Mr. Editor: I see that there
are those in our com mu
nity who are, from some
patriot reason, declaring their
opposition to southern men
taking active and general stock
in the anticipated war with
Spain. This is our country—its
tiag is our protection and we,
as loyal Americans, must not
forsake it when it is in peril.

I hear that the political pros¬
pect. in this county is for most
exciting times, and the legisla¬
tive race particularly will at¬
tract much attention. We have
witnessed a deal of campaign¬
ing tiie past- week and it is al
ready cruung direct from the
shoulder. The mass meeting
very properly eliminated a hith¬
erto had feature in our political
campaigns when it knocked the
money and whiskey factor out.
Tf the executive committee will
pin theii faith to the resolutions
introduced in that meeting, and
see to it that the spirit of the
declaration is not violated in the
coming elections the ends of
justice will have met and much
peace and satisfaction will a
bide with us politically.

Col. J. N. Hale’s latest 2 -
chievement is an opera house
for Conyers. He is always at
some kind of work and. it is
seldom easy. From away back
in the early ages he has fought
“hog pens” night and day with¬
out despairing, and it was not
until March 15, 1898, that lie
succeeded in landing a knock¬
out blow 7 . He is a tireless, pa¬
tient- fellow and deserves all the
good things he gets in this life.
By the way, he is a candidate
foe clerk of the next house of
representatives and stands a
good chance of election. He is
a very capable man and his
past services to his party enti¬
tles him to a winning consider¬
ation before the next legislature.
We hope he will get elected,

There has been a good deal
of inquiry as to wdio “Josh” is
and it would delight me to en¬
lighten your readers, Mr. Edit¬
or, ou this point were it not for
the fact that half the interest
attached to this communica¬
tion is due to the mystery sur¬
rounding the writer. So long
as l feel iuelined to chat through
your paper I prefer to be known
only as “Josh,” for at some fu¬
ture time I may get in dose
quarters.

I see that the populists are
i making ready for another fight
in this county. They have was¬
ted a big lot of energy in polit¬
ical fights in the past and we
pre8UOie they have-agreed to

I for sure that tis not Mr. Wat

appUes. And the defeat of
candidates this year
! will be due to the same inlli
ences that humiliated them in
the past—a majority of ballots
against them.

I hear that some personal
feeling found expression at the
last meeting of the city Council.
This won’t do. It is not the
place to display one’s petty
prejudices and personal a*ni
mosities. 1 was surprised to
hear of it amt hope that noth¬
ing of a like nature will reach
the ears of the public again.
No damage has been done so
far hut another round might
p ■ c pitate a trouble that would
injure the efficiency of the body.
