SOME POLITICAL NOTES. MRS. PEARCE DEAD-
Judge J. B. Estes
j as t Saturday, and made a strong- i
Democratic speech, lie was given close
attention and was frequently enthus
iastically cheered. Referring- to his
>peech the Constitution of Sunday
says:
“Judge Estes spoke first, and was in
troduced by J udge Chappell of the Lau
rens county city court, in a very happy
speech. Judge Chappell alluded to
Judge Estes as a man who had always
been true to his party and was a trust
ed lieutenant of Colonel Candler in the
campaign for the nomination. Judge
Estes spoke from 11:30 until nearly 1
o’ -lock. The speech was well delivered
an 1 attentively listened to. He re
viewed the past history of the dem
ocratic party, especially from the time
just after the war. when it stood as a
bulwark between the people of the
south and unprincipled leaders from
other sections. He told of the records
made by such men as Smith, Brown and
Colquitt, and how the state had pros
pered under their administrations.
Then he reviewed the inception of
the Populists. The Farmer’s Alliance
was a grand organization and was ap
pealing for reforms which were needed,
but leaders in that organization came
to a road which forked, one leading to
reform in democratic ranks and the
other leading into a new political or
ganization. They made the sad mistake
of choosing the latter route and con
sequently there have been strife and
bitterness among us, where there should
be a united phalanx against the com
mon enemy, the republicans. The
populist party has no hope for the fu
ture. being dead as a state and national
organization, and there was no excuse
for trying to perpetuate it in Georgia.
He eulogized the democratic nominee
for governor denominating him as a
man who had been true to the people
in every exalted position for which he
had been chosen.
Judge Estes spoke at Hartwell today.
He will take an active part in the cam
paign and the State Executive Com
mittee has made a number of dates for
hitn already.
spoke at Dublin The End Came Wednesday After
noon.—Interment at
Columbus
The death of Mrs. Haywood J. Pearce,
wife of Prof. H. J. Pearce associate
president of tne Georgia Female Sem
inary, cast a pall of gloom oyer the
city, although her death had been ex
pected for some days.
Mrs. Pearce had an unusual long ill
ness. She was confined to her bed for
nearly ten weeks and she suffered
much. All that medical skill could do
was without avail and she finally suc
cumbed to the grim reaper. Once or
twice she rallied but suffered relapse,
and Wednesday the end came.
Mrs. Pearce was 24 years old and was
the daughter of Mr. J. S. Matthews,
city treasurer of Columbus. She mar
ried Prof. H. J. Pearce in 1891, and
her husband and four children survive
her. She was a consistent member of
the Methodist church, and was a wo
man greatly admired and esteemed.
Prof and Mrs. Pearce moved to Gaines
ville several years ago, and have many
friends in the city who are grieved at
her death. t
The remains were taken to Columbus
on the early morning train Thursday
for interment. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews
were with their daughter during the
last few weeks of her illness, being at
her bedside at the time of her death.
The friends of the families here and
elsewhere extend them the greatest
amount of sympathy in their bereave
ment. Prof. A. W. VanHoose, Mrs. T.J.
Pearce, Mr. and Mrs. J.S.Matthews and
otners accompanied the remains to Co
lumbus.
