COMAS, Our Accomplished Assistant Postmistress, j The Verdict of the People. The Breeze has no apologies to make for its part in the campaign. It was for Estill. because it believed him the best man for the place. The people of tiie county thought so, too, and the very fact that.they v’oted as the Breeze did is conclusive evidence it was right. The people in other parts of the State, however, seemed to entertain a slightly differ ent opinion, and as Mr. Terrell’s forces were the best organized he was chosen governor of the State of Georgia, in spite of our efforts, therefore if the whole business goes to the bow-wows we shall have the satisfaction of knowing we did our duty, and Mr. Terrell is governor. It will be remembered, too, that we said in case of Estill’s failure to get elected, our second choice was Terrell. So, at last, we are victorious, and our star refuses to go down in defeat. Mr, Terrell goes into the conven tion with 196 votes, Mr. Estill with 66 and Mr. Guerry with 33. Mr. Terrell will be nominated on the first ballot. In regard to the County primary we have no changes to make from the report of last week. “Doant Raise Dem Dat Way.” The experience of the editor of the Marietta Journal, in his attempt to secure a negro woman to cook for his family, during his wife’s sickness, is applicable to other places as well. This editor accost ed a negro woman and inquired if she knew of any young negro girl that he could hire for the purpose stated, when she replied: “Idoan know any in dis town. AH de ole time niggers is dyin’ out mity fast, an’ de colored people ob dis time and day aint raisin’ de chillun to wait on de white foaks. Dey is raisin’ ’em fur sumpting else ’sides washin’, cookin’ and scrubbin’l” Now that woman “let .the cat out of the bag.” Still, her infor mation is not startling, but con firms the very truth of what has been long found out, in the South. The “old time niggers” were the best of their flock, and the ones that are being raised up to do “sumptingelse” are filling the jails, traveling the streets at night, prowl ing around tie camps, mills and turpentine farms, and robbing the debauchees of his money as the price of their lewdness. Oh, yes, we know there are exceptions, but they are very scattering, per haps one in a thousand that will not steal or play the harlot but they are hard to find. In towns “dese cullud ladies” do not depindj entirely on “pursons ob dere /ow,n culur” for support, in their crime and idleness, but draw pensions from some of the scions of respect- and prominence, whose characters are as dark as the skins of their partners in crime, and who are a disgrace to the mothers who gave them birth. The people of Coffee county do not feel honored by the attempt of the Atlanta Journal to place the county in the Terrell colnmn. The Atlanta Journal at last closed its report of the election returns with Coffee in the Terrell column, what he could not buy or win, but in the convention it will be seen that his vote is two less than claim ed. r —sj f ‘V W' '■'% MISS A. B. JOHNS The Patient ‘‘Central" of the Douglas Tel ephone Exchange. OBITUARY. Died on Saturday evening at 7 155 o’clock June 7th, 1902, at the residence tof hdr grand-parents, Hon. Thomas and Emily Young, near Broxton, of heart failure, Miss Rebecca Young, daught ' a of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Young. J' I 'die was twelve years of age, her usual good health, assisting her grandmother in domestic duties, when without a warning note, the death Angel came, and wafted her pure spirit home, to the God who gave it. She lived about one hour after Ahe fatal stroke. Iler last worgj, with her hand over her hen iff were “grandpa I am dying, myff>s are dead now.” A.t the age '{' f two years, she was takqn intothe home of her grand-parents, where she has ever since ' resided.

But God in his wisdom sfjiw prop er to call her up to a higher and purer life. While the flesh is weak, and the dear relatives cannot re frain from grief, they can jpake con solation in the knowledge that she is at rest, free from all snjires and privations ofj ■ sinful] world, apd at the Throne of God, can plead for the dear ones.left be hind, to live such lives on earth, as will finable them to joinvher in ! heaven,.: * Father, Mother, Grand-paren is and all, Weep not at the loss of Rebecca, ’Tis true’that earth in losing a Chris tian child, Is a gain of one at the heavenly mecca.

And a sigh for those who hate, What ever clouds above him. He’s the man for any fate.” And inasmuch as Col. Estill has friends in this county, proven by the majority received last week over his oponents, who do not re ceive the Savannah News, but read the Breeze, we publish the follow ing Card of Thanks : THANKS ; MANY THANKS. To My Fellow Citizens and Sup porters : I have replied by wire and mail to many of my have congratulated me on the race I made in the recent state primary, but: there are thousands to whom I am indebted for assistance and support in the campaign. These friends are scattered from the mountains to the sea, and it is impossible to write to each of them. I therefore take this means of returning to all of them my sincere thanks, assuring them of my deep appreciation of their good will and efforts. I had nothing to offer these friends be yond my promise to faithfully dis charge the duties of the high and honorable office to which I aspired, and they accepted that promise and voted for me. It was not their fault that I did not win the honor sought. I trust this brief acknowledgment of my grateful indebtedness will be accepted in the spirit it is made—as coming straight from the heart. To rny friends and fellow citizens of my dear Savannah I wish to say an additional word. I have lived among you from early boyhood. My life has been as an open book be- H fore you. You know my ings and outgoings.” And in this a i the first time I have asked for consicgc eration at your hands, you nob th gave me your hearty support. Jle ii was, indeed, one of the exc?t olyh£ to the biblical rule that a the it not without honor sav **propet country.” You, my fri^i n hislra honored me beyond any o ive people. ther c~ While I should have app most highly the honor of re flCar ' Governor of the Empire St*" et the South, had it been so 0 I have no regrets for havingt. lj( the contest for the nomination I .' : afforded me the opportunity . j comes to but few men, iff visiti nearly all sections of thor state, be--; ; coming acquainted \yjth its re sources and meeting‘lts people. There is no greater Geor gia and no better peoff i exist than those who dwell upon/ts mountain slopes, its plains and its seaboard. Any man honored with its gover norship ned no fur,her honor, and if he does his duty hnd endeavors to advance the interests of the whole people, aSw not his own interests and those/bf a few politi cal friends, he has, 4 trust which, if well discharged, % ill entitle him to an honorable plare in the history of j bis state. I return my .hanks to those of my brethren jf the newspaper fraternity who helped me in the canvass and cheered me in my efforts. The good words written by them, and/those spoken by other i friends, are ip themselves to repay m if for what labor anxiety I endured in iny cainpaig^H With heartfelt thanks to all, the grateful friend of mv J.
