General Kvans Withdraws. •
Last Saturday General Evans pub
lished the following manly aud patri
otic letter of withdrawal from the gu
bernatorial nomination :
Atlauta, Ga., June 23, 18f)4.—To
the Democratic Party in Georgia :
This will annouuce to you that I now
resume my place in the ranks to con
tinue as heretofore my active service
for the party, state and conutry. Tht
same considerations of party unity
which prompted my candidacy at fust
now induce me to withdraw, for I would
not press my personal preferment so as
to put iu peril the success of my party.
With great gratifications I observe
the popular majorities which have
spoken on my behalf, aud I desire to
declare my gratitude to all those who
have thus unselfishly aud earnestly sup
poited my cause. During the public
discussions in all parts of the state for
the last three months I have endeavor
ed to speak worthily of the principles i
which I maintain without provoking
discord among our people or tarnishing
the honor of our party, and now that
the contest for the nomination is euded
I tender my services without reserve to
the state executive committee, aud to
the future campaigu comnvttee, to be
freely used iu support of the party and
its nominees.
In this withdrawal of my aspirations
to the highest office iu your gift, I take
with me the satisfaction of having borne
myself both as a true Democrat and as
a faithful son of my native state, nor
has the misrepresentation of my senti
ments and acts which were made for
campaign purposes affected my fealty
to the party nor my purpose to be true
to myself.
I may be permitted to counsel you to
preserve the harmony, the principles
and the power of our party, not only
in the state, but in the Union. Our
allegiance is due to the national as well
as the state Democratic party.
My views as published September,
1893, urged earnestly the maintenance,
of our state and national Democratic
unity upon the basis of the Chicago
platiorm. I held then that differences
of opinions among Democrats should
not cause personal aud bitter criticisms
of thooe of our leaders upon who m had
been imposed the responsibilities of
office, nor produce factional divisions
iu Democratic ranks. In all speeches
made biuce then I have consistently
held to that same counsel. Referring
to my interview of 1993, I beg leave to
repeat its advice in regard to the un
wisdom of assailing the entire Demo
cratic congress, aud the national ad
ministration, iu those fault fiuding terms
of impatient dissent which may be ex
pected of the foes of Democracy, but
cannot with propriety be employed by
its loyal friends. Whatever may be
the dissatisfaction with the course of
events since the party came into power
it is certainly true that taken as a
whole the national administration is
democratic aud our Georgia congress
men are true Democrats. We can,
therefore, well leave the task of con
demnation to the foe 3 of the party, and,
laying 'aside personal antipathies as
well as factious antagonism, we can
aud must agree with each other on our
platform if principles and a loyal sup
port of the leaders of our party.
We can confide “in the integrity of
purpose on the part of the national
administration that all those great prin
ciples of financial relief aud civil re
form clearly set forth in the Chicago
platform aud pivoted on reform in our
system of custom house taxation should
have force and effect in the laws to be
enacted by congress and iu the conduct
of every department of government.’’
Such is the language of a vote of con
fidence recently given by a county
Democratic meeting, that every Demo
crat may cast.
Upon our fidelity to our piinciples,
our patriotic devotion to our country,
aud our party unity, depend the suc
cess of our national party. Our state
affairs demand our equal atteDtiou upon
the same grounds. Believing that we
will have a victory, both state and na
tional, I am at your service,
Clement A. Evans.
At 25 cents per bushel there is more
profit in potatoes, to the raiser, than
in 6 cents cotton. Figure on it and
see, then plant largely of the former.
Don’t be so narrow minded as to
say if your man is not nominated you
will not vote for the nominee. The
man who cannot submit to the will of
the majority has not within him the
true spirit of democracy,—Ex.

This morning as our heaviest press
was coming in and all the foreign ca
blegrams were arriving our operator
had an attack of the jim jams aud could
not take the news. This accounts for
the lack of telegraphic and other news
in this issue. We have, however, ar
ranged wiih the Young Ladies’ Sewing

columns of rich, rare and racy news.

Yesterday Jimtown was thrown into
the greatest excitement by the report
that a well digger by the name of Bob
Smythe fell out of a well that he had
dug aud broke his leg.
We measured the well, and ten feet
.down it was so darn crooked that no
mortal could safely stand in it. Come
early and avoid the dust.
A Plain Fact.
The teacher in geography was put
ting the class through a few simple
tests.
“On which side of the earth is the
north pole ?” she inquired.
“On the north side,” came the un
animous answer.
“On what side is the south pole ?”
“On the south side.”
“Now, on what side are the most
people ?”
This was a poser, and nobody an
swered. Finally a very vouog scholar
held up his hand.
“I know,” he said hesitatingly, as
if the excess of his knowledge were too
much for him.
“Good for you,” said the teacher en
couragingly. “Tell the class on which
side the most people are.”
“On the outside,” piped the young
ster, and whatever answer the teacher
j had in her miud was lost in the scuffle.

