don’t
ride him anyhow.
DEATH’S SAD ROLL.
Mr. Wm. Cook departed this life at
his home near Brick Store on Friday
last. Age 45 years, lie was a noble
man and one of our liest citizent. He
was kind, generous and charitable and
will be sadly missed by all who knew
him. He leaves a family, many rel
atives and hosts of friends to lament
his departure and mourn his loss.
A DUTY TO YOITtSBi.F.
It is surprising that people will use a
common, ordinary pill when they can se
euro a valuable English one for the same
money. Dr. Aker's English pills are a
positive cure for sick-headaclie and all liver
troubles. They are small, sweet, easily
taken and do not gripe. For sale by Dr
,l. A. Wright tojan.l
WHY 18 IT
That people linger along always com
plaining about that continual tired
feeling ? One bottle of Boggs’ Blood
Purifier and Blood Maker will entire
ly remove this feeling, give them a
good appetite and regulate digestion.
