Noble Christian Woman
Yields to Death last
Wednesday Night.
HUMAN
PROVERBIALLY FICKLE.
But Watson Thinks Gov.
Smith's Especially Bad
For a Big Man.
MR. MORRIS IIAPP DIED
IN MACON MONDAY.
It, is not given to man to know
the mystery of Providence und
death, bnt the Christian finds new
courage and greater hope some
times as b<5 watches the patient
suffering of one whom all agree
that he or she was a consistent
ami faithful follower of the Mas
ter and perhaps, after all, the
death of such an one. is a better
] 089O n than could be taught by ex
hortation or parable or sermon,
but yet, the sorrow that death
brings is none the less a bitter
blow, and when such a one iseall-
e d into a higher life, we cannot
help but think that it would have
been better that hor life lie spared
yet a little while to bring more
happiness and sunshine taa world
of sorrow and that there is greater
need of such characters to live
than to die.
r pijo mvstery deepens and the
doubts multiply when the heart
is torn by grief, but to her there
was no doubt and no fear. Her
friends agree ; hat she was willing
to leave it to One who according
to lu r belief and trust Kloeth all
things well, ’ willing to leave her
destiny and the destiny of those
About whom her heart strings
clung and for whom she had work
ed and prayed and lived to that
Master with whom she believed
she would live forever and who
had the power to do what all her
love could never accomp.ish.
It was such a character and such
a Christian that yielded to death
when on Wednesday night Mrs.
Mack Duggan breathed her last
in this city, a woman whose life
was a bleaiing and a benediction
to her loved ones and her friends
Her death followed a lingering
illness of many days, during which
time there were quit" as many
earnest inquiries and le'-e * that
the end would not come e. were
ever expressed for any one by
friends.
Mrs. Duggan leaves a husband
and several children to mourn her
sail death besides her father and
mother, Judge pud Mrs. P. K.
Taliaferro, two brothers and two
sisters.
She was a member of the bap
tist church in this city, a loyal
Christian and a perfect character
in so far as a/ human heart can at
tain perfection here. That’s the
inline she ldmves her loved ones.
From hejr hands and words in
life she sca/ttered sunshine, help
and good cheer and il all the good
deeds and Encouraging words connl
ho changed! today into buds and
each laid about her grave there
would be {a mound of the choicest
llowers under which she would
sleep her sweet sleep.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist church yesterday
afternoon at 8.80 by Rev. A.
Former Resident of this
City and a Prominent
Citizen.

The human memory is, prover
bially. a flickle jade; but we have
seldom seen her play such shabby
tricks with a great man as she has
recently done with Governor
Hoke Smith.
Ah, what a time he did have
forgetting, remembering, denying
and explaining, on that, matter of
the use of “light wines and beer.”
If anybody but a governor
had gut himself so mixed up
on that subject an uncharitable
and wicked world would have
said that he had been indulging
in too much of both the tipples
which he recommended.
But the latest trick played up
on the governor by his capricious
memory i* on that mutter of the
early primary. His campaign in
1906 resounded with denunciations
of the political wireworkers who
manipulated things in the interest
of those who are in office by tak
ing snap judgment at* an early
primary. So late as November IT.
1907, Governor Smith was hotly
denouncing this favorite maneu
ver of the wirepulling / ringsters.
The Jeffersonian, astonished at
the governor’s change upon this
matter, as upon several others,
made the point on him, and en
deavored to find out why it was
that the governor had joined the
ringsters and was now favoring
the early primary.
In his Wuycross speech the gov
ernor (who seems to spend most
of his time nwav from his office
and post of duty) declared that
he had never denounced a primary
called so late as June.
It was the April primary that
lloke Smith, the candidate for
office, objected to—not one on the
4th of Juno
So?
Let us do lloke Smith no injus
tice. Let us refer to the record
and refresh our memories as to
what he did snv. Clearly, he
himself bus forgotten.
Turning to the speech he made
at McRae only five months ago,
we find Governor Smith using t his
identical language:
“There are men now running
for the legislature, when tin* first
session of the legislature, undei
existing laws at which they ex
pected to serve? will not meet
until the summer of 1909.
“1 am opposed to electing leg
islators tor the session of 1909
until the session of 1908 is over.”
Those were his words in his
speech of November 17. 1907.
