Parker Not
a Candidate.
During the past few months
reports have been sent our to the
effect that Judge Thomas A. Par
ker of Waycross would enter the j
race against Congressman ' Wm.
G. Brantley of the Eleventh Dis
trict for congressional honors.
From the following report sent
out from Waycross it is definitely
understood that Judge Parker
will not be a candidate for Con
gress, but instead is a candidate
for re-election to the judgeship of
the (new) Waycross Circuit:
Waycross, Ga , April 80. —In
view of the persistency of the re
ports concerning Judge T. A
Parker’s attitude on a congres
sional race in the Eleventh dis
trict, and in response to a direct
question of whether he wouold
make the race, he replied in the j
negative.
It has been known for some
time that very strong pressure was
being brought to bear upon him
in order to get him to become a
candidate, and that, after lirst de
clining to consider the matter, bv
requests of his friends he toon it i
under advisement before making I
any announcement, and his an
nouncement ' to-day is a disap
pointment to his friends through
out the district, although it is un-i
derstood that he has always stated 1
to his personal and political
friends that, personally, he would
prefer not to make the race.
When seen to-day Judge Parker
stated:
“I regret to disappoint my j
friends and fellow citizens who
have urged me to make the race -
for Congress. 1 deeply appreciate
their promises of support and in
fluence, and it is gratifying to |
me to know that I haye their con
fidence and esteem. I shall con- j
tmue to endeavor to merit same.
I would like very much to respond 1
to the call of my fellow citizens. !
but after due consideration 1 do ;
not feel that I can permit the use
of my name as & candidate for
Congress at this time.
“Then, too, as an additional j
reason, the people realizing that
the large circuit over which I
presided for seven years was over
taxing my strength and endurance,
they, through their representa
tives, divided the circuit so as to
make it possible for me to con
tinue in the office of judge of the
Superior Court Now that the
circuit is divided, and believing
that no office in the gift of the
people is more honorable or af
fords greater or more opportuni
ties for accomplishing good, and
feeling that I can better serve the i
interests of the people, for the j
present, in the capacity which I
am now serving them, I have;
reached the conclusion that I will j
agaiu stand for renomination as j
judge of the Waycross Circuit. ’’
CONFEDERATE VETERAN FOR
REPRESENTATIVE.
The voters of Montgomery will
have an opportunity of showing
honor to a veteran of the Lost
Cause in the candidacy of Rev.
T. B. Winham for the Legisla
ture, as seen by his card in this
issue.
Mr. Winham is well and favor
able known to the people of thi
aud adjoining counties as a God
fearing and upright citizen, stand
ing for right and progress, and t
for the welfare of his sounty and
people. It is needless to say that i
Mr. Winham, if elected to this
place of honor, would serve the
county in an honorable and cap
able manner. He is a veteran of
the Gray, and during the bloody!
sixties fought as only a Southern ,
soldier fought. He has <-ver main
tained a keen interest in the at-1
fairs of his county and her people,
and is anxious to serve in tin
capacity of representative. His
home is on the west side of the
count}’, and he will claim a larg*
following.

physicians could do, but alas! the

him as his own. His remains (
