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.

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. • •Yes. it is a funny kind of life, halt sunshine, half clouds.
