citizens who is banking upon

That possum supper at New
nan seems to be cutting a figure
politics whether or not. It
may have been simply a social
affair but it is passing strange
that only kuown politicians
were invited to the “banquet
hall. ’*
Hon. Philip Cook is very like¬
ly to be the next Secretary of
State. The name is very fa¬
miliar to the people of Georgia
and sounds well in connection
with the Secretaryship.
One of the biggest political
queries that is passing in the
minds of our home people is
in regard to our next repre¬
sentative, Dr. C. H. Turner is
invariably mentioned in this
line when it is called up in cas¬
ual conversation and the opin¬
ion prevails that should he en¬
ter the race he would be a sure
winner. The Doctor, however,
says nothing.
Our present representative,
Hon. R. II. ? Cannon, is, so far,
the only candidate in the field,
and it may be that lie will have
the field to himself.
It is now rumored that Rock¬
dale will furnish a candidate for
clerk of the next House. We
are not authorized to write the
gentleman’s name yet hut he
is most sure to enter this con¬
test.
