Returned From Florida.
:,Ir. ,T. R. Brantley has returned from
Florida where he has been spending
several weeks at his orange grove. He
has been working on his place and I
pruning his trees which promise to bear
well next winter. Mr. Brantley visited
Tampa and Fort Tampa last week ana
saw the <uuny of soldiers encamped
there. He said it certainly looked like
war there, and it was interesting to
watch the soldiers. His trip was a very
pleasaDt one.

irs held a responsible position in the interior department at Washington.
B soon as war was declared between the l nited States and Spain he im-
fediately secured a leave of absence and offered his services to Governor At-
Inson of Georgia, lie went to Atlanta and consulted with Colonel Oscar J.
lown, Adjutant General, and was at once appointed a recruiting officer for
■nnesviUe.

lat he had been appointed a second lieutenant and assigned to the light bat-
Vv of artillery by Colonel Brown. His commission was given him and he was
Wered to Griffin where the Georgia troops have been mobilized-
|Mr. Longstreet hns the military bearing of his distinguished father who was
hero upon so many bloody battlefields from 1801-65, and has all the fire and
|ht in his make up which characterizes his honored sire. Nobody who Ifnows
[c doubts for a moment that he will render distinguished service to his coun-
and honor the state which has honored him.

regiment. A number of the men under
Lieutenant Chamblee were from the
city, a number from the surrounding
country, and the remainder came from
nearby towns. The men make up a
strong company anc. good service is
expected of them.
• Quite a crowd collected at the depot
Thursday morning to see the boys off
and bid them God speed. The boys
were in a jolly raaod, and the war
spirit was running high.

house Friday, May 20th, promises to be
very interesting. Prof. J. W. Marion
is arranging a nice program, and those
who attend the exercises will be well

Hon. Fletcher M. Johnson.
One of the most prominent members
of the legislature for the past three
or four terms is Hon. Fletcher M. John
son, or as he is popularly called
Fletch Johnson, of Hall. *
l Being an uncle of Albert Douglass of
1 our city, he will have in our county
many well wishers in his race for So
licitor-General of the Northeastern
Circuit. Full of energy, fearless in
the discharge of his duties, and a law
yer by nature as well as education and
experience, he would make an unsur
passable state’s officer. He possesses a
number of characteristics similar to
those of Hon. E. W. Butler, of our city
who, as the state's officer in our county
court, has shown himself the peer of
any Solicitor General in Georgia. If
merit is the test in this race Mr. John
son will hardly fail to wear the laurels.

Good for Union.
Colonel “Buck” Candler was down
from Blairsville this week and stated
that Candler and Thompson were get
ting along swimmingly in his neck of
the woods. There are too many good
men in Union to go wrong in this-<;am-
paign. and consequently the majority
of them are for “Your Uncle Allen”
Candler and “Slick" Thompson.
Colonel Candler went down to Atlahta
on a short trip, and is going back to
Union to whoop ’em up with renewed
j energy for the people's favorites—Can
dler and Thompson.

THEY CAN’T HEAD HIM OFF.
The following editorial from the
Macon News expresses the case so
clearly that The Cracker takes
pleasure is reproducing it:
The 6th of June is now less than
a month off, and yet the combined
forces have utterly failed to dis
turb your Uncle Alien or in any
way cause a revolt in his ranks.
It was the latter thing they coun
ted on doing, hence the several
desperate attempts at stampeding,
while, after the dust cleared away,
showed only a few political mave
ricks making off. Colonel Can
dler’s forces havn’t stampeded
worth a cent. First there was the
Rome letter; it was played for its
full value, and a little more, but
it only caused a temporary flutter
of excitement. The one definite
result, so far as we have seen, was
to so disgust Judge Meyerhardt,
(the man to whom it was written)
with the methods of those who at
tempted to use it against Colonel
Candler as to make of him an
avowed Candlerite at once.
Then came the Augusta letter;
it, too proved to be a political
boomerang, and since that time
the allied forces have quit looking
up Colonel Candler’s letters. He
has, no doubt, written a great
many others but the opposition
doesn’t care to make public any
one of them. They have found
out that the trouble with them is
the people believe them.
So they dropped the letter game
and went to work to pick flaws in
Colonel Candler’s record. They
would have been better engaged
had they been studying his record
as a guide for themselves and
other politicians of less worthiness.
After sifting bis entire record of
forty years, they could find abso
lutely nothing against him except
that he helped to build a railroad
in North Georgia, for the develop
ment of that section and the im
poverishment of himself, and was
made president of the company.
Therefore he must be a railroad
monopolist and the friend and ally
of railroad monopolists. This
was all they had. It wasn’t much
but they had to have something.
And they have been trying to palm
it off on the people. But the
trouble is the people won’t have it.
They know a great deal about
Allen D. Candler’s record them
selves. They know what his
neighbors think of him—and that
is a pretty good criterion. They
know that lie has a record for
honesty and political integrity.
They hear him talk, thev look into
his rugged, honest face and they
say to themselves, “That man’s j
all right; if we can’t trust him,!
there’s no one else we can trust. j
They don’t see anything in the
records or words or faces of Can
didates Berner or Atkinson that
makes them mpre entitled to con
fidence. On the contrary, they
say to Mr. Berner, when he tells
them w hat he is going to do to the
railroad monopoly that is violat
ing the laws of Georgia, “Why
didn’t you?” They recall that lie
was in the senate, even the presi
dent of that body, and that the,
state legislator is hotter qualified j
than even the governor himself, to
call a fyalt on an unlawful monop
oly by simply bringing about leg
islative action. And they say to
Mr. Atkinson, “Who sicked you
on?” They didn’t like the name
on his collar. It’s his own name,
to be sure, but it’s also another’s.
And the people have had quite
enough of that sort of thing, thank
you.
And so the campaign w as waged
until now, as a last resort, they
have gone to telling it on Colonel
Candler that he “cusses.” They
have practically abandoned every
other issue and are now reviewing
you Uncle Allen’s vocabulary of
choice and expressive adjectives,
adverbs, etc. They are practically
agreed that this is aH they can say
against him, and they are using it
as a vote maker among the sancti
fied. They now allude to him as
the “cussin’ candidate.” And if
he isn’t, he ought to be. If to be
the intended victim of such pusil
lanimous political methods as
haye Ueen attempted in Georgia
this year doesn’t justify a man in
making a record for “cussin”’ all
we have to say is, what would
do it?
But even this will avail them
naught. From Glynn to Dade the
cry is the same—“Candler and a
general clean up’*. And God
knows we need both.
WHAT’S THE MATTER.
Why is the Harmony Grove
Echo-Gazette so bitter against Mr.
Thompson? When Dr. Hardman,
the brother of the editor of that
paper, was a candidate for the
Senate in the 33rd Senatorial Dis
trict Mr. Thompson took off his
coat and together with his friends
led the fight for him in Hall
county which went for him by a
good majority, leading the ticket
and receiving one vote more than
Col. A. D. Candler who -was run
ning for Secretary cf State.
But now, strange to say, when
Mr. Thompson offers for an office
which he is abundantly competent
to fill, the editor of the Echo-Ga
zette, the brother of Dr. Hardman,
without any cause or excuse what
ever, that, we can see, uses hi$ l
paper to make a bitter personal
fight on kirn.
Is this the way tho editor of the
Echo-Gazette proposes to do—re
turn evil for good?
