Irrnef . c | oc k w j t i, u | >0 ut fifty people on
°8 as mard, when it arrived at Fitz
gerald it was necessary to put on
rop^.xtra coaches. When it pulled
'jju aKCordele, all the coaches were
lore Jillerf to their utmost capacity,
passengers were standing in the
aisles and on the platforms. Be
tween four hundred and fifty and
four hundred and sixty people
were on hoard.
The people of Cordele were at
the union station to meet the train
and the excursionists were received
with open arms.
The excursion was the most suc
cessful ever run by the A. it B.
and a neat sum was netted for
the company.
The crowd was very orderly, not
a quarrel or a case of drunkenness
was reported. Everyone was good
natured and seemed satisfied with
i the trip. Mr. H. C. McFadden,
* general freight and passenger
agent of the road, personally con
ducted the excursion, and its suc
cess is largely due to his elTurts.
His private secretary, Mr. D. K.
Ream assisted Conductor Smith
in the sale aud collection of tick
ets.
The only hitch was the delay on
the return trip. The train was
compelled to moVe slowly between
Cordele and Fitzgerald on account
of the new track, and inferior
water frcilitics.
The success of the excursion
shows that the new road has the
good will of the people along it’s
Tinaaud in every way the people
have shown that they appreciate
the advantages it oilers.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Frightened Horse Runs Into Nurse and Child.
Mr. Kd Crawley’s mare ran
away Friday down Plant avenue
and only missed a serious accident
by a hair’s breadth.
Mr. Crawley kept his seat in the
buggy and did all in bis power to
control the animal, until she
reached the old B. & W. track.
There she became absolutely un
manageable and Mr. Crawley clim
bed out the rear and let her go.
He struck his knee*against the
axle as he dropped oil' and sprained
it severely.
The mare turned Wilson’s cor
ner at full speed, threw the buggy
across the street into a vacant
lot, and she scampered on toward
the court house.
A nurse with a baby was about
to cross the street opposite Mai*
bm’s, the mare run directly for
them. It appeared that they
would be killed or badly hurt.
Just as she was about to run
furiously into nurse and child,
(the brave negro woman stood by
the child,) the mure rose on her
hind feet and sprung over the
pair us she would jump a fence.
Her hind feet struck the nurse
and knocked her over, without
hurting her, but the child lay uti-
hurmod in its carriage.

ENGLISH TELLS A STORY.
It was a Fish Story, Hut Then It Is
Spring, You Know.
Mr. J. C. English tolls the fol-
lowing fish story, the very best
one that ImB come to light IliiB
spring:
“A friend and I were out fish
ing mi t lie Sat 11 la river the other
day,” said he, "and my friend had
out a trout line with a star head
minnow for a bail. Tho little fel
low was playing temptingly on
the top of the water when till at
once a ten pound trout struck
him. A trout's mouth, you know,
is very large and when he strikes,
his gills are distended, and ns he
grabbed up tho minnow, and was
about to dose his big mouth the
little fellow darted out through
the trout's gills carrying .the hook
with him.
"The big fish's mate which was
following close behind him 11 ml
equally ns large as the first, saw
the minnow as lie came through
the gills of the fp t trout und so
liu darted for tho bait and suc
ceeded in swallowing minnow,
hook mid all.
“Of course, the line was through
the mouth and gills of the first,
trout ami he was even more secure
than No. 2, so my friend played
the pair for a few minutes und
landed thorn both.
"Tho two trout weighed nearly
twenty pounds and I ate some of
them for dinner," said Mr. En
glish, us he wtlked away, leaving
thu crowd to wonder at his admir
able imagination.

"Anything, Lord."
We do not luke stock in the
practice of some enthusiastic
friends of ull the candidates of
declaring Hie candidate not of our
choice to lie a rascal, a truiior, u
hypocrite mid the like. We be
lieve that every one of tho three
candidates is uu honest mail and,
if uleclud, would make thu best
governor that under tho circum-
Btuuccs lie would be able to make.
All things considered, however, it
is our firm belief that Mr. Guerry
is much thu best equipped man of
the throe.
ft did not impress us as nt ull
becoming in a man who had pub
licly avowed his distaste for and
his disapproval of "personalities”
to publicly attribute to ono of his
opponents the characteristies of
the cuttle fish, but since ho has
seen lit to do so, wo will venture
to statu that, besides entertaining
different views in regard to some
public questions, our main objec
tion to Mr. Terrell is, that he i»
too much liko the jelly fish—he
line to lie “kicked"jtotjj/Uiy time*
to get iinythingC'Cift br Ihim. He
depends too much on the ties of
friendship and his winning per
sonality rather than milking clear,
specific, emphatic declaration of
his belief in thu merits of issues
upon the miiiisgcimmt of which
depends much to the people of tho
state.
A limn who relies on a long and
carefully planned “still hunt,"
must he afraid of the people, and
a man who so judiciously hunts
the big side is not a safe man tez
depend upon when evils threuten
the state aifil when tho actiou of
the governor cun have such im
portant liouring upon tho settle
ment of questions of public
policy.
While there is much in Mr.
Terrell’s personality to udmire,
his conduct in this campaign bus
savorod too much of the spirit of
“anything, Lord, just so you will
let me be govornor.”—Moultrie
News.
