The county officers are all clev
er gentlemen, but at the same
time they hold public positions,
they handle the people’s money
under the terms of law and the
public are entitled to know just
how much of the people’s money
goes through these sources.—Au

The Athens Banner of yester
day contained an editorial that
was “hot stuff.” It was directed
to the editor of the Dalton Argus
in reply to the allegation made by
him that the Banner had been
sold to Judge Spencer R. Atkin
son. Editor Reed was on his
mettle and he called “a spade a
spade.” Uncle Sams ultimatum
to Spain was mild reading com
pared to this article.—Madison

It is not pleasant to admit that
this from the Worcester (Mass.)
Telegram is true, but who can
deny that it isn’t: “Every Amer
ican in Cuba was under the pro
tection of the English consuls the
instant General Lee left. If any
American under the protection of
the English flag is hurt all the
the world knows that Cuba will
instantly tremble under the roar
of English guns. If any Ameri
can is hurt while under the pro
tection of his own flag nobody
knows what will happen.

There are 42,000 people in Au
gusta. It is estimated that this
population, pays out in taxes each
year #390,456.79 for city govern
ment, some •'192,000 for county
government and about $100,000
for the support of the state gov
ernment. In other words the an
nual direct tax on Augusta is
about #583,456 for the privilege
of being governed. In round fig
ures, 12 per cent per capita per
annum.—Augusta Herald.

If we mistake not John W.
Maddox of the seventh congres
sional district, dropped his candy
when he made his anti-Cuban
speech in congress the other day.
With that speech as a club it will
require no great skill for Watt
Harris to knock the stuffiing out
of John’s political corporosity.
John will find that it is easier
to shoot off his mouth in congress
than it will be to maintain his
words on the stump.—Atlanta
Commercial.
OUR SUPPLEMENT.
We ask every subscriber of The
Citizen to carefully read the sup
plement of this issue.
It contains facts and every cit
izen ought to want to know the
fucts when he comes to discharge
the responsible duty of voting.
Judge Atkinson respectfully re
quested Col. Candler to meet him
in joint debate “in the open” be
fore the people. He declined and
we do not blame him. Why ? Be
cause he prefers to bushwhack and
put his trust in the ability of the
ringsters to coral the vote of the
people for him, than to face and
fail to answer the indictment.
