As the only member of last year’s Senate to return to this year’s body i“seniority” rights there are to the race, and with the three candidates now run ning splitting up the votes pretty even ly, it is pointed out that the Barrow county man would loom up prominent lv as" the logical “compromise” candi date. _ , I The canlidates who are officially ui [ the race for the presidency of the sen ate are George Carswell, Wilkinson countv Howard Coates, of Pulaski county; and W. W. Milady, Polk coun ty, all members of the House last year. According to gossip heard in the Kim liall House! all three candidates have pledged some strength, but it is stated .that many of the new senators have re frained from hinting how they will vote when the time for the election ■rolls around. The race deoiledly is “up in the air.” according to the politi cal sages, although the three candi dates are making strong claims. Senator Johns is close to the new' al ministration and was active in the elec tion of Governor-Elect Walker.

The scout parade began at the ci f y hall and proceeded by a purposely cir cuituous route to Sanford Field. There me judges reviewed the march from the grand stand and gave troops No. Winder third place in marching. The competition was by troops, not towns, and there were* probably a dozen troops which did not win a place in marching.

This troop won second place in the “tug of war,” and third place in the cjack race, represented by Edward Itussell.

If we keep on observing the birth days of men who deserve it, it won’t he twenty years until we wont have a single day left to do Business.” We inquired of Bill what the ouGoV was. and he added : “If there ever was a time since that the hanker, the farmer and the merchant ought to all work together, it is now; there is something for every man and woman lUs do. There are too many men trying to keep God’s weather often the devil’s leather. We can do as well without them as they can do without us.

Jackson, widow of the late A Campbell Jackson, died at her home ill Watkinsville Tuesday morn ing and was buried in the Watkinsville cemetery Wednesday. Her husband had many relatives throughout this section of the state. t “Uncle Frank” Jackson Rev. Frank Jackson has been a Bap tist preacher for so long a time that the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, and yet he has recentlv gone to the very s|x>t of his animation and ate dinner with the son-in law of the first man lie ever baptized. TJnele Frank told me this story the other morning, and 1 only wish my every render might have listemHl to him as in* covered tiie decades that have fallen between that July day in 1890 when lie baptized George Batch elor and his young wife in Hill’s gin pond and this present hour when he sits in the twilight of his long and use ful life and speaks words of benedic tion fo every passerby. "It was a hot Saturday afternoon is July, 18SM), that I went to George Batch elor’s house and talked with him about his soul’s salvation,” began Uncle Frank. “I found that he was under convic tion, and as 1 talked and prayed with him tiis good wife came and knelt be side Iter husband and I heard sobbing, and then 1 knew that she was also pray ing. It was a glorious experience that we had there in their little home, and 1 Iftiptized them Monday afternoon, July 21. I over shall remember that l pronounced the lienedictioh following the baptismal service Mr. Hill said to me, ‘I want you to petform that cere mony in the name of mv faith for mo.’ Mr. Hill was a disciple. Man. I said to him, I will perform this ceremony for you gladly, but I will do so only in the name of the Father and of the Sou and of tin* Holy Ghost.” Now it was at the home of Mr. J. A. MeEver, son-in-law of George Batch- elor, that Uncle Frank sat and broke bread with his first convert two Sun days ago. Mrs. Batchelor has passed on to her reward, and Mr. Batchelor is blind.
