COULD NAME NONE
WEAKER THAN TAFT.
Eclipse on June 28th.
Between 9 o’clock and midday
on June 28th next, the tricky old
moon will once again repeat her
old stunt of occasionally butting
in between us and the sun and for
several minutes Sandersville will
be wrapped in twilight.
This, one of the most notable
annular eclipses, as it is called,
of recent times, promises to be for
America at least the principal as
tronomical event of the year.
The phenomenon will be visible
in the United States, Canada,
Central America. At Tampa, Fla,
the darkness will lie little short of
total and in Sandersville the sun
will look like a narrow ring of
silver light about the dark lace of
the intruding.moon. It is in fact
from this resemblance to a r.ng
that the eclipse is called annular.
Astronomers all over the coun
try are preparing to observe the
sun under the most favorable cir
cumstances and from 10 o’clock
to 12 thousands of telescopes will
be pointing skyward. Get your
smoked glasses ready.
County Registrars Busy.
The county registrars have been
usv for t he past ten days revising
me registration list for the elec
tion for clerk, which was held
yesterday. The registrars deserve
a lot of credit for revising the
voting list is by no means an
easy task.
Says Ch’m’n Conners. He’d
Rather Nominate John*
son Than Bryan.
New York, June 22.—W. J.
Conners of Buffalo, chairman of
the state democratic committee,
who was in New York today, slid
to several newspaper men that lie
believed Mr. Taft would he an
easy candidate for the democrats
to defeat. “There were several
stronger men who might have been
nominated,” said Mr. Conners,
“but none weaker. His only
qualification for the ollice is that
Roosevelt wanted him.”
“Sherman? Oh, well, I’d rather
say nothing about Sherman. Ev
erybody knows about him.”
“Isn’t, the nomination of Bryan
as certain as was that of Taft?”
Conners was asked.
“I won’t believe, it until 1 see
it,” he declared. “There are other
democrats who can defeat Taft
beyond a doubt.”
“Who—Johnson?”
“To a certainty.”
“Well, if the New York delega
tion sees that Bryan’s nomination
is a certainty, will it fall into
line?”
“We’ll wait until we get to the
convention.”
“Will the platform he radical?”
“Yes, to a certain extent.”
“Will it contain a court plank?”
“I’d rather have it contain none
than the one that was put into
the republican platform. That
means nothing.”
“Labor will cut a strong figure
in the election, will it not?”
“It always does,” said Mr.
Connors.

Mr. Joe L. Hood Dead.
Mr. Joe Jj. Hood died at his
home near Pringle last Thursday
night of paralysis, attqr an illness
of only r a short while. Ho was a
brother of Mr. Robt. Hood of
Sandersville and was in his 45th
year. The funeral was conducted
by Rev. J. A. Mobley at Pleasant
liill church in the presence of a
large concourse of friends and
relatives.
Boston. June 20.—A side light
on what women wear in their hair
when it cornea to dressing it a la
mode for the “Merry Widow” hat,
came out when the steamer Seneca,
from China, steamed into port.
In the cargo was a lot of Chinese
pigtails. It was consigned to a
Boston hair dealer, who will use
it in making “rats” and switches
and puffs.
According to tho steamer of
ficials, the importation of human
lmir from China is a thriving in
dustry. No good Chinese will
part with his pigtail in life, but
when he is dead it is different.
He usually has a good supply, and
his relatives will let it go cheap.
Hair from dead people does not
make up into lino switches, but it
will do in the cheaper grade.
There is nothing better than
the heavy, course, strong, straight
hair or the Chinese, dead or alive,
for stylish puffs and rats. It
never loses its shape, it stands all
sorts of knocking about and as long
as the girl does not know what she
is wearing there is no trouble.
An Enjoyvable Occasion.
The barbecue nt Brooks Springs
last. Thursday was one of the most
enjoyable events yet held at that
p quilnr resort.
A large crowd of people from
Sandersville went out for tho day

praise of the occasion.
Mr. George Doolittle, who has
charge of the springs knows how
to make you enjoy yourself.
