And then there are the Maddox congressional del egates yet to be added . * * * Now it seems to me that matters can be simplified very much on this delegate business. Let the people vote for Crisp or dußignon and for Maddox or Milner and then let the chairmen of the Dem ocratic executive committee ap point the delegates from among the followers of the respective candi dates. It would save a world of trouble and accomplish the same ends just as effectively. * * ♦ Talking about the crowd out at rhe meeting of the Floyd County Convention at Fellowship yester day, one of the natives remarks , that “all the candidates were there except one—and nobody knew him nohow.” Os course nearly ever body else was out there and the j two wells of water will not soon! be forgotten by—the fellows who sometimes take water. * * * “Eid we disturb the c >.u".?’’ 1 was at the foot of the back stairs ■a the court house and my ques tioner was that clever member ot the tribe of Smith,Clerk Halsted of the city hall, “No —not that I know of; but what was the mat ter?” I replied. “Oh, not much,” said he, “County School commis sioner James D. Gwaltney and I were only whispering over a few secrets.” Being a “little hard of hearing” don’t keep these two worthies from being two of the cleverest, and most genial officers in the public service. * * * The expense of new crossings on lower Broad street has been about settled. The granite ribbons that band the macadam will be there, and coming generations will put a foot down on the work now be ing done by street overseer Givin. Let the good work proceed. * * , * A few people who were enthusi astic advocates of the primaries, when they succeeded in putting that new departure on the people of 'he county—seem to be weak ening. The ardour of their en thusiasm is cooling rapidly, so rapidly in fact that 1 fear they will “go fishing” on election day. Dont do it boys,“tote fair” and stand to the rack even if the stronger horse gets most of the fodd< r * * * You can say what you please, but Felix Corpnt is making a win ning race fir the Legislature. At least thats the way it looks to me ; —while the fight is raging. * * * Only a few more days and the sweet girl graduate will have wrap ped her sheepskin about her liter ary training and departed those coasts, while the merchant will have begun the “closing at 6 cus tom” and the weary over-worked clerks will have a chance for rec reati n. * » * From every section of the coun try I hear a report from the good c tizens. the tone of which is about as "un inimous” as it is pleasing.

The McConnell ticket is undoubtedly the strongest ticket the peiple have had a chance to vote for in many years. Its majority will be a heavy one ‘Mark that predic- tion. * * * Mrs. Claud C. Wardlaw “nee” Miss Fannie Benedict, of Atlanta, is visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. J F. Wardlaw, 622 Ave. A. Mr. Wardlaw is an old Rome boy and it will doubtless be a surprise to his many friends here that he is at last a “Benedict.” He is nowon a business trip to South Carolina, and will join his bonuie bridejhere in a few days they will make their home i- £ h■-> Ga e City . Mr. D. P. 1 vis, prominent liveryman and m mt of Gosh en, Va., has this to say on the subject of rheumatism: “I take great pleasure in recommending Chamberlain’s Pam Balm for rheumatism, as I know from per sonal experience that it will do all that is claimed for it. A year ago this spring my brother was laid up in bed with inflammatory rneuma ti"in and suffered intensely. The first application of Chamberlain's Palm Balm eased the pain and the use o f one bottle completely cured him.” For sale by Lowry Bros. Druggist cor. Broad 't., and 4th.
