Favors Hon. Tom Watson For
F U. S. Senate. Delegates
Elected to S. S. Con-.
vention.

The people who count are those
who do things. No house wreckel
who leveled aged structures and
carted away their refuse, ever
sheltered thereby a human being
from the storm. The leaders of men
do things. They are positive, and
no great work ever started from
negation. They draw men after
them, excite their admiration, win
their love, arouse them to actor,
imbue them with enthusiasm, with
belief. The names of men of action
are inscribed on the tablets of his
tory.
Be aggressive. Be strong, make
yourself known and felt as pow
er; and power is only known, as
such, when in action. Nothing
makes for mans success like a
good, hearty strive to win.
Friction, nothing else, polishes
brings out the "high lights" of the
stone, the metal and the man.
What to fight about? Is there a
corner in the world, where there
are no wrongs to be righted, no
needs to be fulfilled, no better
work to be done?-Foreword in
Clinical Medicine.
Capt. Tom. S. Getzen, a son of
the Rev. Sammie Getzen, of sacred
memory, who has lived since the
war in Florida was here one day
last week on a visit to his cousin,
John G. Morgan and Mrs. Mollie
Cartledge. He told his friends many
war "reminiscences, and said most of
his old comrades are dead, but he
would be delighted to see Henry
and Elbert Dobey, Sam Horne and
Will Powell, who are living. Capt.
Getzen has got rich in Florida,
though permanently MANNED, hav-
ing lost leg at Bentonsville, N. c..
He left here to visit his daughter,
Mrs. DR.. Adams, of Plum Branch.
A crowd left here in an automo-
bile one day last week for Thomp,
son, Ca, to hear the inimitable and
indefatigable Tom Watson. The
crowd consisted of Messrs. w. p.
and w. r. and and J. G. Parks, 9.
and Luther Stone, r. N. Edmunds.
S. Ridlehoover, Warren Stone and
others from Mccormick. They re-
port great meeting. Although
Tom Watson is erratlc and cranky
on missions, he is not afraid of the
world, the flesh and the devil, and /
would be glad to, see him elected to
the United States senate from Geor.
gia. He is not afraid to expose the
rascals, who most of all dread pub
licity and for this reason, / would
like to see him go to the senate. The
only cure for political corruption,
in my opinion, is, publicity, and
this Tom Watson does with mas,
ter hand, though sometimes in dis
credit. Georgia could do worse
than send Tom Watson to the
United States senate.
Mrs. Mary Burton of Gilgal,
who was Miss Mary Street before
her marriage to Maj. Geo. Burton

companied by one of her sons, and
we were indeed glad to meet them.

week, going over to see friends in
Columbia. They travelled in Mr..

part of last week with Mr.. Hamp
Parks and wife of Plum Branch.

Our old friend Mr.. jim Talbert
of Rehoboth visited Parksville, one
day day last week and we ran upon
him watching pair of soft brown
eyes," Jim is one of natures noble
men, and it's always a pleasure to
shake his generous hand.

looking better than we had ever
seen him. His brother, Butler and