Nothing said about April; noth
ing about. May; nothing about
June. He announced a principle
—a sound principle—that candi
dates for the legislature ought not
to bo elected in a primary called
before the session of 1908 is oyer.
In other words, the people
should not be asked to choose the
men for the legislature of 1909
until the legislature of 1908 is
over. The reason is obvious; tin-
people should know how their
members have conducted them-
Ivus dunna thou* (list t<*inis in
.office before being called upon to
give them a second teim.
To re-elect members before their
term of service has been complet
ed is in practical effect to gi\e
them a four-year term instead of
it two-year term. And, of course,
this kind of system violates the
constitution.
When members are elected on
June 4, 1908, to serve in the leg
Mature of 1909T, the very thing
which Governor Smith said he was
opposed to will have been done.
1 Therefore, in favoring the early
| primary of June 4, it must be ap-
MIDDLE CIRCUIT IS
STRONG FOR BROWN.
Smith Has no Chance Ex-
cept Possibly in Two
Counties.
Friends and acquaintances of
Mr. Morris Happ will learn with
regret of his death in Macon last
Monday.
Mr. Happ had retired from
business several years ago, but
wns actively interested in the
growth and developemt of Macon
and had served as Alderman of
that city, and had hundreds of
friends there and throughout the
state.
Mr. Happ was reared in San-
dersville being the son of the la
mented P. Happ for many years
engaged in business here and was
several years a member of the firm
with his father.
The deceased was the father of
Mr. Lee Happ and had several
other children all well known
in Sandersville.
The funeral services were con
ducted in Savannah Tuesday.
THREE NEGRO FIGHTS
IN COUNTY RECENILY.
One Resulted in Death
Near Oconee. Three
Others Shot.
PRICES
A difficulty at a sawmill Inst
week between a negro named
Roberson and another named
Green, resulted in the death ,of
the latter. He was struck with
a scantling.
lVte Massey wns shot near San-
dersville last Sunday, Lucius Sol
omon being charged with the
shooting. |
Henry Clayton and Henry Wi'-
liams both colored were wounded
bv pistol shots also last Sunday
near the city.
Details are lacking as to all
these difficulties.
A gentleman who has traveled
a good deal in the counties com
posing the Middle Circuit declares
that with the possible exception
of two counties, in which Brown
has a most excellent showing and
in which the Brown sentiment is
steadily growing, Governor Smith
hns lost out already and Brown
will be elected by large majorities.
AH reports agree that Brown is
gaining steadily and rapidly in
Middle Georgia, the only section
in Georgia in which there wns
hope that the Governor might
hold his strength.
Published polls of votes in the
Middle Circuit show a similar
condition.
Members of Union
Criticise Commission.
There is some criticism in. this
section by members of the Farm
ers Union of the secret order of
the Georgia Railroad granting
the priviledge to railroads of issu
ing free passes to the chairman iff
the immigration society of Geor
gia, thus aiding in the bringing of
foreign immigrants to this state.
It is well known that the Farm
ers Union is opposed to foreign
immigration and they had not
thought that these passes were is
sued. However, it is stated
that the commission had full
authority to grant this priviledge
and that there is nothing in the
law to prevent, the commission
granting the priviledge if it so
desires.

Sylvania Herald Says
Brown Will Win.
The Sylvania Herald is of the
opinion that Joe Brown will carry
Scriven county by a large majority
The county gave Governor Smith
a heavy vote in the former race,
but this time the Sylvania Her
aid thinks there i.- no doubt but
that conditions will be reversed
and that Little Joe will win out
by as lurge a majority as Smith
received before.
GOODMAN'S
RUBY FLOURl
parent to all that Governor Smith
has gone back on what lie said
during the campaign of 1906, and
in his speech of November, 1907.
The question is: Why has Gov
ernor Smith changed his position
so materially on such a very im
portant matter? Another question
is: Why did he, at Waycross, for
get that ho had opposed the early
primary on the principle that it
was wrong to choose Vlegislators
for the session of 1909” before
“the session of 1908 is over.’’
The governor five months ag®
said he was opposed to this. Now
he is not opposed to it.
He even forgets that he said he
was opposed to it.
Alas!—the fickleness of human
memory.—Watson’s Jeffersonian.
It is in the Highest Class and in
a Class all alone.
More of it is sold in Sandersville §
than all other brands combined. I
buy it by the carload.
