The candidacy OF the Hon. John F. De
Lacy Of Eastman, for Judgeship Of the
/ Oconee circuit, is favorably spoken Of by
the press and people OF not only his own
county and circuit, but by the Brunswick
circuit as well. For quite number OF
years Mr.. DeLacy was practitioner OF
law In the Brunswick circuit, and his
brain, honesty and integrity have never
been questioned. and impartiality char
acterized his career as lawyer and cit
izen.
II Mr.. Cobb can't get an office from the
populists he can satisfy his soul on their
commendation. The Peoples Party Pa

York itself-dld this gallant southern
boy-and amid the festivities Of the Bry-

speak boldly for Watson and the south.

Charleston News and Courier: At the
late military celebration in Orangeburg
young T. r. r. Cobb made rafting sort
of speech and as he did not want anything
that Senator Tillman had he was receiv-
ed with much favor. 1t was understood
then, and we have heard since, that Mr..
Cobb had gone into politics not for the
rewards OF Office, but for the benefit of
his fellow citizens and fellow sufferers.
We hoped that we had found at last an
unselfish politician, but now comes the
Savannah News and tells us that at a
populist meeting in Atlanta on Tuesday
night Mr. Cobb occupied a front seat on
the platform and dismissed the meeting
with a rafting speech in which he ex-
planned why he was for Bryan and Wat
SON." This was on Tuesday night. On
Wednesday Mr.. Cobb formally announced
that ''he will enterer the race for congress
as an independent candidate" What a
pity, what a pityl
