(Tom CobbY.recent speech in New
York, in which he declared himself for
Tom Watson for vice president, seems
to have so well commended him to the
populists that they are now leaning to
him as the proper man for them to se-
lent as a candidate to oppose Congress
man Livingston. It is said that the
plan is for Mr. Cubb to enter the race
as an independent candidate and his
candidacy to he indorsed by the Pop
ulists. As to this plan, the Enterprise
earnestly hopes it will never material
ize. We would deeply rrgret to see
this geninl and gifted scion of the ill us
trious Cobb family, with his bright
promises of a brilliant career, meet
oul) with over whelming defeat and
evei lasting disfavor. Steer clear of

The unusual heat and drought for
the past three weeks has reduced the
ouce line prospects of the cotton crop
in this section to about the poorest
prospect 1 have ever seeu io this coun
try.
The family of Mr. Alleu Cioweil is
sorely alllicted with that terrible
scouige, typhoid fever, while little Ro
sa .Joues is only partially recovered
from a four weeks seige of it, and Mr.
T. N. Phillips is laid up heavily threat
cued with an attack.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hester, former
ly of this section, but now of Florida,
are spending a few weeks with rela
tives and friends here.
Mr. S P. Hooteti has put up his
large new engine at Frisky and put
his giti’s iu order for the cotton season.
Mr Green Bryans has also put bis
machinery iu order at Beersheba and
both of them are prepared to put up
cotton in the most approved style.
Mr. M. W. Dickerson is erecting a
good tenant bouse on his farm t<> be
occupied next year by Mr. James Da
vies, who moved from here to Newton
county last winter.
Tilt: Wkkki.v complimented its cor
respondents last week, and modestly
asked for subscriptions and news items
from the different localities. Whether
the compliment was a deserved one or
not, the request was certainly a reason
able one. The county paper ought to
have the patronage and co operation
of every citizen of the couuty. But
he who writes locals may expect to be
censured, criticised, ostracised and al
most anathematized unless he can tell
the news from the sectarian religious,
and partisan political standpoint of the
religious and political bosses of his
locality. This I cannot do, and Psalm
C. 1. X, verses 1 to (!, tells the rest.
Read it if you like.
I'here is iu this neighborhood one
victim of government oppression aud
old party misrule that ought to have
the special sympathy of all our great
reformers (?). Only a few years ago
he was farming on shares and his pos
sessions consisted of a wife and several
small children, hut after a while he got
to owning a mule aud renting his laud,
and six years ago he bought a sixty
acre farm for the low price of $1)00
All the while he pursued the unwise (?)
policy of leaving the management of
the public affairs of the couuty, state
and nation to the people's chosen
agents, while he and his family devoted
their time to solving the great labor
problem by the exercise ol their strong
arms aud active limbs, and as a result
he lias his farm paid for, well improved
and producing flue crppg every ymar,
and Lis a sum of mode): al&ad.
Kveu in thiifpitiable (?) condition he
is still too proud to beg and he has
not authorized me to bring his case
before the public; hut I diubt not if
any of the “relief reformers” have any
old cast off clothes to give away they
would be acceptable to him, on hog
killing days anyway. This uufortu
nate victim is no ether than Mr. Sam
Austin.
Since The Atlanta Journal has fol
lowed the crowd into the camp of con
tusion aud took to training in the Con
stitu ion school, it has learned that
Tom Watson is a geutleman of honor
and Seah Wright has a fine character
and I have about decided to only sub
scribe for papers three months at a
time iu future.
If Seab Wright ever really had a
Hue character I think it is aptly illus
trated by the story of an Irish servaut
girl who was in great distress on an
out going steamer from Loudon be
cause she had lost the recoinmendatiou
she received ou leaving her last home,
when she met with a fellow country
man who in great sympathy told her
“Niver moiud me darlint I will write
you another one,” which he proceeded
to scroll off in the following words:
“This is to certify that Katie O'llrian
had a gooJ character ou leaving her
last home iu London, but she lost it
while coming over on board the steam
er.” Rikai..

met at the court house last Friday and
unanimously endorsed McKinley and
Hobart, Governor Atkinson and all the
democratic county nominrs. with Thos.
D. Stewart for the senate and Paul
Turner for representative. It was a
meeting of the republican county ex
ecutive committee, and all districts
were well represented, uotahly Stock
bridge and Hampton. Good talks were
made by 11. L. Johnson of Jackson, F.
J. Wimberly of Hampton, 11. C. Brown
and 11. A. Holland of McDonough
Wimberly’s speech was the feature
of the meetiug, and and ! t was listened
to attentively from begiani ig to end.
He spoke of each democratic nominee
>n complimentary terms, and especially
so of Messrs. Stewart, Turner and Mc-
Kibbon The action of the republican
state central committee in not putting
out a state ticket was also endorsed.
The Henry countyrepublicans know the
difference between principle and the
