HARDEMAN TO SUCCEED NORTHERN.
MACON, GA, July S.-Col. Hardemans
friends fully realize that his health is in
too precarious a state to allow him to risk
any excitement. They are determined,
however to find some means of testifying
to their appreciation of his services.
One of the members of the State Agri-
cultural Society said to-day: Although
Col. Hardeman is in no condition to run for
governor, there is no reason why he should
not be elected president of the State Agri-
cultural Society, and that is just what will
be done"
''Col. Northen, as everybody knows, will
retire at the next meeting, and there is no
man in Georgia nearly as well fitted to
assume the important duties as Col. Harde-
man.
There has been, | see, some talk that
Col. John o. Waddell might be elected, but
such a thing is impossible. Col. Waddell is
an excellent man and he would make good
president, but the present office which he
holds in the agricultural department would
render him ineligible. He would have to
resign a good salary to accept a poor one,
and if he did not do so the society would
virtually be merged into the agricultural
department of the state, which would never
do.
Altogether there is no one in Georgia
half as well fitted as Col. Hardeman, and
believe he will be the next president of the
agricultural society"
