And Ty Cobb continues to coia
money.
The Thanksgiving hunting season
is getting real close.
The people of the Second District
could not have been more honored
than in having as their guests at so
sad a time the representatives of
Georgia in the national legislative
halls. Only one was absent and ho
from necessity.

Tlie game was made by the news
paper publicity which is given f.'oo

Within the. borders of TUomasvillc
yesterday were more distinguished
men in national affairs than ever
in one time before, although we
have entertained some of the na

Cox, Banks and Park will he in the
race to succeed Judge Roddenbery.
Hoke Smith wont have any oppo

and positively useless.
Judge Roan has decided to hear
the motion for new trial in the Frank

Who will be able to acceptably fi’l
Roddenbery’s shoes?
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS PEOPLE
From time immemorial, It has been the pleasure of men to honor
and revere those who died in the discharge of duty, if it occurred
either on the field of battle or in the more peaceful pursuits, where
courage, as strong and as persistent, is demanded. Such was tho
fate of our friend and fellow-townsman, Seaborn Anderson Rodden-
bery - S. L ' - , i
A great mind in a frail body has succumbed as we all must some
day, some time. In its path there is an abundance of purposeful en
deavor, worthy deeds and kindly acts. His was a life that was full
to the brim with work—earnest, forceful, persistent work for those
who placed their trust and their ifaith in him. As a statesman, a
thinker, a worker, a friend, we honor his memory.
“Friendship and love,” he once said, “must be builded upon
character.” On those terms he baa claimed th« love and friendship
of nearly every man ho has known. The strength of his character
was founded on two noticeable things: power of will and Mlf-con-
trol. His feelings were decisive, his control over them more so.
Mastering himself was his first lossou, and he learned it well, 'lhe
others came comparatively easy.
He was the faithful embodiment of truth—and what 1ft there in
life that demands more admiration than this, the simple truth, free of
deceit, cupidity or designing self-emulation; on the other hand, what
is more pitiful than the man »lio is wafted from the path of virtue
by tho fickle winds of egotism and left stranded on the sands of dis
honor? His life was clean, his purpose clear and his endeavors crown
ed with the laurel wreath of honor.
No love of self display marred his life, no envy or malice brought
the bitterness of self-reproach, no Injustice came back to torture
and rack with Its accusing injury. The obstacles he met were re-
•iperted but they were valiantly overcome. He stood his ground iu
the face of bitter opposition, but he was an opponent who would not
stooii to vast the stigma of shame upon his rival. He was fair in
all things, just to his fellowman and worthy of the confidence of both
hi- friends and his enemies.
Seemingly In the glow of health and strength, ho gained a cov
eted uoal. He had prepared himself for the life of an active mar.,
doing his best for those whom he was delegated to represent. He began
at once to make himself felt In the councils of the nation’s most
honored men. t’nmindful of warning, knowing the frailty of his body
and the consequences which it might suffer as a result of overwork,
ho went bis way without flinching front the awful end. Staring
death face to face, he performed to the best of his power those duties
which he felt rested upon him. Afraid of death are many men—not
so with him. He sacrificed himself for his people, simply and unos
tentatiously, without regret or*bi*ternes:s, because he believed it was
bis duty.
He died as he had lived. He never faltered In his ideals. He
never wavered from the path of right. His was a life that we look
back on with respect and admiration .his death an inscrutable au of
providence that carried to our Maker one of those noble men whose life
had passed the beauty of its morning and reached the heat and the
struggle of noon-tide, only to be shadowed and darkened at its merid
ian height by the storm which takes away and leaves In Its wake deso
lation and despair. . ~ ^ .
Tlie peo; : of the Second Congressional District of Georgia could
not have <ho>.n a man to represent them, who would have given as
much as he has. They could not have found a man who would have
looked more < arefully after their interests and fought more zealously
and persistently for their rights. The struggle ended as he knew it
would and he was satisfied.
In years to coma, the memory of Anderson Roddenbery win live
long 1b the heart# ot bis peopls, moro especially those who knew him
and enjoyed his personal friendship.
