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. O. R Fakane The Y. M. O.
