H.trtfHVTPK AND PAKCELS POST.
We think It very unfair for Con

say that he is against the parcel

for the Express Companies. We
think It equally unfair for tha Con-
gresman to represent, as he did in
his last card, such men as Senator
Smith and Governor Slaton as being

The long drawn-out fight
the district attorneyship for
Southern district of Georgia
ended at last In the election of
Hon. Roscoe Luke, of Thomasvilie,
whose name was certified to the
President, yesterday, by Attorney-
General McReynolds. Numerous
names were from time to time sub
mitted to the Attorney General by
Senator West, but one after the
other they were rejected for reasons
which were not always quite clear.
The fact that Mr. Luke has been
found acceptable to the head of the
Department of Justice Is a compli
ment to the Thomasvilie attorney
which his friends throughout the
district will appreciate. That he
will make a vigorous and capable
district atorney is not doubted by
those who know of his work In the

Mr. Elbert Tillman of this city,
and Miss Nettle Baker, of Pensa

afternoon about four o'clock
Newton, the county site of Baker
County. It was a runaway match,
accomplished despite the vigorous
efforts of relatives of the young
lady to prevent It.
The couple, with Mr. Brown
Cooper and another friend, left the
city Monday afternoon for Camilla.
Wires were sent to every county In
this section, with Instructions to
the ordinary to refuse to Issue them
a license. This was done In Camilla
and they went to Newton. The
wires to that place were down and
Newton could not be reached so the
couple were successful In their ef
forts and were married by the Ordi
