Filtered lit I lie Post office lit Abbeville. On ns second-fins* matter. THI'HSDA V, MARCH !i, 1898. Bob Wick, the poet., philosopher and humorist, of the Ocilla Dispatch is at his old tricks again. Col. T. C. Taylor is announced for a he opening speech ol bis campaign for congress at Cnadilla next Satur da\ JVJmt is Tom after, anyway? Should war occur between this Country and Spain ; when the tocsin is sounded, keep an eye on the lire eating and blood drinking patriots who have been so blatant for the conflict. .Then' are some points of resem blance in the make up of Grover Cleveland and Allen D. Candler— 'i’liey are both posessed with the ad mirable traits of candor, courage and firmness. * . Editor UJiristoplK-T of tin; (’ordulc jlerald is an optomiat from away Lack lie predicts swooping vic tories for the populists throughout die state this yo.iv l'pi. qll the offices in the gift of the people. Stun Jones having caused conster mwion among tin* candidates for Governor hv his late announcement, and enjoyed it, will now proceed to uprk seriously and effectively to make the election of Allen D. Can dler, the peoples candidate, sure. In case of war between Hie United States and Spain the farmers of the Atlantic and Gulf states will do well to devote their exclusive attention to raising bread and meal There would be no demand for cotton at any price, as long as the war eon tinned. Dr. A. it. Royal has located at yoi'dcle. pv. Royal has for the past ten years been practising his profes sion at Abbeville and his splendid equipment for surgery or the prac tice of medicine "will put him in the front rank of his profession wherever lie goes. Allen D. Candler is the choice of the people of Abbeville and vicinity for the next governor of Georgia, by a large majority, At u ivopnt; mass meeting of tho citizens of Abbeville a Candler Club was formed in which the name of every one present was enrolled as an active working member. r riint Hon. 10. I>. lipuis will suc evvU hiuisvlf in Ihv nvxt v-ongvess there is no doubt No serious oppo sition to him 1ms uuuiifosted itself. On the contrary, almost without ex ception, the newspapers of the third district, recognizing his merit and ability, are warmly espousing his rt eWetion. The Supreme Court of Georgia, in a recent decision, declares that all laws that have been passed to pro hibit the sale of liquor in specific towns or localities are void and un constitutional in counties where a pVohittitiim for the whole county does not exist. This decision will convert many a dry place in Georgia into a very wet one. A Little Curious. It is :t little* curious says the finan cial Uevioiv, that both Mexico and China should have been negotiating for gold bonds, just at the moment that tilt* gentl'-Tuen in this pounttv who propose such administration for the financial systems of those coun tries were declaring that the United States, ought to pay its bonds in silver. China has just placed. $s~>, 009.000 worth of bonds, with K»g land ami Germany, payable in gold, , CAMirso. and i Mexico G • ’ has i recently , negotiating for l ids tor 5-100, worth of bonds in gold. Lewis His Own Successor. Col. Tom Taylor's lengthy congres sional announcement, which he waft ed with siH'li dramatic ( Tort to the vot‘‘srof the Third district three weeks ago. seems not l<> have created much of a ripple in the political waters any where roundabout. So far as the Timer,-Recorder can predict, Mr. Taylor J will hardly he able to enter tIn* race with atlV , hope 01 SUCCOUlUg ||oil. E. It. Lewis. The concensus of opinion is that Mr. Lewis will be returned to congress by an overwhel ming majority, and this is as it should be, for lie lias made a good reco r< 1 p r< >y i ng ,h i m se If af aithf u 1 serv ant of the people, and they will with out the shadow of a doubt reward Mr. Lewis with a second term. Tnere is scarcely an instance on record where a man went to the front as rapidly as Mr. Lewis, All knew him to he a strong and able financier 5 but even his most ardent friends and supporters could hardly have predict ed that he would so quickly grasp and master the regime of polities, as lie bus, More than once he has ap peared on the floor of the house and won credit for himself and constitu cuts iii able arguments in state and national affairs; and no man has been more v. M u-i,ful of the interests of his immediate constituents than has the faithful and energetic con gressman from the Third district. The Times-Recorder heartily com mends Congressman Lewis for his two years of Jktithful service. He is a strong, active and fearless worker in the democratic ranks; a man who makes known his con.yicj,jpqs and don't fail to stand by them. lie is a friend of the people and keeps his promises alike to one and all, and the Third district always rewards an honest and faithful representative, which goes without saying that Mr. Lewis will be lus own successor.— Am .rieus Times-llecorder. Our Military Strength. Since the explosion of our battle ship Maine in 1 lav, inna harbor uni j possibly eventuate in serious diili eulties with Spain it is both timely and pertinent to make some inquiry in to the military strength of the United States. Some discussion has already lie; n made of our naval strength. In the New York Sun of last Satur daysome interesting figures were given hearing upon the number of troops which this country could put into the field iu the event of hostilities. To make use of these figures, the strength of the present organized military force of the United States aggregates 114,3(52 officers and men. Should the necessities of war require the entire' fighting .strength of the nation, not less than 10,415,701 men could he put into the field within a month’s time.
