“Silver and gold have I none, but
such as I have give I unto tbee.”
Os course you are for gold or silver.
Or you are for “bimetallism by. inde
pendent action” or for ‘‘bimetallism
by international agreement.” There
are many ways of expressing yourself
as to the side you are on, graded ac
cording to the intensity of your feel
ing on the financial question.
But which ever side you are on you
have doubtless found some humorous
situations. The New York Sun prints
a column which it calls “Comedy of
the canvass.” Some ot the things they
print under that head don’t seem to be
so awfully comical that one has to hold
his sides, but taken as a whole it’s a
good idea. To be perfectly candid I
believe I could tell you some things
about the canvass in Rome that are
much funnier and more interesting,
but the truth of the matter is I’m j z ust
writing this so I can clip from the Sun,
paste it on just below, mark a dash
rule and hurry on to some more im
portant species of work than this
column.
So if you don’t like these extracts
from the Sun, forgive and forget. I
don’t ask you to endorse any of it.
It’s put here simply to read and pon
der over. Here are the extracts:
“The newspapers missed the best
point in one of the speeches Tom
Reed made the other day,” said Lee
Fairchild, wandering up to the amen
pews at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
night. “He’d been talking just about
half an hour and he had his audience
by the ears. He was eloquent. Occa
sionally he’d get pathetic. Os course,
the hall was jammed so full that it
was hardly possible to breathe. Well,
he was approaching a climax in the
speech, and everything was so quiet
you could hear a pin drop. People
were just leaning forward to catch
every word. He had almost finished
his sentence when a man who bad a
place at the low rail in the gallery
lost his balance and came sprawling
down to the main floor. So interested
was the audience that not a man or
woman in it noticed the interruption.
At least, not a man or woman stirred.
Reed went on and finished his sen
tence, and the whole audience joined
in cheering. He just stood and looked
and waited for silence; then he laid,
as half a dozen men lifted up the man
who had fallen:
“ ‘Fellow citizens, that’s what I call
a genuine knock-dowu argument.’
“Well, sir, it was five minutes be
fore he could say another word. ”
“I wish I was as quid-witted as
Reed,” went on Fairchild, after a bit;
and he looked really sad and down
hearted. “I’ve just come back from a
trip in northern New York, and they
didn’t do a thing to me up there. One
of my stock arguments this year has
been that a silver certificate was as
good as gold, because there was 45
cents’ worth of gold promise behind
it. Well, I used a ten-dollar silver
certificate in this argument. Holding
it up, I say that it is worth $lO in gold,
and that if I am not able to convince
every man in the crowd before I get
through that it is worth that, and
worth that because there is $4.50 in
gold promise behind it. I’ll give the
certificate to the unbeliever. Isay ‘if
you can’t- see it turn yellow while I
explain it then you can have it.’ Well
it's a good bluff, you know, and 1 al
ways got away with it till I struck a
little town up in Clinton county the
other night. Most enthusiastic audi
ence I ever saw. They cheered me till
I couldn’t think. Then when I had
got through an old fellow with a pie
face and a pelican nose came up and
said:
“ ‘Say, mister, you’re a pretty good
yawper, but you couldn’t convince
me. Gimme that ten. I’m agin silver
u ider any conditions, ’u I’m agoin’t’
vote fur McKinley. ’

have, from the time of their

success with the public. And
that means that Ayer’s Pills
accomplish what is promised
for them; they cure where
others fail. It was fitting,
therefore, that the world-wide
popularity of these pills should
be recognized by the World’s

which emphasizes the record:

PUBLIC 8 HOOL PATRONS
Are Requested to Read and Heed This Card
ot Superintenden: Harr s.
Rome, Ga., October 13th, 1896.
To the Patrons of the Rome Public
Schools:
Great injury comes to your children
from their loitering to and from
schools in the mornings. No pupils,
except the graduating class are per
mitted to enter the school buil Sings
before fifteen minutes before nine
o’clock, and those pupils who are per
mitted to leave their homes too early
are exposed to the dangers of bad as
sociates whose conduct cannot be
reachea or remedied by the schoo
discipline. Not only so, but often’in
unfavorable weather, girls and boys
standing on the streets in the cold and
damp waiting for the school doors to
open sustain serious injury to health.
Parents are warned that, no matter
how severe the weather, our rules for
bid the pupils entering their grades
before the teacher, and they are
urged not to allow tbeir children to
leave home before such time will
enable them by steady walking to
reach the schools at 9 o’clock.
I beg all parents to give prompt
and full attention to this matter. The
health and morals of your children
will be promoted if they are trained
to leave and return home atceitain
hours fixed to prevent delays on the
streets which expose them at once to
bad weather and worse associates.
Respectfully,
J. C. Harris.

