For Congressman, 5th District,

Political Lethargy.
The light vote polled in this coun¬
ty Wednesday should he a source
of annoyance to every loyal dem¬
ocrat in the county. It is true that
there was uo considerable contest
and many staid away from the
polls on that account, but it is no
valid excuse for any man to thus
neglect his party nominees. Now
this apathy must be overcome be¬
fore the November election. TVhen
we come to vote for President and
Congressman we must bear ininind
that there are B(X) solid negro votes
in this county to be counted on the
republican side. There is no
need of speculation on this propo¬
sition for those negroes are going
to vote the .republican ticket
straight. You may add to this
whatever number of white popu¬
lists, in your judgement, remains
in the cocnty who have so far for¬
gotten their allegiance to the south
as to vote the republican ticket,
and it is then .plain that there is
a necessity for an awakening n
moug Democrats for the approach¬
ing Presidential election.
There is every reason for an en¬
thusiastic awakening in this coun¬
ty and wo hope the people will
take it to themselves and urge
their friends to work for a great
Democratic revival for November.
Think this matter over, gentle¬
men, for it is indeed a serious one.
Tf e advertisement of a St. Louis
merchant reads: “We want the
public to know that visitors are
welcome to this store, and that is
what we mean by ‘our latch string
is out. > it Such an announcement
would never have been' made if
there had not been stores where
people feel that their welcome is
not cordial. A newspaper adver¬
tisement is a special invitation to
people, and in the absence of such
au announcement prospective pur
chasers are left iu doubt as to
what would be the nature of their
receptian at the store of the non
advertiser.

Court in Session.
Judge Edward Reagan convened
Rockdale Superior Court here last
Monday morning he having ex¬
changed duties with Judge John S
Candler. The grand jury was duly
sworn in with Mr. W V Almand
as foreman. The Judge delivered
the charge and the jury retired
and worked faithfully to Friday
night when it adjoxirned, .
Judge Reagan has lost no time
in the dispatch of business. He
disposed of the civil docket Mon
dayand Tuesday. Wednesday court
was adjourned on account of the
election. Thurday he reached the
criminal docket and disposed of
all cases that could be tried at this
term.
Solicitor Kitnsey has been faith¬
ful in the discharge of his duties
which were well performed.
Judge Reagan has made a most
favorable impression upon our peo¬
ple by his courtesy and considera¬
tion and for the wisdom and jus¬
tice of his official acts.
The court has ajourned after "a
week of splendid work.
Mr and Mrs. Oscar
worth, of Atlanta, are
some time ,. w ith .,, relatives , near
Smyrna.
Now let the Democrats see to it
that William J Bryan and Lon
Livingston receive a great majority
in this county in the November e
lection.
It is really encouraging to know
that political strife among the
whit, people of Georgia is fast
passi .g out. We truely hope that
the time is mm f- -• distant when
we can again presen: the white
voters of Georgia us a sqjhl Demo¬

It feels so strange upon her hand
that’ she cannot refrain from exarnin
Ing it a dozen times an hour, always,
however, on the sly. On the first night
she sits up an hour later than usual to
admire it boldly in the seclusion of her
own apartment. A frequent kiss is ad¬
ministered to the shining band and its
glittering gem, and during the night
she dreams that it has fallen into a
stream and awakes clutching the fin¬
ger to assure herself that the precious
pledge is st ill secure.
Then, on the following day, she wears
it only in secret, taking care to trans¬
fer it to her pocket at table and when
in the company of intiaiates. but place
her among strangers og among casual
acquaintances who cannot bo inquisi¬

the token before their eyes, as one who
should say: *

I have lauded my fisli.”
Gradually it assumes its place in her
daily life, and her blushes grow less

What the Tots Said.
Here are some sayings of children
reported by the Chicago News:
“When small Bobby bad worn his
first pair of trousers; for an hour, he
went to his mother aud begged to have
on his kilt again. ‘What for?’ she ask¬
ed. ‘Because,’ replied Bobby, ‘I feel
so lonesome in pants.’
“A mother recently had occasion to
leave her little 4-year-old sou alone at
home while she made a brief call in the
neighborhood. ‘Did you get lonesome,
dear?’ she asked upon her return. Wes,
mamma,’ replied the little fellow. ‘I
felt just like a widower without you.

U onlfl Come Anyhow.
The Itev. Father Staunton of the well
known Chur 06 of St. Alban, Holborn,
is a humorist iu his wav and often tells
wlth inimitabIe effcct a droll story in
the course of his sermon which sends
through the congregation a gentle rip¬
ple of merriment. On Sunday he sat¬
irized the ambition of certain people
to use words of which they did not
know the meaning.*; Many of them
were fond of sticking- the letters “D.
V.” in all sorts- of places instead of
using the plain, homely English phrase
“God willing.” He knew, one gentle¬
man, rather shaky in his L&tin, who in
a letter to a friend wrote’“I will be
with you ‘D. V.’ on Monday, but any¬
way on Tuesday.”—London Telegraph.
Why She Was Right.
Haydn had a peculiar way of deter¬
mining the time in which,a piece of
music should. be sung. On one occa¬
sion a female singer in high esteem at
court had been appointed to sing one
of Haydn’s compositions. At the re¬
hearsal she and the conductor differed
as to the time of the music. The mat¬
ter was to be settled by referring it to
Haydn himself. When called on to
decide, he asked the conductor if the
singer was handsome.
“Very,” was the reply, “and a spe¬
cial favorite with the prince.”
“Then she is right.” replied Haydn.
Nosebleed.
To stop bleeding at the nose, cut
some blotting paper about an inch
square, roll it about the size of a lead
pencil and put it up the nostril that is
bleeding. The hollow in it will allow
the sufferer to breathe. The blood will
fill the space between the tube and
the nose and will very soon coagulate
and cease to flow.
