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.

Marion is arranging a nice program, and those who attend the exercises will be well entertained. The pupils are looking forward to commencement and vacation with a great degree of pleasure. 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. —Madison Madisonian. 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. At Lebanon Church.

Hynds Manufacturing Co., Retail Department, corner building, Main and Broad Streets, Gainesville, Georgia. Several from Gainesville attended the ^singing at Corinth last Sunday. 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?
