Congressional Convention.
The nominating convention of the
Fourth Congressional District met in
Columbus on Tuesday last to nominate
a candidate for Congress. Every coun
ty in the district was represented, the
delegates from Coweta being Messrs.
W. B. Berry, H. A. Hall and S. O.
Smith.
B. F. LcLaughlin, of Meriwether,
was elected chairman. F. M. Ridley,
of Troup, put in nomination the name
of Hon. T. W. Crimes, of Muscogee.
II. A. Hall, of Coweta, then obtained
the floor and made the following
speech; 0
Mr. Chairman:—An the representa
tive of Coweta county, and by request,
of Carroll and Heard counties, I desire
to place before this convention a man,
who, like one of old, is not without
honor save in his own county. Living
as I do in a county touching in sympa
thy and interest as well as geographi
cally that of his own, I am proud to
bear testimony to his integrity and his
worth. 31 is life, both public and pri
vate's known and read of this whole
district. I feel, Mr. Chairman, that he
needs no word of commendation from
me; and, I thank God, he does not
need the purchased eloquence of any
political trader that lie does not need
the blatant advocacy born of the greed
for future favors! He comes before
this convention with the sincere sup
port of a true people, with no other in
terest save the welfare of the whole
district and of the party. Do you ask
what claim he has to your suffrage ? 1
answer, his official life challenges in
dorsement and support. Only a few
years ago Troup county presented him
to the fl7th Senatorial District as a
suitable man, worthy of their confi
dence and support. His senatorial life
was characterized by faithfulness and
efficiency. When he retired from that
office it was amid the applause of the
entire district, after the closest scrutiny
of his record the universal verdict be
ing, “We find no fault in him.*’ If he
was worthy then, he is worthy now.
Do you ask what claim lie has to your
suffrage ? 1 answer, he is the repre
sentative of the agricultural interest of
the district. Have the farmers, bearing’
as they do the burden of county, State
and Federal taxation, no right to rep
resentation in Congress? Numbering
as compared to any other one calling
almost ten to one, they ask, with, the
modesty characteristic of them, 'that
you give them one representative in
ten. This appeal, my countrymen,
comes to us sanctified by the blood of
revolutionary sires! It was for the
right of representation they fought.
You may disregard this appeal now—
you may slight it now, but the day will
'come yvhen (he sons of toil will arouse
themselves, and, like the awakened
Titans, assert their legitimate rights.
Do you still ask what claim lie has to
your suffrage? 1 answer,' that above his
official capacity, as exemplified by his
senatorial record—above his being the
. representative of the agricultural in
terest of tiie district—above all these,
he possesses that moral character
which is the crown of Southern man
hood. These are some of the reasons,
which I will not multiply, why Coweta,
Carroll and Heard have indorsed and
presented to this convention the Hon.
John H. Traylor, of Troup. But, Mr.
Chairman, it appearing that the Hon.
Thomas W. Grimes is the undoubted
choice of the majorit y of the Demo
crats of this District, I withdraw the
name of Hon. Mr. Traylor from the
convention. Mr. Chairman, I would
be faithless to the trust reposed in me;
I would be unworthy the respect of the
honorable gentlemen who oppose me,
if I did not thus publicly bear testi
mony to the integrity and worth of my
coiintv’s choice. * ’ * * *
While it is true that from among the
aspiring and worthy sons of the dis
trict Coweta’s choice was otherwise,
still when the majority of her sister
counties speak she locks her shield with
theirs for the accomplishment of a more
decided victory. This she will do now.
Her devotion to her choice is surpassed
■ only by her devotion to the party. And,
Mr. Chairman, it is meet that -we be
united now. We are on the eve of a
great national conflict. Already the
hosts are .being marshalled on the field.
• and the din of their advancing tread,
“like thunder heard remote, has
aroused the whole nation, and its
echoes have awakened the keenest in
terest in the trans-Atlantic world. It
is'a conflict of principle. M -e are light
ing for the rights of the people against
the encroachments of the Government
in the exercise of its taxing power. In
view of such a conflict we must present
an unbroken front. The boutli must,
she will, be solid still. It is with sin
cere pleasure that I contemplate the
action of Muscogee county, the verj
centre of our manufacturing interests,
in presenting to this convention a man in
sympathy with the Democratic idea of
tariff reform. Her action m doing so
challenges the admiration ot the entire
' district. Upon that platform we all
meet and heartily support the nominee.

