NO SNAP PRIMARY.
Efforts are being put forth to

Concluding my business at Cummin*
in Forsyth county, I started Thursday
morning on my return trip, to a nearer
railroad station. Instead of going to
Gainesville, we decided to take the
lower route, thereby reaching the
Southern Railway at Flowery Branch*
Mr. Candler Reed andfMiss Vir
ginia Deaton were happily joined
in the holy bonds of matrimony
on Wednesday afternoon, Feb, 26.
The ceremony was performed at
the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jno: Deaton.
Their many friends wish them a
happy and prosperous life.
This pressure does not come from
the friends of either Col. Estill or | one of the thriving towns of Hall coun-
Mr. Guerry. As is well known, Mr.
ty, The distance from Cummin* to

Guerry has asked for an August | crossed half a dozen creeks and the
Chattahoochee river, making the trip
in three hours, despite the fact otf
having to faoe a storm of sleet port
of the way. F.
The Chattahoochee is the dividing
line- between Hall and Forsyth coun
ties, and is spanned at the point where
we crossed by a substantial iron bridge
on stone piers.
The highway from Camming to Flow
ery Branch was lined with well culti
vated farms, many of which had
houses that would he a credit to a
large city. I noticed at one plaoo
eight bales of cotton lying out in the
weather, and at another six bales, and
here and there one and two bales,
showing that all the cotton is not yet
out of the county. Owing to th# ex
tremely bad weather, few people was#
to be seen. We passed an eooasfconal
buggy or wagon, the first probably
carrying a traveler like myself, and the
latter hauling wood, which finds ready
purchasers at this time of the year.

primary and Col. Estill’s triends
expect and desire for a late one
80 that the farmers and laboring
people, and not court honse
cliques, can determine who shall be
th eir servan ts. An early primary,
now that the season is so late for
farming would without] great in
convenience and loss of time, al
most deprive the farmers of their
votes, and no reason, save of polit
ical advantage, can be given for
early action by the party. Can
didates for State house offices,
other than Governor, are just en
tering therace, and any precepitate
action by the committee forcing
an early adjudication-, or their
rights, will look to outsiders like
undertaking to perpetuate the
present so called political ring
in power. This will be resented
in no uncertain way by the voters,
and should be.
We do not know that Cpl. Ter
rell is responsible for this pres
sure for an early primary, but we
do know Col. Estill and Mr. Guer
ry are not, and should Col. Jim
Smith enter the race, which seems
certain, he should have time.
Mr, Terrell should remember
the fate of Daniel B. Hill of New
in his candidacy for the
in 1892. The early
call for a convention in New York,
and his unanimous endorsement
by the same was the satisfying
point of the friends of Mr. Cleve
land, and “Snap” convention”
was the one thing that his friends
could never answer to the satis
faction of the “country. If Mr.
Terrell has any influence with the
