Ex Congressman John \V. Mad dox, whose seal in Congress is now filled by lion. Gordon Lee, is a can didate for Mayor of Rome, lie is : opposed by John M.

Sixty or seventy mil lions of dollars have already been expended on this project and the government lias absolutely noth ing to show tor the expenditure except a horde of officials and em ployes who are drawing salaries in Panama much larger than they co uld have ever earned at home. The South wants the canal com pleted, but not at the expense of maintaining a gigantic graft for fifteen or twenty years. At the present ratio of expenditures and progress the canal project will bankrupt the government.

MAIL I The Albany Herald advises John Temple Graves to cut loose from the Atlanta News and start |another paper. If Graves does j that, the gentlemen who control The News will awake some line ! morning with a choice assortment | of knowledge they seem to lack at present. lion. E. T. Steed has announced his candidacy for the oHleeof State Senator in the .‘{7th District, com posed of the counties of Carroll, Heard and Troup. He is a mem ber of the House of Representa tives, having represented Carroll in the Legislature during the past four years. There are .'17 counties in Georgia jin which more negroes than white 1 men have paid poll tax. The I News fails to see how the poll tax requirement or the white primary can maintain white supremacy in j these .'{7 counties. Probably some of the opponents of disfranchise* j meat can inform us how it is to be done. The public lias been aware for several months that the dear Herald and Advertiser was losing sleep,appetite and llesh on account of Coweta county’s evident de termination to vote for Hoke Smith for governor; and it is obvious that the 11. and A. is still atllicted with a pain caused by this county’s at titude in the gubernatorial race. Congressman DcArmond of Missouri believes that either Wil liam J. Kryan or Governor Folk w ill lie the next Democratic nomi nee for President. The rank and tile of the party will 1h> satisfied with any real Democrat who is big enough to be President. What we desire to escape is another calamity of the proportions of Wall Street’s dummy, Alton B. Parker. Griffin is to have city delivery of mail, beginning May 1st. The receipts of the Griffin postoffiee for the last fiscal year amounted to only .*17 more than the receipts of the Newnan postoffiee. This shows conclusively that Newnan lias excellent claims on which to base a request for city delivery of mail. Furthermore, the receipts of the Newnan postoffiee for the present fiscal year will amount to 91 2,000 or more; an increase of at least 92,000 over the receipts of last year. The receipts for the month of January, 1900, amounted to 91,200. 'The basis of the city delivery system is annual receipts amount ing to 910,000. No office showing smaller receipts than this amount w ill be given city delivery; but any office making this showing has a claim upon the postoffiee depart ment for city delivery. Newnan can secure city delivery of mail. There is no uncertainty about this fact. The only thing necessary to be done is to press Newnun’s claim in the postoffiee department. Mrs. Atkinson, in her official capacity, lias already placed the facts in reference to Newnun’s need of and claims for city delivery before the proper of ficials. If the people of the city co-operate with her this matter eau be brought to successful issue at an early date. As to the liest means of accomplishing the de sired result, let all interested citi zens consult Mrs. Atkinson and act in concert. Newnun’s need of city delivery is obvious. The business of our postoffiee is already overcrowding tlu* postoffiee building; and it is in creasing so rapidly that immediate steps must U* taken to relieve the situation. This can be accom plished in a large measure by city delivery. Newnun’s claims to this recognition by the postoffiee de partment are unassailable. The only thing necessary is to press these claims upon the department. DEPOT 8T. E. O. REESE, NEWNAN, GA. Newnan Marble Works, J. E.

PRICES. With its usual remarkable dex terity in making startling discov eries in politics, the esteemed Her ald and Advertiser lias found that Hoke Smith would not have car ried Coweta County if Dr. Nuuual- ly had not entered the race for governor. Will the esteemed Her- i aid and Advertiser now inform the: public if this statement is equival ent to saying that it would have carried the county for Howell, but now proposes to carry it for Dr. NunnallvT A Habit to be Encouraged.
