NOT LESS THAN 28,000.
J
■ Is the Estimate at Midnight of
the Majority For Atkinson.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 8. —AV. V .
Atkinson, democrat, is re-elected
governor by a majority of not less
than 28,000 which is an increase of
6,0(10 over the party majority of
two years ago. The situation at
midnight is very complex, and the
result is largely guess work.
Fulton county, in which this
city is situated, has givenJAtkinson
a majority of 1,000, whore two
years ago it gave a majority of 1,-
80C.
Bibb county this year gives a
majority of 600, and two years ago
it gave the democrats a majority
of 3,000.
In tho Tenth district, which is
the home of Thomas Watson, the
democratic majority was dropped
from 8,000 to 2,000. It is general
ly conceded however, that Atkinson
has carried the state by at least
28,000 and the returns are expect
ed by his friends to show that he
has a majority that may perhaps
; reach 35,000. The balance of the
ticket wins by 40.000.
Dade County.
Trenton, Ga., Oct. 7. —The can
didates elected today are : Repre
sentative, S. R. Deakins, populist ;
. ordinary J. A. Cureton; sheriff,!
James Hall: tax assessor I). 11.
Rogers; treasurer. William Woods.
The race for clerk is very close
; between T. H. B. Cole and J. R. A
cuff, with one precinct to hear
! from, and the race between C. A
Bryan and G. W. Hughes for tax
collector.

Walker County.
LaFayette, Ga., Oct. 7. —The
entire democratic ticket was elec
ted in this county today. Atkin
son carries the county by about
500 majority. T. F. McFarland
; defeats Cameron for state senator
!by 650 in this county, and Col. F
W. Copeland is elected representa-
■ tive by at least 500
' The office most doubtful is coun
ty treasurer, but it is believed that
1 the democratic nominee will win.
1 ~
, Wright will probably carry
Floyd county by 200 majority whi e
regular Democratic nominees will
L be elected except Corput. Shrop
shire will receive a good majority
. 1 although the count was not com
pleted at 12:30 today, (Thursday.)
i
, Tho asperities of the present
I presidential campaign could be
softened very much if the ‘‘un
! speakable Turk” and the haughty
Spaniard could be coupled up in a
light to a finish. Such a contest
would provoke a genuine of
religious fooling on this side the
, herring pond.

People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood's Sarsaparilla. It fur
nishes the desired strength by puri
fying, vitalizing and enriching the
blood, and thus builds up the nerves,
tones the stomach and regulates the
whole system. Read this:
“ I want to praise Hood's Sarsaparilla.
1 My health run down, and I had the grip,
i After that, my heart and hervous system
were badly affected, so that I could not do
my own work. Our physician gave me
■ some help, but did not cure. I decided
j to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could
do all my own housework. I have taken
Cured
Hood's Pills with Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and they have done me much good. I
will not be without them. I have taken 13

“MAYLE A SERMON-
MAY BE A SONG.”j
In beginning this my eyes roam
over the N ;.ws sanctum in search of
an inspiration. (Newspaper people '
are always on the lookout for “inspi- [
ration,” I think). There certainly
docsnot seem to be anything very
suggestive of story or song in this
place, even with the golden September j
sunliglit streaming in. It is dusty and :
cobwebby and the ink stains are every-1
where; editorials on carelessness and I
haste written on desk and floor. The J
lady on the calendar, arrayed for the
opera in a royal purple frock and a
haughty am, looks wofully out of place
against the dusty wall.
But my eyes alight on a bunch of
clippings hanging from a copy hook at
the side of the desk. Things that the
editor thought good and cut them out
to publish and they have been crowded
out from week to week by something
more important. There is a story of
an old man who travelled for an un
dertaking establishment and carried a
gruesome “sample,” the. body of a
young girl embalmed with the new
fluid he was selling. A clever love
story comes next. Then a snake story,
cut out in the festive springtime, prob
ably. And a lot of all sorts of clever
yarns, most of I hem yellow with the
; dust of two or three years. Good read
ing, but it is doubtful if the editor will
: ever find room for them.
i So I think 1 will hang a talc on that
old copy hook, myself—or, maybe it
were best called a moral. All of us
have copy hooks in our sanctums upon
which are hung good intentions, charm
ing letters we intend to write, sweet
words of friendly praise we will say—
sometime! and pleasant little things we
will do. These things we truly interni
' to publish but this is a work-a-day
world and one hasn’t much time, you
know. That is true; this present, this
now, is all the time we’ve got, so let
us crowd it full; wc have an opportun
ity only once; others may come but
that one is gone. Words of praise filly
spoken are silver chains which lift as
up out of depths of despondency and
make us feel that the world does know
[ a good thing when it sees it, after all.
Yes, if your heart overflows with
I love to your fellow man and you feel
. like slapping him on the back and tell
-1 ing him about it, why just sail in. And
if he seems surprised and asks you
, what office you are running for, don’t
get disgusted and say “that fellow
• Slympkins hasn’t a spark of senti-
J ment.” You have done your duty; it
, does not matter at all if Slympkins is
unable to appreciate it. Probably the
poor fellow does not expect anybody
but candidates lo talk that way to him.
And you married men—if you love
your wives do tell them so. And if
you ever hurt their feelings tell them
you are sorry; it is a little outlay on
your part but it meaus a great deal to
them. It must be rather hard, though,
to make love to a woman in a mussed
wrapper and curl papers just as you
did when she appeared on the paternal
front porch in a white frock, and you
had a notion that she was an angel
swathed in moonlight. lam rather
fastidious, myself, and I cannot imag
ine, under any circumstances, my
sunny locks nestling against a mussy
tie and a shirt front stained with to
bacco. E. C.
Obituary,
Charlie G. Bryant, eldest son of
Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Bryant, was
born May 1, 1878, died August 12,
1896.
Charlie was sick several months
previous to his death, and while
the worst was long expected, and
the final result of the continued
illness wao no surprise to his
friends, yet the announcement that
Charlie Bryant was dead brought
I genuine grief and sorrow to many
hearts.
All that considerate friends
could do, all that a fond father
and devoted mother could do, all
that medical skill could suggest
i were done for him, yet without a
vail. The sympathy of friends,
the skill of learned physiciansand
I the tender watchful care of loving
parents failed to arrest the mighty
hand of death which had been laid
upon him.
He suffered long, but he bore his
sufferings like a hero. Never have
we seen more patient suffering
i than was exemplified by him, nev
er murmuring or complaining.
He was not a member of the
church, but surely no one could
have borne affliction as he did,
without the grace of God to sustain
him. He talked frequently about
dying, but never did a doubt or a
fear seem to come over his rnind.
He found strength and consolation I
in believing on the Lord and Savior ,
Jesus Christ.
Charlie was a proverbially good
boy. His fidelity to his compan
ions and friends, his high regard
for his teachers, his tender love
and affection for the members of ,
his own family and his unflinching
devotion to truth and duty com
manded for himself the love and i
espect of everyone
