The Thonifisville Times-Enter- prise, edited by Colonel T liplcit, has this to say in a-recent issue about the gubernatorial campaign : “The place hunters, the profes sional office holders and. office seekers, the men who “manipu late” things, are against Candler. They know they can’t use or con trol him. And this is the secret of Col. Candler’s popularity with the masses, with those who are more interested in a strong, con servative, economical administra tion of the state’s affairs, than in dishing out offices to pay political debts. ” And this comes fro“m way down in South Georgia—-down where dicates the sentiment of tlm people and shows who they want tor solicitor-general.

Allen D. is a sure winner. Hundreds of visitors will be drawn here this summer by the big Chautauqua. Talk it up. The Gainesville Chautauqua will be a grand success. It will be a big thing for Gainesville. The Forsyth Chronicle wants Hon. J. W. Robertson of Haber sham to be chairman of the State Executive Committee. Peeples may run for Congress, paign upon the high plane upon which he pitched it in the letter to the Clarke county democracy ac cepting the nomination. The people have rallied around Alien Candler before, and they have not yet lost one bit of that old time enthusiasm when rallying around such a leader. THE CHAUTAUQUA.

Our new postmaster, Col. H. P. Far row. has been giving - the office a gen eral cleaning out this week. It seems that his predecessors have been a little timid about burning up “dead" matter, and the result has been a heavy accu mulation of rubbish. There being no market for waste paper, it should have been burned. These accumulations of twenty years have been burned this week and among them were found many things that should have gone to the dead letter office many years ago. Among them a very handsomely bound bible that must have cost ten or twelve dollars, aud a letter addressed to a per son in the care of Dr. Bailey, eighteen years ago,which was put in the doctor's box for him to dispose of. Some of these things date back to Postmaster Archer's day and time twenty years ag-o. 14 Main St. >Plicue P. N.
