The upper Part of the Ticket Torn
AW ay Because of Great Length.
| About Those Elected.
I The election for state house of
ficers, judges, state senator rep
resentatives and county officers
came off last Wednesday. All over
Bartow county the election was
one 0 f the most quiet and orderly
that lias ever been known. The
occupation of the button-holer
seemed to have gone aud all went
up and voted their convictions
without importuning* and pullings
''incident to elections heretofore.
True there had been close and active
campaigning by the candidates on
both the tickets, but there was lit
tle done more than watching the
voters on election day. The ne
groes manifested a striking indif
ference. A few were at the polls
and voted but the majority seemed
to care nothing about the contest
or the result.
The ticket was perhaps the long
est one ever seen at a Georgia elec
tion. Few champions of the pop
ulist vote being in evidence and the
contest for the state officers being
altogether one-sided, because of
the cumbersomeness of the ballot,
many being interested alone iu the
local officers, tore away the whole
upper part of the ticket. This
made a short show up for the state
officers in the returns and worked
likewise an injustice to the home
candidates for judge and solicitor,
who, if they had been opposed
might have had a larger vote as it
was. In places populists voted for
their own Traylor and their party
men or a few men they chose to
for county officers and scratched
the other names on the ticket, the
candidates for judge and solicitor.
This also served to lessen the vote
of judge and solicitor in propor
tion to that of candidates for coun
ty officers. Notwithstanding these
several causes, Judge Fite, with
out opposition received a vote high
ly complimentary to him —one lar
ger bv two nundred than the other
candidates for the judgships and
larger than that of the governor.
Dr. Thomas H. Baker, state
senator elect, is a man of active
thought and splendid general in
formation. He has had experi
ence as a legislator, having served
in the senate some twelve years
ago. He has always the courage
of his convictions. He w r ill be an
active figure in the body to which
he has been elected.
Messrs. Johnson and Anderson
are paid a neat compliment by re
election. They did good service
and won creditable standing in the
sessions of the Georgia’s General
Assembly in which they figured.
Judge Hendricks has served the
county as ordinary twelve years,
having succeeded Judge Jerry
Howard in the office in 1888. He
has beeu a punctual, dutiful and
accommodating official, and his
election is a splendid endorsement
of his services.
Levi Reeves, Jr., was roughly
dubbed by some admirer the other
day “Cyclone,” because of his ac
tive campaigning qualities. He is
perhaps the most picturesque of all
the figures in the contest. He
here from Montgomery, Ala,,
a few years ago a perfect stranger,
having married one of our lovely
“flow county girls. He soon had
au living around him praising him
as a good neighbor, and being in
uced to run for commissioner he
surprised all with his hustling
qualities and geniality, and after
dng in office soon evinced his
business qualities and ability,
e won when running for clerk
a gainst some of the strongest men

SOUNDSENSEFROM MR-STEELE
Solid Reasons Wfiy Roundlap Bales
Are Worth More Than Square
Bales.
Mr, J. H. W. Steele, secretary of
the Texas Standard Bale Compress
Association, in a letter written to
the West Times, June 30, says:
“Let me say a plain word to the plain
people: For the same reason that
you pay more for a good coat than
you would for a ragged and sleezy
one, so will the English and Ger
man spinner pay you more for a
neat, dense, well-covered bale than
he will for w'hat is left of an un
sightly bag, which has lost half its
value by wet, waste, pilfery and
dirt.”
For exactly this reason spinners
pay more for Roundlap than for
square bales of any size whatever.
It is precisely because bales are
“neat, dense, well covered,” and
protected against fire, moisture,
waste, theft and damage, that they
are worth more to spinners than an
“unsightly” square “bag which
has lost half its value by wet,
waste, pilfery and dirt ” It is pre
cisely 7 for this reason, also, and be
cause of the savings made in the
wrapping, handling and shipment
of Roundlap bales that buyers are
able to and do pay for them a pre
mium above the value of square
bales sufficient to pay the haling
charge and leave the owner a sub
stantial profit besides.
SERMON TO THE CHILDREN-
A Special Service Will be Held for
Them Next Sunday Morning.
Next Sunday morning at the
Baptist churcn there will be a spe
cial service for the children. The
pastor, Rev. Alex W. Bealer, will
preach to them on the subject of
character building. He will use
the blackboard, and will build the
house of Christian character. There
will be some special songs render
ed by a children’s choir. The pub
lic and especially the children, are
cordially invited to attend this
service. Regular service at night.
All except
bad ones l
There are hun
dreds of cough medi
cines which relieve
coughs, all coughs ,
except bad ones!
The medicine which
has been curing the
worst of bad coughs
for 6o years is Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral.
Here is evidence:
“ My wife was trembled with m
deep-seated cough on her lungs for
three years. One day I thought
of how Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
saved the life of my sister after
the doctors had all given her up to
die. So I purchased two bottles,
and it cured my wife completely.
It took only one bottle to cure my
sister. So yo,u see that three bot
tles (one dollar each) saved two
lives. We all send you our heart
felt thanks for what you have done
for us.”—J. H. Burge, Macon,CoL,
Jan. 13, 1899.
Now, for the first time yon
can get a trial bottle of Cherry
Pectoral for 25 cents. Aik

ESTIMATE ON
ELECTORAL VOTE.
The Indications Are That Mr- Bryan
Will be Elected
BY A VERY LARGE MAJORITY-
There Is Much Speculation on the
Situation. However, and the Re
publicans Not Confident-
Washington, Oct. 8. —An esti
mate on the electoral vote this
fall, apparently put forward with
democratic authority, allows Mc-
Kinley only 88 votes. This is, of
course,extravagant and has caused
a good deal of ridicule in the re
publican aud independent papers
of the country. But as a matter of
fact, close observers in this city
are inclined to believe that while
such a result is practically impos
sible, yet it would not be altogether
surprising if Bryan went into of
fice by the largest electoral ma
jority cast for years. Their idea
is that no one knows how the coun
try stands on the new issues pres
ented to it. Thousands of repub
licans who object to the imperial
policy of the president, and who
yet fear the result of Bryan’s elec
tion, are saying little, but will,
they say stay away from the polls,
and this alone will be sufficient to
cause a landslide to the democracy.
These men do not believe that
the election will be at all close.
They say that if their ideas are
correct, Bryan will win overwhelm
ingly, and that if they are wrong,
he will be defeated oveiwhelming
ly-
Taxe Illinois, for instance. They
say it gave McKinley 140,000 ma
jority in 1896. This year, there
are signs that it will go strongly,
democratic, and if it does, th&
chances are that other contiguous
states will go with it. In Chicago,
the democrats claim the labor vote,
the Irish-Blaine vote of 5,000, a
large proportion of the German
vote, and nearly all the gold demo
crats who voted for McKinley.
The republicans deny these claims,
without making any for themselves,
aud say that even if the city goes
democratic, the republican major
ity in the state will offset it. The
fact is, however, that, generally
speaking, as goes Chicago so goes
the state. This was certainly thei
case with Cleveland in 1892 and;
McKinley in 1896. The German
situation has been sufficiently can
vassed to make it clear that the
German Catholic vote, which has
always beeu democratic, but which
was captured to a very large ex
tent by McKinley in 1896, will this
year be for Bryan.
Death of Mrs. Wilkes-

final illness was only of about two
