THE AGENT BEAT A RETREAT
When About Two Hundred “Tar

The local agent of the Pullman

the Chattanooga News, bad a

“No, you ain’t,” said the North

The large-fisted gentleman
from the Old North State came
out, inquired by whose authority
that banner was being removed
and sought the agent who was
standing nearby. A heated dis¬

THE MURRAY NEWS
SPRING PLACE, MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUNE 17, 1904.
TO CARTERSVILLE
Louisville & Nashville Will Probably
Build from Wetmore.
Mr. G. H. Aubrey, of Oarters
ville, who is right-of-way attor¬
ney for the Louisville & Nash¬
ville Railway Company, was in
Spring Place Wednesday night.
When asked by The News
man which of the routes survey¬
ed he believed would be built,
Mr. Aubrey replied:
“While I do not speak with
authority, in my opinion the line
built will run from Wetmore to
Cartersville. I. am now going
over that route, perfecting the
right-of-way grants, and think
that will be the survey followed.
“I hardly think,” continued
Mr. Aubrey, “that a road will
be built into Dalton unless the
L. &. N. should take that route
to get into Chattanooga.”
The line to Cartersville will
pass within two and one-half
miles of Spring Place.

Pretty rapid speed.

go. Mr. Barzen had no intention
of standing still. Just as about
two hundred of the same charac¬
ter of free-born American citizens
filed out of the car Mr. Barzen
thought that time for action had
arrived, and—away he went.
When last seen the North Car¬

were chasing the “blue belly/’

way to Nashville still proudly
bearing the banner.

Canton, Ohio, June 15, 1904.
The First Infantry has been

time has been extended another

have been guarded by an armed
sentry since September, 1901,
and will be until his tomb is
completed. Garfield’s remains
were guarded thus nine years.
As McKinley’s tomb is to be
much larger and more costly, ex¬
celling even Grant’s, the guard
will be kept on for some time to
come.
West Lawn cemetery, Canton,
Ohio, is a very beautiful spot and
a fitting place for the last resting
place of one of the nation’s great¬

The monument committee has
purchased a plot of eleven acres

tery overlooking his old home.
The president’s remains now
lie in the cemetery receiving
vault, covered with the national
colors, , llie vault is also trimmed .
with ... „ flags and , lloral ,, . . which ...

are , being . continually ,. v, received . ,
from all parts of the country.
The vault is illuminated by elec
tricity at night. Thousands of
people * to, bare their heads daily be
fore the vault while the peaceful . ,
surrounding and tokens of a na
tion’s sympathy add an air of
solemnity to the place.
On May 80 thousands of people
came from Canton and surround
ing country to pay tribute to their
dead chieftain and silent heroes
who fought in the Civil and re
cent wars, and in spite of the
inclement weather, the cemetery
was thronged with people from
early morning till late at night,

Elected Head of Georgia
Delegation
TO ST. LOUIS CONVENTION
Will in All Probability Be Made
Member of Committee
on Platform
The Georgia delegates to the
St. Louis convention met Satur¬
day in Altanta. When the ques¬
tion of a chairman of the delegates
came up Mr. Young, of the Tenth
district, placed in nomination
that veteran Georgia statesman,
who, in the balloting before the
state convention, had led all the
rest, , Hon. TI John T , - W. IT _ Maddox, r ,. of
Rome, the nomination . ,.
was en
thusiastically ,, . seconded by Judge + ,
Daniel, of the Sixth district, and
Dr. Crawford, of the Tenth, and
Judge Maddox was unanimously
elected.
*U S ' e r y P r °t>able that Mr.
,. Maddox will , be elected a member
of the p i atfor m committee. In
speaking “If of this, he said:
I am elected to member
ship on the platform committee I
will give a written guarantee not
to want to put a single plank in
the platform to be adopted at St.
Louis, if the other members will
only agree to allow me to leave
out a few planks that are already
in the platform.”
If that should be the keynote
at St. Louis, and it will be if the
wise counsel of Judge Maddox is
respected, then- the Democrats
will win. It might as' well be
understood now that the great
party of the people will never
carry its candidates to success in
the national contest if the free
silver plank and other fanatical
planks in which the great masses
have no confidence, are inserted.
Make the platform short, and to
the point.
