The Jackson Argus refers to Mr.
John Temple Graves as a “para¬
bolic phrase monger and polyglot.”
Attorney-General Joe Terrell
paid the Times-News a short but
pleasant call Tuesday evening,
while awaiting his train for Atlan¬
ta. Mr. Terrell had been to Cur-
nesville to speak, in the absence of
Gov. Atk-nsofi, who was billed to
speak at that place. From all ac¬
counts wuriri Joe Terrell made it quite
for Yancv Carter and some
others who tried to interrupt him
with questions. Mr. Terrell says
he is of the opinion that Gov. At-
kinson and the State ticket will be
elected lyy 50,000 majority, as
there have been about 290,000 F 0 t-
ers registered in the state.
A Change.
Next week the Times-News will
be again enlarged to meet the de¬
mand for advertising space to 6
columns 8 pages'. Mr. W.M. Kil-
go takes one page to tell his feus,
turners of his bargains, and Mr. J-
R. Mann, the hustling merchant at
Mitchell’s old stand, will increase-
ids advertisement to one-half page,
and others say they want space.
With the proper encouragement
Toccoa could always boast of a
first class country weekly. We do
oilr part and it only remains for
our citizens to do their part,
Populists Will Share,
As there has been a large-sized
hurrah made in almost all sections
of the state for a “fair count and
full vote” by the Populists, and as
Rev. Sain Jones has publicly ad-
mitted that he,as a democratic elec¬
tion manager, chewed up and de¬
stroyed votes of the opposition can-
didates, so as to give or increase
the democratic Majority, the At-
Hnta Journal sent out a letter to
the county chairmen asking them
if they intended to heeci State
Chairman Clay’s recommendation
to divide election managers with
l b e populists. All the replies say
that they will. The following two
answers will be of interest to our
readers :
lhe Journal: c'ornefia, Sept. 26.
An arrangement will,in all
probability, be made to divide election
managers in Habersham county.

barnesville. Sept. 26.
The Journal: There has been an arrange-
meat agreed upon between the parties in
tes county as to managers for the election,
S. M. Ayers, Chairman Dem. Ex. Com.
One thing we are glad of: The
democratic party has no more self-
confessed perjurors—as Rev. Sam
must have certified on his returns
of that election that they were true-
Ttte returns were not true because
he cnewtd up some of the ballots.
Sam’s now a populist-prohibition
Good riddance to bad rubbish,

^ „ leniing, Augustdj recently

A. G. McCurry, the Democratic
candidate for the Senate from this
district, the following letter, which
we pleasure in producing:
“J am glad you are going to make
the race for the Senate from your
District, instead of for the Judge!
ship of y 6ur Circuit. I do not
n i ea n to question at all your fitness
‘
f 0 r judicial work but your
activity profitably of body and brain could be
more occupied in the ac-
tive contest of public life. I re-
member the first speech you made
when you came to Athens from one
of the up country counties, and I
took pleasure in giving you my vote
for the Sophtnore Medal for the
best debator. For many years after
our college acquaintance I saw
nothing special of you until we met
again in the Georgia Legislature,
In appointing you Chairman of the
Special Judiciary Committee, I felt
that I was barely doing you justice
and your record in that capacity
could not have been surpassed by
any one. I do not hesitate to say
that no other Chairman of any
Committee of the Legislature did
more prompt and faithful work
than yourself. Bills that might
naturally have been given to other
committees in order were that frequently there sent tc-
yours, delay in obtaining might be
no a report. As
Speaker of the House, I always
felt that I could rely on you for
prompt and official service, and
there is no part of your your public
in which you have a right
to look back to with more satisfac-
tion.
Yours very truly,
Wm. H. Flemming.
