SENATORIAL EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE.
The members of the executive com
mittee of the Thirty-sixth Senatorial
district arc requested to meet in Now-
nan on Wednesday, Sept. 7, to fix a time
and place for the meeting of the con
vention to nominate a Senator from
this district. W. B. Martin,
Chairman.
AND MU. SMITH CAME BACK.
Any expression bearing upon the re
sult of the contest for the Governor
ship in Coweta county would, at this
hour, be superflous.
Mr. Smith has boon chosen as the
party’s candidate for Governor, and so
far as this paper is concerned, we have
no quarrel to make. Mr. Smith is a
big man, and any person who persuades
himself to a different view is fooled.
Wo beg to Bubmit the following ta-
‘ble, to-wit:
SMITH.

directed to appoint the delegates from
f',i respective cnunM-s from amerp-
the supporters of the successful candi
date in that county.
Judging from the official consolidated
returns received to date, Gov. Smith
will have not fewer than 216 votes in
the convention, and Gov. Brown not
more than 163 votes.
In addition to nominating Gov. Smith,
the convention will also nominate can
didates for all other State House offi
ces, Supreme Court Judges and Solici-
tors-General.
The Cordele circuit furnishes the only
case in which the convention will not
be bound by the action of the people.
In the Cordele circuit Judge U. V.
Whipple and Max Land ran a dead heat
for the nomination, and, under the
rules, the State Convention must select
a candidate.
W e presume that the stalwart Smith-
ites in Coweta county who voted against
Hewlette Hall for the Attorney-Gener
alship for no better reason than that
he was an appointee of the present
Governor, are chuckling over the result
of Tuesday’s primary. All right; —
there will bo a day of reckoning, and
don’t forget it.
For the benefit of the infernal liars
in Troup, Meriwether, Carroll and
Heard, who circulated the report that
Hewlette Hall would not carry his own
county in his race for Attorney-Gener
al, we wish to say that the official re
turns convict them of their mendacity
in stronger terms than we can afford to
employ in these columns.

Smith and Brown Thank Their Friendi.
Atlanta Journal, 24th Inst.
Gov. Joseph M. Brown gave out the
following statement Wednesday morn
ing, bearing on the gubernatorial cam
paign:
‘‘I am profoundly thankful to my
friends all over the State for their ef
forts in the campaign and at the ballot-
box.”
Governor-elect Hoke Smith to-day
;avc out a simple statement concerning
iis victory at the polls on Tuesday. He
thankB the people personally for the
compliment paid him, but says his per
sonal pride is of little importance as
compared with the principles for which
the people voted.
‘‘The victory,” he says, “was not
that of any one man, but of the people
of tho State.” *
Mr. Smith counsels consideration to
ward those who opposed the principles
without understanding just what they
meant.
The statement follows:
"I cannot too strongly express my
appreciation to those splendid Georgians
who carried the fight for Progressive
Democracy. I thank them personally
for the compliment they have paid me,
but this is of no importance compared
to tho principles which yesterday’s elec
tion will establish in Georgia. The vic
tory was not that of any one man, but
of the people of the State. While we
must be unfaltering in devotion to the
policies which wo have professed, we
cannot bo too considerate to many of
our opponents who have voted against
Progressive Democracy without under
standing just what wo meant. We
should now, without any effort to tan
talize or mortify them at their defeat,
seek lovingly to show them that our
principios are really those in which
they believe, and that they wore not
with us because they did not, under
stand them. Tho election of yesterday
will not bring its proper result to the
people of Georgia if it meanB simply
that I am to fill the Governor’s chair
for two years. Wo should Beok to con
vince the great body of voters of Georgia
that our principles are right, and in
this way wo will prevent the possibility
of another hard struggle two years
from to-day, and will insure the elec
tion of a Governor and Legislature two
yeurB hence in accord with the policies
of Progressive Democracy. Our aim
should be to establish these principles
in tho hearts and minds of so over
whelming a majority of the voters of
the State that reactionary candidates
will be entirely unable to produce an
other contest like that through which
we have just passed.”

“I never felt so near my grave,”
writes Lewis Chamblin, of Manchester,
Ohio, U. R. No. 3, “as when a frightful
cough and lung trouble pulled me down
to 116 pounds in spite of many remedies
nnd tlie best doctors. And that I am
alive to-day is due solely to Dr. King’s
New Discovory, which completely cured
me. Now I weigh 160 pounds and can
work hard. It also cured my four
children of croup.” Infallible for

Hoke Smith to Be Nominated on
Sept. 1.
Atlanta Journal.
Hoke Smith will be formally nomi
nated as the Democratic candidate for
Governor to succeed Gov. Jos. M.
Brown at the State Convention, in At
lanta, on Sept. 1. The convention will be
held in the auditorium-armory, and will
be called to order at 10 o’clock by Chas.
R. Pendleton, chairman of the • State
Committee. Mr. Pendleton will call for
nominations for temporary chairman,
and will deliver the gavel to tho man
chosen by the convention.
There will be 368 votes in the conven
tion, but there is no limitation as to the
number of delegates and alternates.
For instance, a county having only two
votes in the convention may send eight
delegates. The number of delegates
will make no difference whatever, as
every county will vote as a unit for the
gubernatorial candidate that carried it.
In a number of instances it is prob
able that a county’s vote will be divid
ed between Governors Smith and Brown,
neither of them having received a clear
majority. In such casee, the delegates
will be named from among the support
ers of either candidate.
The personnel of the convention will
be controlled entirely by the county
chairmen, who, under the rules, are
President Helps Orphans.
Hundreds of orphans have been help
ed by the President of the Industrial
and Orphans’ Home at Macon, Ga., who
writes: "We have used Electric Bitters
in this Institution for nine years. It has
S roved a most excellent medicine for
tomach, Liver and Kidney troubles.
We regard it as one of the best family
medicines on earth. ” It invigorates all
vital organs, purifies the blood, aids
digestion, creates appetite. To streng
then and build up pale, thin, weak
children or rundown people it has no
equal. Best for female complaints.

Did you ever hear of a Feb. 307 The
Marine Journal says: On a ship voy
aging across the Pacific ocean at the
end of February, 1904, a leap year, an
inquisitive passenger found a menu
dated Feb. 30. At first he thought he
had come across a typographical error,
bHt had to change his opinion. The din
ner was given on the Siberia while
crossing from Yokohama to San Fran-
ciBCo. A day is gained between Japan
and America, and as the event happen
ed on this occasion at the end of Feb
ruary, leap year, the date of Feb. 30
was right.
