Will be the Next Nominee,
LaGrange Reporter.
Notwithstanding a number of the
papers in the State are opposed to
Wm.R. Heast, there are many,
and the Reporter is among them
who believe that Hearst will be the
next Demooratic nominee. In our
opinion, Hearst is one of the great
est living Americans today. He
stands for the people and against
the trusts. He has made a tremen
dous success of his own business,
and is a man that could easily car
ry the Democratic banner to vic
tory.
A Former Pike County Justice
Dies.
The remains of Hon. J. T. Lowe,
justice of the peace in the Vineville
district, were laid to rest Saturday
afternoon in the Ruthland district,
some eight miles from Macon in the
old family graveyard, Judge Lowe
was in the 55th year of his age, and
his death was a surprise to Macon
lans, who knew nothing of his dan
gerous illness. Born in Dallas
county, Ala , near Selma, in the lat
ter *4OV, Mr. Lowe passed the early
years of his life. Naturally stud
ious and full of ambition, he went
to work, and within a short tirn«
convinced those about him that he
was determined to accomplish some
thing. In the ’7o‘s he moved to
Georgia and eventually became a
cit zen of Pike county, where he soon
showed those about him that be was
destined to become a leader among
those with whom he was associated.
He had a predilection to law and
while he was not a member of the
bar he aspired to a judicial position
and was elected a justice of the
peace tor and in that district. He
occupied the position for years with
credit to bimself and when he came
from the chair it was said of him
that not a single decision he had
made was reversed. Judge Lowe
moved to Macon some eight years
ago and located in Vineville, selec
ting Holt avenue as his place to re
sidence. He has been eminently
successful in his work in that sec
tion and his death is generally de
plored.
