UNRESTRICTED DELEG ATEs.
The Sentiment in Favor of Them
Taking Root in Houston County.

The Sentiment in Favor of Them
Taking Root in Houston County.
FORT VALLEY, GA, June 21.-Editor
Morning Nea0S: l notice with pleasure
that your paper has suggested that unin-
struoted delegates be sent TO the coming
Gubernatorial Convention, or, in other
words, that they should have the option,
circumstances seeming to favor the pro-
Ject, to choose some other than either
Gordon or Bacon as the standard bearer
OF Georgia Democracy. / like the idea,
and address you for the purpose Of say
ing, through your widely circulated and
altogether fair newspaper, the idea IS one
tnat thinking men would like to see car
rled out In our county (Houston)
movement is now on
loot looking to elecung an
uninstructed delegation. l do not know
yet with what success TINS movement will
be met. as the friends OF Gen. Gordon are
strong and look upon this as a movement
OF the Bacon men. l think, however,
good and true men will be sent who will
not sacrlnce the good of the party simply
to satisfy the greed OF Office seekers or
tricky politicians. | am not alone in hop
ing that your plan for uninstructed dele
gates should be encouraged, and ! thInk
Houston can be relied on as throwing
her influence for a candidate not
now in the field, If she has suf-
hcient encouragement from other coun
ties. She recognizes that the campaign
has been very bitter one, and calculated
to engender feeling not easily overcome.
If either Gordon or Bacon is nominated,
there are many men In our county, and |
presume all over the State, who do not
hesitate to say they will not support
them.
Enough has been said on either side, If
true, to render both OF them unft for the
position to which they aspire. l hope the
counties not yet instructed will consider
the matter and send delegates that may
be relied on to use their judgment when
the emergency arises. HOUSTON.

he Two Messrs. Quimby and Nr. Hood
Io.c their Lives nt Hawks Nest.

Information was received in this city
Yesterday Of the drowning in the river
near Hawks Nest. W. Va, Of Mr..
Franklin II. Quimby and his brother
and Mr. Hood.
These gentlemen were in the engineer
service Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company, and had some work
to 90 on the south side Of the river.
With Mr.. IIaiDes, of Richmond, and
two axemen, they attempted to cross in
a boat, and the stream being high and
the current swift, the frail craft was
upset and the two brothers and Mr..
Hood lost their lives. The others made
their way to land.
At last accounts the dead bodies had
not been recovered.
Mr. F. II. Quimby two weeks ago
married a New York lady, and his wife
was at Hawks Nest when the disaster
occurred. The Quimbys were from
Maryland. They usually had their
headquarters here in Richmond, and
we're well known in this community.
Mr.. Hood was from Kentucky, and
belonged to a family distinguished in
that State.
The three unfortunate gentlemen
stood high in the estimation of all their
acquaintances, and were able and
trusted officers Of the company. All
who knew them will grieye to learn Of
their sad fate.
