There are many men ready to cast a stone In Auguata. They are gener ally those who live in the moat glassy of all glass houses. But when a rnts cle 1* thrown at them they scream — great grief how they scream. The handsomest thing In the sol dier line down around Augusta now are the Richmond Academy Cadets. Division and corps headquarters are o. k., but they don't cut any figure alongside those manly looking buys of pfoud Augusta fathers and mothers. The man most apt at raillery is the man who can least suffer raillery di rected at hltn.

Contending Democratic factions find themselves working for the negro vote and the faction with the longest purse gets that vote. When one faction can raise us much purchase money as the other the negro vote Is split und then the wishes of the white man are as serted. We find this condition In one of the wards or our city now. Demo crats have differed as to a counellmuu lc candidate. One aide can raise as much money as the other. The result will be a split in the negro vote—both sides being in tin market to purchase and the will of the white man will he asserted. At least let It he so hoped. So it was in the last mayoralty *lei Uon. The succesxful candidate secured the majority of the white vote and be ciiin* the mayor, in obedience to the will of the white people.
