Death of George c. Hardin.

The death of George C. Hardin, late
chief accountant for Goldberg, Bowen
g. Co., will be greatly felt by that firm
He began active life in the civil war as
a Confederate soldier at the age of sew
enteen. After the war he became book
keeper for a large wholesale boot and
shoe house of Louisville, Ky, his ma
tive city. This vocation he followed
until his death. He was of a very re-
firing disposition, belonging tono orders
or associations. He was highly res
pected iby those who knew him for his
integrity of character. He was twice
married and leaves a son of eight years
of age. He was forty nine years old

t. Est thing a canaiiata 20: ah,c
has ~ learn is how to approach a man
whose support he desires. Taere a,e
many men who Ike to have candidates
plead with them, ana they make prom
Uses and give encouragement to all OF
fee seekers. On the contrary there are
men who feel insulted if a candidate ap'
nroaches them. AMI the best way to get
ON the good side of such voters Is for the
candidate to get his friends 10 do the
talking for him. There is still another
class Of voters who know how to treat a
candidate ciyily and listen patiently to
his claims for support, provided ne
doesn t put in TOO many claims, and If
he becomes too pressing he IS very apt
to lose where he expects 10 gain. 1t
wont do TO presume o much, or lose
sight of the fact that all of the other
candidates also have claims that have to
be considered al the polls. As a general
thing. where there is only a choice to be
made for a party nomination, voters are
often bothered about how to choose from
the list when all are friends, and it
sometimes hlppens that no candidate is
marked.
To be driven by external motives from
the path which our own Judgment ap'
proves, to give way to anything but
conviction, to suffer the opinion of 9TH
era to rule our choice OIL overpower our
resolves, is to submit tamely to the low
est and most ignominous slavery, and
to resign the right of directing u own
| lives

having for so long a time inhaled so
much dust in our lungs. Farmers are
near through gathering their crops and
looking forward to how they may better
prepare themselves for meeting the agri-
cultural duties of another year. | hope
they will be successful in their laudable
undertaking.
Oh, that our people as a nation would
put a higher appreciation upon their
honest efforts to feed the world, and |
would further wish that | could say

young men to fall more in love with

swelling the ranks of the honest toilers

J.R. Windham's Store Burglarized.s

Last Thursday night Mr.. Jno. Wind
hams store near Fairfield vas broken
open by some midnight providers, who
crawled under the house and pried up
the floor next to the hearth. They took
off a small quantity of goods, but they
were after money and it wasn't there.
On Saturday morning Mr.. Windham
and Constable Evans, with the proper
papers, went to Mr.. Oliver place to
arrest the housebreakers, but instead of
effecting the arrest they had a desperate
fight with several of the negroes, and
Mr.. Windham was compelled to shoot
one of them in the neck, They got the
constable down and pounded his head
, and face with a rock; Mr. Windham' s
left arm was disabled for some time by
being struck with rock, and but for the
fortunate arrival of Mr.. Will Halter on
the scene, the result of the difficulty
would have been much more serious.
Mr.. Halter fired off his pistol, which
had the effect Of scattering the negroes,
and even the negro who was badly
wounded in the neck made his escape.
He is somewhere in the neighborhood,
however, as it is known that he is too
badly hurt to travel very far. One ne
gro who made his appearance with a
| gun. was laid across a log and received
an old fashioned dressing down, and
he was glad to get off with so light a
punishment, considering his otfense.

The second primary in Macon for the
municipal officers was conducted in a
manner that no right minded man can
approve. About twenty illegal votes
we're cast, and ven admitting that all
democrats belonging to the club had a
right to vote in a primary, there were
some who participated in the election
who never claimed to be Democrats.
The managers claimed to have had no
instructions. 1t was probably an over
sight that none were given, but the sec
ton Of the law in relation to qualified
voters in a primary was published for
several weeks in connection with the
election notice, and all ought to have
been governed by it, managers and vo.
tiers alike.
The worst feature of the whole pro-
ceedings was the unauthorized action of
the meeting Monday night in declaring
three candidates for aldermen to be
elected who had not received a majority
of the votes cast in the first primary, and
that, too, in the face of the fact that
nearly every member of the club had
petitioned for a double primary. The
call for the meeting plainly stated it was
for the purpose of electing an executive
committee to canvass the primary votes,
but instead Of attending to that business,
they declared men to be elected who
failed to receive a majority of the votes
cast. 1t was manifestly unfair, and we
enter our protest against any such pro-
ceeding, whether or not we voice the
sentiment Of the voters in the primary.
1t is not true that any such actions give
entire satisfaction. They lack a good
deal Of it.
