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. ’ JERVIS&WRIGUT DRUGGISTS Corner Broad Street and Fifth Avenue, ROME, GA Drugs and Druggists’ Sundries.

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 Fair medal of 1893—a fact which emphasizes the record: 50 Years of Cures. “Now, what d’ye think of it? I’d been pumping a republican speech into him for an hour, too. I gave him the ten, and I’ve been using dollar certificates since to cut down the ex pense bill.” “I had an idea,” said the political reporter, “that all the changes had been rung on the hand and foot game, but Tim Campbell got off a new one on Saturday night. Tim was speaking down in the old ‘Ate, 1 and toward the close he got flowery. “ ’Fellow citizens,’ be said, ‘ye’s have had har-rd toimes, God knows, but vote for McKinley ’n Tim Camp bell an 1 ilict thim, an’, mar-rk me wor r-ds, th’ pararies ’ll blossom loike th’ rose, an’ th’ face of th’ whole country ’ll become loike th’ vargin forrest.’ “A fellow down in the crowd says. ‘G’wan, Tim, I know ye’s ’.n what’n th’ ’ell d’ ye’s know about vargin for rtsts.

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.

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.
