A Cuthbert correspondent writes:
“Randolph in a square issue would
vote for a gold standard. Nearly all
the silver men of the county are pop
ulists.”
Governor Atkinson has appointed
lion. A. G. Powell judge of the conn
tv court of Early county, to till the ^
vacancy caused i»y the resignation of i
Judge Oliver.
Judge Griggs lias been in Wash
ington. An exchange thinks that “he
was there in the same capacity which
he will he there, in should he go to the
capital city during the fifty-fifth con
gress, that of n private citizen.
The government mints are now
turning out standard silver dollars at
the rate of 1,500,000 a month. Each
and every one of these dollars is full
legal tender and money of final pay
ment, and yet the sh rtekers shriek
that silver is demonetized.
Eight counties have ordered a vote
on a choice for senator on June fl, and
the advocates of that idea, says the
Columbus Kuquirer, are already talk
ing as big as if they had already elect
ed their man. Sometimes it is a good
plan to have your fun beforehand.

froni Judge Griggs since Cnpt. Ham
moiid told his hearers in Horrien
tv that the “spread eagle” portion of
■
his ( Higgs ) speech was filched, , , soul
and body, from a speech of Hen Till
man. Probably the Judge has not
yet learned a new speech.
We notice from an exchange that
a few people of Worth county have
adopted , . . ,, the platform , declared , , , . by 'he
“Rebel Party” m this county in 1892.
The originators of the movement in
this county will no doubt be pleased
to learn that the grand principals they
enunciated may yet be made an issue
in politics. A friend suggests, how
ever, that it is natural that the first
response should come from Worth
county, as there arc some of that sort
of people over there, they having gone
from tliis county.
The Atlanta Uonstitutiou, says an
exchange, protests with much vigor
against Hoke Smith leaving his
ness nt Washington and coming to
Georgia to make democratic speeches '
lnit , . sees no objection .... to Mr. Crisp . do- ,
iug the same thing. Neither of these
distinguished gentlemen have
been charged with Hoke's,nitidis neglecting their
official dudes, and

in his department than anv of his pix*.
