fe. ELECTION AFTERMATH
TALKING IT OYER
THE MORNING AFTFR.
Than is always a “morning after."
.For some people it is a triad one and for
some a rad one. Yesterday there was a
morning after election, and the folks
were all talking it ov-r.. On an ooca-
elcn like lliik the “I told yon bo's” are
always in oTidence Of coarse they
1 knew; 'how the election wee going.
Of cc i - it oy predicted the resale at 1
p. m Of course every candidate they
TO" .. t wee elected. Evervbcd.v lilies
to ride m the band wagon. They listen
for the toot of the horn and hop on.
After the wagon has rolled up the hill
of contest to tile summit of victory, it
■ can't acoonunodate the climbers.
THREE POPULAR ONE3.
The three unopposed candidates Tues
day wen the envy of their less fortu
nate brethren. The man who got more
Totes than any other was Oapt. Kenneth
T. Maclean, the candidate f .r clerk of
the city. He has been in office along
time,is thoroughly familiar with the rou
tine work and the council would hardly
know how to get along ftithout him.
Until this year, he has always been ap
pointed by the council. To be elected
by the people for the first time, unop
posed and leading the entire tioket is a
deserved compliment that makes glad
the hearts of the genial captain’s friends.
Marshal J. J. Stephens is a safe man,
and with him to look after the protec
tion of the city the people reel safe. He
is quiet, unassuming, of even tempera
ment. Nobody ever saw him angry ir
excited yet ke keeps a close watoh-on
everything. As for Mayor Roddenbciy,
as the Teman has often said before, he
is the biggest little man in South Geor
gia and some day ho will fill a high
position. .
FAITHFUL TWO HUNDRED.
V “Say, I mi at have 2t>> pretty good
friends” wa« the delighted exclamation
Of Oity Treasurer elec: J. W. 11. Mit
Chell when he hertd the returns. "That
is just the number I received whet i
ran for Justice of the Peaue three weeks
ago, and I fall just one short in this
race.” The tall man with the alphabet
in front of his name has good reason to
'feel happy. He lies two of the tilings
that most people want, and chn’tgei
i, e. publto offices. His victory Is the
more remarkable when his opponent is
considered. Mr. Welter Williams has
a genial smile end a kind word for
everybody. We are quite mre that
every man who voted egeinst him hated
to do it. If he ever seeks office again
be will find the same coterie of hard
working friends behind hlin. Mean
while tke capable new treasurer if tie
want! to,can tend an order to the Tirnes-
Bntsrprise job office for some cards to
read.
J. W. H. Mitchell, J. T. O. T.
We have some new type and can fill ti e
order.
THE OLD CONFEDERATES.
"The people of Thomssville can’t for
get the old Confederates” said a voter
yesterday. “When I went up to the
polls and saw old Mr. Franklin sitting
there «ith his cross cf honor on his
coat 1 couldn’t have vuted against him,
if ( had wunted to. But lie's a good
man, experienced, and carefnl besides.”
Mr. Franklin was elected city sexton by
• nice majority over a strong opponent
who made a creditable canvass.
THE SCHOOL BOARD.
The tightest race of the day was that
for school board. The two new men
are Judge H. W. Hopkins and Dr. R
3. Milter. Dr. Miller was high man in
the race. This didn’t surprise many
peoplo. The reason for bis popularity
is easy to find. He is a mac of educa
tion and ability. More than that he is
a gentleman of courtesy and consider
ation. His friends notemsny charac
teristic little actions of kindness and
good will in bis dsily life. And tho
doctor is good humored too, and cheer
ful. And the world does love cheerful
folks. Judge Hopkins, makes the best
public servant wo know. He had co
special hankering after she problems
and perplexities embraced in a position
on the school board. But he.raid be
fore the election. “Ibe people have
everything I ever asked for, bo 1 feel
fchv if they wan* me to serve I oncht to
do so.* 1 The Judge made no canvass
for rotes, was not even in town on the
day of the election, and it was a snre
enough case of the office set-king the
