A VENERABLE SERVANT OF
THE LORD.
Rev. W. J. (’otter, our venerable and
beloved townsman, who is attending
the North Georgia Conference in At
lanta this week, seems to be attracting
more atention than any other member
of that distinguished body. We are not
surprised. He is one of the best men
on earth, loved and esteemed by every
man, woman and child who knows him.
Noting his presence at conference,
the Atlanta Journal says—
An interesting figure among several
of particular interest at the North
Georgia Conference, is Rev. W. J.
Cotter, of Newnan, a superannu
ated minister. “Yesterday 1 was 86
years old,” he said “Sixty-five years
ago yesterday 1 was licensed and rec
ommended to the church conference.
For 53 years 1 served in the regular
work. My cup of joy ought to be fuller
than any man’s on this floor. I have
never reproached myslf for asking for
the superannuated relation, for the
reason that I did not want to stand in
the way of men who were more active
than myself.” He recalled some of the
earlier pastors, nearly all of whom are
dead “1 feel desolate and lonely,” he
said, his white beard shaking with
emotion. Later: “1 have been in the
hands of more presiding elders proba
bly than any other man in this body.
In one charge where I served four years
1 had four presiding elders.” Bishop
Hendrix: “Did it take four to make
one in those days?” "Oh, no, sir, “was
Rev. Cotter’s vigorous denial. “Every
one of them was up to the full measure
of a man, and running over.”
The Atlanta Constitution of to-day
also has the following reference to the
venerable divine
Rev. W. J. Cotter, of Newnan. is a
central figure at the North Georgia Con
ference, in session at St. Haul’s church,
as he is at each conference annually.
He is the oldest member of the confer
ence, both in age and in the number of
years spent in the service of the Lord,
lie brought tears to more than one pair of
eyes as he stood at the beginning of the
session and made a brief talk, in this
talk he stated that he celebrated his 86th
birthday on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and at
the same time celebrated the sixty-fifth
anniversary of his ordination as a mem
ber of the Methodist church. Forsixty-
(ive years he has been a servant in the
army of the Lord, and the present is
the sixty-fourth annual conference he
has attended. Although he is fourscore
and almost ten, (nearly a score more
t han the allotment to man promised by
the Book,) he is able to get about nice
ly by the use of a heavy
cane. He
stated at this conference that he had
held fifty-three regular charges, which
meant more churches, for in some in
stances there were as many as twenty
churches under him at one time. He
declared that, he had been under more
presiding elders than any other member
of the conference. Mr. Cotter has been
superannuated for six years now, but
has never given up preaching, often
times filling a pulpit in Coweta and sur
rounding counties, lie is seated well
Mown in front, and is treated with the
utmost warmth and cordiality.
MAKING GOOD IN 11 IS WESTERN
HOME.
The following brief sketch of Judge
Presley B. Cole, who removed from
Coweta to Ok laohma several years ago,
will be read with interest and pleasure
by his many friends in this county,
where he wns born and reared. The
article is from the McAlester (Okla.)
Herald of Nov. 3, which says:
“Judge Presley B. Cole, the man who
defied and defeated the Coal Trust in
his race for the Judgeship, after they
had spent thousands of dollars and exert
ed every available effort, and resorting
to all kinds of strategy and employing
men and speakers to fight him in every
precinct in his district. His able, fair
and impartial rulings have attracted at
tention all over the State, lie is setting
precedents that have proven a guide
for the judiciary throughout the State,
lie was the first Judge in the State to
take the initiative and hold that State
Courts had jurisdiction in criminal cases
originating prior to Statehood. The
bar feared it was a mistake and urged
the Judge to wait for a decision of the
Supreme Court in a case appealed just
after Statehood, but he calmly said, ‘l
have studied these questions. The State
Court has jurisdiction. 1 will not wait
for a precedent from the Supreme
Court, tint will make one for them to
follow. ’ He did so, and the Supreme
Court upheld his opinion in every re
spect. He has dealt justly to all alike,
and we may here say that he has earned
the term applied before his election as
the ‘People’s Judge.’ His term of office
expires next year, and he will undoubt
edly enter the race for re-election. ,, '~
record will be his platform.”

Rules Adopted by City Executive
Committee for Primary Election.
1. A primary election will be held in
the city of Newnan on Tuesday, Nov. 30,
1909, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for Mayor, four candidates
for Alderman, and four candidates for
membership on the City Board of Ed
ucation.
2. The polls will be opened at 8 o’clock
a. m., at the Council Chamber in said
city, and close at 7 o’clock p. m.
3. Three managers will be appointed
by this committee, together with the
necessary number of clerks to conduct
the election, and it shall be their duty
to keep two tally-sheets and two lists
of voters, showing the name of each
voter, and the total number of votes
polled.
4. Any white voter of lawful voting
age who shall have resided in this State
twelve months just preceding the date
of the election, and who shall have reg
istered for the regular city election to
he held in said city on the first Satur
day in December, 1909, and who shall
have paid all the taxes required of him,
and who may be qualified to vote at
said regular election, and will agree to
support the several candidates who may
he nominated, shall be qualified to vote
in said primary.
5. The candidate for Mayor, the four
candidates for the office of Alderman,
and the four candidates for City Board
of Education who may receive a plurality
of the votes cast in said primary elec
tion shall be declared the nominees, and
as such will be entitled to the support
of the white voters of said city in the
regular election.
6. The official ballot to be uRed in
said primary will be prepared and fur
nished by this committee, and shall con
tain the names of all the candidates for
the several offices named. To entitle a
ballot to be officially counted for a per

