CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Xzy Signature of GRIFFIN, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1904, THE SELF-EFFACEMENT OF A PA <. As fully foretold by the News and Bun a ecu oleos weeks ago, after the long and serious deliberation which the occasion demanded, Hon. John Temple Graves yesterday deliberately thrust from him the honors of the governorship of the proud State of Georgia, proffered by 19 citi zens of Waycross and others. It took two columns of his paper to explain why he did this, but the substance lies in the statement of the writer that “I have been so fortu nate in my short life to win enough of honor and of repute without the adventitious aid of public station.” This modest statement of his al ready elevated station is followed by a long enumeration of the high and lofty qualities required to be the proper sort of governor of this great commonwealth, all of which Mr. Graves gracefully acknowledges that he possesses, and says, “I would have grace to give Georgia a clean, brave, useful administration of its highest office.” Mr. Graves says that “the question of success or failure in the pri maries would not have weighed an hour on mv spirit, although I believe with all my judgment that on these issues I would have won,”bu ß p'eads ill health and large business interests as an excuse for resisting the importunities of “thousands of assuring friends.” We are fain to believe, however, that these are not the real reasons, since the great men of “the days of old—men like Stephens, Hill, Gordon and Colquitt,” to whom Graves alone in these degenerate times is compared and com parable, never allowed such things to stand in their way when they saw the ir duty so plain before them. Is it not possible that in that clear and logical mind of bis, when enumerating therequisitaa of a good governor, who should "hold office for a term of four years” before retiring, he saw that the present incumbent did not fall so far below the requirements that he should be thus summarily retired? Despite previous tendencies in that direction, after mature reflection Mr. Graves did not have a word to say in his retiring card against Governor Terrell; and we prefer to believe that it was the radium light of justice that illumined the soul of this last of the patriots and compelled this grand act of self-abnegation without which a worthy though less great Georgian would have been dis graced by not receiving the customary endorsement of a second plebiscite. We confess to some regrets that Mr Graves did not decide to run ; yet we would njt for worlds have missed that grandiose card of declina tion. It is magnificent, and it is Graves—all over. aumrr bidr bonullattobb. Sunny Side, Ga., Feb. 24.—Last Sunday was a rough day and for the fourth or fifth time in fifteen years no Sunday school was held at the Metho dist church and Rev. J. C.
