The governors race absorbed so
much interest that the other candi
dates did not come in for much dis
cussion.
Hoke Smith is elected Governor
over Joe Brown. Bow to the ene
vitable, gentlemen —Take it in a
good humor and let all bitterness
die out.
With the republicans divided into
two factions “the regulars and in
surgents” the democrats should get
together, settle all differences and
do business.
Theodore Roosevelt left New
York at 10:30 a. in. Tuesday on a
tour of 5403 miles, on which he will
make many speeches. He is per
hapes the best advertised man in
the world today. The eyes of the
entire country will be upon him,
and his public utterances will be
watched with great interest.
The late erop reports are that the
August fruitage of cotton is heavy
except in Texas, Northern and cen
tral Georgia where shedding is caus
ed by dry weather. 801 l weavils
have destroyed considerable cotton in
Louisana and Southern Mississippi
but elsewhere have not been an im
portant factor with the crops —We
nope that the price of cotton will in
a manner compensate for the short
yield in this territory. A few of
our farmers report they will make
a good crop but the great majority
of them say their yield will he far
beloiv the average.
Stand shoulder to shoulder com
rades —Don’t let the governors race
divide you. We want to see a unit
ed people present a. solid phalanx
for the NEW COUNTY at the next
term of the legislature. It is con
ceedod that we made the best show
ing of any New County petitioners
in the state, and with our represen
tative pledged to us, we will Ik
much stronger than we were before.
This issue means more for Cochran
and surrounding country than any
man’s candidacy for governor —It
is alright for the victors to engage
in a little pleasantry and to exult
over their victory, but be careful of
your neighbors feelings. Those
who were defeated should be broad
minded enough to bow gracefully to
that defeat, realizing that you will
live under the same laws and con
ditions as those * who won their
choice.
Death of Dr.
A. W. Calhoun
Pr. A.W.Calhoun, the distinguished
Southern Oculist and peerless gentle
inan died in Atlanta Sunday morn
fng after a long protracted illness.
The death of this eminent speci
alist has spread universal sadness
not only throughout Georgia but
-the entile South.
* His benefactions to suffering hu
manity and his noble charity to
wards the needy extending far be
yond the confines of his native state,
mark him as a man among men,
pre-eniment for his supberb quali
ties of mind and greatness of soul.
The laurel leaves of victory may
be placed upon the brow of the con
queror and the plaudits of multi
tudes fall upon his ears and yet
down deep in his if he is a
man, a feeling of Widness spreads
over him, as he realizeshe nas mar
ched up the hill of fame, perhajk
oyer a thousand dead bodies of
hi 6 fellow men, and mingled wntfi
the plaudits of multitudes is the
cry of the orphans and the widows
and the mourning of strong men
bereft of comrades and fortune. I
say if he is a man (regardless of the
justice of his cause) a feeling of
sadness comes over him as he looks
l»aek upon his pathw'ay. strewn
w’ith the Ixidies of his fellow-man
and over fields made slippery with
the blood of patriots. A statesman
climbs the pinnacle of fame after
many a hard earned battle and
sees his foes go down in defeat. His
life perhaps is embittered and the
higher and nobler elements of his
nature dwarfed by the fierce conflict
of his many campaigns. But a man
like Dr. Abner W. Calhoun, whose
philanthropy has gladdened the
hearts of the poor and whose minis
trations to suffering humanity have
been a lioon to hiscountry, can look
back upon his pathway strewn with
the magnificient results of bis lofty
genius, and amid the • plaudits of
his countrymen, mingled with the
grateful praise of suffering humani
ty, he can lay down upon his couch
with the consciousness of a duty
well performed and a life that has
contributed much to the sum total
of this world’s good.
