WHY NOT LAMBDIN ?
It is expected that Hon. If. T.
Lewis, one of the just ices of the
Supreme Court of (ieorgia, will
soon resign on account of his health
Several eminent lawyers of the
state have already been mention
ed as his successor, but there are
scores of others throughout the
state who are just us well quali
fied and just ns deserving as those
already mentioned.
One of these is Col. W. W. Lamb
din, of Barnesville. This imme
diate section of the state has never
been thus honored, and none can
question that as a lawyer and as
u Christian gentleman Col. Lamb
din would honor a season Gcojgia s
Supreme Court.
He is an alumnus of the State
University and since his gradua
tion he lias been a diligent student
of law, having also had a large
and valuable experience in its
practice, which juip him admir
ably for the position.
Only a few days since one of
the leaders of the Macon bar
stated that Col. Lambdin was re
guarded as one of the strongest
and best equipped lawyers who
practised before the United States
court there.
He has never sought or held
any similar official position but
neither had Judge Lewis and other
Supreme court justices before they
were elected to the position.
The Nkws-Gazkttk would be
glad to see Col. Lambdin selected
as the successor of Judge Lewis.
THE NOMINATION.
The nomination <>n June sth.
of the state ami county officers
passed off quiet ly but deep inter
est was taken in it by the people
of <he entire state.
In the gubernatorial race, Hon.
J. M. Terrell carried about 80
counties with ID<*> votes, Col. J. H.
Estill !15 counties with 88 votes
and Hon. Dupont Guerry 22 coun
ties with about 00 votes. Thus it
will be seen that Mr. Terrell will
lw> ( M Oiwl if

is freely predicted that lie will
make a most admirable executive.
Prof. W. B. Merritt made a sur
prisingly fine race for state school
commissioner and won the nomi
nation easily. He will demon
strate the wisdom of the people's
selection. He is a splendid man
in every way and the people of
Pike rejoice over his success.
In the other contests for state
house offices, Hon. 0. B. Stevens
by an almost unnuminous vote
won for commissioner of agricul
ture and Hon. Tom Eason has a
large majority for prison commis
sioner.
In county matters interest was
deep, and the large majorities in
dicate the satisfaction felt over
the results. The county will have
a set of splendid officials and the
people of the county have gener
ally expressed themselves pleased
with the primary.

ATTEND COMMENCEMENT.
Sunday begins the 80th Gordon
Institute Commencement and
Presdeut Oliphant and his faculty
have provided a programme that
I will afford splendid entertainment
Sto those who will attend the
: exercises.
It is a good time for the Newh-
Gazkttk to tell the citizens of
Barnesville what they already
know —that Gordon Institute is
an institution of which any people
should be proud, and it is worth
far more to the little city than
we are accustomed, in these latter
days, to credit it with. No one
can tell how much it has done for
the manhood and womanhood of
Georgia, during the last half cen-
Jtury; neither can any one say
what would have become of Barnes
j ville during this same time but
for the success which has attended
Gordon Institute. Itmaybethat
during the past decade the people
hero, as elsewhere have become so
absorbed in things commercial, j
that they have to a more or less ;
j extent lost interest in the higher!
and nobler life. As Barnesville j
has grown in population and ex-!
panded in business, this splendid j
educational institution may have ;
become somewhat crowded out of
the affection of the people who
should remain true and steadfast
in their devotion to it. If so,
j t here should be a sincere repen
tance and a resolution made to
stand faithfully by this grand old
school for the future. Gordon
Institute certainly deserves the
staunchest support from every
citizen of Barnesville and commu-
nity. Its interests should be
advanced, at the sacrifice of other
things, if need be. Its prosperity
and progress should enlist the
sympathy and activity of every
citizen all the time. •
To this end, let the citizens,
men, women and children, of
Barnesville, attend commence
ment exercises. This will create
an interest and will encourage the
faculty and pupils and accom
plish good for tho school and for
the little city.
I*rof. Wright (Jot's to Dublin.
The hosts of friends of Prof. \V.
C. Wright will read the following,
which was a special in last Thurs
day's Telegraph, with much inter
est :
“Dublin, June I —Yesterday
afternoon Prof. W. C. Wright,
superintendent of the Covington
public schools and county schools
commissioner of Newton county,
was elected principal of the Dublin
public schools by the board of
education.
By invitation of the board Prof.
Wright visited Dublin last Satur
nav. The members of the board
were highly pleased with him.
and his election yesterday was
unanimous.
Prof. Wright is known as one of
| the best educators in the state.
He has been in Covington for the
past eight years.”

