nated Hugh Dorsey, Solicitor-General of
the Atlanta Circuit, for Governor of
Georgia provided Gov. Slaton should
resign that office to run for Senator
Bacon'H unexpired term.
We are not influenced alone in mak
ing this suggestion by the admirable
record made by Mr. Dorsey in his con
duct of the case against l.eo Frank,
the convicted murderer of Mary I’ha-
gan.
His successful management of this
case as State prosecuting attorney—in
which for days und days he wus ha
rassed and bullyragged by two of the
shrewdest and moat brutal lawyers who
ever practiced at the bur in Georgia —
raised him in the estimation of the
people everywhere.
The people believe in Hugh Dorsey's
honesty, and they are convinced of his
ability.
If he wants to bo Governor of Geor
gia-
He may, if he will Ray so /
JUDGE REVILE.
The frequent mention of Judge Hen
ry II. Kevill, of Greenville, as a proba
ble candidate for a place on the Appel
late Court bench in the coming State
primary is being widely und cordially
npproved, wo arc pleased to note.
Judge Kevill is splendidly equipped for
the office named, and would fill the po
sition with credit to himself and honor
to the judiciary of Georgia. As Judge
of the City Court of Greenvillo—a po
sition hu has filled for the past seven
years ho has made u record that is
probably not equaled by that of uny
City Court in the State. Out of hun
dreds of issues tried before him, his
court has never been rovorsed hy the
higher tribunals in a criminal case, and
there hnvu been but three reversals re
corded against him in civil cases. Besides
the valuable experience thus gainod,
and his recognized ability as n lawyer,
Judge Kevill enjoys a wide popularity
personally, and is strong with the peo
ple of thin section. If he should decide
to enter the contest it goes without Buy
ing thnt he would have the united back
ing of the bar of the Coweta circuit—
one of the strongest in the State.
Gov. Colquitt, of Texas, is quoted as
Baying —
"It is strange to me why the author
ities af Washington should be so solici-
itous about the kidnapping of Mexicans,
and fear international complications as
a result, when they so indifferently re
gard the kidnnpping and murdering of
Texans and the taking of their proper
ty by Mexican marauders and kidnap
pers. ’ ’
The people at lnrge arc puzzling over
the same question. The “peace at any
price" policy of this Administration is
making us the laughing stock of the
civilized world. If our distinguishad
Secretary of State had more red blood
and less water in his system the Mexic
"situation” might have been satisfac
torily "composed" months ugo. Mean
while the repulse of Villa and his gang
of marauders at Torreon this week may
force the Wilson administration to view
the Mexican "situation” from a differ
ent angle.
The newspapers of the State are sny-
ing some nice things about Dr. Frank
M. Ridley, sr., of DaGrange, in connec
tion with his suggested candidacy for
the Slate S -nate from the Thirty-sev.
enth district, und every word of praise
und appreciation thus spoken is well
deserved. There is not within the con
fines of the State a better man or more
loyal Democrat, und his district would
honor itself by electing him to the Sen
ate. By the way, he would make a
splendid presiding officer for that dig
nified body—a position he would fill
with grace and ability.
Atlanta Georgian: "It would be well
worth while to Bend Dr. Frank M. Kid-
ley. sr., of 1-aGrange, to the State Sen
ate from the Thirty-seventh district, if
for no other reason than to frame once
more in the gallery of Georgia politics
one of the most gallant, chivalric and
accomplished gentlemen of the State.
The stately courtesy of this gifted phy
sician, joined to his shining character
and lofty ethics, would add feature and
force to the coming Senate, and the
Thirty-seventh would have reason to
be proud of its representative.”
Franklin News and Banner: "Judge
H. H. Kevill is being solicited from
many parts of the State to enter the
race for a place in the Appellate Court.
The Judge has hosts of friends in Heard
county, and will have a cordial support
here in cubc he should enter the race."

Capt. Jas. B. Martin Answers Last
Roll-Call.
Capt. Jas. B. Martin—patriot, sol
dier, and citizen, loved and revered by
all who knew him —passed away Mon
day afternoon at the home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. F. D Dylo, on Temple ave
nue. afler a long illness.
The foregoing announcement would
bn incomplete without a brief eulogy
upon the life and character of one of
the most remarkable men that the pres
ent generation has ever known. Al
though the better part of his life was
spent in Carroll county, where he was
horn and reared, his early married life
began in Coweta county, his first wife
being a daughter of the late Frank D.
Bowen, of the Fourth district—one of
the county's wealthiest nnd most prom
inent citizens. Upon her death some
years Inter he returned to Carroll coun
ty, and continued to reside there until a
few months ago, when he and hia sec
ond wife, (who was Miss Orrie Welden,
of Spalding county,) came to Newnan
to make their home with their daugh
ter, Mrs. F. L. Lyle.
In the brief space set apart to this
article it would not be possible to re
view the career of this remarkable man
—to speak of his record as patriot und
soldier—to dwell upon his lovable traits
as friend and neighbor. He was all,
and everything, that duty demanded or
friendship could have desired. He was
a man of generous impulses, and never
forgot the wayB of the pioneer. The
str inger, even though a beggar, never
failed to find food snd shelter under his
hospitable roof. Ho was nt home at
the bedside of the sick and afflicted—
f.lie first to come and the last to leave.
Uniting sound common sense with
strong convictions, snd with a candid,
outspoken temper, his influence in rais
ing u high standard of citizenship can
be best appreciated hy those of the
present generation whose privilege it
was to know him. To hold him up in
these degenerate days as a model hus
band and father—to speak of the noble
sonB and daughters he had reared to
perpetuate his name and to emulute his
virtues —would be a pleasing task if
space permitted. Suffice it to say, he
lived nobly, and died peacefully, ut the
advanced uge of 78.
