VOL. XXV. 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. A small quantity of Early Am ber Cane, 50 cents a peck at Mt. Vernon Drug Qo.'a. Uli? Mmtfymttm? ittmutm*.
