CHEROKEE CIRCUIT RACE-
Solicitor Maddox In the City and
Talks of the Hot Race.
Allanta Constitution.
Hon. S. P. Maddox, solicitor
general ct the Cherokee circuit,
was in Atlanta yesterday on busi
ness. In conversation with a rep
resentative ot the Constiation, who
asked him concerning the ap
proaching race for judge and solic
itor-general of the Cherokee circuit,
Mr. Maddox said.
“I am a candidate for re-election
for solicitor-general of the Chero
kee circuit. I have once been
elected by the people, and natu
rally feel that T would like an in
dorsement; otherwise not. I shall
make the race squarely on my rec
ord, knowing that I have conscien
tiously tried to discharge my duty.
Since my incumbency I have done
everything in my power to lessen
the expense of running tne courts.
I do not believe any man can be
found in the circuit who can say
that I have consumed unnecessary
time in the trial of cases. I discuss
my cases and quit; and in this, as
well as otherwise, I have saved the
taxpayers a great deal of money.
The people are appreciative, and I
am certain of an indorsement of my
course. The office belongs to the
people, and it is their right to say
who shall fill it for them, and I
shall, of course, abide by their ver
UiVri*
A friend of Judge A. W. Fite,
who was standing by, remarked:
“And you may say also that
Judge Fite is not only in the race
for re-election, but he will get the
biggest vote this time that he has
ever received in the circuit. The
judge has not made any formal an
nouncement of his candidacy yet,
but everybody knows that he is in
the race, and at the proper time he
will make such announcement as
is necessary.”
Judge Fite became judge of the
Cherokee circuit about seven years
ago, and he is now serving his sec
ond term. Both he and Solicitor
Maddox were elected to their first
terms by the general assembly,
before the law was changed by
which these elections were placed
in the hands of the people. They
were immediately afterwards re
elected by the people of their cir
cuits, Solicitor Maddox being un
opposed and Judge Fite being
opposed by Col. R. J. McCamy,
who is now opposing Judge Fite
fot re-election. Solicitor Maddox
is opposed by Hon. Oliver Starr,
of Cos don county.
Mr, Maddox talks confidently
of his prospects, and says that he
has no fear of his overwhelming
re-election.
“The people of my circuit,” says
Mr. Maddox, “know whal we have
done toward lessening the expenses
of holding our courts, and we bavs
a record in this respect which will
compare favorably with that of any
other circuit in Georgia or in the
United States, and we are willing
to stand on that record.”

Saturday afternoon found a score
of friends in merry converse at the
George S, Crouch home, whence
Misses Kate and Jennie Crouch
were giving a “linen shower” in
honor of the bride elect, Miss Bes
sie Lumpkin. For this pretty
party the house was tastefully
decorated with chrysanthemums,
palms and ferns. In the parlor a
white parasol (the Chinese emblem
of good luck), decorated with red
hearts and red ribbon, was sus
pended from the ceiling. The gifts
from the guests to Miss Lumpkin
were done in attractive packages,
and placed in the parasol with rib
bon attached, on the end of which
were hearts bearing the donors’
names. The bride-elect, standing
under the parasol, received a verit
able “shower” of dainty handker
chiefs, stocks, turnovers and the
like, as the circle of girls pulled
the ribbons. These packages were
opened amid much merriment, after
which the guests were invited into
the dining room. This room was
beautiful in its decorations of pink,
this color scheme being carried out
in the shaded lights, candles, flow
ers and ices. The table decora
tions consisted of many streamers
of red hearts running from its four
corners to the chandelier, and
in the center of the table a tall
vase of chrysanthemums rested on
an exquisite battenburg square-
Surrounding this w j as a circle of
lighted tapers. Upon each plate
there was the “dearest” souvenir
in the shape of a red heart, upon
one side of which was written a
few bars and words of the old
Scotch ballad, “For Bonnie Sweet
Bessie,” and on the other side sev
eral measures of “Lohengrin’s
Wedding March.” As hostesses
of this delightful and unique affair
the Misses Crouch established for
themselves a reputation as finished
artists in the enteJtaiument of their
friends.
The guests were Misses Bessie
Lumpkin, Mary Graves, of Atlanta;
May Cabaniss, Lois Cabaniss, For
syth; Lila Schulte, Chattanooga;
Mrs, Horace Howard, Chattanooga;
Misses Christine Lumpkin, Loulie
Lumpkin, Ella Neel, Mary Lu
Wikle, Sallie Mae Akin, Estelle
Calhoun, Lottie Anderson, Bere
nice Tumlin, Lily Crouch, Cornelia
Field, Mrs. Felton Jones.
Miss Lumpkin’s costume for this
oarty was a handsome tailor suit
of tan cloth.
Miss Kate Crouch wore a gown
of gray tissue over pink and a gir
dle of pink liberty satin.
Miss Jennie Crouch wore velvet
cloth with white cloth applique
trimmings.