Tlie funeral took place Tuesday af
ternoon, from the residence of Mr. F.
I, . Lyle, on Temple avenue, services
being conducted liy Rev. H. L. Ed
mondson. The pallbearers were Martin
Welden, Roswell Welden, A. J. Wel
den, (nephews,) and Woylnnd Lyle and
Raymond Martin, (grandsons.) The in
terment was in Oak Hill cemetery.
Gapt. Martin is survived by his wife
and five children, the latter being Mrs.
J. J. Duvis of the Fourth district, Mr.
W. B. Murtin nnd Mrs. F. L. Lyle of
Newnan, Mr. Andrew Martin of Atlan
ta, and Mr. Emanuel Martin of Cortez,
Fla.
The beautiful Iribute printed below is
from the pen of Hon L R Mandeville,
of Carrollton, contributed to the Car
rollton Free Press of this week, which
wo reproduce with pleasure, und with
thanks for the privilege —
“Capt. James B. Martin was born
near Kotherwood, on the Chattahoochee
river, in Carroll county, Ga., May 5,
1836. At the time of his death he was
the oldest native-born citizen of Carroll
county. Me was reared and educated
in Carroll, and worked on his father's
farm until he wus 18 years old, when
he moved to Carrollton and engaged in
the mercantile business, which he fol
lowed until 1861. In the meantime he
studied law and was admitted to the
liar, but, not liking the profession, he
abandoned it. In 1861 he enlisted in
the army, and for awhile was stationed
at Brunswick, Ga. His enlistment of
six months having expired, he returned
home, raised u compny and went out
again this time as captain of Co. B,
R6th Georgia regiment. He was under
Gen. Kirliy Smith in Kentucky, and
was a trusted friend of that old war-
horse. Later he was under Gen. Pem
berton. went through all the dangers
and privations of the Vicksburg seige,
and was one of the starvelings surren
dered st that place in July, 1863. In
the battle of Baker's Creek over half
of his company were killed, and he was
himself seriously wounded. After Vicks
burg he was sgain so badly wounded
that he was forced to retire from ac
tive service. His men bear testimony
that in camp ho was kind and gentle as
a woman, but inaction he never ordered
his men on to the shell-swept field, but
led them.
“In the fall of 1864 he was elected
sheriff of Carroll county, which office
he held until reconstruction days, when
he resigned rather than obey what he
thought the unjust orders of the Pro
visional Governor. He then followed
farming in Coweta county, on the
Chattahoochee, the old home of his
father-in-law, Frank Bowen. His wife
dying, he married Miss Orrie Welden,
of Spalding county. Shortly thereafter
he moved back to his farm in Carroll
county, which he cultivated until in
capacitated by Hge, when he moved to
Carrollton to spend the evening of his
days.
"I knew his father, a man of high
ideals snd sterling worth, and first saw
Capt. Martin in 1859, while visiting with
his younger brothers. For forty years
prior to his death 1 am glad to say I
was close to his great warm heart.
"In many respects he was a remark
able man. He had the education, the
politeness, and courtly grace of the old
time Southern gentleman—a type now
almoat extinct. H> was a fine Latin
scholar, had a fair knowledge of Greek, '
and was a superior mathematician. He ;
wus a civil engineer, and assisted in |
running the survey of our present rail- j
road from Newnan to Carrollton.
"Nature endowed him with a spright
ly wit. a keen sense of humor, and al
most faultless memory. This, with an
inexhaustible fund of anecdotes, made
him a most charming companion. Liv
ing in the country, and being a close
observer, he studied and knew all plant,
life—the wants and ways of the wild
life that peoples the wood, the air and
the water. Always, and at all times,
he was a diligent searcher after truth.
He accepted no man's theories or
dogmas or 'isms’ until he had weighed
them in the balance of his own judg
ment. His head always sought the
sunlight. In his strong, resolute brain
there was no room for fear or supersti
tion. 'There is no darkness but ignor
ance’ might have been the rock upon
which his feet were planted- the text
from which his life sermon was
preached.
"All who knew him will bear witness
that he was generous, hospitable—a de
voted husband and a loving father. He
was a member of no church, but if the
promises given in the grandest sermon
ever uttered on earth be of any value,
to-day he is tilessed, for he was ever
merciful, and at all times a peacemaker.
“He was conscious to the last mo
ment, and, with a mind as placid as a
summer sea, the soldier and philosopher
met death us calmly as a star meets
the morning.”

Romantic Marriage.
Atlanta Georgian, 23d inst.
Stunned by the announcement almost
at the same time of the wedding of
two members of its force, the Rhodes-
Wood Furniture Co. Monday was ad
vertising for a bookkeeper and stenog
rapher who would agree not to get mar
ried within twelve months.
Miss Grace Summers, aged 20, the
stenographer, last November married
J. J. Solar, of the rate • department of
the Southern railway—and kept it a se
cret until Monday; and Miss Jenny Lind
DeVore, the bookkeeper, married W.
Carl Tunison, the stock manager, Sat
urday night.
"We were not ready to get married,
in a business sense," said Miss Sum
mers. “That is, we weren’t ready to go
to housekeeping, but somehow we
couldn’t wait, so we decided to marry
and keep it a secret. Our plan worked
beautifully. We fooled everybody. Mr.
Solar even visited me Christmas at the
home of my parents in Newnan, and
nobody caught on.”
