It is now thought likely that Pres
ident Taft may visit Waycross in
January. He will visit Jacksonville,
and as he promised Col. John W.
Bennett some time ago that in the
event that he came anywhere near
here that he would visit Waycross, a
determined effort will be made to
get him to come here. At a feeting j The body
Mr. John P. Martin, who came to
Waycross about October 6th, and
went to work in the Coast Line shops, /
was found dead In bed at the board
ing house of Mr. J. B. Popwell, 41
Pendleton street, this morning. Ap
parently, Mr. Martin had been in the
best of health, and Mr. Popwell says
he had not heard him complain of
being ill. Whed he went to call Mr.
Martin to breakfast this morning he
found him cold in death. A physi
cian from hospital made an exansi na
tion of the body, and the indications
were that the man died of hearts dis
ease about 4 o’clock this morning.
But very little is known of Mr.
Martin in Waycross, as he had only
beori here a short while. He came to
this city from Detroit, Mich., but his
home, so it is stated, is in Tennes
see. He was about 40 years of age,
and a member of the Moulders’ Unon.

Georgia for two years, for which hoj
was elected. Governor Brown Is
right when he says that a man who
is elected by the people makes a com
pact with them to fill tho office. HH
personal ambition should not allow
him to seize some moro ottroctive
prize. Such conduct Is antagonistic
to the principles of our constitution
and destructive to public sorvlce.

Savannah Press.
After discussing some state and lo
cal Ihbugs in the announcement of
his platform, Hon. Joseph M. Brown,
Ex-Governor of Georgia, sounds throe
vital notes in his state campaign.
Their discussion injectr an interest
into tho campaign, which it has not
yet had, and removes the question
way above mere local issues, for he
makes his pica on a matter of princi
ple and national politics. Governor
Brown has now fpItched the flfcht
where every Geofginn must taken
instant notice and make permanent
alignment. The issues are clean-cut,
the division is a logical one, and the
principles against which he says his
candidacy is a protest, stand out well
rounded and clearly defined.
First, when a vacancy occurred for
tho United States Senatorship in
Georgia, It was clearly the duty of
the iterty leaders and managers to
arrange a senatorial primary. This
had been the accepted policy In Geor
gia and there was no earthly excuse
for the failure to provide one. The
vacancy In the Senate occurred ear
ly In November, 1910. The Legisla
ture did not elect a Senator until
June 12th., lbll. Here was a period
of over eight months, during which
time a primary could have been ar-
| ranged and held, giving the candl-
I dates, and the people plenty of time
; to make up their minds as to a sue*
I lessor to Senator Clay. If the. objec
tion was -in the score of expense, It
, * f >'®t tru® that the election of Gov*
I ernor Smith produced an agitation
! infinitely more expensive than the
- primary tor a United States 8enator.
J Second, Governor Hoke Smith, who
j had Insisted upon a re-election by the
, people, and who was triumphantly
re-elected, should have remained In
office until his term expired; bh ac
ceptance of the office was an implied j stroke. The other candidates have
Jontraot with the people, and his j been picking cotton by moonlight but
'•'th of office, taken unhesitatingly Governor Brown has walked *)ut Intr
] when he was inaugurated, bound him the sunshine and the objects he de-
to rnprert tho constitution and to fines stands out as deaf as day.
Cordelo, Ga., Oct. ,10.—Twonty-ono
persons were hurt when the engine
of a Seaboard Air Line passenger
train from Helena to Columbus, left
the rails, three miles east of Cordele
at 8:25 this morning. No ono Is
thought to be seriously injured.
The train wa-a No. 75 and was
known as the “Shoo Fly.” It was
westbound when the accident took
plnce.
What made the engine leave the
track is not known, but It probabfy
was caused by spreading rails or defeo
tlve spiking. The engine was turned
completely over and badly damaged.
The three cars, a flrst-class passen
ger, a secon-cla^s and ono comblna-'
tlon passenger and baggage tnach
left the rails and remained almost on
their sides. Tho passengers were
thrown to tho floors and sides, most
receiving brulsos and scratches. It
b considered remarkable that none
was seriously JnJured.
Only 9 out of 300 passengers es
caped bruises. The victims were
brought here and given treatment at
the city hospital.
The worst hurt were:
Mrs. W. J. Falrcloth, Rochello, Ga.,
hurt on head and probably Internal*
iy.
Mrs. M. Hester,. Adel, Ga., lAick
and arm Injured.
Mrs. Hal Lawson, Abbeville, Ga.,
; scratch on body.
Mrs. James Rodgers, Abbeville, suf
fering from shock.
M. M. King, Pitts, Ga.; Samuel
Grijn, Hatley, Oa.; and Capt A. K.
Fisher, bruised and cut.
Tho train was in charge of Engi
neer J. C. Bock a\jd Conductor H. #

Governor Brown sags bis candidacy

The logical part of Gov. Brown's
protest Is that ho was the man whe
was defeated by Governor Smith
when he ran for Governor. Now
that the Oovernof will resign before

the people return to Governor Brown

The people of Georgia have a home

a great many of them.
It looks like Governor Brown had
