THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
OWEN PIKE’S
REPRESENTATIVE
TKIIUKMi. MK UK ITT, WILLIAMS
AM) STKVKXS Ol'.T THU
COUNTY'S VOTK.
The primary last Thursday
passed off very quietly, but the
deepest interest was shown
throughout the county in the
result, in the race for both county
and state offices. The registration
had run up to 1792, and thus a hig
vote was expected.
The result was received with
general rejoicing, and has given
greut satisfaction to the friends
of the successful candidates.
Probably the greatest interest
was felt in the race for the legis
lature. Mr. E. M. Owen who
enterred the race late, easily won
the nomination, carrying the
county by a majority of 295. In
his home precinct, Hollonville, he
received 91 votes out of 94 cast.
Out of 380 votes in Bartlesville,
he lost this precinct by two votes.
Out of 107 votes at Molena, he got
105. Out of 1387 votes for repre
sentative, his majority is 295.
Mr. Owen is a bright and prom
ising young man, whose strong
home endorsement commends
him warmly as a gentleman
worthy of the confidence which the
people of Pike county have placed
in him, and it is freely predicted
that he will make an admirable
record as a legislator and as the
representative of a noble demo
cratic constituency. The News-
Gazette heartily congratulates
him and people of the county on
his nomination.
!
Terrell carried the county by a
| plurality of 69. Hon. \V. B.
| Merritt for state school commis
sioner received 991 out of 1321.
Williams won over Eason for
prison commissioner by 600.
Nesbitt got only 154 votes against
Hon. O. B. Stevens 1147 for com
missioner of agriculture.
COUNTY OFFICERS.
In the race for sheriff, Mr. J.
H. Milner won out over Mr. B.
F. Wilder with a majority of 810.
Mr. J. T. Vaughn for tax
receiver received 586, and Mr. E.
M. Eppinger, the next highest
man 475.
Mr. J. E. Smith was nominated
coroner over Mr. J. L. Hamil, by
a majority of 112.
Mr. T. E. Strickland for county
surveyor received the highest vote
given any one, namely 1359. He,
of course, had no opposition, as
was also the case with Maj. J. T.
Hunt, for tax collector, who got
1855 votes. Mr. M. G. Harrison,
for treasurer, 1855, Dr. J. B.
Matthews, for clerk, 1858.
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett, our
popular congressman, received
1884 votes; Hon. A. S. Clay, for
the U. S. Senate, 1885; Hon. W.
A Worsham, for state senator,
1844; Hon. E. .T. Reagan for
judge 1281; Lumpkin and Cobb,
for justices supreme court, respect
ively, 1827 and 1807; Cook, for
secretary of state, 1848; Bark for
treasurer, 1848; Hart for attorney
general 1848; Wright for comp
troller general, 1846.
No effort was made to carry the
county for Col. Estill for govern
or, but he received 168 votes,
while Guerry received 467.
The people of the county are
well pleased with the result as a
whole and have now turned their
attention to other and, maybe,
better things.

IMI’ItOVK ITS qi AKTEKS.
Last Friday the First National
Bank bought the two story brick
building, corner Maine and Zebu
lon streets, in which the bank is
now located, and on the same day
let the contract for very impor
tant improvements in the banks
quarters. The bank was repre
sented in these deals by Vice-Presi
dent W. B. Smith and Cashier
J. A. McCrary.
The property is a valueable one
and splendidly located for a bank.
The improvements to be made will
still further greatly enhance its
value.
As soon as the work can be done
the vault will be moved to the
rear end of the building, the door
for the main entrance put in the
center of the front instead of in
one side, a door made for Zebulon
street entrance about where the
second window now is, and fine
bank fixtures put in throughout.
A large space will be reserved in
the front end for customers desks.
Plate glass will take the place of
the present glass and windows and
other important improvements
made which will make it a hand
some banking house.
The officials are enthusiastic
over the First National’s present
and future and they are giving its
affairs their best attention.
tion were appointed as follows:
J. Q. Nash, E. M. Owen, W. A.
Strickland, S. R. Green, with E.
A. Stephens, J. B. Madden, C. R.
Gwyn and Early Owen as alter
nates.
Messrs. J. B. Madden and F.
M. Stafford were appointed to
attend the senatorial convention
and instructed to vote for a change
in the present plan of nominating
a senator. The present plan al
lows the whole district to vote for
any candidate in the county en
titled to the nomination under
the rotation system. The executive
committee instructed the delegates
to favor the plan of leaving the
nomination entirely to the county
furnishing the senator.
A large delegation was appoint
ed to attend the congressional
convention, but we have been
unable to secure the list.
The following are some of the
appointees: Messrs. W.M. How
ard, F. M. Stafford, B. H. Hardy,
W. A. Strickland, S. R. Green, C.
O. Summers, I J . J. Blake, G. T.
Welden, T. M. Allen and I. C.

Anew democratic executive
committee for Pike county was
elected at the primary and the
members met and organized im
mediately after the old commit
tee had finished its business. The
new committee is practically the
same as the old. Mr. F. M. Staf
ford was elected chairman and Mr.
S. R. Green secretary.
TOM WATSON FRIDAY NIGHT.
Will Ilecture to One of the Au
diences Ever Asm'iii tiled Here.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson will de
liver his lecture, “The South,” at
the Opera House Friday night.
The sale of seats already assures
one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled here.
Electric fans will be used and
the rooms will be made cool and
comfortable.
Wednesday’s Atlanta Constitu
tion speaks very highly of Mr.
Watson’s lecture in Atlanta, of
how be magnified the South’s
record as regarding many mooted
questions. It says Mr. Watson
entertained fully 800 people for
| two hours, by his subtle magnet
ism and eloquence, which is essen
tially his own.
Those who hear Mr. Watson
Friday night will probably heer
.something that the people of this
j city and section are seldom privil-
I eged to do. |
