NE HANKERs FOR OFFICE.

A Candidate For Secretary of State Who
Is Ninety Years Old and Wears Three
Pairs of Spectacles-He Does Not Re-
member Recent Events, Bat Is All
Right Tu the "Fsrties."
ATLANTA, GA August l6.-Among the
other nominations made BY the Georgia
Democratic Convention was that of the
Hon. Nathan Barnett, for Secretary OF
State. Mr.. Barnett is perhaps one Of the
Oldest oeice-holders in the world, being
now ninety years Of age, and having
held his present office since 1872.
Mr.. Barnett wss born in Columbus Coun-
ty while yet it was an Indian country,
and AS a. infant had several mar
row escapes from the tomahawk. He
grew up to be man Of splerdid physique,
six feet six inches in height, lean in flesh,
with long, crane-ike neck. When
elected Secretary OF State forty-two years
ago he was , man of much prominence,
but held on to his Office so long that the
people forget he existence Of beth the man
and his o;iee. When reconstruction
measures nesessitsted the clearing out of
the State HOase Barnett was fSand to- be
still there. and as soon as the Republicans
gave I'D the State he was found there again.
OF late years be has become extremely
sensitive as to ais age. When asked the
question recently he took the ques-
toner away into the darkest recess OF his
Office and pleaded that nothing be said about
thot question, because. said he the peo-
pie are calling so much for young men in
Office that it nigh, defeat me When the
canvass Just closed for State House officers
Was begun the old man for the first time in
his life so far yielded to modern require
ments as TO write a card 70 the people
announcing himself in the race. Georgia
being one OF the original States. and her
Government only dating back $50 years,
Secretary Barnetts memory takes in over
onehaH of that era. He1ce he is one Of
greatest authorities upon matters Of titles.
etc. A singular feature Of his memory IS
that he does not remember recent events.
Speaking to friend be could give but very
little information as so matters happening
in recent years, bEt when conversation
drifted back to 1924. he spoke Of events OF
that date with the greatest viTscity. At
the age of 60 he married 9 girl Of l6. He
now wears three pairs Of spectacles hrdged
upon each other.

The Singular Fatality Connected With .
Late blooming shrnn.
PrrrsBURG, August l6.-Abo;i one mile
from HarmerviIle, on tie West Peen Rail
road, resides Mr.. Austin Brady. who has
lost number of members Of his family IN
q singular manner. The last one was .
boy FIVE years old named Harry, who in
company with his sister were playing last
Saturday some distance from the house.
They got into nest Of black hornets and
both children were frightfully stung BY
the insects. 1t resulted in blood poisoning,
causing the death of the boy last Wednes-
day. The body Of the little girl was
terribly swollen, but rupture Of the skin
saved her life. Upon the family home
stead near the house is SNOWFALL bush,
connected with which is singular story.
Henry Brady, a nephew Of Austin, died on
August 20, 1878, at which time the bush
bore a sissls blossom, which was put on the
body. 1t was thought singular then that
the bush should flower so late in the year,
but singuIarly enough At the deaths Of Jose
phine Henderson, a niece Of Bradys, and
John Brady, kis brother, and his SON Harry,
the bush vas again in blossom. Each died
on August Is, except Harry, who died on
the lsth. The plant only sends forth one
of these late blossome each year, and it has
been thus used at four funerals in the fam.

the cars at the Union depot, or what will be
the Union depot twelve months hence,
What They Long for.
And vet, Buckhannons is only one Of
the many instances Of what railroads can do
for country. Ii is not surprising that the
people further on in the interior are long
ing for the time to come when capital and
enterprise shall reach their borders und un-
lock their doors, that plenty and prosperity
may dwell within their walls. Unfortu-
nately for the development of our rich
young state there is good deal Of the
musty elements of old fogyism among our
people, which has stood as bar to its pro-
gress and prosperity. 1t is powerful ele-
ment, because it comprises the old leaders
who moulded public sentiment in former
days, when their anh9uated ideas were
adapted to the conditions which then ex-
isted. But we have passed into new era,
and stand on another stage where different
principles apply and other methods are nee,
essary to carry us forward with the onward
tide of progression.
The Dry Spell of Weather
has been serious injury to this interior
section. While the wheat harvest was
good one the drought has cut the corn very
short and is burning the pastures. As
grazing and stock raising is the principal
business of the interior counties, this be-
comes a calamity. People are compelled
to ship their stock earlier than they are &C
customed to do, and at the same time the
cattle are not in as good order as they
should be. Consequently heavy loss is
entailed on the cattle men by the dry
weather. The streams are drying up and
in some localities water famine is threat
ened. The cool August weather has been
so unreasonable that a good deal of sick
ness has been produced So taking it al
together the farmers have rather more just
grounds for their proverbial grunbGng
than is usually the case.
Political Outlook.
Politics are being discussed little in
quiet way, but there is no marked enthusi-
asm. A sort of apathy exists among all
parties, but by the time the candidates get
around and stir the people up there will be
more activity From indications there will
be the usual polling ofvotes with the usual
results Democrats will vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and Republicans and Green
hackers will vote the fusion ticket Theim-
preston that Mr.. Wilson is going to plant
himself on the Democratic State platform,
and in opposition to the Jackson supple
mental assessment vagary, is helping the
Democratic ticket wonderfully among the
farmers
Some interest is being manifested with
reference to the Congressional nominations
in the First district. Democratic sentiment
in the southern end of the district is di-
vided between Frame, Brannon and Wilson.
The Republicans are unanimous for Goff,
if he will accept and in case he does not
enter the race, will support Hubbard. 1t
is conceded by all parties that the ground
in the First district will be hotly contested
with the advantage in favor of the Demo
Gratis, if they are wise in their nomination.
The Second and Third districts are con-
ceded to the Democrats, but the FuSionistS
will contend for the Fourth.

NEW YORK. August lG.-John Hurtz
came to this country from Austria a year

about week ago, and were temporarily
staying at John Hurts house, in Paterson,
n. j.. Tillman expecting to 60 into busi-
ness. Jast evening Jacob Hurtz stole the
satchel containing Tillman's money. He
lost an envelope containing 81 $50 in paper
money, for which the police are looking.
Jacob Hurtz was arrested as he was about
to take train on the Erie for New York
and 81, $50 in gold was found on him. He
had cut open the satchel and transferred
the contents to his pockets except the en-
velope which he lost. The satchel also con-
tanned several gold watches, which were
found on Hurtz. He admits the theft.
