Little Mercer Bellah, twelve year old son of Mr. W. A. Bellah, met his death in a most tragic manner last Friday morning at eleven o'clock. He was in the wagon with an elder brother. In the wagon was a box containing a calf and a pig and on this box little Mercer was seated, when the calf grew rest less and[suddenly moved the box. The little boy was thrown from the box upon the traces; this started the mules to running and Mercer fell beneath the wheels of the wagon. Before the mules could be halted, the wagon had gone over him and crushed him so badly that he died with an hour. He is survived by his parents and sev eral brothers and sisters. The burial was at Union church in Rockdale county Saturday af ternoon at 3 o’clock. CAMP MEETING FRIDAY WEEK.

This will probably be the last meeting held under the old “tent;” for it will give way to an entirely new structure before another year rolls round. A large crowd will no noubt at tend ahd the meetings will be prayerfully and hopefully antici pated by many. CHARLES T. ZACHRY CHAPTER REMEMBERED. In our account in last week’s issue of the annual reunion of the Confederate Veterans of Henry County we unintentionally made two omissions. This was due to the fact that these things were not given to us in the report of the meeting re ceived by us. The resolution which was re ported as having been passed es pecially inviting the Joe Wheeler Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, of Stockbridge r to attend and participate in the next reunion, should also have includ ed The Charles T. Zachry Chapter, of McDonough. Mr. W. H. Bryans introduced the resolution and it extended the invitation to both. We are glad to make this cor rection, for we have often heard many of the Veterans speak in glowing terms of gratitude of the great and kindly tasks which this Chapter has performed for the old soldiers; and of the pleasure occasioned by their presence and assistance at former reunions. Then we failed to state that the exercises opened wjjth a powerful and beautiful prayer by the Rev. T. J. Bledsoe; and that he was also one of the speakers who spoke entertainingly of his expe riences in the war. Miss Leila Scott Breathes t Her Last. Yield* in Long Eight With Death Monday Mori ing. The summer Sabbath r lipped a vay and the gentle spirit of Miss Leila Scott seemed to linger with it but at 4 o’clock Monday morning, she bade farewell to earth and sought the glory shores beyond. She passed away at the home of her father, Dr. D. W. Scott. i Mi ss Ijeiln had been seriously ill and [in almost constant pain for [several months, and every thing and all skill within human reach were exercised to save her, but in vain. Hers was a beautiful life, whose beauty seemed to be more clearly disclosed by suffering. With true Christian fortitude and resignation she suffered in silence and with out complaint. She was universally liked and will be' as universally missed. Her father, Dr. D. W. Scott, and brother, Dr. A. R. Scott, sur viye her, the mother having “gone on before.” The funeral and interment were at the McDonough cemetery Tues day morning at 10 o’clock, the Rev. W. W. Arnold conducting the funeral.

I "hereby 'announce my candidacy for the office of state treasurer, sub ject to the democratic white primary of 1910, to be held On a date to be ■elected by the state democratic ex ecutive cemmittee. "In making this announcement I feel that It is appropriate for me te ■ay that my service for seven years In both branches of the Georgia legis lature, during which time many of the present laws relating tcf banks and banking were enacted, and my service •t the same time on the house com mkkee on and banking by which these laws were considered, has given me a clear insight into the Georgia laws concerning banking and finance In addition to the foregoing expe rience, I have bees, for fifteen years, president of the Elbertcm Loan and Barings bank, in which capacity I may say, I have gained wide practical experience concerning the operation of those laws; and, as a result (ft which I am la a position te recom mend certain improvements in the present,laws, which will better safe guard the interests of the depositors In Georgia’s state banks. -If elected to this Important posi tion, I shall give my every effort to tiie faithful discharge of its duties, to assist me in which I shall secure the services of trained expert and ca pable asaistant*. 1 respectfully request the favora ble consideration of the democratic Voter* of the state. “PEYTON M. HAWES. „ “Elbortoa, Ga„ May 7, To the People Georgia. I am a candidate for State Treasurer subject to the action of the Democratic party at the approaching primary for the selection of State House Officers. Long and faithful service in that office as Treasurer and as Assistant Treasurer covering a period of tewnty years with out censure or complaint from any source is the platform upon which my candidacy is based. On this record I beg the support of the people. Respectfully, W. J. SPEER. FOR CONGRESS. I am a candidate for renomination to the office of Representative in Congress from the Sixth District in the primary election, which, under the law,,v, T ill be held next August. I believe that my record as a Represen tative, of which 1 invite the closest scru tiny, justifies me in saying that I have discharged every duty and obligation to the people who have honored me with that high and responsible office. During the entire period of my service in the House, I have been faced by a Republi can majority, strongly adverse in senti ment and policy to the best interests of the people of my section, but my record here will demonstrate H'at in every word I have spoken and in every vote 1 have cast, I have had an eve single to the hon or and welfare of the people I represent. Whether my duty as a Representative has called me to resist the iusiduous at tempts that are being constantly made to undermine the sovereign dignity of the State, to oppose the encroachments of organized monopoly upon the rights and substance of the people, or to defend the institutions and glorious traditions of our own section, I have responded to that call with all the force and vigor of my being. As the Representative of a free people, I have denounced tyranny in I whatever form It has appeared, and ac tively participated in the movement to wrest thecontrol of the House from the arrogant despotism that has been erected in the people’s forum by the Speaker and his Committee on Rules. My record in this and all other matters will most con clusively show tl at 1 have never on any occasion faltered or hesitated in the course of duty dictated by perfect loyalty to my constituents and party. Believing that my long experience will enable me to serve more efficiently the people of the District in the next House, which, from all indications, will be Dem ocratic, and with grateful appreciation of their support and confidence in the past, I ask a renomination at the hands of my constituency.

Rex, Georgia To the people of the Sixth Congressional District: I am a candidate for Congress subject to Democratic nomination. In this announcement I will not un dertake to incorporate my entire plat form, but cannot refrain from sayinii that as a member of Congress I would strenuously oppose all extravagant expenditure of the people’s money and all unnecessary and burdensome tax ation, and every effort made to en croach upon “states rights” and'would ! stand unflinchingly and unfalter ingly against all law's in conflict j with the principle “Equal rights for all j and special privileges to none.” | 1 believe that this si on Id he in reality as it is in theory a goverment of the peo aple, by the people and FOR the people As your representative I would devote to the duties of the office my time, my en ergy and whatever of talent I have and requests from any citizen of the District hovfever humble he might be would ra ! ceive prompt and careful attention. | If elected I will enter upon the discharge of my duties without pledge orproinise to* any man or set of men hut absolutely free and independent to do my full duty as j God gives me the light to see it.
