Mr. Paul L. Cogburn Endorsed
by Executive Committee.
In response to the call of the .J
county- chairman, ? mpptirar-af the 1_
County Democratic "Executive ' com-'1
mittee was held Monday and eleven i
of the sixteen clubs in the county ?
were represented. The following res- 1
olution was introduced by Capt. J.
R. Blocker: i
Resolved by the County Democrat- ]
ic Executive Committee in meeting
assembled that while we recognize ]
that it is within the jurisdiction of ]
this committee to order an election to .
fill the vacancy in the clerk of court's (
office caused by the death of the la
mented Mr. W. B. Cogburn, but .
owing to the fact that he had served j
only six honths of his term of four ;
years for which he had been elected
without opposition in the primary last
August, we deem the special election
inexpedient and inadvisable at this
time, and inasmuch as the regular
primacy will be held next summer J
when there can be afforded a better
opportunity for the voters to pass 1
upon the qualifications of the various ]
candidates for this and other offices, ?
we recommend to Governor Cooper
and our legislative delegation that '
appointment of the present deputy !
clerk, Paul L. Cogburn, as clerk of
the court, his commission to hold un- ?
til the next general election, when
his regularly electer successor chos- ;
en in the primary next year shall ,
qualify and assume charge of this
office.
Immediately after the resolution ,
of Capt. Blocker was introduced, Mr.
B. R. Tillman moved that the name ?
of Mrs. W. B. Cogburn be substitu
ted in lieu of that of Mr. Paul L.
Cogburn, as Mr. Cogburn had ex
pressed the wish that, should he die
in office, Mrs. Cogburn be permitted
to fill the unexpired portion of his
term. After some discussion pro and
con, the vote upon the amendment of
Mr. Tillman was five for and six
against, being lost by one vote. The
amendment having failed of passage,
the resolution as originally presented
was adopted unanimously.
Dorsey-Britt.
The friends of Mr. Charles W. Dor
sey and Miss Adelia Britt will be in
terested to learn of their marriage

ture hat of white georgette. Mrs.
Dorsey is the daughter of Mrs. W.
J. Britt and is a lovely and attrac
tive girl. Mr. Dorsey is from Dayton,
Ohio, but has made many friends
since coming to Augusta that will be
glad to know he is to live here.-Au

in giving the English language to
foreigners who come to our shores.
This organization has kept in touch
with Ellis Island and has distributed
to all foreigners who land a greeting,
in the various tongues and a warn
ing against the evils v hich may greet
them when landing.

Buffaloes and Bears in Yel
lowstone Park.
Dear Advertiser:
The animals of the Park are to me
among the most interest features. To
see elk, "bear or buffalo caged is quite
a different matter from seeing them
roaming " wild and unafraid in their
own i native haunts, unafraid of a|
gun because they have never heard
one,,and unaccustomed to.attacking
man/because they have no need, and
because they are scarcely conscious
of tyeir native strength and power.
Once in this same west any uses
or signs, of modem civilization were
curiosities, when the Indians in tribes
and buffalo in herds roamed plains
in thousands. Now the reverse is the
case,] and an Indian tomahawk is a
curLxity, arousing admiration where
dncejit aroused fear in the hearts of
the |orty-Niners. Now the National
Parkiprides itself on the herd of six
hunched buffalo which it keeps on a
Iwra ranch. Fifteen of them are
ke$ttnear the Mammoth Hotel in
whktjis known as a corral, a fenced
p'ffv^ffiture, fo~ the enjoyment of the
fcmfu&hds of tourists who travel
throujh the Park each season. Last
yearvjhere were thirty-five thousand.
i^?S buffalo is an ill formed crea
ture, beautiful in the way that some
pepi? consider a storm* beautiful,
s0n^ sort of grandness that borders
?tf'ttt terrible. To say that the buf
falo ;p mostly head, would convey
the idia that he has sense, but my im
? is that his characteristics
are ajbmbination of unused strength,
tendiig toward laziness, and slow
stupidty. I sat in the hot sun this
[riornjtg unmindful of sunburn, for
ibnoj an hour, fascinated, watching
-bese-inimals which were too lazy to
?ven stand. Like a person suffering
frpm^nu^^the^paid - no. atten
iheffence and wer? rather^B?raPat
.heidea of being admired. From a
iisance they looked like large, brown
>oiders lying in the grass, so bulky
in< immovable were they.
'he ranchman who takes care of
;hen seemed to have a rough, though
;inere affection for them, telling of
;h<r various merits in a sort of fath
er! way, and remarking every now
in! then, what very fine looking buf
'ajes he though they were. To him
;hy were like another division of
;h human race, fully as interesting
isthe people to whom he showed
;hm. "
Vhen a sufficient number of peo
J1< had gathered at the edge of the
:orall, the keeper would open the
jae and ride in on his tall mountain
??se, to stir the buffaloes up and
nke them stand, so that they could
) more easily seen. They arose with
? alacrity that a small boy shows;
nen the school bell rings in th?:
rly morning and enticing visions
fishing ponds and swimming holes
ise before his eyes. The effort to
ind up immediately was too much,,
e expense of energy all at once en
ely too great, so they each took a
mble, raising clouds of dust, and.
ally when the urgency of the com
md had at last penetrated their
ads, they arose and stood in mass
formation, shaggy heads all in a
w, as though they had taken mili
:y tactics from some brave officers.
Fort Yellowstone. They seemed to
actually posing for pictures, so
ll did they stand, and many kodaks
re busy getting pictures of the
mstrous, sleepy creatures. Almost
soon as the keeper had ridden out
d closed the gate, they were set
igdown again with the solid com
.t of the hot sand and grass.
The keeper remarked on how hap
he would be to have nothing to do
2 the buffaloes, and my companion
narked that a human being with
;hing to do would become stupid
1 useless unless he had something
keep him mentally fit. A buffalo
i be only a buffalo, but I think a
.son can be a little higher than the
reis, if he chooses to live instead

Card From Mr. Wright.
I wish to say to the readers of the
dear old Advertiser that I have re
turned from the land of the roses.
I had several articles nearly ready
for the press of my trip to Florida.
Two of them were a continuation of
the Silver Springs, and the Silver
river, also one about the ancient, his
toric city of St. Augustine. But after
being crushed in ' an automobile
wreck in Jacksonville I lost them
some way, in fact I came very near
losing my life. I was on my way home
but had to remain there ten days.
But now I'm back in God's country
and am fast improving from the
shock. When I get able, I will repro
duce the articles named and will send
them in for publication. I had a
jrand time for five months, until I
was partly killed at Jacksonville.

Resolutions on the Death of
Mrs. W. S. Adams.
Whereas, it has pleased our Heav
enly Father to take unto Himself our
jeloved friend and co-laborer, Mrs.
?V. S. Adams and has transplanted
ier beautiful life to another realm
?f service, we resolve
1. That we bow in submission to
jod's will, knowing that He doeth all
hings well; but we realize that earth
s poorer and heaven is richer for her
;oing. Her place in church and
Christian activities cannot be filled.
2. That we cherish the memory
f. her Christ-like life, striving i\s she
lid to make .this world a purer, hap
>ier .dwellin?_nlace.
3. That we -extend our . J^uest, t
ympathy to the bereaved huisband |T
o
t'
a
ii
(nd relatives, and we recommend
hem to her Saviour's tender care and
omfort.
4. That a copy of these resr-'u
ions be sent her family, and that
hey be recorded in the minutes of
ur Woman's Missionary Society.
