The Sandersville Heral $1.00 PER YEAR. SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, APRIL, 17 1908. VOLUME LXVIII. No. 2 HRS. MACK DUGGAN GOES TO GREAT BEYOND. 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.

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.

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.