mau. Bat tUeu if the Jadge was ever
defeated for au office 1 it isn't written
down in man's memory. He is a man
ot remarkable popularity and gives as
close attention to the public business as
if it were his own. Then too he be
lieves in the people having their any
about everything and is willing toabide
by their decision. Hib Democracy is of
the simon pure kind. The coancil of the
d3feated candidate Mr. O. M. Smith,
u ill be sorely missed bn the Boa/d Since
its organization ho has labored hard and
unselfishly. His handsome total of 207
votes showed that the people believe in
him. Mr. Smith too was an unusual
candidate. He did not ask a man to
vote for him.
HO, YE ALDERMEN.
Thepoople of Thomasville want a
municipal electric plant and want it
bad. If the angel Gabri 1, with his
knowq ability, should be a candidate for
town trump looter, and not favor elec
tric Tights he woold be defeated for that
office by a one lnuged consumptive on
the light tioket. The eight gentlemen
who will serve in an aldermauio ca
pacity, next year are all known to favor
municipal ownership. Besides that they
have many other excellent qualities
The man who led the tioket was W. H.
Mitchell. He has been city treasurer
for two years but was never au alder
mnn before. He is a farmer too and his
friends call him 4 ,Onion Bill.', Yester
day everybody said, “Onion Bill” ran
like a scared rabbit. J. F. Pittman, is
one of.tho present board to return,
is chairman of the finance committee
and is a valuable alderman, Dr. M. K
Mallette, president of the. Thomasville
National Bauk hasn't been hire long,
bat ho lias won his way to £bo hearts
of the people. Look at his vote. ' He
has never held city office before. J. O.
J. Lewis and W. B. Humbleton, are fix
tures on the al-iermauic board. They
have earned their right by faithful per
vie-. They can’t be beat. Nobody
wants to beat them. They will bring
long past experience to bear, on muni
cipal questions and their five new col
leagues will hear and heed. W. B,
Cochran, ex-dentist and present stools
man, has a large family connection and
everybody else likes him as well as his
own folks do. Ho has never served be
fore. A. W. Kirkland, the young rail
road man is to have his first trial as an
alderman. There is no doubt he'll make
a good one. Mr. J. F. Evans is a solid,
pnblio-spirited ci- isen. He has all along
been one of.the leaders in the light fight.
He has the sit nation at his firigers ends
an J‘will know what to do and how to
do it. The board of aldermen-elect has
the infusion of new blood necessary to
the life and vigorous act bn that will
make mnuicipal affairs ham. It is a
strong well balanced body, but we can
not refrain from dropping a tear at the
passing of that veteran trio:—Boyor,
Herring and Hansell.
A Christmas Carol.
Hark I the sound comes with the dawn-
Of tlmmornitig bright and clear
When all human hearts should glad
den
Gladden with the Christmas cheer.
Let no petty envy darken
Every selfish thought fotboar
Lend a hand in bringing gladness
To those hearts bowed down with care.
In your hone where all is comfort
Let not mammon's folly steal
Real pleasure lies in helping
tVcary souls to make them welj.
Think I are not there those about yon.
Who by fortunes ruthless will
Weary, worn andsick with hunger
Cloth less, numb with winter's chill.
Go then, find the joy in giving
Blersed more than to receive
He whose natal day wc welcome
Gave his life that yon might live.
Give a mite then from thy bounty
Giving let thy heart approve
It will tarn u-ufold unto thee
Sent with Christ’s undying love.

Mary Makepeace sat down In her fa

threw her bend back, with a long sigh.
‘‘No words can tell how glad I am
that I've made my last visit tor the
summer,” she said. “Now I shall have
some peace, not to mention plotsure.’'
“My dearl" said her mother reproach
fully.
“I mean it,” returned Mary. “Of

am tired of adapting my wbole life to
others,'ae I am expected to do as a
welcome guest”
“My dear!" aald her mother again.
“Think bow kind everybody baa been

"They meant to be-tbey were kind,"
Mary said wearily, “yet I feel as If I
