I am in favor of the free and un

lam in favor of the most rigid
economy and the lowest possible
rate of taxation compatible with
the honor, dgnity and credit of
the state and obligations she has
as-umed to her schools and pen
sioners, If you agree with in this
there is nothing for us to discuss.
If you are opposed to it, I will
meet you ana discuss the impor
tance at all times, and especially
at this time, of economy and low
tux.
I am in favor of meeting out
equal and exact justice in the
courts and m’the legislature to all

corporation and individual with
out discrimination against either.
If you agree with me in this there
is nothing for us to discuss. If
you are opposed to it, I will meet
you and discuss it.
I am in favor of clean methods

I am opposed to what is known

II you agree with me as I pres
ume you do, on all the foregoing
propositions, there are no princi

state are interested for us to discus
and a “series of joint debates

necessarily be a series of personal
controversies and would at once
degenerate into a series of mud

ROME GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING. MARCH 21. 1898.
IN THE RftGK
Hon. W. H. Ennis Formally
Announces
FOR TLE SENATE-
One of the Most Deservedly
Popular Men. in the State.
•
Tn another column will be
found the formal Announce
ment of lion. W. 11. Ennis, who
’s making a winning race for
State Senate.
It is Floyd county’s turn to
furnish the senator for the 42nd
senatorial district this year, and
for several weeks it has been
known that Mr. Ennis’ friends
would urge him for the place.
Few young men in Georgia
have ever won, in the same
length of time, such popularity
as Bill Ennis enjoys. He num
bers his friends in Rome and
Floyd county by the hundreds,
while in the state he knows and
enjoys the confidence of more
of the State’s leading men than
perhaps any other man of his
years.
Bill Ennis has been often
tried by the people of this coun
ty, and has never been found
wanting. He is always on the
side of the people and can be
trusted freely and fully to pro
tect the interests of his constit
uents.
Bill Ennis, loyal, true, fear
less, conservative and able —
Here’s to you, the next senator
of the 42nd.
result in schisms and the building
up of factions in our party damag
ing to it and the bsst interests of
the people. Personal rivalry and
personal ambition should never
be allowed to control our action
when great principles and the
interests of the state and the
people are at stake.
These are ‘my views honestly
entertained and frankly expressed.
In them I believe I am right, and
“I would rather be right than to
be governor. We should all rem
ember that so soon as the demo
crats decide which one of us is to
lead the fight against the common
enemy, all other democrats must
rally to his support. Hence we
should avoid everything ealcu'a
ted to engender bitterness, as such
debates always do. among our
selves and reserve our strength for
the final contest with the enemy
of democracy.
However. I maybe wrong and
you may be right. I see that my
other opponent, the Hon. R. L.
Berner, disagrees with me and
agrees with you upon this question
I see from the public prints that
he has already accepted y< nr
challenge for a “a series of joint
debates throughout the state,” and
I also notice that both of you have
accepted the invitation from ’the
democratic executive committee of
Muscogee county to engage in a
joint discussion at Columbus at
such time as yen and he may agree
upon. But entertaining my pres
ent views I prefer to await the
results upon the party which will
necessarily be manifested from
“the series of joint debates
throughout the state” which you
and he have already agreed to
engage in and if'a ter on in the
campaign after part of the “series
of joint debates” between vou and
the Hon, R. L. Berner have been
made I should be convinced that
you ai.d he are right, and I am
wrong an<l it should not interfere
too much with your official duties
I will with pleasure take up the
question of arranging some joint
debates between us. Very truely.

NOT AN INCH

Firm Stand
PREPARED FOR A|ff FOE
Said Assistant Navy Secretary
Roosevelt-
I New York, March 21.—Assis
tant Secretary of the Navy The
odore Roosevelt, in an interview
in the Journal today, says : “It
is cheering to had newspapers
that are telling the facts, as ‘hey
exist and are ignoring the sug
gestions of various kinds that
emanate some sources that can
not be described as patriotic or
loyal to the flag of this country.
“The statement that there is
any backing down or any effort
to sidetrack whatever may be
pertinent to the situation ; that
there is in the prospect any ele
ment of uncertainty, should be
repelled vigorously.
“The Administration is
making every preparation possi
ble, and as the great task is
nearing completion it can be
safely said that within a few
hours everything will be in
readiness to meet any foe which
may be encountered.
“In my opinion the proper
policy to pursue is to ask no fa
vors, and to grant none. Not
one inch will be conceded from
the firm stand heretofore mani
fested.”
Jervis & Wrigbc, the uptown
druggist, have no old stale stuff to
offer you, but their stock is clean
and fresh and they will do ‘as
much for your in their way of
service, prices, etc., as any one.
Bear thi a in mmd and you will be
glad of it. They allow no one to
undersell them.
A MEDICAL STUDENT.
Had Hidden a Female Cada
ver in His Father’s Barn.
Shelbyville, Ind,, March 21.
A wave of excitement swept this
country yesterday, when it be
came known that Alonzo Mur
phy, on going to his barn, had
found the arms of a woman tied
up in a coffee sack and hid away
among his implements, a discov
ery that led up to the finding of
tin remainder of the body near
by. A n immense crowd quickly
assembled, and speculation wa«
rife as to the identity of the
corpse, which was that of a
handsome, light complexioned
female of about 2G vears.
•z
The supposed sensation, how
ever, completely collapsed, when
when asm of Murphy confessed
that he had secured the body
f<>r dissection and had hidden it
in the barn. The young man is
a medical student.
The coroner thereupon drop
ped the case.
On the morning of Feb. 20,
1895, 1 was sick with rheuma
tism, and I lay in bed until May
21st, when I got a bottle ol
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. The
first application of it relieved me
almost entirely frem the pain
and the second afforded com
plete relief. In a short time I
was able to be up about
again.—A. T. Moreaux, Luv

fl Sfl.D CASE.
Mr. John Hull Stricken Willi
Epilepsy
WHILE AT CHURCH.
Was Removed And Taken to
Emergency Hospital.
During services at the First
Baptist church yesterday morn
ing, Mr. John Hull fell in an
epileptic fit, presumably caused
by the heated condition of the
room.
Mr. Hull was immediately
carried to the Emergency hospit
al, but came near expiring be
fore reaching there.
A letter was found in Mr.
Hull’s pocket stating that he
was subject to these attacks,
and, if found dead, requesting
that his body be given a decent
burial as he was a Christian and
a Baptist, and without means.
Mr. Hull states that his home
was in Pennsylvania and that
s-veral years ago, while working
on a bridge, he fell and fractur
l his skull. This is supposed to
|bo the cause of his trouble. He
I ites that he is unable to travel
on the cars as the jar would like
ly kill him, and is making his
way on foot to his old home in
Pennsylvania.
After the services last night
at the First Baptist church a
collection was taken by Dr.
Headden for the unfortunate
man, who «s reported much bet
ter this morning.
