FRIDAY. JUNE 29, 1894
GENERAL EVANS RETIRES.
General Evans has withdrawn
from the race for the democratic
nomination for governor of Geor-
fc ia.
Every line of his letter to the
people, announcing his withdraw¬
al, gleams with true patriotism, and
leaves him nearer and dearer to
the people than when he entered
the rac9.
General Evans has buried self
and personal ambition for party
success and harmony, and offe~
bi'ff'best services to uie state execu¬
tive and campaign committees.
All loval democrats should now
accept Mr. Atkinson and work for
a good majority.
Chairman S. E. Coleman gives
due notice in this issue of The
News of the postponement of the
primary which was ordered for the
2,1. Wednesday in July, for the
nomination of a state senator and
representative. We are unable to
nay what the probable, outcome of
this action will be, but suggest that
it will give pretty general satis¬
faction.
Our people should not under^es-
i.mate the importance of the Mid¬
summer Fair, to he held at Tiflon
up July 10 and 11th.
There never was a time when our
opportunities syere greater to in¬
duce capital and labor to develop
and utilise oar comparatively un¬
developed resources than now.
Irwin County hap inducements
to f>Ifer that are seciud to nona in
our section; or, in the south, as for
that matter, and if we fail to con¬
tribute liberally to the Midsummer
Fair, we not only lose a most favor¬
able opportunity and sleep over
par rights, hut we shall fail to keep
abreast with our sister counties in
the growth and development of
fuejr resources.

THE COMMENCEMENT.
'The Sycamore Institute .closed
for the summer last Tuesday even¬
ing. I he programme for the occa¬
sion. which appeared in last week’s
News, was carried out to the letter.
By 7.30 o’clock the large acade¬
my was filled to ovetliowing with
representative citizens of the town
and county, and several visitors
were present from Ashburu and
community.
It affords The News great pleas¬
ure to note the interest the citizens
of the town take in educational aL
fairs; and, with but two or three
exceptions, the men and women of
the town turned out with their
children to enjoy the occasion.
It was a big thing for Sycamore.
The pupils appeared to be at their
best, and played the parts assigned
them to thegreat satisfaction of the
entire audiance; not a one of them
that is not deserving of special
mention.
At the close of the exercises Rev.
H. Stubbs advanced upon the stage
and presented three beautiful med¬
als for Mrs Fields, to,viz : Mies Eula
Hill, daughter of Capt. C. F. Hill;
M.. Elmo Hayes, son of Mr. R. If.
Hayes, and Master Marvin Smith,
son of Mr. E. R. Smith.
The following is a list of the pu¬
pils who made the highest grades
for one term in the Sycamore In¬
stitute :
The highest average for the Fall
Term was made by Edwin Smith,
whose average for five months was
99.6.
For the Spring Term, Stanley
Bussey, whose average was 99.7, the
highest made by any pupil in
school for the same length of time.
Of the girls Miss Carrie Jackson
made the highest grade for five
months, viz: 98.4.
The above named pupils did not
enter the contest for the medals, as
they were offered to those who
made the best average for the en¬
tire scholastic term of ten months.
Prominent among those in at¬
tendance from without the town
were; Editor H. D. Smith and lady,
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Betts, Mr. and
Mrs. Jenkins, all of Ashburn ; Hon.
Dave Clements and two sons, of Ir¬
winville; Mr. Homer Adams, Jus¬
tice C. L. Royal and daughter, Mrs.
A. E. Clements and daughters, Mr.
B. H. Cockrell, of Ruby, Mr. Joe
Young, Hon. Geo. K. Wilcox, Rev.
J. W. Connors, ot Arabi.
Between the scenes the audiance
was entertained with the violin and
piano by Prof. Dozier and Mrs.
DeLoach. Prof. Dozier is a typical
artist, a musical wonder and has
the gratitude of our people for con¬
tributing so much toward one of the
rpost brilliant occasions in the his¬
tory of our town.
Mrs. Fields and daughter, Miss
Pearl, leave Monday to spend the
summer with friends in Atlanta
and Gainesville, and other points
in north Georgia.
They will return to Sycamore
about Sept. 1st. and wilt open the
tall term of the Sycamore Institute
on the 10th or 17th of that month.

Mr. Editor-
It has been very
dry from Sycamore here, hut they
have had some rain in narrow
streaks for a week. Corn crops are
damaged a great deal jp some
places, but I think there will he
plenty of rain soon.
Mr. John Grant'iiara* a one-arm
soldier and a good Rian, in south¬
east Irwin, ie very low.-^
I see in The Telfair .Enterprise
that Mr. E. R. Smith has jumped
right on every body that ig not
with him, about the primary. He
has become very democratic in’!:
deed, for it has not been but a very
short while since the colored voter
was the power behind the throne,
and who was the throne? I do
think Mr. Smith has done himself
a great injustice. If he is not the
author of that letter, it must have
been written by a primary man af¬
ter having had a long conversation
witli M;. Smith. -W. W. Hill.

We reproduce the following let¬
ter with the insertion of a quota¬
tion which was carelessly omitted
from last week’s issue, and ask the
author’s pardon for such a gross
negligence :
About The Senatorsliip
Editor News : The democrats of
Telfair County recognize the right
by precedent of Irwin to furnish
the candidate this year for senator
of the 15th senatorial district, and
are willing and ready to support
any good man that the democracy
of Irwin may select, and they are
in favor of selecting the candidate
by a primary election, provided
none but straight cut demo¬
are permitted to have a voice
the selection : but, they are far
from willing to support a man nom¬
in the manner suggested by
mass meeting held at Irwinville
May 21, which adopted a resolu¬
to the effect that the candidate
senator be selected by all the le
voters in Irwin County, because
democrats ot Telfair and Mont¬
don’t know what kind of a
they would be called upon to
for, whether a democrat, pop¬
republican, prohibitionist or
In view of the con¬
that now confront the dem¬
Darty, it would be exceed¬
unwise to elect a senator in
uncertain way. The e?u-
pf the times densmri that
none but clean cut democrats be
chosen for the legislature and where
candidates are selected by primary
elections none but true blue demo¬
crats should be allowed to vote. It
is reported that iu the mass meet¬
ing above referred to, an amend¬
ment was offered to make it read :
“all legal democratic voters in the
county” instead of “all legal vot¬
ers,” but it was voted
down by a decisive majority. The
people of Telfair do not understand
this, they are at a loss to know why
Irwin should seek to nominate a
senator by eneral vote instead of
by a democratic primary and a
candidate selected in any way ex¬
cept by the democratic party of Ir¬
win will meet with but little favor
among the democrats of Telfair and
Montgomery; in fact, they would
not respect such a nomination, hut
would support a man like George
K. Wilcox, who’s democracy is well
known and unquestionable. —M.
