THE ATLANTA UEOKlilAJN. ►AY, OCTOBER 2, 11VW. prominent Citizens in Every Walk of Endorse the Candidacy of ~ 11 ROBT. F. MADDOX FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER To the Voters of Fulton County: We earnestly appeal to our fellow voters and tax payers of Fulton County to join with us in electing Hon. Robt. F. Maddox County Commis sioner to succeed Hon. Hubert L. Culberson. The County Board fixes the tax rate for every tax payer, rich and poor, in Fulton County, and pays out the County revenues, which amount yearly to a very large sum, and besides is charged with the duty of building, paving and keeping in repair the public highways, the erection and care of the public buildings, and generally with administering the affairs of this populous and growing county. Every tax payer is interested in keeping down the tax rate and in having an economical business administration of the County’s affairs. We feel that the County is fortunate in having an opportunity to secure the services in this position of a man of Mr. Maddox’s high character, business ability and large experience. He is not tied to any faction and would administer this responsible trust in the interest of the tax payers, large and small, of all sections of the Zounty. He would be the Commissioner for the whole County and for the whole people, and not for any mere section or class. He is worthy, capably, and will prove impartial and efficient in the public service. We urge you to go out and vote for him on October 3d. E. Woodruff. Sam D. Jones. .* I). B. Turner. A. Fugaxxl & Co. C. V. Doolittle Co. h. D. McMillan Seed Co. B. C. DeLeon. J. Lee Barnes. F. M.

From The Philadelphia Record. "Look out for absinthe In bonbons,* says a large candy dealer. "They an on the market and they are loaded I doubt If any are on sale as yet It this city, but they have been offered t< us and I have seen samples of them I have no doubt they will soon be seei here. It's likely that their stay wll be short, however, for the authortttei and the temperance people will surtl} be after them. Four of the kind o: bonbons that were sent to us woulc make a pretty stiff drink of absinthe And an innocent customer might ge laid out cold before he knew it. Tho* sent to us were from Europe, where I understand, their manufacture ha resulted from certain reatrlctlve leg Islatlon concerning the sale of ale* hoi."