Mail Carrier’s Experiences.
What family jars has the letter earner
witnessed; of what romantic stories lias
he been the bearer! Many little missives
has he carried to the love sick maiden,
which she lias tenderly placed beneath
her pillow at night, to sleep and to dream
on. Then again what bitter memories
have some of his errands evoked! What
aching hearts have longed for alisent
loved snes. for some message that would
tell of their existence, and when death
rapped at the door the letter carrier was
the first to bear the announcement.
These were the thoughts that suggested
themselves to a reporter the other day as
he contemplated “one of the best" hurry
ing along from door to door of a popu
lous tenement district. The shrill whistle
sounded at frequent intervals denoted
his coming, and from window and base
ment dozens ©f heads protruded and
asked the one all absorbing question,
“Anything for me?’’ It was amusing to
see their different expressions as they re
ceived the little envelopes. Some were
enraptured and kissed the paper passion
ately, wliile others frowned and glanced
anxiously at the bearer. Perhaps some
creditor demanded payment for an over
due bill, or perhaps the scrawl meant
even more.
“You would like to know just what
kind of life this is?” remarked a carrier.
“Well, it is not quite as rosy at it appears.
It is getting better, however, every
year, and now that we are about to par
ticipate in the benefits of the eight hour
law work will be more pleasant. ”
The reporter had followed the carrier
from block to block until every letter had
been delivered. Then, as he had a few
mements to spare, the gray coated of
ficial sat down to tell his story.
“I don’t know of any business where
we see more of human life than ours, ’ ’ he
commenced. “The lights and shadows
of life are pretty distinctly marked and
we see them both. Sometimes we feel
just as much pleasure in delivering a let
ter as the receiver in getting it. Some
times when an ominous black bordered
envelope falls into our hands we are sorry
that we have to deliver it. Just what
hours we will have to work after the re
arrangement I do not know,’’lie said.
‘ ‘At present our duties are pretty oner
ous. In the branch offices collectors
have to report as early as 4:40 o'clock in
the morning, or five minutes before the
regular time for starting out. Forty-five
minutes arc then consumed in collecting
from the various boxes, after which we
return to the station with the mail. Then
we start to face up.
“You don’t know what facing up
means? Well, that is what we call sort
ing our mail and getting it in order for
our route. Facing up takes all the time
up to 6 o’clock. Then we start out and
deliver the letters. ■ We make a prompt
return to the office. Collections have in
the meantime been made and again we
start facing up.
“Every trip is but a repetition of the
other. We make them hourly, and are
kept constantly on the move until 11
o’clock. Then we swing. This is what
we call taking a rest. In other words,
there is no work for us to do until 4
o’clock in the afternoon. Then we come
on again and work until the darkness of
evening has fallen over the city.
“You want to know what we see on
the route?” and the letter carrier dusted
a few grains of cigar ashes from his bag.
“Well, it is funny just what we do see:
then again it is sad. The saddest of all
my experience occurred one day when 1
delivered a letter to au old man who
lived alone in a dilapidated house ou
Park row. It was a mourning letter,
and as I handed it to him the old man s
fingers trembled. He tore it open con-
vulsivelv, and as he read the lines he
tottered and fell into my arms. The
letter was from his daughter, who. lived
with her brothers in a fashionable 'house
up town. It stated that her mother, the
old man’s wife, was dead and would be
buried that afternoon. The girl also
warned her father not to attend the
funeral or there would be a scene, as his
own sons would not permit him there.
“He wept as lie told me his story.
There had been a quarrel, and he haa
been driven from liome. He had never
darkened it up to that time. That day
my. duties brought me around Grace
church. I saw the funeral cortege, but
what attracted me most was the figure
of the old man outside on the sidewalk.
His lips quivered with emotion as he saw
the casket that contained the remains of
his wife, but he dared not approach. He
held a daisy in his hand, jierhaps in re
membrance of other and happier days,
and he was still turning it idly when I
passed along.

own troubles to worry us as well as other
