The Birmingham Age-Herald notices
that “the Japanese navy makes a hit

Looks a little funny to see General
Evans defending the author of the
Duncan rape circular, doesn’t it?
The Atlanta News seems to believe
that last Thursday was a red letter
day The Japs captured a torpedo boat
and Hearst captured Rhode Island.
rhe same old row has broken out in
the Thirty-fifth senatorial district and
Cobb and Clayton counties will each
present a candidate in the convention.
—— —
The editor of the Sparta Ishmaelite is
for Chief Justice Simmons, but he is in
clined to think that Richard Ru-tsell
ought to have been given time to stump
the State.
“Georgia does not need any Hearst
minor Bryan men in her delegation,”
suggests an unidentified exchange.
But Cleveland men would be all right,
we suppose?
The Milledgeville News man is not
quite certain what Kind of a convention
that is to be at St. Louis, since (J. R
Pendleton, of the Macon 'Telegraph,
has been suggested us a delegate.
The Augusta Hi raid thinks that
Hoke Smith and Charlie Pendleton
should be the four delegates from the
Stateat large to the St. Louis conven
tion. If they are all to be that kind,
we agree that two w ould be better than
more.
Pension Commissioner Ware charac
terizes the living soldiers of th 3 civil
war who have not applied lor pensions
as the “unknown army.” The “un
known army” numbers about 2G0,00C,
or 30 per cent, of iho total number of
survivors. Its members are applying
for pensions at the rate of about 14,000
a year.
The South Carolina legislature has
passed an “anti-treating” bill. Pho
measure provides that any one giving
a voter a drink within one mile of a
voting precinct on an election day shall
he imprisoned on the county chainguug
for thirty days nt hard labor. The bill, |
as passed by the house, provided for a j
fineot |IOO or imprisonment at bara
labor, but the senate struck out that
part relating tq the flue. First thing
you know, South Carolina will have
such a small vote that congress will
thro v it oat entirely,
SOME OF HEARST'S STRENGTH-
For the edification of our two con
servative frit uds who innst that-
Hearst has no strength because
Tammany is npparently against
him, we take pleasure in reproduc
ing from the Tammany Times this
enumeration of the different ele
ments of Mr. Hearst’s st tenth :
“Four hundred and fifty newspa
pers of the country have editorially
declared for him ; 200 Hearst Clubs
have been organize! without inspi
ration or suggestion from Hee rat or
hie Immediate lieutenants. Nation
al Committeeman J. G Johnson, of
Kansas, has declared for him ; Na
tional Committeeman C A. Walsh,
of lowa, has declared for him ; Na
tional Committeeman H. H. Smith,
of South Dakota, has declared for
?“m ; National Cnnmitteman James
H. Budd,|of California, h«s declared
for him ; National Committeeman
James M. Head, of Tennessee h+s
declared for him ;Commissioner of
Agii ulture O. B. Stevens, the con
trolling spirit of the Georgia De
mocracy, has declared for him;
United States Senator McLaurin, of
Mississippi, has declared lor him—
and Senator McLaurin with Senator
Money and Governor Vardaman
control Mississippi; two-thirds of
the local Demco ratio party of Cii
ca{o has joined the Hearst Club of
that city. Throughout Illinois and
Indiana and Ohio and Wisconsin,
the enthusiasm for Hearst increases
daily. In Pennsylvania the first
ante -oon ventiou action oocu cred in
the Sixteenth Ward of Reading,
where Pres dent Baer, of the coal
trust lives, and there ths party in
structed for Hearst.
“Mr. Hearst's friends declare that
he is the logical candidate. He la.
forty-one yarn old—voung enough
to b« the idol of the young me i He
is a man of great business capacity,
of unblemished integrity, of great
executive ability. He is loved by
the workingmen of the country.
Ha ia respected and esteemed by the
honest business men of the country.
He is a Jeffersonian Democrat and
believes that Jefferson’s doctrines
; if applied to modern problems will
solve them. He supported Cleve
land three times with voice and
pen and money He supported Bt y
en twice and brought all the influ
ence of his mighty instrumentali
ties in favor of the Democratic
cruse when traitors had deserted
the party and it sto id in sore need
of valiant championship
• It is the contention of Mr, Heart’s
friends, and they think it is the
clinching argument in his favor,
that he can not only carry New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
the South, but in addition he Is the
only one among all those mentioned
who can get the necessary vo'es in
the West. They say he can carry
California, Idaho, Nevada, South
Dakota and Colorado surely, and
probably Illinois, because of the
great laboring vote in that State.
Mr. Heart’s friends dwell on this
and make the point that the Dem
ocratic party cannot hope to suc
ceed unless the candidate can carry
some Western States in addition to
the Eastern States. His New York
friends believe that at the proper
time New York Citv and New York
State will declare for him. ”
MAKING THE ISSUE-
“Is the issue to be between Hearst
and Cleveland in Georgia?” asks
the Albany Herald ; and it seems to
have guessed light the very first
time. The Cleveland press is be
ginning to throw off the mask, bs
instance this would-be historical
parallel in the Augusta Chronicle:
"Georgia, indeed, has led in the
revolt against this made-to-order
preddential boom. And it is not
'be first time Georgia h>iß blazed
the way for her sister Democratic
States in presidential year. In the
third Cleveland campaign she threw
eff the politicians end led off in the
fight that gave us ‘four more years
<>f Grover.’ And her initiative
caused certain wavering Democratic
States to fall in line for Cleveland—
and Democratic victory.”
And then, in that dearjy beloved
black type by which the editor of
the Chronicle seeks to establish his
points, he asks:
“Who can say she will not do
something: like this again?"
Os course, against that kind of
type we can not say much, but we
really don’t think she will.
- — -•—
Now, Here is a Good Suggestion-
Elberton Tribune.
We would be glad to see the State
convention fix a time for holding
•Democratic primaries, and let that
same date obtain year in and year
out, just like the timo for holding
State elections is fixed by law.
Suppose the legislature changed the
time for holding State elections
every two years, varying any
where from April to September.
That would be a pretty state of af
fairs. Since a nomination is equiv
alent to election, we see no good
| reason why some permanent date
for holding s primary should not
be fixed by party law. Then all
this talk about early primaries, or
late primaries, would be avoided,
and neither candidates or voters
would have just cause for com
plaint.

