THEIR TERMS EXPIRED.
Famous Senators Who Will Be Seen ^o
More at tlie National Capitol—Sev
eral Senators Retired.
Of the thirty senators whose
terms expired when the presiding
officer’s gavel fell at noon on
last Wednesday, thirteen failed to
secure re-election, either through
defeat or through their own refu
sal to enter the contests in their
various states. Included in the
number whose official presence m
the chamber will no longer be no
ted are six Republicans and seven
Democrats, but of th Republi
cans, two, Senator Jones of Neva
da and Senator Wellington of
Maryland, have in recent years
each supported for a time the nat
ional candidates of the opposing
party.
Two other senators, Deboe of
Kentucky and Pritchard of North
Carolina, are ^Southern Republi
cans, and both are succeeded by
Democrats. The remaining two
Republicans are Senators Mason
of Illinois and Somon of Oregon.
Of the seven retiring Democrats,
Senator Harris of Kansas, Turner
of Washington and Heitfeld of
Idaho were elected as Populists,
and all are succeeded by Republi
cans. Senatos McLaurin of South
Carolina was elected as a Demo
crat, and while still classed as a
such, has acted independently
during the greater part of his
term. The other three, Senators
Vest, Jones of Arkansas and Raw
lins, bav9 from first to last been
in the Democratic ranks, and
Jones and Vest have risen to
places of conspicuous leadership
in their party.
HERE AND THERE-
I am not egotistical, and do not
claim that The News is the only
paper published in this section of
the state, but I do say that the
people read The News and pay
some attention to the suggestions
made m this column. And I can
prove the above assertion. How?
Here’s the nroof: On last Wednes
day I made mention of the fact
that no lights were hung up at
night on the barricades on Main
street where the city is putting
down the macadam on that
thoroughfare. The News went
to press at oue o’clock and the
first papers were delivered from
tbe postoffice a half-past two
o’clock. That night a light hung
from each fence and the mon
strous packer also displayed a
headlight on her front end. Just
four hours after The News had
been delivered to her city sub
scribers my advice had been
taken.
***
A friend of mine from a north
ern state sent me the following
poem the other day, stating that
it was printed by a northern pa
per, which claims that the poem
was found printed on the back of
an old Confederate note. My
friend wants to know where it was
found and who its author is. I
can’t inform him, but if there is
any reader of this column who
knows anything about the poem
I will be glad to publish the facts
and will send my Northern friend
a copy of The News in which the
facts are given. Here is the poem:
Found Printed on tbe Hack of an Old
Confederate Note.
Representing nothing on God’s earth,
now,
And naught in the waters below it;
As a pledge of a nation that’s dead and
gone,
Keep it, dear Captain, ana show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear;
Tell the tale this paper can tell,
Of liberty born of a patriot’s dream,
Of a storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ore,
Too much of a stranger to borrow,
We issue today our promise to pay
And hope to redeem it tomorrow.
Days rolled by, and weeks became
years,
But our coffers were empty still;
Coin was so rare that the treasurer
quaked
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith within us was strong in
deed,
Though our poverty well we dis
cerned;
And these little checks represented the
pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew it had no value m gold,
Yet as gold the soldiers received it;
It gazed in our eyes with a promise
to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or
pay,
Or the bills that were over-due;
We knew if it brought us our bread
today,
’Twas the best our country could do.
Keep it and tell all our history o’er,
From the birth of our dream to the
last;
Modest and born of the angel, Hope,
Like our dream of success—it passed.
Hi* He
“Did you know the public
square here iu Gainesville could
be made one of the prettiest places
imaginable for a small amount of
money?” The question was asked
me by a gentleman who does busi
ness on the public square and who
has been living in Gainesville and
Hall county since he was a boy.
He is no dreamer, either, but a
practical business man. I told
him that I had never given the
subject much thought, and asked
him what he would suggest in re
gard to beautifying the public
square and here is the plan he
laid before me:
“First, the Daughters of the
Confederacy are going to erect a
monument there in memory of the
heroes who lost their lives fighting
for the Confederacy. Of course
the monument will stand in the
center of the square. Now, let the
city and county join forces and
erect two fountains out there—one
to the right and one to the left of
the monument. Then let them
build an iron fence around the
square m order that no teams can
be driven across the place. Seats
of some kind could be placed un
der the trees for the people of the
city and country to sit on and rest
during the long, hot summer days.
Why, I have seen women and
children who have come in from
the country during the summer
time, when it was too hot and
sultry to stay indoors, sit in their
wagons and buggies for hours at
a time out there on the public
square. Probably these women
and children had come to town
with their husbands and fathers
and these same husbands and
fathers would be over at the court
house reared back in a chair,
smoking a five-cent cigar, chewing
manufactured-tobacco and talking
politics with Tom Bell, Judge
Dyer, or some other good fellow
who is holding office, while these
women and children were out there
suffering with the heat. I am no
woman suffragist, but I am always
on the side of the
especially the women from
country. You see my mother
was a woman, and I can’t forget
the fact that she was one of those
good-old-time, old-fashioned, count
try women, God bless them! Yes*
the city and county should fix up
the square so these country women
could rest out there iu the shade
of the trees while their men folks
were trading and talking politics,
and it would not cost much either.
The city council and county com*
missioners should get together
and talk this matter over. Let s
beautify the square and
take care of our country
cousins when they come to
town to spend their money with
us. Ob ! the policemen could keep
the loafers and rounders—excuse
me, nothing personal—off the
tbe grass, that’s what they are
here for. After Mayor Parker had
fined a few of them tor idling and
loitering, the balance would stay
away. No, I don’t like the idea of
cutting down that tree and allow*
ing the telephone people to set
those poles on the inside of the
chain that incloses the park—let’s
quit saying square and call it the
park, Central Park—but I guess
that’s all right. It’s too late to
kick about that now. You can
call attention to this matter
through your columns if ^rou want
to. Yes, those are good cigars—
cost me five cents apiece. Good
bye, Call again,”
