A town without a newspaper
would he a dead place and yet
there are business men in every
town who refuse to support
their local paper beyond a sub¬

“He who dallies is a dastard;
he who hesitates is damned.”—
This is especially applicable to
those democrats who fail to
come up to the full measure of
their duty in the present crisis.
— Atlanta Herald. It is too
late a day in the present cent¬
ury to be popping the old party
lash, Josiah. Go hack to your
den and give us the news and
if you can’t join the great pro¬
cession of the people, just stand
to one side and see the proces¬
sion pass its going Josiah.
The people who are suggest -
mg that Senator Gordon is
afraid to tackle the elephant

the Third Party have only to
wait for cool weather.—Atlanta
Herald. If the Herald refers to
the alliance as the elephant
Governor Gordon will find his
hands full. In his senatorial
race he attempted to divide the
alliance and while he faild he
succeeded in securing a few
members of the legislature, suf¬
ficient to elect him to misrepre¬
sent the people of Georgia in
the United States senate. Now
when he goes before the peo¬
ple he will find that the people
are not following him blindly
as in days of yore. Let him try
the elephant.

The Confederate Home.
Last ■'Wednesday the bill to
accept the confederate home
was defeated in the house by a
vote of 94 to 32.
The bill should have been de¬
feated just as it was. The home
would be a constant taxation
on the people o£ Ueorgia to keep
a f ew high salaried officers in
p OB iti 0 n and the old soldiers
would receive little or no benefit
from the institution.
The first appropriation asked
was fifteen thousand dollars,
^e next year it is likely they
W ouki want twenty-five thous
and so at each succeeding ses
sion. All this to support a doz
en or so old soldiers in regular
poor house style while the keep¬
ers would bosh in luxry and
draw big salaries.
The old soldiers are not in fa¬
vor of the state accepting this
home. If the state has any¬
thing to give the old confeder¬
ate soldiers let it go direct to
them. This is the sentiment
of nine out of ten of the <dd
soldiers of Georgia. The advo¬
cates of this measure as a gen¬
eral rale are not old soldiers, do
not know the feeling of old sol¬
diers on this subject and hence
vote by blind impulse.
The Constitution is saddly dis¬
appointed and Atlanta no doubt
feels somewhat grieved, but the
old soldiers do not feel hurt in
the least. They are willing to¬
day for the appropriatisn pro¬
posed make for deficit |tbis home in the to fund go for to
up
the widows.
Even the Constitution and
Atlanta cannot always have
their way about everything.
Many of the . papers of the
state are coming out strongly in
defense of Governor Northen
from the attacks made upon
him by certain presses and poli¬
ticians. The Governor has a
host of strong friends who will
back him to the last ditch in his
refusal to he docile to the de¬
mands of dictating politicians.
—Atlanta Herald. We know
of no politician who has tried to
dictate to Governor Northen.
Governor Northen decided that
he was the alliance of Georgia,
but he found out last week that
he was decidedly mistaken.
When he goes to the people of
Georgia he will find out the
same fact.
Tom Watson claimes that he
has been offered by The Consti¬
tution a committee chairman¬
ship to vote for Chrisp. Ed
Barrett wrote the letters to
Watson and now demands that
Watson publish said letters.
