On the 27th ult., about
dclock a. ni., the death ang<
knocked at the home of Mr. an
Mrs. Whiten, of Norris, an
claimed for its victim the fathe

Capt. Whiten's health begai
to fall him last October, an<
while he had been graduall:
going down he kept in goo(
spirit, and no one had the leas
idea of the end being so nei
.intil Sunday before he died 61
Monday morning. It was ;
-shock to his many friends t
hear of his death.
Oct. 18, 1870, Capt. White]
was happily married to Mis
Martha Terrell, both of whon
at that time li :ed in Havershan
county, Georgia.
He worked there for son
time as a hand on the Souther
Railroad for Capt. Wim. Eades
who at that time was section bos
on the'road there.
After Capt. Eades' romova
Capt. Whiten was tendered th
section boss place here in Pick
ens county., when he and hi
family moved to this county
.and for 27 years he discharge(
his duties in that capacity wit]
entire satisfaction to both em
ployel and employees.
In Odtober, 1905, when No. 1

At the time of his death Capt

age.
He joined the Cherokee Bap
tist church in Georgia whei
quite young, and has ever beei
an honest man.
The writer has been with Capt
Whiten more or less for nearl
four years, and he can truth
fully say he never heard him us
a profane word, or speak evil n
any one. He always tried t> d
unto others as he would hav
them do unto him. HeI wa

Dear companion, children and
:1 friends, weep not as those wh(
:1 have no hope. God in His all
r wise providence saw fit to tak(
him to his reward. He has paid
the last debt. He has crossed
i the River of Death in peace,
He is at rest. Let us strive tc
i meet him. Let your desire and
j song be this:
Father, thou wast mild and
lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
1 Pleasant as the air of evening
) When it floats among the
trees.
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Peaceful by thy silent slum
ber,
There' no more to join oui
number,
Thou no more our songs shall
know.
s Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life Is fled;
There in heaven with joy tc
greet thee,
- Where no farewell tears arc
shed. B.
I Why Watterson Supports Bryan.
We again quote Henry Wat.
- terson in the Courier-Journal.
He is earnestly and largely sup
porting Bryan, whom he ha
a for long years opposed, and her<
is the frank explanation for th<
change:
a "With respect to Mr. Bryai
1 the case is so simple that he wh<
runs may read. Nor does li

candidacy of Mr. Bryan, w(

agreeable to us. Such differ
ences as exist relate the rathei

D Henry Watterson has noi
ie leaned toward Taft; he has noi
s been lured by the jingle of [hi
.dollars; he has not preachei
, that the real question is "busi
ness." He recognized, as ever)
