made in Thomasville.

This has been the dryest spring
that even "dry" Thitnasvllla has
ever known.
There seems to be more talk than
anything else tc the bathing suits
in use in Atlanta.
Governor Slaton has declined to
debate and he will have an oppor
tunity of declining the office, if ho
wishes to.
Everything la England will be in
ruins if they let the Sjuffragelt-s gt
on with their violent and inexcusa
ble depredations.
The Free Press, speaking of Quit-
man, says: “Atlanta applauds and
then shouts cordial welcome.’' At
lanta applauding anybody but At

will undoubtedly help him at the
polls. He explained that most of
his public speeches had been deliv
ered in the close states of the .North
and West, trying to advance the in
terest of Democracy. This was
well, as it is more important that
Mr. Hardwick advance the cause of
his party andtput It in power than
merely seek personal agrandlzement
at home. He explained that he had
made a long nine-year fight lor Ne
gro Disfranchisement lu ueorgia,
and how he finally succeeded. We
were glad he mentioned this as we
had gotton the idea that Hoke
Smith had had something to do with
the disfranchisement law, but glad

We were also glad tbe Congress- i
Now, we can understand how all the
Democrats came to highly regard
our Congressman, but Ju"t how ho
got tbe Republicans and Progres
sives under such obligations, ws
are unable to figure out.
If Mr Hardwick goes to the Sen
ate we have great curiosity to know
w ho will rise in his stead to run the
House of Representatives.
The speaker called attention to
tbe fact that Underwood, like him
self, had failed to get the Fifteenth
Amendment repealed. So far as we
know, Mr. Underwood did not run
on any such platform either, but be
that as it may, of course it Is tak
ing up time uselessly to Introduce
any such measure.
We believe it would be much
safer to meet .Mr. Hardwlcs In a ser
ious discussion on a well-defined is
sue than to try and match his wit
and repartee.

FOR SHERIFF.
To ’he Voters or Tnomas County:
In making this, my announcement
for the office of Sberin of Thomas
County, subject to the White Pri
mary governing the same, I wish to
say that I am not allied with any
politician or set of politicians, or In
any political clique or combine, but
that I am in this race Independent
of any faction or interest, save my
own.
Therefore, in maxing this race, I
am going before the people who are
responsive for the government, and
let them ray who shall be their next
Sheriff. When they have spoken, I
will bow to their decision, though It
be adverse to me. because the will of
he people should always be respect,
ed In all matters pertaining to lora 1
affairs.
For many reasons, the Sheriff's
office Is one that should be carefully
and Judiciously conducted In strict
compliance with the law. If elected,
I pledge myself to see that this Is
done and to give tne people fair,
courteous and Just treatment, and
the best servlce'I am capable of ren
dering at all times. Your voie and
support will be nnureciated.

He was ln favor of good health,

He favored Justice to the poor

Ho was strongly in favor of Hell,

In short, Congressman Hardwick
made a fine stump speech, but ln as
much as such a speech necessarily
places one ln the position of rec
ommending himself and saying all
and only that, which will take with
the crowd, he exposed blntrelf to
good-natured ridicule.
