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.
