*‘Every rose has its thorns, hut
aren’t the roses sweet?
A steam shovel showed up at
Winder Friday. Told you so.
Now to business. Mow it ajl
happened doesn’t cut any squares.
The big drone makes more noise
than any liee in the hive, but the
little worker is more apt to git
busy when mashed. Stung!
Faint heart never won an office.
\Y iiiderites should feel encouraged
by the success of her citizens who
have entered the political arena.
Now comes the news that the
Southern railway will resume its
work of double tracking its main
line from Washington to Atlanta,
and that the number of employes
in the Atlanta shops will Ik* in
creased. Well, sir!
The Atlanta Journal says Editor
Phini/y doesn't leave anything to
the imagination when he starts out
to light the railroads. No, but he
allowed his own imagnation to
run riot when his paper of Thurs
day, The Augusta Herald, an
nounced Hoke's nomination by
10,000 majority.
Mr. Brown, it is said, has stated
that his famous letter to (Jovernov
Smith will never he opened unless
the legislature so requests. Little
Joe says the letter would make
amusing reading at this time. Yes,
the phraseology of a dignified resig
nation written by Mr. Brown would
create quite a smile.
H. C. Fisher, division manager j
of the Virginin-t'ovolina, Chemical
Company, says: “Our plants at
Koine, Newuau, Social Circle and
Valdosta will he started at once.
During the summer months they
will employ about, forty to fifty men
each." That's Bringing prosperity
mighty close to home.

perous manufacturing enterprise of
Atlanta, engaged in the building of
freight and passenger ears and the
overhauling of locomotives, re

Afolie down of a hunt three months.
About one hundred men have been

(leorge G. Kohinson, of Winder,
the successful candidate for ordi
nary of (iwinr.ett county, s s the
talk of a contest did not cause him
the slightest uneasiness. *1 was
in Lawrenceville at the time,' says
Mr. Kohinson, “and when the
thought occurred to me that J was
the only aspirant for the office who
had announced in the Winder
Weekly News and you Bays had
made a cross mark in my left
shoulder with that hoo-dooed rab
bit’s foot, 1 knew that 1 was the
winner.”
WHAT IF MEANS.
t *
The election of Hon. .Jos. M.
Brown to thcygoveruorship on June
Ith, was one of the grandest victories
for the people in the history of this
great state.
The revulsion of sentiment in so
short a time indicates that the peo
ple have tired of the unsettled con
ditions, and have entered their pro
test against the tear-down policy of
radicalism.
It means the restoration of con
fidence, and that invested capital,
whether from within or without the
state, will have equal protection be
fore the law. It means that thou
sands of idle laborers will find prof
itable employment, and it means
that Georgia will again take her
place in the front rank of those
states which adhere to policies .that
arc sound, sane and conservative.
ROBINSON WINS IN (.WINNER
When George G. Robinson, of
this city, announced for ordinary of
Gwinnett, few of his stanchest
friends believed he could win. But,
undaunted, George pushed on,
speaking pleasantly of his oppo
nents and asking the suffrage of the
voters, and last Thursday, bv a ma
jority of 17, he won out over two
formidable contestants.
Mr. Robinson is being cangratu
lated on all sides upon his victory.
11 is opponents wen both good men.
Judge John I’. Webb, the ineum-
Ix-nt lias held the oflico for nearly
twelve years, and is considered by
many the best ordinary Gwinnett
county ever had.
Mr. Robinson is related to all the
Robinsons of Gwinnett county,
being the son of well-known-*'Bap
tist Bill" Robinson. <hi his moth
er's side, he is kin to John W. Farr
and Rev. G. L. Bagwell, of Rocky
Creek; Henry I). Miller, of Ben
Smiths; Rev. Hiram N. Rainey, of
Mulberry, and many others, all of
whom rendered him hearty sup
port-
CLIFFORD WAIMER WINS.
The nomination of Clift' Walker,
of the county of Walton, as solicitor
general of the Western circuit, was
a surprist to many in the circuit,
hut not to those who had closely
watched the campaign.
Asa campaigner, Cliff was ag
gressive and convincing, and he has
won a hard-fought battle. He is a
lawyer and a gentleman, and with
him at the helm the courts of justice
in flic Western circuit will grind
steadily on. We doff our hat to the
new solicitor with the full confi
dence that the state's business in
this circuit lias fallen in good hands.
May your administration he success
ful and pleasant, Cliff.
Solicitor General Tribble, who
goes down in defeat fought a good
light, though he lost. Sam has
held the office for four years and
lias made a good solicitor. Faith
ful to his duty, he has prosecuted
all eases before him in a fearless and
able manner, and has boon a terror
to evil doers. He has made a good
record, and his friends are proud of
bis achievements.
Col. M. D. Irwin, who also ran
in this race, received quite a num
ber of votes in the circuit, especial
ly in Cwinnett, his home county.
He is also, a good lawyer and a most
estimable gentlemen.
Editor Mercer, of The Fitzgerald
Enterprise-, defeated candidate for
prison commissioner and an ar
dent supporter iff Governor Smith,
says he has eaten no unwholesome
diet, but “felt a little puny” Fri
day. Mercer can be relied upon
to speak his convictions in tdit* fu
ture as he has done in the past. It
is no guess work to tell where he
stands on public questions. In vic
tory or defeat “lie’s u man for ae
that.”
RUSSELL FOR COMMITTED.
The friends of Mr. L.C.Russell are
suggesting his name as one of the
state executive confmittemen from
the Ninth congressional district.
Mr. Russell was an enthusiastic
supporter of Hon. Jos. M. Brown,
and has always taken an active
interest in polities.
When seen in regard to the mat
ter Mr. Russell said:
“ Yes, many of my friends have
spoken to me concerning the place.
It is an honor to he coveted. Jack
son county has held a place on the
committee for only two years, and
if a change is contemplated I would
certainly deem it an honor to serve
the party in this district."
