Georgia mountaineers 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 a |- e fighting blood of China, so these mountaineers are the fighting blood of the American nation, They arc the reserves—fearless, straight-shooting, unconsciously fatrt{ists . They war quietly among themselveg _ Yet they mild j aud quite harmless, and are kind I hearted. There are no “Gyp the i Blood ’ types among them; but New York’s worst gun would show the yellow streak before these moun taineers would feel a tremor of To them the contest before the statc cxecutivo committee was an “speakin.” The. talk of J votes and candidates was music to ; their ears. The sight of big law yers, “colonels by right of „ profes- „ . they . all „ believe, . locking SlOU US 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.