I Have Only His Word.
Young man, what of your word?
Cau it be relied on ?
A brother was ruuning a heated dis
cussion with his younger sister, in ref
erence to the truth and sincerity of the
overtures made by a certain young man.
Her brother branded all of that young
inau's promises with insincerity and
want of candoi. The strongest defense
she was able to make was, “1 have
only his word.”
Young man, will you go back on your
sacred word, made and pledged before
high heaven to that cotifidieg young
gjrl, aud leave her so helpless iu her
defense, when berated for her confi
dence iu your promise ? -tier only
security is all suspended upon “your
word.” Tell me, what of your word,
young man ? Is the coufidance that
that young girl has placed in yonr
word to be whipped aud driven about
like a worthless thing or an idlle tale?
God pity the poor girl whose confi
deuce is betrayed by the word of a
young man, and then turning away
from her with a grinning, hated smile
upon his accursed face, as though he
had won a prize and achieved a won
derful victory.
Are you that devoid of the true ele
ment of a reliable man ? Is it to be
wondered at, that your steps and ac
tions are watched with suspiciou ?
Your word has fallen uuder par, and
become unworthy of any confidence to
be placed in your most sacred pledge.
Let mo tell you, young man, wherever
else your sacred word may fail, never
let it fail in your promise of candor,
made to a confiding, loving young girl.
Not oue in ten thousand of them are
going to go back on their sacred prom
ise. The unreliability of your word,
which has so often been knowu to fail,
is the sole reason why your word is so
frequently underrated and discounted,
as not being worth a uickle in the dol
lar. The merchant who sold you goods
on your sacred promise was not over
stocked with confidence in your, word,
but the young girl who accepted and
confided in your promise made to her,
has no higher assuumce Ut«o simply to
say, “I have only his word.”
Let that word of yours, young man,
be as current as standard gold.

Let the Cat Out of the Wallet.
lion. 11. W. J. Ham, in writing to
his paper, the Georgia Cracker, from
Atlanta, says:
“An Atlauta wholesale merchant let
a cat get out of the wallet the other
day when he confidentially explained
to a friend the argument which the
Evans campaign committee made to in
duce him to come down with a liberal
subscription. lie says that he was
told that if they could elect Evans they
could elect likewise a legislature favor
able to Atlanta and her enterprises,
and that this winter they expected to
ask the legislature for an appropriation
of a hundred thousand dollars fur the
exposition, but that if Atkinsou is elec
ted even if such a bill were to pass that
his hostility to Atlanta was such that
he would vetoe it. This is a very large
and able bodied feline, aDd will hear
watching. The name of the merchant
and the man who made the appeal can
be had whenever they are wanted. In
this connection I would suggest that
they get tbeir lawyer ready to prepare
an opinion on the constitutionality ot
such an appropriation. Perhaps Tom
Felder, or Ta Ra Ra Cobb could be
induced to do it.

