President Cleveland was forty-
nine years old last Thursday.
We heard the Gubernatorial ques¬
tion discussed this week and are
glad to say that Judge Thomas J
Simmons is the decided preference
of nearly every man that we heard
express himself. “We’ll take Sim-
mons in our’n.” No sounder safer
better man in the stiite. He is all
the way from the plow handles to
the judges bench and we hope from
the bench into the executive chair,
His qualifications for the high post-
tion ean’t be excelled in the state of
Georgia. His record is very good,
--------- -------- -
Judge Simmon** Position Lx-
plained.
Some partisan organ of Maj. Ba-
pon, has unkindly attempted to per-
vert the honorable proposition of
Judge Simmons to M«j. Bacon cob-
periling, their respi etive candidacy
for Governor, published in many
leading papers. The proposition
was made because it was felt ein-
barrassing, that one county ought
not present two candidates for Gov¬
ernor. Many people had said let
Bibb county settle,whom she prefers
of her own citizens. The proposition
made sought to settle only, for the
counties that spoke the choice 0 f
that section, as to which of her two
distinguished citizens was the.best
choice Of course it was never in-
tended to bind the state, because
the state might select neither and
should in every instance make
its own choice. It is unusual
for one county to present
two candidates, for so high an
office and we think it behooved
the section, to inform the J state
early the choice of that people. It
was no political trick, but the prop¬
osition was genuine, full of good
faith, an honest desire of Judge
Simmons, to ascertain the voice of
the home people as to whom, they
desired. It was due himself and
Maj. Bacon. Maj. Bacon should ac¬
cept or retire. His persistency, af¬
ter so fair a proposal, will result in
no good Mo him, but will only feed
the hopes of tied out horses, there
by tending to defeat the peoples
choice. The people do understand
the honesty of the proposition, and
will.show' by the selection of dele¬
gates to the convention, that the
proposition was genuine, and in
keeping with the integrity and
honor of Judge Simmons, the peo¬
ples choice for Governor.

fired with with the intent to fright¬
en McBride, but the expected fun
had a fatal termination which
east a gloom over two families, and,
perhaps, a shadow of remorse that
will follow the unfortunate actor as
long as life shall last. Keen Martin
is the son of J. C. Martin, who is one
of the most influential citizens of
our town, and McBride was a bright
boy about 15 or 16 years of age,
whose father and mother are both
dead. Our community was shocked
when the news was told and much
sympathy is expressed for all con¬
cerned.
A day or two ago Mr. R. H. Tow¬
ers, of Rome, was in the office of his
father, Colonel J. R. Towers, princi¬
pal keeper of the penitentiary. “I’ve
been over in Carolina,” be said, “and
a tlay or two ago I saw two bales of
cotton that were raised by slave la¬
bor during the war. It was raised in
1862 by Harvey Williamson, a plan¬
ter living at Rock Hill, twenty-live
miles south of Charlotte. It was
raised, ginned and packed by slave
labor and was packed in regular
war times fashion. In place of ties,
hickory withes were used. Mr. \Vil-
liamson kept the cotton under his
house because he did not need the
money. It could have been sold the
year it was made for 33)^ cents per
pound in gold, and many times since
then it would have brought a fine
price. Still Mr. Williamson held it.
At last he died, and his administra¬
tors sold the cotton at 8 1 -;, cents, the
lowest price that cotton of the same
quality had reached in the twenty-
three years. Thecotton was
by W. L. Roddy, of Rock Hill, and
was found to be in excellent condi¬
tion. It had been ginued on anold
horse gin that ran very slowly, and
the staple was not cut a particle.
Samples of the cotton will be sent to
the various exchanges of the coun¬
try.—Montezuma Record.
Monday morning, a Mac *n man
told the writer of Town Topics an
interesting story about a citizen of
Putnam county. He said that Mr.
Daniel Reddick and Mr. Wheeler,
both of Putnum, married sisters.
During the war Mr. Wheeler was
at the battle of Griswoldville.

'Bending Iris wife and four children

the war cl °sed, Mr. Reddick was

dick spent no time in idleness, but
went to work like a man. To day,
he is one of the wealthiest citizens
ot Iris county, his fortune going far
up into the thousands. The four
