SAMUEL FRANKS HUDGINS.
He Succumbs to Consumption
Early Sunday Morning.
Mr. Sam F. Hudgins, whose
sickness was reported in these
columns last week, died rather
unexpectedly last Sunday morn
ing at the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Hudgins.
Mr. Hudgins had been a patient,
never-complaining sufferer from
consumption for three or four
years which became considerably
worse about a year ago. At the
time and even up to near death’s
door the young man, together
with his friends, while fearful as
to the nature of the disease, were
hopeful that it was some other
trouble that would readily yield
to proper medical treatment.
None dreamed of the seriousness
of his condition until the early
part of last week when he began
to have hemorrhages, which left
him in a fearful weakened condi
tion. He improved during the
middle of the week and up to Sat
urday his condition was thought
improving. He suffered during
that night, however, and early
next morning, surrounded by his
mother, brothers and sister, his
sweet spirit wafted its way to the
One that gave it, as if he had fall
en into a delightful sleep. Not a
sign of pain marked his brow, so
gently did the summons come.
Mr. Hudgins’ death was a great
surprise to every one, and all day
Sunday and Monday friends called
and tendered their sympathy to
the grief-stricken father, mother,
sister and brothers, and to look
upon the still form they loved so
well. None could realize that the
boy was dead, so sudden had the
end come.
Monday afternoon he was laid
away in beautiful Oak Hill ceme
tery by loving friends and the
large concourse of people who at
tended the funeral services be
spoke the esteem in which he was
held. The funeral services were
most impressively conducted by
Revs. A. W. Bealer, E. M, Craig
and F. W. Ambler.
A quartette beautifully rendered
music suitable for the sad occasion,
Mrs. A. B. Cunyus conducting.
After the services at the home, the
remains were turned over to the
Knights of Pythias, of which lodge
Mr. Hudgins had been a member
for about five years. A large
number of the Knights were pres
ent and marched with the remains
to the cemetery, where they
were put away according to the
beautiful custom of the order.
The floral tributes were most love
ly and beautiful.
Mr. Hudgins would have been
thirty years of age had he lived
until the 25th of next November,
and was born in Cartersville. He
began the printing business as an
apprentice on the old Free Press,
C. H. C. Willingham editor, and
the editor of this paper foreman.
It soon developed that the lad
through very small for his age was
particularly bright and had in his
composition the making of all that
was desired in a printer. He soon
mastered straight typesetting and
he could set columns after columns
with hardly an error. His ambi
tion began to lead him into lines
of artistic work, that is display
work, and soon he had charge of
all work in this department, thus
demonstrating that the instinct of
the true artist was in him. Artists
in the printing business like those
in those of paint and brush are
born, not made, and the genius
whose minds most beautifully
array the leaden designs are much
in demand.
After leaving Cartersville he
worked in two or three of the large
concerns in Atlanta and was with
the Rome Tribune for several yeai s.
Leaving there he accepted a posi
tion with the A. J. Showalter
Printing Company, Dalton, and
there his genius, by reason of the
splendid equipment, was given
full sway and how well he used it!
He was the genius of the estab
lishment and every contract that
demanded the most superior work
manship, was left to his deft fin
gers and ingenuity, and none were
disappointed. His fragile frame
could not withstand the labor that
demanded the poor boy’s care and
soon the news came that he had
broken down. This was a year
ago. He came home and improv
ed to such an extent that he re
turned to his post, where he re
mained until about one month
ago, when he came home.
Mr. Hudgins was of a most
genial disposition, gentlemanly
bearing, never obtrusive. Those
who knew him best loved him
pouQigt- -inA u-pll f h f v may for th/*v
THE NEWS.
found in him the noblest traits of
character, always cheerful, yet
positive in his declarations, never
having an unkind word for any
one. This was one of the young
man’s great traits, he never spoke
ill of any. He was a most faith
ful employed, a good lriend and
his many deeds of kindness will
long be remembered.
