on anyone. They canvassed a large

the only person who could be taken
UP is someone like Ex-senator Berry

As to Unfairness.

AS to the unfairness of the county
committee in certain matters it is
agreed by all who ere without prejudice
that unfairness WIS used. The ballot
was not such ballot as the best citi-
zens could wish. There was this i'm
provement, however, over the ballot of
two years ago. that the names OF the
delegates were placed right next the
candidate for congress instead Of be-
Ing widely separated as two years ago.
But many citizens declared that the
names OF the candidates for congress
ought to have ben printed In larger or
blacker type, and that the legend vote
for one only" ought to have been om-
rnitted from connection with Prouty's
name or to have been also placed in
connection with Hu1ps nanse. AS for
the paper on which the ballot was print
ed it was paper that was very much
stronger and better and more suited to
the purpose than that used in prior ell
ections. AS for the unfairress in sell
ection OF Judges the most that could be
said of the county committee work this
year is that 1t was not any worse than
the gross urfairness of the committee
two years ago. though the best citizens
felt thatSto be no excuse or justifica-
ton. The committee kept at all times
we'll within the rules.

LAST OF THE "OLD GUARD y
Gen. Gordon, Famous Confederate
Commander, Passes Peacefully
Away at Miami, Fla.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 11.-Lieut.- Gen.
John Brown Gordon died at his win
ter home near Miami, Fla, at 1905
Saturday night. His bearing during
the civil war was characterized by
boldness and a dash which made him
the idol of his soldiers. In an official
report of Gen. D. H. Hill, Gen. Gordon
was characterized as the chevalier
Bayard Of the confederacy.
When hostilities were ended he
called his men about him and advised
them to bear the trial of defeat, to go
home in peace, obey the laws and re-
build the wasted country.
Since his retirement from political
activity he has devoted much of his
time to lecturing, presenting to the
north as well as to the south his lee
ture up "The Last Days of the Con-
federacy."
Since the organization of the United
Confederate Veterans he has held the
position of it's ommander-in-chief, and
his frequent reflections to that posi-
ton have testified to the warmth of
affection in which he has been held
in the south.
The remain will be SHIPPED from Mi
ami this morning and will reach At

request of Gov. Terrell of Georgia,
Con Gordon'S hOdy will lie in state In
