DEATH OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON.

DEATH OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON.
The death of Governor John A. John
son, Of Minnesota, which took place
Tuesday as the result of surgical
operation, lie fearful loss to the coun-
/ try, and removes from the Democratic
party one of its best and strongest men.
| A year or so before the nomination of
Bryan, Henry Watterson declared that
| he could name a Westerper whom the
Democrats could elect to the presi-
dency. johnson was the man to whom
he referred. James ] Hill, the great
/ financier, was for johnson. The New
| York World, the most powerful Demo-
cratic paper in America, was very
strongly for him. He was a man who,
while very close to the people and in
full sympathy with them, was regarded
as safer than Bryan and more practical.
He would have been satisfactory to the
conservative element, but it could not
have been charged that he was in SYM
pathy with the special interests thai
prey upon the people through power
over the government. His record was
stainless his character above the posi-
bility OF suspicion; and his heart was
right. There are those who say he
lacked the information and training
called for by the presidency, but We
cannot think so. Johnson came up
from the depths of poverty. His father
was the "town drunkard; )" his mother
took in washing, and at twelve years of
age he faced the world in the battle for
bread, the main support of his younger
brothers and sisters. He read and
studied at night, and rose step by step
until he became governor of the great
State of Minnesota turning Republi-
can plurality of 161, 900 into Demo-
cratic majority of 5000. and twice since
then he has been elected Democratic
governor Of Republican State. He
put through many reforms, and his ca
roer was such that he retained the I'M
bounded confidence of his people and
became national figure of heroic pro-
portions.
Without the power of Bryan's oratory,
or any of the red fire with which Bryan
and Roosevelt have kept themselves
before the country, Johnson shone in
the political sky as a star of the first
magnitude Surely such a man was
fit to follow Lincoln, the rail-splitter;
Grant, the wood -hauler; both great
presidents, to say nothing of such men
as Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and Harri-
son-who have gone into the presidency
without being over burdened with ca
pacity to fill it.
Yes, Johnson would have made SUI
perb president. Common sense, hon
esty and sincerity, all of which he pos
sessed in full measure, would have car.
ried him safely through every crisis,
just as they served Lincoln in the try
ing times which he encountered.
To the nation, therefore, to the DEM
ocratic party, and to mankind, which
needs examples of moral and political
grandeur, the death of Governor john
son is dreadful loss. To the Democ-
racy, the loss is almost irreparable. He
represented the hopes of millions, and
those who looked to HIM for leadership,
are stunned by the suddenness of his
death, They will not know which way
to turn to fill the place in national poll
tics which he would have occupied had
he lived.

Elijah Tisdale Hudson moved from
Jefferson county, Ca, in the year 1899,
and landed at Marietta, in February,
with his wife and four children, three
daughters and one son.
The second daughter died the year
he arrived at his new home. His wife
, died the next year, 1910. The maternal
relatives of his children all died in JEFF
ferson county, Ca, during the year
1910, leaving two daughters and one
son, who were the last living represen-
tatives of their mothers family.
One daughter and the son are yet
living. They have not single relative
on their mothers side living. The son
is the writer of this history, and is now
the pioneer of Marietta. His career
has been the most varied, and his ex-
periences would fill large volume.
In 1912, the father bought the land
where Smyrna is now situated he also
bought a saw-mill on Nickajack creek,
three miles from Smyrna.
He took or made contract to furnish
the string timbers for the w. & A. rail-
road from Marietta to Smyrna. The
writer, boy of eight years, drove the
oxen that hauled the stocks to the mill
and afterwards hauled on wagons the
string timbers to the railroad. The
contract WAS completed early in the
year 1843. The father then moved back
to Marietta about July, 1843.
The writer was placed in the employ
of Mr.. Dunn, who was publishing a
Wing paper, advocating the candidacy
OF the great Henry Clay for president.
The opposing candidate was James K,
Polk, of Tennessee The exciting cam
paign ended, and Clay was defeated
The name of the Wing paper was THE
Helicon ;" the Democratic paper was
known as the Cherokee Advocate"
published by man who is remembered
by the old citizens as N. NJ Calder
who had with him as associate editor
Mr.. John Hazard.
After the presidential election, Henry
Clay, the ever-to- be- remembered man,
asserted that he had rather be right
than president. The writer had as his
friend and co-worker in the printing
office another boy, whose name is dear
to all who ever knew him, the lamented
and talented Jas. D. Waddell, who had
and earned, the name OF the "silver-
tongued orator of the mountains"
In 1874, my father moved to Oxford,
Ca, to educate his children; lived
there for seven years, and then re-
turned to Marietta, Ga. The writer had
a serious trouble with his teacher at
Oxford, and was so outraged that he
ran away from school in October, 1847
and his action was sustained by his ia
Their. That act was the cause that made
it impracticable for me to be grad
uate of Emory college. l was sent to
my brother-in-lRw, who was mer-
chant and large planter, ten miles west
of Madison, Ga. [ remained at that
place about seven years. In 1856, |

men from Marietts and surrounding
county, who enlisted for six months
the object being to become citizens OF
the Territory and TO vote to bring the

A special to the Gag tte from Fl Dorado last Sunday says: John Oliver Franklin. a brother in-law of Andrew Dalhoff of Chi cago, who is brother of Henry Dal- hoff Of Little Rock. one of most prominent contractors in the coun- try. and a negro by the name of Ford shot and killed each other at 1:5O o'clock this morning. The tragedy occurred at the home a negress.
 Franklin is alleged to have gone to the home of the ne gress and found Ford thare. He chased the negro away. It is said that Ford returned with a gun.
 Franklin was evidently warned that the negro was coming back armed. and met him just as he reached the house. He is alleged to have fired at Ford just as the negro was coming up the front porch steps. Franklin was stand ing jlst inside the front door.
 Then both men fired, simultan- eously, with fatal effect. Franklin shot Ford through the top of the head, Franklin was shot through the breast

Paper from Cotton Stalks.

At last. so it is reported. the cotton stalk is to have commercial value. A company has, been formed at Atlanta. Ga. for the purpose of making printing paper out of the hitherto worthless weed of the Winters farm. Simultan- eously with this announcement comes the news from the wood pu D fel is, both in Wisconsin and Canada, that, ewing to the long drought, the output of paper has ean reduced one-half of the usual normal supply.
 Illus it is that the cotton stalks, a despised and troublesome adjunct of the Southern plantation after the feeoy staple has been picked from it. may come forward, not on ly. to relieve the publishers of the country. but to add to the treasury of the farmer. If it be true that paper can be made from the stalks, then the rapidly diminishing for ests of the Northwest will be spared ravages from the axman.
 It was not so long ago that the seed from cotton were. wasted be- cause there was no demand for them.
