J. E. WHITE, Kditc* awe PnoPuiiroa
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1899.
Oar a lamas arc so much crowded thi <
week that wo are compelled to pobtpuno
a unumber ot iuleroving articles.
Onr goctl fiiinda, Mr. and Mrs. Si lm
Bseso, of White Oak, paid as a visit thin
weak which we very much enjoyed.
Governor Candler’* Messngo to the
General Assembly !* one of the ablest,
strongest and most sensible public docu
ments in the history of the B ate.
With this issue will be found a hand
some Supplement representing the ur -at
mercantile establishment of J. B. White
ft Cos., of Augusta, and recommend it to
the consideration of our readir*.
Tho member of the pres mt General
Assembly who returns to his constitu
ents without having made at least an
lionet,t effort to reduce the present bur
densome taxation, had butter hide out in
the woods.
Pensions are intended not for tho rich
but for tho destitute and lielpleas; and
the ex-Oonfederate who, having a com
fortable income, clriw* pension money
much of which ho knows it taken from
the scant earning* of the poor, degrades
bis manhood, and disgraces the cause
and tiro flag for whiuli ho fought.
After a rousing welcome and a sword
presentation to Brumby, and a visit to
the State Fair and tho Midway attrac
tions, the Legislature has got down to
business, and is facing sonic very impor
tant matters. Among other measures
which call h r prompt ami energetic ac
tion nru Taxation, the Elcotivo Fran
chise, tho Australiad Ballot, an Auti-
Trust measure, Htatc Prohibition, Ap
propriations for Schools and Pensions,
and n Constitutional Convention, if the
members do their duty they will have
very little time for auylhiug else.
Mr. Tompkins, who has tlio contract
in build the now Cotton Factory, low
contracted with Mr. Filter Knox to build
ten tenement hotiaea on tho Mill prop
erty, anil ho could not hove (elected a
better man. Mr, Knox haa unbounded
industry, energy and koikl judgement,
and tho houses will not only go up
promptly, but tho ooutraot nil Ibo faith
fully and satisfactorily perf or mod.
Several year* ago our Town Council
pained an Ordinanoo forbidding barber
tsbops to bo opened on Sunday, and the
law in rigidly enfoioed ; and yet, every
Sunday our streets nro thronged with
half-grown negro bootblacks, who ply
their trado and gather in the nickels
without interference. Now, wo would
like for our City Fathers to explain why
they forbid the violation of tho Sabbath
iu one instance aud permit it iu the other.

IN MEMORY OF A BROTHERIDEAO.
On the 2d day of November, 1821, in tbe
county of Lincoln, Sate of Georgia, William
McCorkle wu> born, the elde t of seven
brothers, all in *nced£ioo, In tlix county,
and near hi# birthplace, he ent aim oat hi*
entire life, departing thi* life September
2<>, 1899, by renno n of strength, sealing
four score years.
Coining of old Methodist stock, in young
manhood he j fined the church. Hi* gran
father be ug a OiftMj-leader after the old
typo and his father a local preacher, it woe
natural that bo should join and lore the
church of bln fathers. As Steward. Class'
leader, Sunday Hchool Superintendent and
Trnetee, he gave in those stations the best
of his life.
Ho served his State and country in the
Civil War under that matchless soldier and
states man, Hubert Toombs; and here he
was true to his country and his comrades.
In 1847 ho was married to Miss Juliv A.
Covington, and two children were born to
them—Mrs. K. W. McCord, of Lincoln
comity, and W. A. McCorklc, of Augusta.
The wife who for more than forty years
shined with him his joys and sorrows, a few
3 ears since died in his absence. This was
one of tho sorest trials of his life, yet he
bore it without a murmur, looking soon to
a happy reunion. Soon after her death his
health began to fail. He was partially par
alysed and flinally was unable to walk. He
spent more than two years in a roller chair,
his only means of locomotion, and here ho
showed some of the pa'ienoe of Job—cheer
ful all tho way—no charging of God fool
ishly. Nursed by Ins loving daughter aud
granddaughter so tenderly, his only trouble
seemed to be that to them and his good
neighbors he was too much burden.
I vielted him often during his affliction,
and he always assured me that he was
ready, and willing to go or stay. On my
last visit before the final end, in bidding
him goodbye, though his tongue was silenc
ed, ho grasped my hand aud w ith the other
pointed Heavenward. And thus he died,
surrounded by his children and grandehid
ren, two brothers and one sister—all t hut
aro left of a family of eleven.
Hin life to ns was a blessing, and hi* tri
umphant death a boned lotion. We buried
him at tho old Ariinathea church near his
homo. Our beautiful burial service was im