The writer had the pleasure, last
Sunday afternoon in Atlanta, of
attending a private rehearsal of
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
which is to give a series of month
ly concerts at th; Grand this win
ter. The first concert is on De
cember nth.
Dr. J. Lewis Brown is conduc
tor of the orchestra, and that in it
self speaks volumes, for there is
not in the south a better known or
a more artistic musician than Dr,
Brown, and he is doing much to
elevate the standard of music in
Atlanta. This orchestra consists
of forty members, and the pro
gramme rendered last Sunday af
ternoon was magnificent. At each
of these symphony concerts the or
chestra will be assisted by some
soloist. The Cartersville Music
Club has been offered special rates
for both the concert and railroad
tickets, the acceptance of which
they are contemplating,
Miss Mary Lu Wikle, always a
dainty hostess, excelled even her
self in the buffet luncheon she gave
last Monday in honor of Miss Bes
sie Lumpkin, the very popular
bride to be, whose marriage to Mr.
W. H. Howard, Jr., occurs today
at 5 o’clock p. m.
Miss Wikle's home, for her af
fair, had a se,ting of palms, ferns
and shaded lights, and her guests
were all those of the fairer sex,
who are to participate in Mi s
Lumpkin’s wedding. She request
ed her guests to bring a small pic
ture of themselves, and upon ar
rival they were given a bristle
wedding bell, and told to paste
thereon their picture, and under
neath it write a toast to the bride.
These were all strung upon a rib
bon, tied and compiled into a book
let and presented to Miss Lump
kin as a souvenir. On the outer
bell and cover, as it were, was a
pen and ink sketch of a bride, the
artistic work of Miss Jennie
Crouch. Between the first aud
second courses of the luncheon
one of the guests was requested to
ead aloud all the toasts, aud i
would have been difficult to find
again such a bunch of good wishes,
wit and fun.
The menu served was delicious,
and the affair, as a whole, one of
the most charming of the season.
Miss Wikie wore a dainty frock
of pink grenadine, with lace trim
mings. Miss Lumpkin’s costume
was of violet crepe de chine, with
trimmings of lace applique.
Miss Jessie Wikle assisted her
sister in receiving and wore a
gown of tan tissue- The guests of
this affair were:
Muss Lumpkin, Miss May Caba
niss, Miss Lois Cabaniss, Miss
Mary Giaves, Miss Lila Schulte,
Miss Loulie Lumpkin. Miss Chris
tine Lumpkin, Mrs. Horace How
ard, Mrs. Felton Jones, Mrs. A. B.
Cunvus, Mrs. John G. Simpson,
Miss Barton, Miss Anderson, Miss
Strickland, Miss Neel, Miss
Crouch, Miss Jane Crouch, Miss
Axin, Miss Estelle Calhoun, Miss
Jessie Wikle.
Mrs. J. W. L. Brown entertains
informally at her beautiful country
home tomorrow with a “spend the
day” party. The little new daugh
ter of this home, who has been
named Pauline, will be the guest
of honor, and that she will be very
much toasted goes without saying,
Mrs. Brown’s guests will be Mrs.
J. H. Vivion, Mrs. Elizabeth Gar
ner, Mrs. H. A. Chapman, Mrs.
F'elton Jones.
Misses Mary Lu and J< -ie Wi
kle went down to Atlanta Tuesday
to attend the Sliropshire-Callaway
wedding, whic i occurred there yes
terday, Miss Jessie Wikle was
one of the bridesmaids.
Mr, and Mrs. William H. Lump
kin informally entertained the at
tendants of the Lumpkin-Howard
wedding last night after the re
hearsal The wedding cake was
cut, and many toasts drank to the
prospective bride and groom.
Misses Christine and Loulie
Lumpkin gave a beautiful violet
luncheon Tuesday complimentary
to Miss Bessie Lumpkin. The
table was exceedingly pretty in its
dress of violets and lighted ta
pers, and an elaborate menu of
seven courses was served. The
place cards were the daintiest bits
of bristol board, bearing a water
color sketch appropriate to each
guest, Miss Lumpkin’s being the
picture of a very dashing looking
bride and groom. These were the
handiwork of Miss Christine
Lumpkin. The other guests upon
this occasion were the bridesmaids
of the Lumpkin-Howard wedding.
Death of Marvin Walker.
Mr. Marvin Walker, son of Mr.
and Mrs. F. R. Walker, died at
their home at Cass Station on Wed
nesday of last week, from brain
trouble.
He retired on Tuesday night,
apparently in his usual health, and
on Wednesday morning, about 4
o’clock, he went into his mother’s,
room and complained of a severe
headache. While he was talking
with his mother he fell over uncon
scous, and remained in that condi
tion until his death about 2 o’clock
in the afternoon.
Marvin Walker was a bright
young man, and graduated at the
city public schools last June, tak
ing third honor in his class. He
was eighteen years old, and his
death is a sad blow to his parents
and family.
Mrs. J. B. Conyers returned, a
few days ago, from Morgan county,
where she spent a week or more
with her mother, who is ill.
