We noticed among the Royston locals last weeek, a very compli¬ mentary mention of Prof. W. II. Cobb, of this place intimating that it was very likely that he would make the race for senator from the 31st senatorial district, and that lie would doubtless be the nomi¬ nee of the democratic party with¬ out opposition. Until we saw the article.in your paper we hud heard very little said about politics and had not heard of any names be¬ ing mentioned inconnection with any office. Since seeing your pa¬ per I have been in Toccoa, Lavo¬ nia and other places in the senato¬ rial district, and have made con¬ siderable effort to find out who would be the choice of peoplee or at least who the leading democrats of the district, and. especially of Franklin County, thought would make the best race. From the in¬ terviews I had in the different sec¬ tions and the most iufiluential and leading uieu of each place,'; I find that W. II. Cobb is beyond ai- doubt + he most popular man that can be thought of, and that if he should decide to make the race we believe that ho would carry the election by* the largest major¬ ity of any man that lias held the office for years. Prof. Cobb has many staunch friends in the Pop¬ ulist party who w'ould not only vote for him but would use their influence in every way possible. We feel no hesitation in saying that if Prof. Cobb will allow his name to go before the people that he will go in office by an over¬ whelming majority. Citizen.
