THE GEORGIA CRACKER. Gainesville, Ga., Feb. 12, 1898. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT 6 « » ® ® THE CRACKER IS PRINTING MORE NEWS, Better news, . FRESHER NEWS, THAN ANY PAPER IN GAINESVILLE ? CANDLER'S SCORCHER. The following letter written by Hon. Allen D. Candler to a citizen of Rome, and published- Wednes day in The Rome Tribune has cre ated a sensation in political cir cles all over the state. It is written m Colonel Candler’s char acteristic style, and has stirred up jhe politicians as nothing else has done. It is expected that Hon. Spencer R. Atkinson will now an nounce his candidacy for Governor to oppose Colonel Candjer. The letter largely arrays the support ers of Governor Atkinson in the Evans-Atkinson campaign against Colonel Candler, which means, doubtless, another bitter ana exciting campaign. The letter is as follows : ' “Without any solicitation on my part I find myself a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Georgia* The men who are behind the movement are not the professional politicians, “the men who control,” but the rank and file of our party, the great middle class who pay the the taxes and bear the burdens of government. I have never seen such an uprising of the common people in my life. It is a rebellion against the men and their meth ods who ravished the Democratic party in 1894 and have dominated it ever since, the men who by methods peculiar to themselves deprived Gen. Evans of the nomi nation after he had fairly won it. “I was against them and their methods then and they are against me now. I therefore feel at liberty to call on those who stood with me by Gen. Evans in that contest to stand by me now. We fought them in the same phalanx for pure Democracy and clean methods with Gen. Evans as our leader. Now that the same flag has been put into my hand, and I am bat tling as he did for the same prin ciples, I invoke that support for myself that we all gave the general at that time. Then by political trickery we lost, now by united action and honest methods we will win. We are right and the people are with us. Many who were with the tricksters and traders then, disgusted with their methods, are w r ith us now. Let us, therefore, be vigilent and active, and we wdll in October bury them and their nefaridus methods so deep that the hands of resurection will never reach them. Sincerely yours, “A. D. Candler.” WASHINGTON. A Chicago man declares that he can rob the gallows of its terrors for condemned persons. He says hypnotism will do it. There is in the Cook county jail a condemned murderer named Merry who wish es the hypnotist to try the exper iment on him. It has not been decided yet if the jail authorities will permit Merry to be hypno tised. Written For The Cracker. BY J. D. BLACKWELL. The 22nd of February 1732 was destined to be a memorable day for all Americans. On that day on the Virginia side of the Poto mac river, 20 miles south of the present site of Washington city was born the greatest American that has ever lived. His picture hangs in every home. His name is on every patriots tongue. Priest, people and king do honor to his name. “He was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” His tory and tradition are searched in vain for a more noble character. His ancestry coveted the privilege of giving to the world such a char acter; his posterity cannot boast a greater. When a boy he scorned a lie; he loved, aye more, he lived the truth. You remember well the story of his cutting his father’s cherry tree. He was manly and just. Every one could trust him, nay more, he made his associates feel it their duty to do so. He never sneered at any one. George never stood on street corners making remarks about passers-by. He was above listening to vulgar stories. He had a great deal of self-respect, not associating with those whom he would not like for his sister to associate with. George knew he must fee her associate, and that if he became contaminated with evil boys, their influence should affect her seriously through himself. Washington did not have best educational advantages, but he excelled most of his class-mates in part of his studies, at least. At an early age he became a suc cessful surveyor. When he had reached manhood he was successful as a farmer, but at a time when his country was in such need of genuine philanthro pists the plantation could not hold him. His love for freedom and national independence over-ran the borders of the most extended farm. He was wealthy for a man of his time, and owned a great many slaves; yet, where Washing ton was there were no lords, . all were men. As a husband, he was one of the very noblest. As a friend, he was that to every one, and no one knew him but to love him and admire him. His ene mies could not but speak respect fully of him. ’ He was probably the most influential citizen in his community.

He car ried his tender, yet manly, dispo sition with him there, and, unlike most men, he did not lose his self- respect and sympathy for others in the associations of men onl3 r . He suffered the same hardships his soldiers suffered, he risked the same narrow escapes his soldiers risked, he underwent the same privations they underwent,, that the warfare might not be so burdensome to them. He and his brave fellow-soldiers firmly estab lished our government, v He in spired them with the idea that defeats were only pebbles thrown in the way to victory, but that each victory was a huge stone re moved from their pathway. As a national leader and chief executive, his career and adminis tration were as full of tenderness, wisdom and justice as his former life had been. He served two terms as chief executive and re fused a third one. Well might Washington Irving, the prince of American biographers, spend his best energies in giving to the world a history of such a man. Nor were the strongest energies of the greatest poetic gen ; us wasted if exhausted in portraying the ehar- acte and virtues of Washington. Getting’ Photographs. Mr. J. D.