The Mysteries of u Pack of Cards.
A private soldier by the name of
Richard Lee was takeu befoie a magis
trate recently for playing cards during
divine service. It appears a sergeant
commanded the soldiers at church, and
when the parson had read the prayers
lie took the text. Those who had a
Bible took it out, but this soldier had
neither Bible nor common prayer book,
but pulling out a pack of cards, be
spread them before him. He just looked
at one card, aud theu at auother. The
sergeant of the compauy saw him, and
said :
“Richard, put up the cards : this is
no place for them.”
“Never mind that,” said Richard.
When the service was over the con
stable took Richard before the tnuyoi.
“Well,” says the mayor, “what have
you brought ihe soldier here for ?”
“For playing cards in church.”
' “ Well, soldier, what have you to
say for yourself ?”
“Much, sir, I hope.”
“Very good. If not, I will punish
you more than man was ever punish
ed.”
“I have been,” said the soldier,
“about six weeks on the march. I have
neither Bible nor common prayer book.
I have nothing but a pack of cards, and
i’ll satisly your worship of the purity
of my iutentions.”
Aud, spreading the cards before the
mayor, he began with the ace :
“When I see the ace, it reminds me
there is but oue God. When I see the
deuce, it reminds me of Father and Hon.
When I see the tray, it reminds me of
Father, Son and IMy Ghost. When 1
see the four spot, it reminds me of the
four evangelists that preached, Mat
thew, Mark, Luke aud John. When I
meet the five, it reminds mo of the five
wise virgins that trimmed their lamps—
there were ten, but five were wise aud
live were foolish and were cast out.
AVhen I see the six, it reminds me that
in six days God made heaven and earth.
When 1 see the seven, it reminds me
that on the seventh day he rested from
thereat work he had created aud hal
lowed if. When 1 sen the eight it re-,
minds me of the eight righteous persons
that were saved when God destroyed
the world, viz : Noah and his wife, with
three sons and their wives. When 1
see the nine, it reminds me of the nine
lepers that were cleansed by our Sav
iour, there were nine out of ten who
never returned tliauks. When I see
the ten, it reminds me of the ten com
mandents which God handed down to
Moses on tablets of stone. When I
see the King, lam reminded of the
King of heaven, which is God Al
mighty. When I see the queen, I am
reminded of the Queen of Sheba, for
she was as wise a woman as Solomon
was a man. She brought with her fifty
boys and fifty girls, all dressed in boys’
apparel, for King Solomon to tell which
were boys and which were girls. King
Solomon sent for wafer for them to
wash ; the girls washed to their elbows
and the buys to the wrists, so King
Solomon t Id by that.”
“Well.” said the mayor, “you have
given a good description of all the cards
except one.”
“What is that ?”
“The knave," said the mayor.
“I will £ive your honor a description
of that, too, if you will not be angry.”
“I will not,’’ said the mayor, “if you
do not term me to be the knave.”
“Well,” said the soldier, “the great
est knave I know is the constable that
brought me here.”
“I do not know,” said the mayor,
“if be is the greatest knave, but I know
he is the greatest fool.”
“When I count how many spots there
are in a pack of cards, I find three hun
dred and sixty-five, as many days as
there are in a year. On counting the
number of cards in a pack, I find there
are fifty two, the number of weeks in a
year; and I find four suits, the number
of weeks in a mouth. 1 fiud there are
twelve picture cards, representing the
number of months in a year, and on
counting the tricks 1 find thirteen, the
number of weeks in a quarter.
“You see, sir, a pack of cards serves
for a calendar, Bible and common
prayer book.”

ABSOLUTELY PURE
I’m Too Busy.
A merchant sat at his office desk ;
various letters were spread before him;
his whole being was absorbed in the
iutricacies of his busiuuss.
A zealous friend of this man entered
the office. “I want to interest you a
little in a new effort for the temper
ance cause,” said the mail.
The merchant cut him off by roply
ing:
“Sir, you roust excuse me, but really,
I'm too busy to attend to that subject
now.”
“But, sir, intemperance is on the in
crease among us,” said his friend.
“Is it? I’m sorry ; but I’m too busy
at present to do auythiDg.”
“When shall I call again, sir?”
“I cannot tell. I’m very busy. I’m
busy every day. Excuse me, sir, 1
wish you good morning.” Then bow
itig the intruder out of his office, he re
sumed the study of bis papers.
The merchant had frequently re
pulsed the friends of humanity iu this
manner. No matter what was the ob
ject, he was too busy to listen to their
claims. He bad even told his minister
he was 100 busy for anything but to
make money. But one morning a dis
agreeable stranger stepped very softly
to his side, laying a cold, moist hand
upon his brow, and saying, “Go home
with me.”
The merchaut laid down his peu ;
his head grew dizzy ; bis stomach felt
faint and sick ; he left the counting
roam, weut home and retired to his bed
chamber.
His unwelcome visitor followed him,
and now took his p!ac6 by the Imdsiile,
whispering ever and anon, “You must
go with mo.”
A cold chill settled on the mer
chant’s heart, dim spectres of ships,
notes, Looses and lands flitted before
his excited mind. Still his pulse beat
slower, his heart heaved heavily, thick
filing gathered over his eyes, his tongue
refused to speak. Then the merchaut
knew that the name of his visitor was
Death
All other claimants on his attention,
except the friends of Mammon, had
always found a quick dismissal iu the
magic phrase, “I’m too busy.” Hu
manity, Mercy, Religion, bad alike
begged his influence, means, aud atten
tion, in vain. But when Death came,
the excuse was powerless ; he was com
pelled to have leisure to die.
Let us beware how we make our
selves too busy to secure life’s gieat
end. When the excuse comes to oui
lips, and we are about to say we are
too busy to do good, let us remember
we cannot be too busy to die.

Kev. J. I. Oxford, of Atlanta, says:
“My baby was sick from its birth, and
we expected it would die. At the age

It began to improve at once and is now
fat and growing every day.”
J. J. Scruggs, of Sidon, Miss , says :
“Our little girl, nine months old, was
in a very low state from summer com
plaint, and Germetuer made her fat as
a pig. Into thousands of homes it has
carried blessings of the same kind. It
is the great King of all remedies for
the little ones, and just as good for
their parents. sl, G for 85.
