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.

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. Nervous 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.

(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 SPARKS, BRANNON & C0.,4- 233 Broad St., ROME, GA.
