A KLUSTER OF
BULLS EYE SHOTS
lu looking over the returns from
Saturday’# primary election I no
ticed that Treasurer J. B Hill poll
ed the largest vote of any candidat
in the field —true, Mr. Hill had no
oponent but then he seldom, if ever
has. His bond isavery he«vyone
while the salary of his 'Office is en
tirely too small,being only SSO per
month. 1 would like to see it in
creased by at least 50 per cent.
Jimmie Hill is a matchless treas
urer.
* *
*
Next to Mr. Hili, with his total
vote of 2493, comes Ordinary
John P. Davis with a total of
2280. Judge Davis had no oposi
tion —he is nominated for re
election and will of course win
this fall. Judge Davis’ term of offi
ce will be four years, the same as
County Commissioners, while the
other county officers are elec'ed
for only two years. John P. Davis'
makes a model Ordinary.
* *
*
The third largest vote as shown
by the returns was for Chas. F
Crisp for the United States Sen«J
tor. Mr. Crisp’s friends thonghr j
that a young man of Savannali w. <
in the race against him, but the re
turns shows that Mr. dußigno 1
friends nude a mistake when they
though they had a man in the ffi Id.
Mr. dußignon only receive ; 191
votes in the entire entity—not
tnuch ot a showing foi gonl against
gold and silver.
*
* *
Fourth on the list comes Judge
John W. Maddox, on whom a
fight had been made became of th
recent appointment of the Post
master at this city. Judge Mad
dox received 1702 votes to his
oponents 349. What better endorse
ment could “Our John,” one of
the best Congreismen in the
Bloody Seventh ,asks at the hands
ofhis home people? Judge Mad
dox is certain of re-election next
fall, over all oponents. Mark that
prediction.
*
* *
The fifth man on the list is W.
M. Gammon, that old warhorse of
pure democracy, who has always
stood flatfooted on the financial
question and advocated gold and
silver at a ratio of 16 to I—and
let the European take care of its
self. Col. Gammon heads Floyd’s
delegation to the State conven
tion, with 1608 votes.
***
The sixth man on the list of
big votes, is Capt. C. N. Feather
ston, who heads the new Board of
County Commissioners with a
vote of 1601. This is indeed a high
compliment paid to Capt. Feath
erston by his fellow citizens. He
did no canvassing but Seab Wright
did. The truth is, Seab took off
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
waded in for all it was worth.
And when Seab does take a hand
for a fellow, he proves a whole
team'for his side,and a holy terror
for the other fellow.
*
* *
In the legislative race more
than 200 “bob tailed" tickets were
voted. These tickets left off most
of the names being vo'ed for, and
rushed Capt. John Beese and Mr.
J. F. Wardlaw. The tickets were
voted by prohibitionists, and re
sulted in nutting Capt. Reese at
the head of the ticket with 1572.
Col. Bill Ennis was second, how
ever, with 1423, while Capt. Cor
put only defeated Major Fouche
with 1061 to 1(37. Capt. J. Lind
say Johnson got a redhot 1009 and
Mr. Ward'aw 767. •
★ *
*
One of the most surprising
shows ot strength was made by
Mr. C. J. Price against Tax Col
lector John I. Black. Everybody
knows John Black ■ ml everybody
knows him to the 1 n-t lax col"
I,ctor in the State. Dunng the
campaign, the old warhorse did
no canvassing. He did not leave
the city. On the other hand Mr.
PiicH, a quiet, umest. kindl ■
hearted gentleman tint
bustling to come to the city with
a small majority. The total re
turns however gave Mr. Black a
majority ot 258.
* •»
*
For Sheriff, there were some
blunders made in the campaign by
the old ticket. One of them,the one
that proved fatal, in North Caro
lina and other districts, was in
permitting Mr.R. B. Mcarver, a
well known fence man. to be dro
ped from th* ticket and the name
of Capt. Thompson Hiles, whose
views on finance did not suit the
masses and whose position on fence
was unknown to them. This cue
was seized by that fine organizer,
Vince Sanford, and worked oust
effectively.
* *
*
Then, again, Sheriff McConnell
and his deputies felt over confi
dent, knowing they could depend
on some 1300 or 1400 voters, and
not believing there were over 2000
white democrats in the County.
Mr. Ed Camp with Dan Byars and
Farris Nixon in the couty, Tom
Cornelius in the city, just simply
found more voters than we believed
existed in the county. They made
a magnificent race, doing much
better than I had ever believed
they could do. Mr. McConnells
majority of 169, however, is ample
and was a safe one.
* *
*
As to Cl rk. Vince Sant rd shoed
wonderful nerve to begin with
when he decided to tackle such a
model officer as Will Beysiegel.
His bril iancy as an organizer and
an untiring fighter, however, was
fully equal to his nerve at the ou'-
set. hence his astonishing show of
strength, when he rolled up a vote
of 1152 to Mr. Beysiegel’s total of
1443. Me did this under fatal
handicaps too. I heard Mr. San
s rd pledge Mr. Beysiegel to take
off his coat, if need be, this fall
and bring in increased majorities
from his country strong-holds.
And he will do it too.
* *
Some weeks ago I made occasion
to say that Bob Foster was the
strongest young man in the coun
ty. What more proof can be asked
than to offer in evidence the fol
lowing figures from the primary
returns: For Tax Assessor: R. L.
Foster 1393, Paul D. Reese 819,R.
H. West 367. He has actually re
ceived 207 more votes than did
his two c pponents, and they are
tv o cf the cleverest men in the
county. Bob is a “reglar good un.”
* *
♦
For Coroner, Fred Schlapbach
simply surprised the natives. He
led the old ticket with his city
majority and defeated Mr. God
dard, one of the best known boys
in the county, by a majority of
279 votes. Schlapbach is one of
the most loyal as we'l as most
fearless men in the county.
*

As to the Board of Commission
ers of Roadsand Revenue, the
Hustler of Rom it ticket put in
three men —not a member of the
old board, however,was renomina
ted.
*
* *
Capt. Featherston leads with
1601; D. W. Simmons, of Cave
Springs, with 1436; Dr. W. C.
Nixon, of Nannie, with 1318; Mr.
R. B. McCarver, of Coo‘a, with
1306 and Aiderman George Tram
mell, of North Rome, for fifth man
This is a splendid board of men,

Here is a clipping from the
Thomaston Times that I desire to
reproduce because of the high com
pliments paid one of Romes fair
daughters, now a happy bride of
that little city:
“Col. Olin T. Lester arrived from
Rome last evening. He was acorn
pan ied by the lady to whom he
was married a few hours previous
and they were drive to the Sand
wich House where they spent the
night.*The bride and groom were
cordialy received by kind friends,
and many’ congratulations were
extended.”
* *
*
“Col. Lester has been a resident
of Thomaston for quite a number
of years.lt was here that he read,
was admitted to the bar and has
since been engaged in the practice
of his efioson profession. Col. Le
ster is always in a good humor, full
of life and his urbane disposition
has gained j.for him many firm
friends, who will be glad to hear
of his connubial venture.”
* *
*
“Mrs. Lester, nee Miss Inez
Jack, was a resident of Rome,
where she enjoyed .an enviab e
position m society. She is an aetve
member of the Methodist church
a id an earnest Christian worker.
She is cultured, possesses many
I eautiful attainm nts and in her
Col. Lester has a jewell”.