WRECK AT JULIETTE.
Two Southern Trains Collided Near
This Place and Ilesulted in the
Death of Engineer and Fireman
The south-bound passenger train
from Atlanta, due in Macon at
2:25 p. m., crashed into a freight
train going from Macon Tuesday
afternoon at 1 :51 o’clock. Jwo
people were killed and a score in
jured. The trains were running
in opposite directions and met
within 200 yards of the Juliette
side track. The passenger train
was under orders to meet the
freight at Dames’ Ferry, several
miles on the Macon side of Ju
liette. The freight train was try
ing to get into the Juliette siding,
instead of waiting at Dames’.
The engineer and fireman on
the passenger train were both
killed and several passengers!
wounded.
An Enjoyable Ride.
A number of young of people j
went on a straw ride to Miss Hat- 1
i tie Jordan’s home in the suburbs
of the city last Wednesday even
ing. A jolly crowd of young peo
ple was formed and all got in the
band wagon, then proceeded tp
ride around the city. After this ;
left for Miss Jordan’s about nine
o’clock. On arriving there they
were hospitably entertained by her.
Her home was thrown open and
everything was done to make the
party enjoy themselves, which
they did to the fullest extent.
After they had remained there
sometime amusing themselves with
various games, music and other
things, they departed for the
city. The ride back was eqtfally
as pleasant as going. The occasion
was one of great pleasure and fun
to all who were participants in
the affair. Those composing the
happy party were:
Mrs. W. C. Stafford, chaperon;
Misses Dunlap and Dexter, of
Florida; Miss Willis, of Alabama;
Misses Priscilla Stroud, Annie
Lambdin, Olive Williams, Lucile
Blackburn, Alva Porch, Nettie
! Matthews, Edith Seltzer and Mary
Ella Coppedge; Messrs. George
Mitchell, Pearce Hammond, Jack
son Bush, Broughton Hardy, Roy
Blount, Gus bush, Clarence Willis
and John Holmes.
A Beautiful City.
Mr. James M. Cochran, who has
been traveling Mississippi, Louis
iana and other territory for
Messrs. Jackson G. Smith it Sons’
buggies, returned home Saturday
to remain here a few days and
rest up. He says he has had a
good time and done some nice
business. He says that Barnes
! ville is the prettiest little "city he
has seen in all his travels, and
that it will compare favorably
[with anything on the map. Mr.
Cochran has been cordially greeted
by the people of the community.
Thai Gold spoon.
There are scmie men who seem to be
favorites of fortune. They are indus
trious, cheerful workers, full to over
flowing of the energy of splendid health,
and success seems fairly to drop into
their hands. It is of such as these that
. the less hardy
and less success
' largely due to
splendid health, the endowment of a
healthy mother.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription gives
the mother health to give her child. It
cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless
ness. It makes the body comfortable and
the mind content. It gives physical
vigor and muscular elasticity so that the
baby’s advent is practically painless.
" I will endeavor to tell you of the many
benefits I hare derived from faking Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. B E. Robert
son. of Medicine Lodge. Barber Cos., Kans. "In
the fall of ISOO I was expecting to become a
mother ami suffered terribly with pains in the
back of head ; in fact I ached all over. Suffered
with awful lwariugdown pains; I was threat
eued for weeks with mishap. A lady friend
told me to use Dr Pierce's medicines. She had
taken them and felt like anew woman. I began
using the * Favorite Prescription ' and took four
bottles before my liaby came and two after
wards 1 suffered almost death with my other
two children, but hardly readied that' I was
sick when this baby was horn and she weighed
twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now
eleven months old and has never known an
hour's sickness; at present she weighs thirty
seven pounds I owe it oil to Dr. P*-rev's
Favorite Prescription." x
”Favorite Prescription” makes weak
women strong, anti sick women well.
Accept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the
most desirable laxative for delicate
women.

A Newspaper Not a Free Horse.
The Knoxville Sentinel contains
the following very sensible edito
rial on newspapers, and how a
certain class views them :
“It is astonishing how the pub
lic looks upon a newspaper as a
free horse to be ridden to death.
People will pay money for a band,
for lights, janitor, go to a job
printing office and buy thousands
cf dodgers, pay boys to carry them
around, pay performers in the en
tertainment, if they are profes
sionals, or pay some manager a
large percentage of the receipts to
get up the affair, pay all their
bills, in fact for everything except
for that which is most useful to
them to-wit, newspaper advertis
ing. And if the newspaper is un
willing to devote more notice to
entertainments than liberal news
notices, it conies in for much
abuse. And yet, why should not
the newspaper charge for its ad
vertising space just as the owner
of the hall charges for the rent,
the bill board man charges for the
use of his boards, the lithograph
ers charge for furnishing the
posters, the job printing office
! charges for the dodgers and the
outside parties charge for their
services?
LEADS THEM ALL.
One Minute Cough Cure beats all
i other medicine I ever tried for coughs,
colds, croup aud throat and lung
troubles,” says I>. Scott Currin of
Loganton, l’a. One Minute Cough
Cure is the only absolutely safe cough
remedy which acts immediately.
Mothers everywhere testify to the good
it has done the little ones. Croup is
so sudden in its attacks that the doctor
often arrives too late. Itjyields at once
to One Minute Cough Cure. Pleasant
ito take. Children like it. Sure cure
for grip, bronchitis, coughs.
