I®fcJ''or several years Tom anil Ar thur Liver Pills have been sold by us and they always Rive satisfaction. y AN DISKS VI 1.1.a Dltl’O Go. Captain Wiley Williams, of Columbus, chief of police of that city and for many years president of the county officers and police chiefs Association was a distin guished visitor to Sandersville Tuesday. Captain Williams lias many warm friends in this city who gave him a cordial greeting and a hearty welcome. This was the lirs^ visit of Cap tain Williams to the county ami he waR agreeably surprised at the splendid section, though expecting to find one of the best sections in Georgia and especially at the many evidences of progress and growth in Sandersville and Tennille. Captain Williams was in the best of health and spirits and gave some lessons in hearty, sincere handshakes and cordial greetings that won for him many enthusias tic friends. While here ho showed much in terest in looking through the of fice so long occupied by Major Newman whom he had known and admired for years and also greatly appreciated the greetings of his old friends including the officers and those who had served the people in the past. Tuesday evening the Captain dined with some of his friends at the Julidji, hero, several of whom assured linn that lie would not he lacking in earnest workers for him in his race for Prison Com missioner. Captain Williams expressed re gret at not being able to remain away from his duties long eifcugh to visit each of the towns of the county. “I wish very much I could go to Riddleville,” said lie, “because every vote cast, at that precinct was for me before and that time I. had only a few days to make the race and no time to make a canvass.” It will be re called that Capt. Williams lacked only forty-one votes of carrying this county before and never made a visit here./ Those who met him are not sur prised that he gave Col. Eason the race of his life in the former race, though waiting until the last moment to come out and making no canvass. It. is doubtful if any man in Georgia lias so many warm per sonal friends as lias the Columbus candidate. In Columbus, he is known and admired by everybody, having served for twelve years and more as police chief, and the people there believe in him. His record shows that lie has made an ideal chief of police and his long experience will no doubt enable him to servo well the people wf Georgia on the prison commission. Capt. Williams is said to bo one of the strictest commanding offi cers of police in Georgia and at the samo time one of the gentlest and kindest of men, compelling duty by the regard his men have for him more than by any other force and it is perhaps on account of the great respect the mop haye for him as well as Ins own strict attention always to duty that has given him the reputation of being one of the best police chiefs in America. There seems to bo no doubt about Capt. Williams carrying this section of Georgia and he states that the ontiook for his election grows brighter every d-<y and that ho feels sure of success from the many encouraging re ports from every section.
