THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
RACE.

Lee and McNair will have to run
the race out for Railroad Commits
sioner. Joiner drops out, Lee ran a.
head Of McNair over 5000 votes. Joi-
ner got a substantial vote but fell be-
hind both of these two Had Joiner
got ia the second race with McNair,
the Lee strength woul6 have been
thrown to Joiner, as the good moral
people of this Southern District are
determined not to have a boozer sit
on their Supervisory Board or Rail
roads during the next -four years,
whica are going to be momentouS ones
with respect to railroads. The people
want man in that position who
they can rely upon to remain loyal TO
their interests. \ rum dcbauchee is
not thoroughly reliable The rail
roads should have justice dispensed
to them as well rs the common PEG
pie, but the way in which they now
trample on the rights OF the people
whom they serve as common carriers
has got to be amended and much
modified before the worm which has
turned {the people, will be mollitic6.
From expressions he have heard or
many sides, we draw the conclusion
that the Joiner strength will &c
largely for Lee. Lets a. pull long
and hard to land the clean, sober
man in this office and rebuke with
our votes the aspirant for it who
cant Let the wine Gun alone

A whaling captain invited an Es-
kimo father and mother and daughter
TO dine with him aboard his ship. Tho
daughter was only ten years old, and
yet she weighed lao pounds
When 1t came to eating and drink
ing she drank eight bottles 0f beer
and ate the same amount of food as
was prepared for three men. She was
so full when she got up from the table
that her father had to carry her to
his canoe. and she was hardly seated
IN the craft when she cried out that
she was. hungry and wanted more dih'
neT.
Her father said that she was con-
sidered q delicate child. and he was
afraid she would not live to be WON
an but the whaling captain didht iooA
al II that way. He was re1oiced that
he didn't have her Cor q steads

Our good friend McAlister was
down from Waynesboro Monday
From him we learn that he drew a
losing card out of the election, West
scoring a majority of 298 in the dis
trict over him for State Senator.
Mack takes his defeat very cheerful
ly, and is quickly busying his mind
about other affairs in which there is
more money and possibly less fuss
and worry. It's pleasing to see one
take things 50 philosophieally and is
a clear indicative of the strong cali
bre OF the man. Mack is correct when
he says there 5 nothing in it, for this
Office does not pay as much money as
the costs of the campaign and ex-
penses while at and going to and from
jackson in attendance on the assem-
bly,, will aggregate. All the induce
ments to it is the honors that accrue
to man, and they are pretty dearly
bought. We predict that ia private
life; in the practice of his calling and
whatsoever other work McAlister
may essay to venture upon, that he
will yet serve his country, his state
his section, town and family well; be
is made of that kind of stuff.