To the grief-stricken aged fath
er and mother, prostrated, devot
ed sister, and brothers the heart
of the community goes out in the
deepest, most genuine sorrow.
The Rome Tribune of Tuesday
prints the following from the gift
ed pen of City Editor John C.
Reece:
Sam Hudgins is dead!
That news brought a feeling of
deep sadness to The Tribune of
fice yesterday. He died at his
home in Cartersville Sunday and
was buried yesterday afternoon.
Genial, k : ndly Sam Hudgins
had taken “30” and tired eyes had
closed forever and wan hands were
folded over a true and knightly
heart stilled in the dreamless calm
of death
Keen sorrow will be felt in the
craft of printing all over th|s sec
tion. Sam Hudgins was in The
Tribune composing room for
years, and no finer artist in the
profession which he honored was
ever seen in this city. He knew
the business in all its unfinitude
of minutia, and knowing loved it
as a mother loves her child.
What witchery of types his deft
fingers and keen brain could
weave his fellow craftmen knew
and even the outside world would
pause before the compelling beau
ty of this unknown weaver of the
art preservative.
But the frail form could not
stand the exactions of his profes
sion—in some senses the most ex
acting in the world —and about
one year ago he had to lay aside
stick and rule and wait for that
end for which fate had so surely
labeled him. He did not murmur
or complain, but in the weary
weeks of waiting for the coming
of the Great Comforter, he made
peace with his Maker.
And he rests now in that long
undisturbed dream which is alle
viation for all suffering and sor
row. His life here was brief but
filled with deeds worth while.
DEATH OF MRS. ATTAWAY.
She Succumbs to the Grim Reap
er Last Saturday Morning.
At ten minutes past nine, Satur
day morning, after a gradual de
cline of three months, Mrs. W. S.
Attaway passed quietly away at
her home in the surburbs of Car
tersville, surrounded by her fami
ly and a few intimate friends.
Mrs. Attaway was the widow of
Mr. W. S. Attaway, who preceded
her only a few years since. Prior
to her marriage she was Miss
Elizabeth Jane Henderson, and
was born near Stilesboro, Nov.
24th, 1840. Sh“ was of Carters
ville’s oldest and most respected
citizens, and was a consistent
member of the Baptist church of
this place, and her death will be
lamented by all who knew her.
She leaves a son, Mr. D. A. Atta
way, of Chattanooga, Tenn. and
two daughters, Mrs. J D. Thom
as and Miss Geneva Attaway to
mourn her loss. She was the
mother of the late Judge Shelby
Attaway.
She had lived along and useful
life, was a faithful soldier of the
cross, and has gone to receive the
crowh that is promised all those
who trust in Him and are true to
His cause. While we mourn the
loss we have sustained, we can
but feel that our loss is her gain -
The funeral service was con
ducted at the Baptist church, in
an impressive manner by the pas
tor, Rev. A. W. Bealer at naif
past 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon.
Interment at Oak Hill cemetery.
CARD of thanks.
The family of the late Mrs. W.
S. Attaway, an account of whose
sad death appears elsewhere in
this issue, desire to extend their
heartfelt thanks to the many
friends who have assisted and
comforted them during Mrs.
Attaway’s illness.

LYCEUM COURSE.
One Being Organized for Carters
ville People.
Cartersville will have another
lyceum course this season. Mr,
E. W. Anderson, representing the
Alkahest Lyceum System, of At
lanta, was in town during the first
part of this week arranging the
course. He found that the idea of
having this course of popnlar lec
turers, impersonators, and musical
concert companies, met the hearty
approval and endorsement of the
best people of the town; and is
perfectly confident that he will
succeed in placing the course. He
will return to our town next week
and complete the arrangements
for the course.
