Death <
| Mnj. Tim O'Brien is dead.
Three years ago there was not a
liner specimen of manhood in
Ware county than Mnj O’Brien.
He has been Buttering from Brights
disease and gradually grew Weak
er until his death in Charleston
yesterday morning at 2:45.
Major O’Brien was born in
Charleston about thirty three
years ago. He moved to Waycross
about fifteen years ago to accept
a position with the Brunswick and
Western railroad.
For many years he was time
keeper at the Plant System shops.
On April 20 I Nils, he married
Miss Florence Rivers and two
children have "blessed thut union.
About two weeks ago Maj.
O’Brien was carried to Charleston,
his family thinking thut a sum
mer on Sullivan's island would be
beneficial. When they reached
Charleston his condition was such
that it was impossible to carry
him to the island, and he was
moved to 370 Meeting street where
he remained until his death.
Major O'Brien was a soldier
every inch and there was not a
more popular officer in among the
state troops.
An officer under him says that
he was perfectly straight and up
right in his dealings with his meu
and for that reason they all loved
him,
Mr. O’Brien joined the Way-
cross Rillles, under Capt. J. S.
Williams, when the company was
first organized. He was promoted
step by step until he reached
second Lieutenant in 1S1X). H
held this office until 1S05, when
Capt. Farr resigned. Lieutenant
O’Brien was sleeted to succeed
him. He remained in command
until the war with Spain IMIS.
He enlisted in the United States
Volunteers and was placed in
command of company C of the
First Georgia regiment.
They were stationed at Griffin,
Chicamauga and Macon when
they were mustered out in Janua
ry cf 1S1KI.
He then returned to Waycross
and assumed command of the Killes
During the full of ISOS) he was
elected Major in the Fourth regi
ment which office he held until
his death.
When Col. Wooteu spoke of re-
. signing early this year, Major
O'Brien was at once spoken cf and
it was almost certain he would
have been Col. Wooten’s successor.
A largo number of Waycross
people left for Charleston last
night to attend his funeral which
will occur there this afternoon.
Maj. O'Brien leaves besides his
wife and two children his mother
Mrs. Vernelle Webb, four Bisters
aun two brothers. Misses Minnie,
Allie, Bessie and Harry live in
Waycross, Miss Maggie and Le-
Iioy live in Charleston.
THE EL CRUCERO
IS IN MARKET.
He v Clear Factory la Selling Its Output
—Waycroaa Cigars Takes Country.
The HI Crueero Cigar Com
pany filled its first orders last
week.
Mr. Brinson, the manager, says
that the outlook for business is
much better than they expected.
They have orders for all the goods
they can make for some time.
Every mail brings letters of
inquiry frem all parts of the
United States about the capacity
of the factory and the possibility
of making contracts for goods.
At present the output of the
factory is being sold through job
bers. When the force of hands is
nereased he thinks that they will
employ several traveling salesmen.
The local demand for the El
Crueero cigars is good. The
factory placed 10,(XXI cigars with
local jobbers Friday and by Sat
urday night almost the entire
quantity had been sold in Way-
cross.
The factory employs ten cigar
makers, besides u foreman and
packers. The force will be in
creased ns the business grows.
Mr. Brinson says that no better
cigars can be made anywhere.
The foreman Mr. Angola buys
all tho tobacco, and Mr. Brinson
says that he knows all there is to
be known abnit this important
part of the business.
The outlook nt present is that
Waycross cigars will win the
country as the output from both
factories is being rapidly increased
and sold.
Battle of Ballots
Occurs Thursday
Great Many Candidates and All High Class="Most
Spirited Campaign in a Decade—The Ballot.
Ttie great battle of ballots will
iccur Thursday.
Georgia has not held a more
spirited primary or election during
the last decade than the one to be
pulled oil' this week. Tho ticket
to be voted this year is the longest
ever placed before the people.
All three gubernatorial candi
dates have a strong following, and
t is the general opinion that none
will receive a majority of tile votes
cast.
The election Thursday will be
virtually a white primary, and
all white men who pledge them
selves to support the nominee will
be allowed to vote, whether they
be Democrat, Republican or Pop
ulists.
More interest is centered in the
gubernatorial campaign than any
of the others. The friends of
each candidate claim their nomi
nation. Probably never in the
history of the state havo there
'bjen three men of better personal
standing than those offering for
governor in this race.
Much interest iB manifested in
the race for state school commis
sioner. It is also a tri-coruered
contest.
Then' are two candidates for
prison commissioner, commission
er of agriculture, and superior
court judge of this circuit. The
results are doubtful In each case.
The people are certain of the
nomination of two candidates for

McDNNALD SPOKE SATURDAY.
Asked his Opponents Some Spicy
Questions.
Mr. J. R. McDonald candidate
for the legislature spoke to a fair
ly good crowd at the court house
Saturday.
Mr. McDonald asked some spicy
questions of his opponents.
He snys that his chances are
good for election, although he was
the last man to enter the race.
REVEALS A GREAT SECRET.
It is often asked bow such
stnrtling cures, that puzzle the
best physicians, are efTccted by
Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Here's the secret.
It cuts out the phlegm and germ-
infected mucus, and lets the life-
giving oxygen eurich and vital
ize the blood. It heals the in
flamed, cough-worn throat and
lungs. Hard colds and stubborn
coughs soon yield to Dr. King’s
New Discovery, the most infalli
ble remedy for all Throat and
Lung diseases. Guaranteed bot

E. J. Borry for clerk nnd A. T,
Sweat for county surveyor. All
the rest are doubtful.
Mr. R. M. Lanier, the registrar,
says that the total registration
this year has almost reached H100
names. This is the largest in the
history of the county.
He thinks that not more than
1400 votes will' be cast, ns the
farmers are so busy and huve not
the time to leave their work to
vote. Had the primary been held
a mouth later he thinks that tho
entire number of white registered
vothes would be cast.
Voters must be careful observe
all the rules of tho primnry or
their ballot will be cast out. They
must erase the names they don't
wish to vote for.
As an example, there aro three
candidates for governor. Suppose
one would wish to vote for Terrell
To do so, he must erase tho names
of Getirry and Estill. Should hq
wish to vote to lor Guerry he
must erase Terrell's and EstiM's
names. Should lie wish to vote
for Estill, Terrell’s and Guerry"s
names must be arused. Tin'same
is truo with all the candidates,
and shon'd a voter vote for two
men for the same office, that part
of his ballot will be void. It would
not annul the rest of his ticket.

voteil Thursday:
