tective in disguise, nnd placed the men

the car and escaped, but one was held and

even gone into the counterfeiting business.

recently in the neighborhood, and the peo
ple were unable to account for the man
ner of their taking off. At the time re
ferred to above the wolf ventured up near
the coal chute and attacked Shaw's dog.
Shaw went to the relief of the dog and
ehot the wolf with a pistol. Tile first
shot was not fatal, but caused the wolf
tb attack Shaw, who shot two more balls
into its vitals and killed it. An examina
tion disclosed the fact that It was a large
gray wolf, the size of a large mastiff dog,
and a dangerous looking animal.

as her knees. She was terrified and ran
screaming from the room bailing, on her
father to help. Two brothers and the fa
ther ran to her rescue and among them
the blazing garment was torn off. For
tunately Miss Middlebrooks received only
slight burns about the limbs and face,
none of which will leave any sears. Her
father was. however, badly burned in his
effort to put out the flames.

of hands. About thirty operatives arriv
ed at Fishing Creek one day last week.

GEORGIA'S CAMPAIGN.
Comments of State Papers on tile
Candler Sensation.
Atlanta Constitution: We find It charg
ed that Allen Candler's protest against
wire-pulling and political trickery is an
attack on the present administration. It
is a false eonstruciion, and so made for a
purpose. Tlie Constitution would advise
those who are placing themselves behind
such an absurd charge to go slow; to ex
amine the ground on which they are pre
paring to Etand; to consider whether such
a charge is not calculated to trip their
feet. We look in vain in Ihe Candler let
ter for any attack on. or any criticism on.
Gov. Atkinson's administration. Those
who find it there have had abundant op
portunity to exhibit it to the public, and
they have not done so. There seems. In
deed, to be an undue sensitiveness among
certain very worthy people. It is a very
against political
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 189a
ing the Atkinson administration. It Is cer
tainly not in the nature of a criticism on
that administration to demand that the
people shall have an opportunity to ex
press their choice in primaries to be held
on the same day, and friends of the Gov
ernor should not make the mistake of
putting him In such an indefensible posi
tion at to claim that it is.
Newnan Herald and Advertiser: We re.
grot exceedingly that Mr. Candler should
have written the letter, and this regret
will be shared by his friends everywhere.
There was no necessity for It. He had no
opposition, and the chances are that he
would not have been opposed. Under
these circumstances his effort to arouse
the passions and prejudices which have
been slumbering since the Atklnson-Evans
cam[>aign must be regarded as unfortu
nate-unfortunate for himself as well as
for the iiarty.
Rome Tribune: Since the Candler letter
which appeared In the Tribune of Wed
nesday, Feb. 9, has created so tremen
dous a political sensation throughout
Georgia, we-wish to say that it was pub
lished as a matter of news’, and not for
political effect. To say the least of it
Col. Candler has Invited opposition. His
letter has centralized the forces which
were dormant. It was a political blander
the extent of which may be far more se
rious than is now apparent.
North Georgia Citizen: If Hon. Allen
D, Candler is author of the card in yester
day's Rome Tribune, over his name, he
has either deliberately, or to put it more
charitably, unwittingly, struck a blow at
a faatlon who has not yet offered any ob
stacle to his candidacy, but who might,
rfnd undoubtedly would, have contributed
greatly to his election. Unless 001. Cand
ler had assurnnee, doubly sure that this
faction intended fighting him, the card is
untimely.
Americus Tlmes-Recorder: Col. Candler
admits the authorship of the letter, and
says he stands by every sentiment In it.
He says it was given no personal appli
cation by him, but If the cap fits anybody
who desires to put It on, ho is ready to ac
cept the responsibility and defend any
statement he has made. There is really
nothing in the letter to become excited
over, yet there will be a host who will use
it against Georgia's favorite, Allen D.
Candler, in order to further their own po
litical preferment. The Times-Recorder
unhesitatingly characterizes the publica
tion of Mr. Candler's letter as a malicious,
unprofessional act. There Is no power
under God's sun that could have induced
the Times-Recorder to have employed
such underhand and unprofessional meth
ods, even though it were to get rid of a
bitter enemy. ‘Surely the tide of profes
sional ethics is ebbing low in the river
that flows by Rome.”
Senoia Times-Enterprise: After Mr. Ter
rell withdrew from the race Mr. Candler
was our next choice, but such imbecility
as is shown in his letter to the Rome
Tribune brands him as incompetent and
unworthy. There has heretofore been no
distinction as to the men who have de
cided to support Mr. Candler; nothing has
been said about the old campaign between
Atkinson and Evans, and it comes now
with bad grace, when everything possi
ble was being done in the interest of har
mony in the party, to reopen this matter,
and that, too, by the man around whom
there was a chance for all Democratic
voters to rally. Mr. Candler you may rue
your words.
Augusta Chronicle: If Col. Candler had
reason to believe that this opposition was
being hatched out by "the men.who con
trol,” and that he was being antagonized
by a certain element in the party he had
a right to say so. The severity of lan
guage allowable in a.letter to a friend
(not written for publication) is a matter
likely to be Influenced by the feeling of
the writer and the person addressed. That
language was employed which a careful
politician, who tries to run with the hare
and hold with the hounds, would not
have used, only convinces the people that
the man who is asking their support is
not a political trimmer, who tries to stay
serenely on the fence, but is a strong,
rugged man who has opinions and speaks
them plainly and unmistakably. Clearly
the bringing out of this letter is an effort
to Injure Col. Candler, but those who
have given it publicity may find that it is
a live wire tnat is more dangerous to the
men who are handling it than to the man
who charged it with electricity.
Macon Evening News: As far as Col.
Candice's letter tends to solidify the op
position to him, it can do no harm. That
opposition was already solid and is al
ways solid whenever the political bosses
pull the wires on their little heelers
throughout the state. No sensible man,
of course, will believe that the letter had
anything to do with bringing out Spencer
R. Atkinson. He had already been decid
ed upon by the “ring.” This decision was
reached as soon as Bill Atkinson returned
from Mexico to find that his rriend and po
litical right-bower, Joe Terrell, had
thrown up the sponge. Col. Candler knew
these things, knew that he was to have
opposition, knew the source from whence
it would come, knew the methods that
would be employed, and, as someone has
expressed it, he simply “fired at the ducks
before they lit.” And this is oil there Is
to it. The letter cannot make Spencer
R. Atkinson more fit for the high office
of Governor, nor can it make ring rule
and political trickery more desirable. Nor
can It make the honest, untrammeied vot
ers of Georgia less hostile to such men
and such methods. We are fully convinc
ed that when the smoke has cleared away
the good people of Georgia will see that
Col. Candler hit the bull's eye—and they
will be glad he did it. The efforts of the
Atkinson ring to make the letter appear as
sufficient provocation for opposition to
Col. Candler- in lieu of some better ex
cuse for putting out a ring candidate—
will not in the least disturb the political
equaUbrlum of the honest voters of this
state who are disgusted with the political
traders and peanut politicians—"the men
who control.”
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: If It were sim
ply an attack upon the unclean politician,
as Col. Candler would have It appear]
thousands would say amen. But it does
not appear to be such, It is an uncalled
for attack upon the present state admin
istration, and while it was in the nature
of a private letter, it nevertheless shows
a violent haired of a large faction of the
IVmocratic party which is not creditable
to a candidate for the high office of Gov
ernor of Georgia, and for the nomination
for that office by the Democratic parly
We believe that Col. Candler Is mistaken
when lie says that his friends are for him
because they are against the present ad
ministration. Some of them may tie, but
there were many who were for Candler
because they thought him a good Demo
crat. one who would do nil in his power
to banish discord from his party and
make it a harmonious and powerful whole,
i tils letter of Col. Candler does not indi
cate that he Is such a Democrat.
Macon Telegraph: At the time the
Candler letter was written the colonel had
no opposition. There was little prospect
of un.v. Terrell, Atkinson and Jenkins
had dropped out. The fact that after it
was written, but before it was made pub
lic, opposition began to formulate in a
new quarter does not justify it. It would
not have been Justified If any of those who
supixirted Gov, Atkinson in 1894 had been
contesting tn the open field for the nomi
nation at the time it was written. Tn re
sponse to his numerous letters, and by
reason of the canvass mode early by his
friends, he may have secured enough
committals to make him feel reasonably
sure of success, and therefore independ
ent. but that fact (If It is a fact) should
have afforded the greater reason for stay
ing the pen when he was templed to ar
raign so many Democrats in Georgia. Al
though he declares In his second letter,
that "there Is not a sentiment in thal let
ter that reflects oh any clean politician."
we must dissent. We never saw more
tnen than those preferred ngninst the sup
porters of Gov. Atkinson by Col. Candler
He must acknowledge that much. As to
whether or rot the nceused are unclean
is a difference of opinion. Some of them
might have been unclean, but certainly
not all. No exceptions were made.
Atlanta Commercial: Whatever may tie
said of the impolicy of the utterances of
Col. Candler in his private letter to Max
Meyerhardt, there is no one who doubts
its honest truth, and we nre glad to know
that the gallant old soldier proposes to
stand by It. • • • Everj- true Democrat
and fair minded man in Hie state will in
dorse it. • • • Spencer Atkipson'3
candidacy is in-Che Interest of uncienn
politics, and everybody knows it. • • •
It will not do to say that his candidacy
was precipitated by Candler's letter. The
plan was already hatched in the fertile
broin of the Governor, and Instead of the
letter being a slab at the Governor it was
but the indignant resentment of a blow
first struck by that wiry politician. In
stead of the letter bringing Atkinson out
Atkinson brought the letter out. This it
was and nothing more.
SPAIN'S GOOD FAITH.
More tn the Dt-Lome Letter Than an
Insult to the President.
It Is intimated in the Washington dis
patches of yesterday that there may be
further correspondence between this
government and Spain, growing out ot
the De Lome letter, not because of the
ox-Mlnister’s Insult to the President,
which is regarded as a closed incident,
but because of other utterances in Ihe
letter which indicate that Spain, through
De Lome, was not acting in good faith
towdrds this government. The letter in
full, as translated at the state depart
ment, is as follows:
Legation de Espana, Washington.—Exi
mo Senor Don Jose Cnnaiejas—My Distin
guished and Dear Friend: You need not
apologize for not having written to me; I
also ought to have written to you, but have
not done so on account of being weighed
down with work, and nous sommes
quittes.
The situation here continues unchanged.
Everything depends on the political and
military success in Cuba. The prologue
of this second method of warfare will end
the day that the colonial cabinet will he
appointed, and it relieves us in the eyes
of this country of a part of the respon
sibility of what may happen there, and
they must cast the responsibility upon the
Cubans, whom they believe to be so im
maculate.
Until then we will not be able to fee
clearly, and I consider it to be a loss of
time and an advance by the wrong road
the sending of emissaries to the rebel
fields, the negotiating with the autono
mists, not yet declared to be legally con
stituted, and the discovery of the intim
tlons and purpose of this government. The
exiles will return one by one. and when
they return Will come walking into the
sheepfoid, 3nd the chiefs will gradually re
turn. Neither of these had the courage
to leave etv masse, and they will not have
the courage, to thus return.
The message has undeceived the insur
gents, who expected something else, and
has paralyzed the of Congress, but
I consider it bad.
Besides the natural and inevitable coarse
ness with which he repeats ail that the
press and public opinion of Spain has said
of Weyler, it shows once more what Mc-
Kinley is, weak and catering to the rab
ble, and, besides, a low politician, who de
sires to leave a door open to me and to
stand well with the Jingoes of his party.
Nevertheless, as a matter of fact, it will
only depend on ourselves whether he will
prove bad and adverse to us. I agree en
tirely with you, without a military success
nothing will be accomplished there; md,
without military and political success,
there is here always danger that the in
surgents will be encouraged, if not by the
government, at least by part of the public
opinion.
I do not believe you pay enough atten
tion to the role of England. Nearly all that
newspaper canaille which swarms in your
hotel are English, and at the same time
that they are correspondents of the Jour
nal, they are also correspondents of the
best newspapers and reviews of London.
Thus it has been since the beginning. To
my mind the only object of England is
that the Americans should occupy them
selves with us and leave her in peace; and,
if there is war, so much the better: that
would further remove what is threaton'tig
her, although that will never happen.
It would be most important that you
should agitate the question of commercial
ielations, even though it would be only for
effect, and that you should send here a
man of importance in order that I might
use him, to make a propaganda among [he
senators and others in opposition to the
Junta, and to win over exiles.
There goes Amblarad. X believe he
comes too deeply taken up with little po
litical matters, and there must be some
thing very great, or we shall lose,
Adela returns your salutation, and we
wish you in the new year to be a messenger
of peace and take this new year's pres
ent to i>oor Spain.
Always your attentive friend and serv
ant, who kisses your hands,
Enrique Dupuy De Lome.
MORE FIRE MACHINES CALLED FOR
One Who Thinks the City Not Suffi
ciently Supplied With Engines.
Editor of the Morning News: In view of
the many criticisms on the fire department,
I beg leave to say a few words on that
important subject. One radical fault is
tho extreme weakness of the engines,
which leaves the city at the mercy of the
flames. A general alarm Is a common oc
currence, when all the engines are. put in
service, leaving none for any trying emer
gency. The pumping capacity of the five
engines does not exceed 2,500 gallons per
minute at their best, which cuts a small
figure In a large fire. What benefit will
the large mains be or the pumping of the
9,000,000 gallons, when they can't use but
2,500 gallons with all the engines in serv
ice? What the department needs, and bad
ly, is at least three or four new engines,
with a pumping capacity of 1,000 gallons
per minute each, and placed in stations 1,
2. 3 ami 4. and when the northern division
is called out No. 4 should come down to
station 3 and stay at that station until the
relief taps are sounded. It is the hight of
folly, and, to say the least, unjust to all
concerned, to send a boy to do a man’s
work, and then kick the boy when the.
work is iwxorly done. Our sister city,’
Charleston, has fen engines, with a pump
ing capacity of 9,500 per minute, seven in
active servloe and three In reserve, aid
does not have as much at stake nor as
much ground to cover. C. W. G.
