CITIZENS DO YOUR DUTY.
Elsewhere appears an article
from our fellow citizen, Col. Geo.
W Gleaton, who is a candidate
for Judge of the Stone Mountain
As t , • y
Circuit. e pnma
near at hand, it will be impossi
ble for him to see each individual,
therefore we desire to urge your
•nnnort PP in his behalf; Infact it
behooves every true and , , <>ya |
citizen to rally to his support in
the coining election.
Col. Gleaton is a lawyer of abil¬
ity. well qualified for the place
and is one of Rockdale’s most
noble citizens, Cast aside all pet
ty grievances, if you have any
and l**ts unite together, march to
the polls in solid phalanx on the
15th inat. and roll up an over
whelming majority for thmnann
ed Confederate soldier, who
fought so bravely and gallantly
for the lost cause.
AS TO THE TICKETS UF
STATE OFFICERS.
There is something childlike and
bland in Governor Candler’s sug¬
gestion that the counts' papers
should be allowed to print the
tickets for Governor and the State
house ofli er-, for the reason that
they do not get much work to do
and are rather hard run anyhow.
But there is one very important
point in shat connection which he
failed to elucidate. It is unques¬
tionable that the tickets cun l)(*
counties, _
printed in the various
but who is to pay for them? The
coun ty executive committee can¬
not he expected to furnish the
tickets. The county officers are
under no obligations to do ho.
The county papers cannot lie ex¬
pected to do the work gratis. As
the Governor and Suite house ofli
cers object to furnishing their
tickets on account of the expense
involved, there would seem to be
some doubt, under th« ciroum
stances of there being a very
heavy veto polled for them at the
May primary, It, would seem
be everybody’s business—and
body’s.
J. Wilde Bark, the Populist
didate for state Treasurer, is
cousin of Hon. Ilubt. E. Bark,
Democratic candidate.
A movement has been
to erect a very costly
to the memory of Governor
son. llis wifi' is talking
ranee to make a support.
There iu a hot contest over
judgeship in the Blue Ridge
cuit. The present
Judge Gober, is a candidate for
election. The other candidate
Moultrin M. Seat iou8, of Marietta.
The Clark county grand
recommended that a Dill lie
through the legislature, if possi
ble, placing all county officers in
this county upon salaries, am!
that all fees arising under the
present law be turned into the
county treasury.
What is the sense in having a
primary, to nominate candidates
for Governor and .State ho"sy offi¬
cers when there is no opposition
for those offices? It looks like
going t J a big expense and trouble
for nothing.—Sparta 1-hmadite.
We fail to seo any sense in it
either; in fact w» think that the
several executive committees have
yiudo a complete fiz in regulating
n plan for the primary to be held
this year.

SID LEWIS SAYINGS.
It is as great a sin to spend 5he
week cays in idleness as it is to
spend the Fabbath in working.
Taxation which doesn’t bear
on all citizens is one of the
forms of robbery.
Traylor, tho Populist candidate
Governor, is not a bad man nut'
is going to i>e badly beaten. j
The office-holders who fall out j
voters for not supporting him
re by shows his unworthiness of j
office which he seeks.
POLITICAL HARMONY,
There never has been a more au¬
spicious time for political har¬
mony in Georgia since 1892, when
the Populists party was organized
and made a strong fight to carry
the state.
In the first place, there is to be
no contest inside the Democratic
party for any of the state offices.
Every one of these officers will be
unanimously nominated except
Hon. W. J. Speer, who voluntari¬
ly retired, and he will be succeed¬
ed by Col. R. E. Park < f Macon.
In the next place, Governor
Candler has extended an invita¬
tion to all Populists in Georgia to
return to the Democratic party on
terms of perfect equality with the
Democrats. He places no condi¬
tions. Then follows the state
committee, which cordially urges
them to come in the ranks and
take part in the coming May pri¬
maries, and many of them seeing
they can accomplish much more
in the ranks than out, l ave signi¬
fied their acceptance of the kind
invitation.
First there was Mr. James Bar¬
rett of Richmond, who was one of
the leaders of the Populist party
in liis part cf the state. He is
jnow Co1 a full Thus. iledg E. Winn, d Democrat, who
- repre¬
1 seilted this congressional district
I 01:0 time, eavs ' that the Poi.uiisi
party . lias . accomplished all that
n
can accomplish, and that the Deni
0 ;ratic party having incorporated
tlie most important and vita;
principles ot the party, he sees no
use in waging any further warfare
against it, but that all should
! unite, and fight the party whose
1 principles are opposed to Democ
racy.
Following Col. Winn, the Hon.
^ ea * ;orn b right, who ran on the
Populist ticket for governor in
1896, is again a Democrat, and
a candidate .... t for
from Floyd county in the
ry election, and will be nominated.
I» Marion, Lincoln, Whitfield,

take part in the primaries on

many friends and wide influence,
8aid to ll8 last week that he
done with politics so far as
ing Democracy is concerned. Said
ho: “The Populist party now
only a cat’s paw to rake out chest¬
nuts for the Republicans, and I
shall not be a cat’s paw.” In the
same conversation he told ns he
had come to this conclusion some
time ago. He brought the con¬
versation up himself. So it seems
we are not to have that politica
tuuioil and strife in the state we
have been having for the past
several years.
It is true, the populists put out
a state ticket last week, headed
by Mr. J. H. Traylor of Troup foi
governor, but the nomination was
made by delegates who had been
chosen by the executive commit
tees of the counties, and the
pie had no voice at all in the
lection, The people of Georgia
don't believe in any such methods
of making nominations, but be¬
lieve in having a voice in them—
going to the polls and expressing
their choice by ballot. Wo do
not think it was intended for Mr.
Traylor to cut much figrue this
fall, but there are some men who
expect, the Republican party to
succeed in electing the next presi
dent, and a few plums will f»li
