Hon . Thos. M. Norwood
Speaks For South Ga.
Besides his personal merits Col.
Estill has a geographical claim
that should not be ignored. And
I now address the democrats of
North Georgia. Look over the
list of governors and U. S. sena
tors of Georgia for the last 75
years. How many governors and
senators have been from South!
Georgia? Take the governors,’
George M. Tr nip, elected in 1828,
re-elected 1825. 79 years ago, and
the last from South Georgia.
Take the senators —Troup m
1828: John McPherson Berrien,
who died 1856. The governor ap
pointed Judge Robert. M. Charl
tion to fill Judge Berrien’s unex
pired term; and in 1871 I was
elected senator, all-told, one gov
ernor within 79 years, and two
senators during the last 60 j'ears.
In those 79 years how many
governors have been chosen from
North Georgia? Every one unless
Herschel V. Johnson, of Jefferson
county and James M. Smith of
Muscogee, may pe classed as from
South Georgia. Is this right? Is
it fair play? Is it brotherly and
neighborly? North Georgia (de
signated by a line drawn east and
west through Macon) has no more
population, nor does it pay more
taxes than South Georgia. Why 1
then should all the high offices go
to North Georgia? Have you ever
thought of the parallel between
South Georgia in Georgia and the
South in the the Union? The
whole South is indignant over the
treatment we receive. We are the
backbone of the democratic party.
We do the voting and the north
ern democrats get the offices and
emoluments. South Georgia solid
ly democrats, does the voting and
north Georgia gets the offices,
honors and salaries.
It is time for you to be more liber
al and divide with South Georgia.
You should do so as a stroke of
policy even if you can not agree
that justice requires you to act.
South Georgia is growing in popu
lation and wealth much faster
than North Georgia. It will not
be long before South Georgia will
be able to get what she wants. As
you know, there are no Queens
bury rules that control politicians.
They say “every trick is fair in
politics.” So let us be a generous
and united brotherhood —let us
give as liberally as we take. Let
us act as a harmonious family
wherein selfishness shall not beget
selfishness. When one member of

the family, at every meal, take
nine-tenths of the pie, the other
members, though very amicable,
will get hungry after a while and |
then a family row—the worst of
all—will begin.
I address my remarks to the j
men whom the professional politi-:
! and the “ring” called “the wool- j
'hats, the mossbacks,” who are
not consulted in selecting candi
dates, but who are called on after
j the ring picks their man to do the
voting.
Sout Georgia presents to you as
candidate for governor a man who
111 judgement of business and of
men; in firmness and determina
tion to do what is right, 111 fear
lessness of consequences to him
self when he thinks he is right; in
freedom from obligation to
cliques, the ring and corporations
is the equal of any man in Geor
gia. If no more can be said of
any one of the other four candi
dates, than from the fact that,
South Georgia has been ignored
for more than 60years, you should
in all fairness and justice give the
perference to Col. Estill.
“Wisdom, Justice and Modera
tion” is our state motto. Let us
be wise in the selection of our gov
-1 eruor. Let us be just to each other,
and not be justly charged. A
family row —a sectional struggle—
is deplorable. “A house divided
against itself can not stand.”
That you may see in cold type
the staggering array of Governors
from North Georgia—saying noth
ing of the number of U. S. Sena
tors —I appended hereto a table
of names aud dates.

| IN MEMORIAM. j
I A Tribute to the Memory of Mrs.
T. J. Thompson, nee Miss Liz
zie Adams, daughter of Mr. G.
W. and Mrs. E. L. Adams,
j She was born April 17th, 1871,
I and died June 3d, 1906. In the
J midst of life we aro in death. I
! Surely this truth has forced itself 1 ,
lon us in this our sad hour, for she
j was just in the prime of woman
ihood, with a long, joyous future
j stretched out before her, and in a
few short hours is cut down, Jeav- 1
ing her little earthly home wrecked j
for the want of that guiding star, j
a wife and mother.
In God’s own good time we will
understand, not now, but in tho
coming years. It may be in the,'
better land we will know the j
meaning of our tears, and then |
we will understand why she was 1
called and the husband and five
little children were left desolate,
and deprived of her help to mount
the billows of life’s rugged sea.
But, dour ones, let us remember i
that she has only gone on before, j
and we must strive to meet her
Jon that golden shore, where, m a
dream, I saw the “little mother” >
greet her with outstrechod arms,'
welcoming her to that home where
she had preceded her three years, j
and where they have joined other ',
loved ones and look out over the
battlements of Heaven and beckon
us to conic.
“A precious one from us is gone.
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place made vacant In our home
That never can he filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
Though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Sweetest, thoughts shall linger ever !
’Round the grave where she is laid.!
It was h*rd lo part with her,
O, so hard to see her die,
But then we expect to meet her
In the sweet by and by.
There we’ll spend the countless ages,
Ever near our Savior's side,
There we’ll never know a sorrow,
There our tears will all be dried.”

VISITING NEIGHBORS' FARMS.
Every farmer should got out oc
casionally and visit, his neighbors’
farms, Every other business man'
makes it a point to know I lie men I
who are engaged in liis line of
work, and he profits by the ac
quaintance. The farmer who stays
at home all tho time is inclined to
get the idea that the sun rises and
sets for the particular benefit of
his individual patch of earth,
which means that he is in a fair
way to go to seed. Os course, when
a man visits another man’s farm,
he will not brag, criticise or gos
sip. If he goes in a friendly give
and-take spirit, lie will generally
find his neighbors quite ready to
explain how he grows more corn
to the acre than does the man on
the next quarter, or to show why
his poultry or his dairy brings
him a profit, wliercas they are on
ly a drain on the resources of too
many of his fellow-farmers. If is
; not safe to jump at the conclusion
I tlmt because a man grows more
corn to the acre than you grow his
soil is any better than yours. 111
nine cases out of ten he raises
more because he uses better seed
or because he has learned better
methods of cultivation. —Farm
