ONLY A SOLDIER.
The Honorable W. X. Y. Z. Etc. At
kinson, he of the curly locks and pensive
eye, has been making some remarks of
late, and in those few remarks, he spoke
in a kind of David and Jonathan style
about General Evans. It is well to see
brethren dwell together in unity, but it
is painful to see Mr. Atkinson some
times allude to General Evans as only
a soldier. We do not know that he
used these exact words, but they con-
the idea. . The thought] running
through his mind seemed to be about
this:’’General],Evans is a’’good’ man,
but only a good man; ’a good soldier,
but only a good soldier. I Atkinson,
am a politician, as wise as a serpent
and as harmless as a dove. I will draw
all men unto me, even as the brazen
serpent, which was lifted up in the
wilderness. I Atkinson am an exper
ienced legislator, I Atkinson am speaker
of,the house of representatives, I Atkin
son was chairman of the democratic
campaign committee and so got to]be
speaker; I Atkinson am all this, and
if there is anything bigger, I Atkinson
am that.
”1 am no sentimental hero. lam
made of sterner stuff. Let fools stop
bullets if they will, and call their folly
patriotism, but I Atkinson will look out
for thejnain chance- You all remember
the house that Jack built, and who de
stroyed it, but I] Atkinson destoyed the
house that Grady built. I Atkinson]will
rip such sentiment in the bud. These
be practical times. What use have we
for soldiers now when thirty winters
have passed over their whitening heads?
Pi What need have we] their feeble bro
ken bodies? It matters not what they
are, we need young men; I Atkinson
will brush all sentiment aside. It is
true these soldiers have been mighty
men in peace; it is true they have built
all our’railroads, all our public build
ings , our^furnaces, factories, our
churches and our schools; it is true that
on every such enterprise you see the
stamp of the old soldier, winning more
victories in peace than he did in war,
but what is that to me? I Atkinson will
use the ’old soldier racket’ to defeat any
man who served in the war, no matter
how useful in peace. I play upon the
human heart and its prejudices as upon
a harp of a thousand strings.” .
A CONNOISSEUR IN HORSEFLESH.
We extract from our esteemed
Georgia contemporary, the Rome
Tribune, the lollowing notable and
heart-rejoicing notice:
“FRIDAY AND SATURDAY,
Jan. ‘.6 and 27, 1894,
ALL THE HORSKSWAI’PBRS
Os Talladega and adjoining counties will meet,
in Talladega to have a good time and swap stock.
“A brass baud will be on hand both days t -
make music, and there will be a parade each
day headed by the band.
‘•lf you have a horse, mule, or any other kind
of
ANIMAL YOU DON’T WANT.
Bling it to Talladega on the above dates and
Get One That Will Suit You.
“A programme is being arranged and you
will have a good time. Come. “Bob Watson,
“Tom Bubbis ’’
There is more fun in Georgia to
the square inch than anywhere els<'
in the United States; and the fm
of horse swapping is not the least of
funs. In fact, there is something
about horse swapping that pulls t he
fibres of the American heart. Thou
sands of good Americans have lived
for years upon the proceeds of horse
swapping. Thousands more had
rather swap, whether they make or
lose by the trade, than eat or drink.
Under the greenwood tree, in par
ticular, swapping is carried on with
vivacity. Many queer plugs turn
up, and many a man comes to grief.
But the essential thing about swap
ping horses is the swapping, not the
horse. You may get taken in on
the exchange, but you have the
pleasure and adventure of the bar
gain. The horse swapper never
suffers from ennui. Ke never keeps
a horse long enough for that. Va
riety is his motto. A true American
citizen can get more joy out of swap
ping horses than out of almost any
other form of amusement. It is bis
theatre, his opera, his circus. He
talks about swapping when he is
feeding his steed at the village
church sheds between sermons. In
deed, funerals are assauged some
what by thoughts of this great habit.
We salute Bob Watson and Tom
Burris; and all the horses and the
mules and the mule swappers of
Talladega. The instinct of horse
swapping is the foundation of trade
and the linchpin of commerce.—New
York Sun.
LOOKS BETTER.
The Manufacturers Record gives
the following summary of industrial
progress for the first week in Feb
ruary:
•‘A large number of Southern
factories, including a rolling mill
that employs nearly 1000 hands,
and iron pipe works that employ
400 or 500, have started up during
the week, The Newport News ship
yard is engaging 1200 additional
hands to work on contracts lately
secured. Bank clearings show an
improvement compared with other
sections, The sales of fertilizers
are very heavy, and spring jobbing
trade outlook is promising.
The most important event of
Southern interest has been the pur
chase of Richmond Terminal secu
rities by Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
showing that they believe the time
is ripe for reorganizing the Terminal
system. Other important develop
ments of Southern progress during
the week include the letting of a
contract for a $5,000,000 steel rail
road bridge across the Mississippi
river at New Orleans; preparations
for improvements on the Dismal
Swamp Canal of Virginia to cost
$1,000,000, an extensive jetty work
at Mayport, Fla.; a $300,000 subur
ban electric line at Atlanta; a steam
road in Georgia twelve miles long,
and the acquirement of terminals on
Galveston bay for the Gulf <fc Inter
state Railroad ; a 26 mile road to be
built in Texas to develop a tract of
35,000 acres of coal land now being
opened up to furnish coal to the
Southern Pacific Railroad; con
tracts closed for turning a large vol
ume of traffic from 3500 miles of
Western roads to the seaboard over
