Too Busy to Canvass and Relies
Solely on Hosts of Kind
Friends.

BRIDGEPORT. Noy .16-Several
days ago your correspondent jesting-
ly made the prophecy that Sham
poo" Welch. who was then in the
lead. and A. D. Fitzhugh, would
change positions in the Telegram's
popularity contest in a Jew days.
And although we disclaim any dis
position to be a prognosticator, our
prophecy proved true in this case:
for on Thursday Mr.. Fitzhugh cast
over $4,000 ballots, forcing Mr..
Welch back to second place. We
congratulate Mr.. Welch, however,
because of the fact that he is not
content to occupy any position ex-
cept that at the head OF the process
sion. The Telegram rightly said
yesterday: 1T is hard to keep a
good man down" The fact is, it
can't be done at all. A good man
is like truth, which, though crush
ed to earth, will rise again" Hence
the popular Pike street mans rise
to the position of first place.
Since the male leaders in this
contest are evidently Fitzhugh and
Welch tnot to mention Mr.. Lorentz,
who may figure as the dark horse'')
1t is only just, we think, for the
general public to know and appre-
ciate Mr.. Fitzhugh's situation. He
is postmaster at Bridgeport, where
the duties of his Office require his
entire time and attention. He has
neither the time nor disposition to
canvass the county for subscribers.
A large per cent. of the subscrib-
ers whom he has secured for the
Daily Telegram, have voluntarily
placed their names upon the sub
scription list. This, we submit, is
significant fact, for it shows the at
titude of the people of Simpson dis
trict toward this up-to-date paper
The Daily Telegram The contest
being largely advertised, brought
home to the people the fact that
they needed good daily, hence we
say they volunteered their subscrip-
tion.
Another fact to the credit of Mr..
Fitzhugh, and high compliment to
the Telegram, is that nine Demo
Gratis in Bridgeport and vicinity,
have placed their order with Mr.
Fftzhugh for The Daily Telegram.
These nine gentlemen deserve to be
congratulated because they have
manifested the rzcper spirit While
the Telegram is a Republican paper
1t is also newspaper. and news is
what the reader wants. Any man,
of any political complexion, can read
this paper without having to use
political cosmetic

MANGLED
In Horrible Manner is Wen Known
Colored Mans Right Leg
by Train.

Mat Henderson, familiarly known
as Doc Henderson, we'll known
colored man, lies in a critical condi-
tion in ST. Mary's hospital as the re-
suit of a distressing accident at the
Baltimore & Ohio passenger station
Friday evening in which he had his
right leg cut OF by the wheels of a
passenger coach.
Henderson had been to Macon do
ing Job of work and vas return
ing to the city on the accommoda-
tion No. 72 due here at 1870 O'Clock
in the evening Before the train
stopped at the station, the brake
man called out the station and Hen
derson, thinking that the train had
come to a standstill, stepped OF up
on the platform. He was thrown
backwards underneath the train and
the wheels of coach passed over
his right leg crushing it from the
knee down. Trainmen carried him
into the baggage room of the depot
and q physician who was hurriedly
hospital at once. There is was found
necessary to amputate the crushed
limb just below the knee joint.
The unfortunate man suffered the
loss of considerable amount of
blood and consequently is in very
weak condition.
Henderson had been employed at
a number of places in the city and
recently had been working at the
-Clifford-osboru undertaking estab-
lishment.

religious teachings. Probably the ma.
iority Of them had heard al that the
church has TO say before they pinned
thelr faith to Dowie.
II was claimed for Dowle that no

could not or did not: that he covered

higher In the social scale than that

bis fame was az It's height the secular

earnestness and tremendous force. This
View Of IL made him a man Tor the

nowie's business projects aud the