Require Money From Our Back
j ward Subscribers to Pay
> for Them,
’ The News and Sun ha o just put in
a new fast press that is rfquired to
» run off the large edition of the
Great Southern Weekly in oae day,
1 and that prints every part of the
f paper more perfectly than the old
, one was doing In a short time we
I expect to pnt in a folding machine
- and make other improvements
All of this requires a good deal of
, money, and while we are not in the
I habit of donning our subscribes
I through tue paper, we do now urge
that every me who has not paid up
i send in something to pay for these
i improvements in our common prop
erty—since we do not make any
' thing off our weekly subscribers,
I but regard them as stockholders in
i the institution, who receive a hun
! dred percent on their investment,
i as they get a better paper for fifty
cents than most publisners furnish
for a dollar.
WewUshyon all a Hanpy New

make it a prosperous ons for ns by

Concord, Ga., March 16.—Mrs.
1 F. M. Smith, who had an op
eration tor appendicitis on the 18 th.
ult.* is so far recovered as to be able
to appear on the streetsagain.
Some of our merchants were far
sighted enough to lay in a large
quantity of fbnr before tbe rise -e
, prices. Concord can generally be
a p nded on when you w»ub tue
best goods for the least moiey
Mrs A A. McElveen entertained
a large number of our young people
at her handsome new home on Co
lumbus Ave . M nday night. Va
rious and popular games, lutdrspern
ed by seasonable refreshments,
daintily prepared and served, made
tue occasion one of great pleasure to
every ore present; and it was not
untill a late hour that good-night
was said.
We are glad to see orr o’d friend
Col. Judson Strickland making such
a good race for prison Commission
er. After reading his and Gen.
Evans statements in the Atlanta
dailies of Sunday and Monday, we
do not see how anyone could doubt
that a change is badly needed in the
chairmanship of ibe C uninission.
Concord is the healthiest town in
this pei not tbe State, it is now
experiencing a steady rapid growth
that has nev- r been known In this
section lv t re A list of the new
improvements, finished, under way
and provided for is es follows ;
Bank H ui>di >g • new residence by
A- A MeEiveen; J E Smith, new
residence ;D. Mallory, addition to
residence and new store building;
Smith Bros, new store building
and addition to office ; E J. Stan
ford, general repair of residence ;
Chas. T, Snu’h, addition to .resi
dence ; new school bouse to cost
13000 er more. This unusual
growth as due partly to the pnblic
spiritidofsa of our people, and part
ly b cause of the unusual school
advantage sto be gained here, but
perhaps more is due to the charac
ter of our people at large; their
pint *, civd bearing toward till men,
soberness and morality These
facts are becoming so known
than our town is fast becoming peo
pled with the most desirable classes
and an atmosphere of unusual cul
ture and rifloement is the direct re
sult. If you are looking tor the
most that is desirable and the least
evil, set your sails for Coaoord.
