IT LOOKS THAT WAY.
Notwithstanding the fact that Geti.
Evana’ friends arc at work here, it
seems that Mr. Atkinson is gaining
ground. The peculiar coincidence of
the two Atlanta papers being.a unit
for the General, and Mr. Atkinson
having voted against the Soldiers’
Home looks rather “foxy.”
The Constitution and Journal are
great papers, and Georgia justly feels
proud of them both. but wheu it
comes to anything oil earth and At
lanta, and knowing that they are not
in love with each other, or anything
in particular except Atlanta, the peo
ple seem to think there is something
In the wind to which Mr. Atkinson
would not accede.
Sotaras the Home is concerned Mr.
Atkinson is on the popular side in this
section, and could not be beaten,
for the reason he does not approve ol
the Soldiers’ Home being established,
and that too in Atlanta, of course.
So far as we are concerned we are
not committed, and will be guided in
our course by political reasons, for
both men are worthy and we have no
abuse for on her, knowing now that
we will support the nominee, whether
it be for one ot the above gentlemen
or Jack Jenkins, of Jeuninsburg.
IT HAS COME TO PASS.
Whenever an enterprise is started
in the South nowadays, the first thing
the papers and the people think ol is
the fact that it will luruish work for
the idle. In the election ot a mayor
in Macon last year, the leading claim
for the candidate was that he would
furnish work. Atlauia’s boast is that
their contemplated international expo
sition work. Macon wel
comes another little concern and states
that it will furnish work to 20 ©r 25
hands. This is all right, of course, but
the trouble comes iu the fact that it
shows it is now necessary to try to
provide work for idle men in this un
developed country. And it is further
a confession that all of these Lamps
are not tramps from choice but that
it is a problem in the south to kep
labor unemployed. This is our regret
that every oue caurot get work who
it willing towoik. Now if we had
money, or the 10 per cent tax was re
moved Irom slate bank issues, there
would be an effort made to get labor,
and not to provide werk, by the nun
who own thisi:ouniry. And we must
have a solid south on this question
that the vast resources of untold mil
lions can be developed by its rightful
owners, those who are now throt
tled for want of capital.
STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A woman had rather know how
her neighbor is dressed than anything
•u earth.
A child can ask questions that a
philosopher can’t answer.
Mau will think a fool is wise and a
beast is good, if they endorse him or
seem to like hj.n.
The biggest fool on earth can point
out a fault in anybody or anything,
but he never suggests a remedy or
helps the erring.
The devil is like a wise man in one
respect, he never gives advice. God
pities a mau who has no way of show
ing his piety only to get up and tell it
with his mouth.
A young mau aud a young lady,
who both claim to be self-sustaining,
are afraid if they many they will per
ish to death.
A man in advance or behind the
common standard of civilization, are
alike regarded as cranks.
People whom we adjudge lunatics
may have reached a higher state than
our imagination will indorse.
The majority always rules, but it is
the majority of brains and not the
majority ot breeches.
The only secret in being a success
ful politician Uto find out how the
people stand and then go around and
tell them of it.
ITS HATEFUL.
Some leading papers aud men, too,
are trying hard to leave the impres
sion that the only way for the demo
cratic party to succeed in holding the
reins of the government is to indorse
every thing and position tafcen by any
public man, from president down to
bailiff, if he was elected by the demo
cratie party. That is to say that a
man is either to indorse the adminis
j nation, or get along without pa Iron
i ago, or even the respect of those in
places of honor and trust, and who
could never have been thus honored
without this same element. He is
openly persecuting with a view of
causing them to refuse to be guided
by the dictates of their own con
i sciences and hypocritically professing
to beileve in their judgment. Al
though a man is smarter or less sub
ject to err after he is elected than be
fore. The democratic, or any other,
party which blindly indorses every
vilianous f rick perpetrated by those
whom it honored cou and not more cer
tainly, nor more effectually, commit
suicide if it should take laudanum
and go to sleep. No, sir, it will not
perpetaa'ie, nor even be potent in
lengthening the hold of any party to
cover up your crookedness by crying:
‘•Unity peace ! Peace, where there is
no peace.”
The very reverse of this is true.
Lei us have full sway and discuss every
thing and purify ourselves, and like
the fond and useful friend he quicker
to detect error iu om thau
anywhere, and t r y harder to c> rrect
it, that we may continue* to go before
tua public with a clear conscience,
knowing that if our leaders made
mistakes that the party doesn’t iu
doiso them in the wrong. For we all
know that in a republic the people are
the final arbiters of ah questions, and
that “vox populi vox Dei,” (The \oice
ot the people is the voice of Ged) and
we must do right and live, or wrong
and die.
The Chattenooga Medicine Company
have won a trade-mark lawsuit in the U.
A. Circuit Court at Atlanta. An attempts
w\s made to enjoin them from usingthe
name “Jhedford” and “M. A. Yhtdford

Draught. Judge Newman dismissed the
suit and taxed the plaintiffs with the costs.
Thedford’s Black-Draught nas been in
constant use for mere than fifty years and

In this eminently progressive age, the
education oi no young man, no matter
what his intended avocation, can be regar
ded as fully qualifying him for success
unless he possesses a business training.
Where to get that of the most practical
character most quickly and cheaply is the
question. This paper ventures nothing in
saying that investigation will prove the
G a. —Ala. Business College of Macon, Ga.
to be the very institution.
J/any young men in six to ten weeks,
at an expense of from S2O to S3O, have
recently finished bookkeeping, telegraphy
or shorthand there, and, in spite of the
ah rd times, immediately stepped into
positions paying from SSO to $75 per
monih. Y’here is usually a disposition to
wait and begin with the Aew Fear; but if
a business education is of any value at all,
the quicker it is gotten, the more valuable
it is, and by writing to the principals,
Messrs. Wyatt & Martin, A/acon, Ga., at
once, much better terms can be had than
by waiting until later on. Placed six
graduates last week.

\vo call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement w ith the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which enables ns to offer both
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$1.25 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patroaize bis home
paper. He wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through tis home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
is of the closest interest to him.
After he has provided himself with
his borne paper bis next consideration
of those who are not within easy
reaca of a first-class daily newspaper
should be to select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all the general
news ot the world, and paying special
attention to features which are of par
ticular interest to the household and
the farm.
Just such a paper is The Weekly
Constitution, published at ALanta,
Ga., and having a circulation of
156,000 copies a week, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published in
America. It is essentially a farmer’s
paper and stands at the head of the
weekly press of this country. Its
agricultural department aloue is
worth the subscription price of the
paper, while it numbers among its
contributors such well known names
as Bret LI arte, Mark Twain, Joel
Chandler Han is, Surge Plunkett, Bill
Arp, and a host of others, whose rep
utations are world wide. Its women
amt childien’s departments are pre
pared with a special view to please the
little folks and the women, and its
news columns literally cover the face
of the earth.
We a:e enabled to offer both papers
at practically the price of om , and we
vviil take great pleasure in forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us in connection with our clubbing
offer at the remarkably low price
above given.
