RR. VV. H. FELTON.
The (hath of Dr. William 11.
Felton in his home at ( artcrsville
Friday afternoon closed a long and
illustrious career filled with exciting
incidents. Dr. Felton belonged to
the past.
Jle was an orator and a political
power in the early seventies when
i Georgia was emerging from recon
struction. In a retrospective re
view of hidi the Atlanta Georgian
says:
“In the death of Dr. William H.
Felton at the patriarchal age of 87 |
years, one of the most striking!
figures of his day and time in Geor
gia has passed from the seems of
his stormy political campaigns to
where ‘‘beyond these voices there is
| peace.”
“Physician, minister, congress-,
j man, publicist, orahu —he filled
: many roles, hut he filled them all
with brillant distinction*
‘‘The eloquence of Dr. Felton on
the stump is proverbial.
‘ It converted the Seventh district
of Georgia into out of the famous
battlegrounds of the republic.
“On the tloor of the national
, house lie was ready at a moment’s
notice to measure lances with any
foeman in debate —and he was al
ways the victorious knight.
"‘ln his congressional light Dr
j Felton was an independent Dcmo-
I erat and it was due entirely to his
superb equipment as a campaigner
that he defeated the regular nomi
nees.
“When his shoulders were stoop
ed and his locks were white he took
bis seat in the state legislature —
then past the age *f <>().
“Hut “the old man eloquent”
never arose to speak without elec
trifying the assemblage. The Pro-!
methian fire was still unquenched.
"In the momentary pauses each)
tick of the clock upon the walls!
could be distinctly heard.
"The colloquy between Dr. Tel
ton and Colonel Edgar G . Simmons,
jof Sumtort is one of the most'
familiar episodes of Georgia polities.
‘ And not since Mocaulay wrote
his essay upon Bareare has the
j equal of Dr. Felton’s invective been
I couched in Fnglish.
“It was due largely to the
Herculean energies of this states
i man from the mountains that t.l e
j Western and Atlantic railroad was
saved to the state of Georgia and
1 leased for another term of years at
jan increased rental.
The result was an extra $120,000
per annum for the common schools.
“Dr. Felton was also an uncom
promising friend of the State
i university, and the last time his
i voice was ever raised in public was
J when summoned to Atlanta in the
j summer of 1898 to address the gen*
j eral assembly on bclmlf of his alma
mater.
“In the quietude of home near
Cartersville he spent the tranquil
eventide of his days.
“The brilliant woman who for
more than fifty years had been his
; loyal helpmeet and companion—
i who had shared his warfares —who
(had divided his laurels —was at his.
I side when the end came.
“And the tenderest sympathies
of the entire state are hen? in this
hour of grief and loin 1 lino:<s
“Dr. Felton 's enemies have been
legion. Put the tender touch of
the years has softened most of the
latter memories; and even the
| harshest eritie in the light of his
tinished career could chisel upon
his monument —
“Here lies one who loves Geor
gia •”
A St. Louis woman who swallow
ed her false teeth twenty-five years
ago is complaining of pains in her
stomach. She ought to lyiow
what’s biting her- —Allentown (Pa.)

We suppose when her teeth begin
to come out the physicians will say
she is teething. —Orange (Tex.)
