Were here in force th «“. the
back mouutama of Gilmer county—
from Cherry Log district, and Car¬
tecay, and Mountaiutown, and
Coosawattee. and Tickanetley, and
other districts that know as little of
the outside world as the world knows
of them.
They were engaged iu their most
engrossing game of politics They
were playing it as earnestly as they
always do—as though it meant meat
and bread and shelter to each of
them, instead of a judgeship for
some man of their acquaintance.
They were pitted one against the
other, and their fighting qualities
were aroused. The contest had be¬
come a matter of absorbing person¬
al interest to all of them. They
take their politics seriously—almost
as seriously as the more pious among
them take their religion—do these
north Georgia mountaineers, whose
community topics are few.
Three or four hundred of them
were here. When they were herd¬
ed together in the capitol, it looked
as though the voting strength of the
county had moved down to the city
en masse. It seemed as if a ballot
box might have neen placed some
where in the corridor and the whole
disputed primary tried over again.
They wqre quartered like pretentious soldiers,
at a ooifpie of the less'.
hotels of tdo city. They ate bana
nas andhbther city delicacies when
they felt hungry. Doubtless they
astonished the women folks with
their appetites when they got back
home and found her substantial
meals awaiting them on the table.
No foreign type showed among
them. They were old-fashioned
Americans, born and bred in pure
Anglo-Saxon strain for generations.
SAW MANY STRANGE SIGHTS.
- Some of them had never seen a
railroad before they started on the j
trip to Atlanta—this, on the word
of one among.them, one who knows
tliem and loves their kind. Many
had never ridden on a train before
Few had ever seen their state’s
itol before. Gas and electricity and
steam engines and automobiles and
telephoncs. and the other
places of modern life, were strauge
uud new to the majority of
yet they showed little interest,
surprise, no wonder. Because
was bred in them, they were
and reserved. They took ail things
outwardly at least, as a matter
course. ^
As the Mongolians of the north

these mountaineers are the fighting

They arc the reserves—fearless,

horns over the intricacies of politi¬
cal combat, was thrilling to them.
True, they were a little confused by
the state committee’s strange ten¬
dency to interpret some new differ¬
ence between Republicans and Dem
oerats—terms which do not neees -
sarily stand for atjrtract principles,
to their way of thinking but rather
for candidates and personalities;
but they put it down to ignorance
of the real state of affairs. And
probably they were right.