I he Alkahest Lyceum System is
a comparatively new development
in lyceum circles, but is meeting
with unprecedented success in this
line. It placed courses in about a
hundred towns in Georgia and the
neighboring states last season, and
will more than double this num
ber this season. This is vvhv it
can place its attractions at such
low prices, the talent being the
best on the American platform.
Every intelligent person in town
should endorse and aid the lyceum.
MATTER, OF PENSIONS.
Judge Hendricks Receives Impor
tant Circular Letter.
Judge G. W. Hendricks, ordina
ry of Bartow county, has received
the two following circulars which
explains themselves:
Atlanta, Ga., June 15th, 1901.
—Dfar Judge: lam now prepar
ing my pension rolls for payment
in 1902. My first duty is to exam
ine and pass on all applications on
file, or that may be filed by Sep
tember 15th next. Those coming
here after that date cannot be con
sidered \iutil another year. You
are requested to post this circular,
and inform all your people who
contemplate making an applica
tion for a pension under either
class provided for, to be paid, in
1902, to have their applications
here by 15th September next, for
on October Ist this part of my
work will close, and submitted to
the governor.
J. W. Lindsey,
Commissioner of Pensions.
Atlanta, Ga.. June Bth, 1901.
—Dear Judge: Owing to the re
cent decision of the supreme
court relative to the temporary
use of the public property fund in
the state treasury —the only fund
out of which the indigent widows
could have been paid, as no other
provision was made for that pur
pose this department has no
funds with which to pay those ap
proved for 1901.
J. W. Lindsey,
Commissioner of Pensions.
Card from Mr. Haney.
To The Editor of The News.
I desire through your paper, to
thank the good people of Carters
ville, and especially those who
live near me, for their many deeds
of kindness, their many tokens of
sympathy and their many messag
es of cheer and comfort during my
illness. While words and flowers
are not often prescribed by our
physicians, they are good medi
cine and will make a fellow want
to get well to see his friends
again.
I desire also, to thank the offi
cials of our town for their interest
and diligent action in the case.
No boy was ever sick away from
home ana treated more kindly.
There is hospitality, liberality
and just lots of Christianity among
our people.
There have been some unjust
and unreasonable as well as false
reports about my case and about
the people who were exposed to
me. Of course, the one who told
these things first, could not be
found in a thousand years. No
one could be held totally responsi
ble for it all. Like a snowball,
these reports grow larger and
gather many impurities as they
are rolled on. My friends, I am
glad to say, did not entertain
them, and we can account for
them by repeating an old adage
that, “The mouths of some peo
ple, who talk w'hen they don’t
know, are like drunk men, they
vomit up many things which they
never eat.”
For the sake of my friends as
well as myself, I correct one thing.
It has been circulated that I knew
beforehand that I had been expos
ed to small pox; or that I had been
appiised of it by a letter. Every
word of this is a mistake. No
f'MUUUMt
ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE
ELECTRIC LIGHT BONDS CARRIED.
As predicted in the last issue of
The News the result of the elect
ion last Saturday upon the elec|ric
light bond question was near un
animous. The News gave it as
its opinion that out of 325 regis
tered, 275 would vote for the issu
ing of the bonds.
The count shows that 269 votes
were cast; 265 for bonds and four
against.
Possibly there never was more
unanimity among the people of
Cartersville upon any public ques
tion than was upon this subject of
electric lighting and its municipal
ownership. It augurs well for the
future of the town, the people are
a£ last getting together. By this
that he had been exposed to small
pox would do as I have done, car
ry the disease with him, take no
precaution to try to make it light
er, allow a great number of his
verv best friends to be exposed to
him while suffering with fever,
his own mother and brothers, and
never tell them.
I was exposed to it, or I would
never have had it; but I was told
by the people, who are good peo
ple and my friends, that it was
chicken pox, and having had
chicken pox, I never thought of
having it again.
Again thanking the people and
wishing them prosperity and a full
deliverance from small pox.
I am very sincerely,
R. F. Haney.
