THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE.
Until within the past week or
two, the people of Pike county
have taken but little interest in
the gubernatorial race. They have
had other matters to consider,
which have occupied their time
and attention,.
But it is different now. The
people realize that it is important
that they should be careful in
selecting a man to fill the gov
ernor’s office of the great state of
Georgia. There are three candi
date for the nomination for gov
ernor, namely, Hon. J.JM. Terrell,
of Meriwether; Hon. Dupont
Guerry, of Bibb, and Hon. J.H.
Estill, of Chatham, all three good,
strongmen, well able and worthy |
to fill the high office
There is considerable sentiment
for Col. Estill among the business
m6n and citizens generally, for
they recognize him as u man who
would make a fine executive and
who would give the state a splendid
business administration, which
eems to be very much needed at
this time. Col Estill, however,
is not very well known in the
county and hence the race here is
practically between Mr. Terrell
and Mr. Guerry.
At this time it seems to be close
between Guerrv and Terrell, both
have many warm supporters
throughout the county.
It is stated that Mr. Guerry has
gained considerable strength re
cently, especially among the coun
try voters. The statement that all
the railroads, all the liquor dealers
and all the politicians are support
ing Terrell has had a tenden
cy to make votes for Mr. Guerry.
On the other hand Mr. Terrell has a
strong following on account of
his well know ability and purity of
public and private iife.
For our part, while we are not
so much interested in one candi
date that we cannot soe the worth
and**bilit.y of t he others, we would
be glad to see Mr. Guerry carry
l'ike county, especially since Mr.
Estill will not be a factor in this
county. Mr. Guerry is in full
sympathy with the cause of the
common people. He is a brave,
pure man and would give to the
state an administ rat ion that would
be in the interests of the masses
of the people.
In the House, says the Wash
ington Post, there are 1 wo hrol hers
serving together and in the Senate
two of the Senators are cousins.
In neither house, however, are
father and son serving side by side.
This was the case in the Senate
when Thomas F. Bayard waseleced
in His father was also a
senator at the same time. There
are numerous instances in the his
tory of the Senate where sons suc
ceeded their fathers, .1. Donald
Cameron succeeded Simeon Cam
eron from Pennsylvania, but the
most remarkable instance of suc
cession was afforded in the ease of
the Stockton from New Jersey.
Richard Stockton was the first of
the family to enter t he Senate, and
was followed by his son. Robert,
who in turn, was succeeded by his
son, John P. Stockton. The Bayard
family of Deleware was also well.
represented in the Senate. Jumeg
A Bayard and his son James H.
Bayard and Richard H. Bayard
and his eon, Thomas' F. Bayard, j
were all senators from'that state, j
. o-ua^ETTE
HON. CHARLES L. BARTLETT.
On June sth. the people of the
sixth congressional district of
Georgia will nominate, and later
I elect as their representative in
the 58th congress, Hon. Charles
L. Bartlett, of Bibb county, who
is now ending his third term in the
national house of representatives.
This will he the case, whether
he has opposition or not, for his
record as congressman has been
entirely satisfactory to his const
uents. In fact, we do not believe
there is a congressman from Geor
gia who is so popular with the
individual voter. Congressman
Bartlett is an able, fearless and
faithful representative he has
won the admiration, endorsement
and the warm personal friendship
of the people to such an extent
that he is practically invincible.
Since lie lias been representing
them nothing that he could possi
bly do for the people of the dis
trict or state has been left undone.
He has been diligent in behalf of
the various communities which
have made known to him any of
their wants. The humblest citizen
has in Mr. Bartlett a personal rep
resentative at the capital city and
in all li is legislative career, in
Georgia and at Washington city,
he has demonstrated that the
cause of the people is dear to his
heart and he is brave and true in
supporting and defending their
interest. The people of this dis
trict are proud of their congress
man and when the day arrives for
casting their ballots, no candi
date wi 11 be more heartily and en
thusiastically supported and en
dorsed than Hon. Charles L. Bart
lett for a fourth term in the Con
gress of the United States.

A farmer in the town of Urbana,
Me., noticed the other day a black
spot on the back of one of the
sheep, says the Brooklyn Times.
When he went to look at it the
spot instantly disappeared. Then
another black spot appeared for
an instant on the sheep's back,
and as quickly went out of sight.
This time the farmer saw that the
black spot was a mouse, and
while he was looking at the place
where it had been the third black
spot came into sight at the same
place on the sheep's back, and
disappeared as the others had.
Then Farmer Bailey thrust his
hand down into the sheep’s thick
coat of wool, and found three
snug and cozy mouse nests, each
with a newborn litter of young
ones in it. He lost no time in
breaking up those old mouse col
onies, and then looked over others
of his sheep, with the result that
ten nests were found in all, con
taining an aggregate of eighty
young mice. The sheep seemed
not only to mind the presence of
the mice nest in their lleeces, but
acted as if they were not pleased
with their removal and the de
struction of their contents.
WHOOPING COUGH.
A woman who has had experience
with the disease, tells how to prevent
any dahgerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
hoy being only three months old, ar.d
owing to giving them Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, they lost none of their
plumpness and came out in much bet
ter health than other children whose
parents did not use this remedy. Our
oldest little girl would call lustily for
| cough syrup between whoops.—Jessie
Pinkney Hall, Springfield, Ala. This
Remedy is for sale by • v
.Txo. H. Blackburn.
This is the way a Missourian
! confessed at a camp meeting.
He was pressing hard to repent
and at last got up. “Dear friends”
said Bill, “I feel the spirit mov
ing me to talk and tell what a bad
man 1 have been, but I can't do
it while the grand jury is in ses
sion.” “The Lord will forgive
you,” shouted the preacher.” “I
guess that's all right,” said Bill,
“but he ain’t on the grand jury.”
