ATLANTA.
Tbs ( ornir ■(•■•—Pollllral (iosolp.
Itaviug just hail a pleasant trip
to Atlanta, I thought it not tin -
likely that what I saw anil heard
■night be of Interest to your read,
ers. To say Atlanta is a city of
large proportions amt with bright
future prospects, is but to repeat
what has been often said before.
Georgia is and ought to l>c proud
of the Gate City.
It was our pleasure to witness
the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the Capitol building now
in process of erection. There was
an immense throng of people from
all parts of the State, and they pro
seated an imposing sight. Should
the contractors complete the job as
is contemplated, tbe Ktupirc State
of the South will have a building
worthy of it. Everybody seemed
happy and to all appearances pros
perous.
While in Atlanta it was not at all
supposing that 1 heard much suid
about the future prospects of men
and measures. Politics is ever an
open question in Georgia. All
men are suppossd to have opinions
and not a lew ol them are ever
willing to express them. Although
the time for the election of oar
chief executive is quite a time off,
many are the conjectures as to who
shall be the fortunate man. 'Quite
a number of prominent names are
spoken of as designating the one
upon whose shoulders the honor
will rest. Among the many we
noted the names of Simmons, Ba
con, Carlton and our preaent Gov
ernor, McDaniel. The friends of
each seem hopeful, if not sanguine.
McDaniel has been elected twice
under the new constitution and it
is claimed by many that this Is the
lull measure of his privilege. The
Governor himself, however, it is
said, ia not of that opinion and un-
leas something better is presented
be may stand for the office again.
The frienda of Baceo insist tbst bs
is entitled to it. First, because of
bis peculiar fitness; and second, be
cause it is thought that lie ought
and perhaps would have been nom
inated before this if nothing unfair
had transpired. How this is we
have no opinion to express—we
only intend to give what we have
beard.
Carlton has quite a largo follow
ing, and it is not impossible for
him to present such nn array of
strength ns will make him to be
dreaded by other aspirants.
Simmon, although quiet and ap
parently not deeply interested, it
is thought holds a stronger hand
than cither of the gentlemen
named. Ills career as President
of the Senate, followed by a term
of years on tbe bench of llie Supe
rior court, has developed in him
inany qualifications necessary to
fit one to discharge the duties of
the office.
We were struck, however, with
the idea that these gentlemen are
cither frumXorlh or Middle Georgia
—not a name is mentioned from this
part of the State. We thought while
listening to tbu varied opinions we
could name some In Southwest
Geoigia as competent as can be
found in any other portion ol the
State, and we would not lie aston
ished if before the asseinoiing of
the convention our section will pre
sent a candidate that will sweep
the field.
The prohibition question is one
of much consideration. There is
evidently a strong sentiment in
that direction, and unless our legis
lature shall pass some law to meet
the demands of that large and re
spectable class it may present its-
self in an organised form and as
sert its claims to tbe consideration
of tbe people. Without intending
to expreaa an opinion as to what
ought to be done, we do not hesi
tate to state that the traffic in ar
dent spirits is regarded by many
as an evil that ought to be arrested.
Felton may come to the front ae an
Independent candidate, and unless
the prohibition element in solid
phalanx, presenting a formidable if
not a victorious array.
The legislature as a whole aeem
contented and willing to “fight it
out on that line until summer.”
Happy Representatives and Sena
tors, may your shadows never grow
less. Nothing like living at tbe
expense of the people.
The following complimentary no
tice of our immediate Representa
tive, Will Hawkcs, is taken from
the Gainesville Eagle and Press:
Among those in the House who-
hid fair to obtain the highest posi
tions in the gift of the State—those
who are unqeslionably designed for
statesmen rather than mere politl- -
cians—who have breadth and intel
lectual power as well as culture—
McLendon of TSornas, Herner of
Monroe, Chappell of Muscogee,
Hawkes of Sumter, Terrell of Meri
wether, and A rnheim of Dougherty,
stand iu the front rank, andiftbese
men do not achieve distinction,
and leave their impress on tbe age
in which they live, then are men’s
early achievements no fair index of
what they arc likely to attain to
when they arrive at the full ma
turity of their minds and cbarac-
ters. On the shoulders cf such as
these the hurdens of slate and so
ciety will soon fall, and Georgia ia
to lie congratulated that she has
such sons coming to tbe fore, to
whom she way look with confidence
to serve her faithfully and well.
We are glad to know that tboae
who know Mr. Hawkea, and espe
cially those who are acquainted with
his conduct as a legislator, appre
ciate his worth. We must fully agree
with the writer in wbat be baa so
kindly said of our distingalshed
representative. He has said noth
ing unwarranted. If patriotism,
statesmanship and integrity are
virtues that mark the com ing man
then may we confidently look for
ward to tbe time when Mr. Hawkea
will rise to a<hig1icr position and
greater usefulness.
We were placed under many ob
ligations to our 8enalor, Mr. Mar-
ray, and to Kepresentalira Adder-
ton for the attention shown ns
while in Atlanta. May they lien
long and prosper. 0,