in substitution for the names of those
regularly announced and recognized as
candidates will not be allowed, and any
part of the ticket so padded will be
thrown out in the official count: Pro
vided, that failure to strike the requisite
number of names from any portion or
division of the ticket will not invalidate
the portion or division which may be
properly scratched; and if a portion or
division of any ticket should conform to
the rules of this committee, and a por
tion or division be not in conformity
with such rules, the portion or division
which may be regular and legal shall be

A Correction.
At the citizens’ meeting held in the
court-house Tuesday night Alderman
Askew made the statement that the
street committee had spent this year,
up to Nov. 15, the sum of $10,01X1. The
undersigned, as members of the street
committee, desire to correct Alderman
Askew’s statement. From Jan. 1 to
Nov. I the street committee spent
for sewer-pipe, lumber, brick, ce
ment, flagstones, lime, etc., the sum
of $2,435.32. From Jan. 1 to Nov. 15
the street committee expended in
wages the sum of $2,161.59. This
makes a total of $4,599.91—less than
half the amount that Alderman Askew
claims has been spent on the streets of
Newnan the present year. We submit
the foregoing, not so much in defense
of our record as members of the street
committee, but in order that the citi
zens of Newnan may know the truth
(The above expenditures do not in
clude the sum of $2,250 appropriated
by the City Council for tiling the side
walks.) J. T. Swint. Chm’n.,

leaves a devoted wife, two children, (W.
E. Bowers and Mrs. Ida Stamps,) one
brother and two sisters, (W. L. Bowers
of Spalding county, and Mrs. N. J. Ad

Senoia Notes.
Senoia Enterprise-Gazette. l»th inst.
Mr. Bob Mann, of Newnan, was with
relatives here Sunday.
Dr. 7.. Greene, of Newnan. came
down and spent Sunday with relatives
in our city.
(SJMr. Wm. G. Neill was recently ap
pointed clerk in the postoffice at New
nan, and assumed his duties Sunday
morning. He is a good boy, and will
fill the place well.
Morris Atkinson, a negro who broke
jail at Manchester last week and escap
ed with a handcuff on one hand, was ar
rested here last week by Bailiffs Entre-
ken and Banks and returned to the offi
cials of that place.
Mr. S. P. Steed, who is pleasantly re
membered by many of our people, was
the guest of his uncle, Mr. H. L. Ware,
Friday. Sion is now proprietor of a
large furniture business at Ybor City,
Fla., and informs us that he is doing a
fine business. He is a hustling young
man, and deserves to succeed.
The widow of Mr. Cicero H. Easten,
who died the first of October, received
this week from the Franklin Life In
surance Co., of which Mr. R. M. North
is the representative, checks for $2,091
for insurance due on her husband’s
life. She lives up near Fayetteville.
Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Nolan entertain
ed their children and grandchildren at a
family reunion Sunday. The grown
people present from out of town were
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Todd of Aberdeen,
Mrs. Ed Kirkland of Griffin, Mrs. J. E.
Lyon and Miss Bessie Funderburk of
Hampton, and Mrs. B. B. Funderburk
of Bainbridge.
Real estate deals continue to be made
in Senoia, and every deal means a help
to the town. Mr. Nathaniel Estes yes
terday morning purchased the old par
sonage from Mr. H. L. Camp, and it is
understood the latter will build a nice
home on Abaview in the near future.
It is good news to know that neither of
these excellent families contemplate
leaving town; we could not afford to
give them up.
A stock company has been organized
here, and will within the next few days
petition the City Council to grant them
a franchise for furnishing lights in Se
noia. Messrs. W. B. Baggarly, H. L.
Ware, A. O. Baggarly, J. A. McKnight,
and a number of others are behind the
movement, and no doubt the ven
ture will be a success. These gentle
men believe that Senoia ha3 been in the
dark long enough, and that this is the
best means of getting lights for the
present. The city needs lights, must
nave them, and now is the time to get
them.
Mr. Hugh S. Cole, one of our bright
young men, and Miss Ada B. Lassetter
were quietly married at the telephone

awhile and was filling the place here
during Mrs. Britt’s absence. She is an
attractive young lady, and has a large
number of friends. Mr. Cole is well
known by all our people. He is bright,
energetic, and makes quite a success
in contracting and building houses.
The happy couple are now at Union
City, where Mr. Cole is superintending
the construction of a building for the
