The Senatorial Race.
. On last sale day, (Tuesday,)
the Editor noted a great deal of
comment and speculation on the
Senatorial race from this the 48
district. It seems to be the gen¬
eral impression that we are to
have an early primary and so in¬
terest in this matter seems to he
taking shape, inasmuch as it ir
M urray’s time to furnish the
Senator,
The friends all over the county
of Harold Willingham, Chair¬
man of the county Democratic
Executive committee are boost
ing him for the race, and it is
the general impression that if
lie should decide to enter that
there will be no opposition. We
believe that Mr. Willingham is
a capable and competent busi¬
ness man and the best interests
of the people would be sened
by his election. His heart is in
the right place and he has al
vi ays stood ready to put his
shoulder to the wheel when the
welfare of ihe county was at
stake.
We hope that he may soon de¬
cide to enter so that the people
may know where he stands.
Cold Facts.
The Atlanta Georgian is
perhaps the most influential
paper published in the state.
And its influence for good has
been phenomenal.
It has engineered through
the Georgia legislature some
of the best laws ever enacted
by the law-makers of Geor
gia
But when it tackled the
compursory education bill; it
struck the flinty end of a hard
proposition. After all the
bullying it could do, and all
the cajolery it could command
it has l?een able to see the
hand-writing on the wall, and
was forced to the same tac¬
tics as the fellow with the fat
dog skin for sale.
You all know this old, old
story.
They go so far as to actual¬
ly beg for the passage of their
pet scheme. And even set
forth the fact that compulsory
education, according to this
proposed bill does not compel
anyone to send their children
to school, who desire not to,
and v\ill make any sort of a
showing why they should not
go.
We think everyboy likes
the ‘‘good old” Georgian and
likes its game way of fighting
evils wherever they appear.
But, candidly we think they
are wrong in this move and
think they are bound to lose
out, and ought to.
The people of Georgia
don’t need to be driven to
a thing that the great majori
ty of them are willing and
anxious to do, but just can’t.
Of course, we are willing
to admit that some of them
could do better. But this
the exception and not the
—and is only a very small
part of the people.
What I Got
For My Vote.
Well, I was in town,
(Spring Place. ) one day, and
a candidate invited me to the
hotel to take dinner with him,
[ I accepted accented the tne invitation invitation, and ana
what do you think this dinner
cost me Well, vxr 11 .1 the candidate a- 1 .
.
claimed my vote, and just as
. he,
soon as dinner was over
(the v candidate,) ’ 7 said, “let US
take a walk. So, we did,
and ana he ne claimed ciaimea mv my influence innuence
by this time, and of course, 1
had , , grant . it, , because t he
to
had been SO kind to me in
. . dinner at the ,
giving me my
h »tel. Now, says he, to me,
John, I ride . . ail .
want you to
night for me, n»d see several
parties, as there is no one
else I can trust but -you J SO
consented to do SO. 1 went
to see a dozen , men that , night . .
and had to meet him next day
and make a report, so nty re
port was good, he says, now

Johll, you are the finest man
1 ever saw, so I want you to
get me lo gallons of whisky,

right here, as 1 am a church
member, but he said no one
would ever know it except
the boys, and they w'ould not
tell it. 1 was under obliga¬
tions to him for my dinner at
the hotel, and had to consent,
so I got the whisky and used
it in the election. 1 had three
hard fights, was arrested, put
under bond. The candidate
could not go my bail, so I had
to go to jail, and when court
convened I was fined $100.
and the cost. I did not have
the money, so they sent me to
the cain gang for two jears.
The man or the dog who gave
me dinner at the hotel for
saken me, would not help me
one cent. So, my dinner
cost me too much to go again
with any other candidate, so
when ,I see any one else go¬
ing to the hotel with a candi
date, I say to myself, good¬
bye John.

THE REAL BOWERY.
Swiftly Passing, It Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.
The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably It never will
be, because it is swiftly passing. Hun¬
dreds of attempts have been ninrte by
those who have nut even penetrated
the surface of its reserve, its heart
and soul—for the Bowery has both, as
well as reserve—are a sealed book to
the writers. It is a Sargasso sea lit¬
tered with derelicts of ail worlds, drift¬
ing back and forth with the endless
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them Is the ceaseless activity of
commerce, of development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease¬
less cross current, which no literary
mariner, cruising in these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know It best and have
some skill in writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
its endless complications, its infinity
of contradictions, its astonishing good¬
ness and its frightful depravity, tho
baffling mystery of its wonderful hu¬
manness and its fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only om- man
in all literature could have Interpreted
the Bowery—and Balzac is dead.
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear¬
some lurid melodramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less in
telligently, but the melodramas are
weird burlesques, unworthy even of
being scoffed at, so far as any coustd
eratton of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re
peated, have built up a fiction that has
come to Ire accepted ns the reality.—

Fooling the Dogs.
In a certain part of Scotland, ac¬
cording to Dean Ramsey, the sbep
herds used to take their collies with

well during the sermon, but began to

saluted the final blessing with Joyful
barks. In one church the congrega

Breakfasting With Whistler.
The was a foreign painter who used
to breakfast at Chelsea, and when
Mr. Carr asked him if he had been
there lately he replied: “Oh, no; not
now so much. He ask me a leetle
while ago to breakfast, and I go. My
cab fare, two shilling, ’arf a crown. I
arrive, very nice. Goldfish in bowl,
very pretty. But breakfast—one egg.
one toast—no more! Oh, no. My cab

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.
You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
tills you need to fully digest It.
Else you can’t gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffic¬
ient amount of food regularly.
But this food must Ire digested,
and it must ire digested tlioro uglily.
When the stomach can’t do It,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di¬
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