IT IS INTERESTING
Several Announced Candidates For the
Supreme Court
JUDGE BRANHAM IN THE FRONT RANKS
And He ia Everywhere Poinu d Oat a Win •
n r-tonie of the O hers Who are
Candidates.
The race for the supreme court
grows more interesting as the days
pass.
Judge Branham, as has been told in
the Tribune, is in the front rank and
it seems a certainty that he will go in.
The following from the Atlanta
Journal will be read with interest:
Up to date the following are an
nounced candidates for the four vacan
cies on the supreme court be. ch;
Hon. Samuel Lumpkin.
Hon. W. A. Little.
Hon. Joel Branham.
Hon. George F. Gober.
Hon. William D. Kiddoo.
Hon. John H. Martin.
A New Entry.
The last named, Hon. J. H. Martin,
of Pulaski, has been requested by the
bar of his circuit and many friends
throughout the state to make the race
and has consented.
Judges Gvber and K’ddoo in the Rac“.
When the Journal wired Judge Kid
doo Friday asking if he would be a
candidate for one of the vacanci l e,
he was absent on his circuit. Today
the following was received from him .
CITHBERT, Ga,, Oct. 10.
Atlanta Journal:
I will be a candidate for nomination,
by the democratic party, for associate
justice of the supreme court.
Wm. D. Kiddoo.
The bar of Cobb county met in mass
meeting Saturday ond passed commend
atory resolutions of Judge George F.
Gober, and requested that he make the
race for one of the vacancies.
At the conclusion of the meeting Judge
Gober was asked if he would make the
race.
He replied : “Yes, I will be a candi
date.”
Those C ndidates Probable.
The bar of Greene county edorsed the
Hon. Hal T. Lewis of Greensboro for one
of the vacancies and earnestly requested
him to make the race, but as yet Mr.
Lewis has given no inkling of his inten
tions in the matter.
Hon. W. C. Glenn, of Atlanta, is also
constantly mentioned and urged by law
yers from many parts of the state to en
ter the race for one of the vacancies but
he declines to discuss the matter. Judge
Marshall J. Clark and Judge W. M. Ham
mond are also mentioned as probable en
tries from this county, but have given no
decision in the matter.
As the candidates develop it is evi
dent that the election will arouse un
usual interest among the people. The
fact, that the people are to do the vot
ing causes them to scrutinize closely
the candidates and their methods of
nomination.
Ona Pan for a Pr mary.
Until the state committee meets ths
exact methods of selecting the candi
dates will not. of course, be deter
mined, but it is very generally ac
cepted that a primary will be called
for in order that the freest and fullest
expression Os public sentiment can be
best obtained.
Just how the primary is to be govern
ed is a matter of much speculation. There
are some who claim that as the election
is to be governed by the people that a
white democratic primary should be
called for the same day throughout the
state. That the names of all the candi
dates be printed on the ticket, and the
voter to scratch all but the four men for
whom he desires to vote. That the state
committee consolidate the returns and
that the four highest in the total vote be
declared the nominees of tl e party. This
would do away with the di legition feat
ure and there would be no r.q cssity for a
state convention.
In opposition to this plan is the state
ment that, the populists could go into the
primary and materially affect the result
ai.d that besides violating the prcc< dents
ot the party it would give to the larger
counties like Fulton, Chatham,Richmond
and others more advai tage and promi
nence than they ,are entitled to under the
system of state representation.
inother Plan for n Primary.
The other plan adduced for a primary
is that put in vogue on the 6th of Jui.e
last. That delegations announce them
selves for-the various candidates and be
voted for on the same day. Then to meet
in a state convention* with the instruc
tions thus given and nominate the foui
candidates.
In oppsition to this plan it is urged
that the convention might be small and
be not considered representative by the
people, and that if such were the case
especially if any number of counties sen
uninstructod de'egations, there might be
manipulation or the charge of it.
