Gaylesville High School has bi i'n declared an auxiliary to the I niv'Tsily of Alabama. —•■—- • ■ Mr. Cleveland does not say so, but ho is probably of the opinion that there are as big fish in the sea as was ever caught. A little Alabama girl became crazy from reading religious liter ature and committed suicide. This is one case of too much of a good thing.

She will probably be besieged with offers of marriage, now. • —•— Bishop Turner, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, will support Gov.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease is being spoken of quite unkindly by the press for wearing a handsome satin dress while making a speech in Now York “in behalf of the masses.” If she had been shabbily gowned in cotton she would have been re garded as a crank. Bishop Turner of the African M ihodist Church has declared for < G»V' rnor Atkinson The. bishop - \v- that the governor has shown his friendship for the negroes by his acts, and ho considers the gov ernor's record on local option to be satisfactory to him as a prohi tionist. Bishop Turner is a man of great intluece in his church. We have nothing to do with Mr. Wright's campaign. He may pitch it on any plane or conduct it ac cording to any methods that please him. but we must say that his at tacks on the administration of Gov ernor Atkinson have been so trivial and flimsy as to indicate that the populist candidate is exceedingly! hard up for campaign material.— Atlanta Journal. “As brave as Julius Ceasar, as e’.iquent as Cicero and as patriotic as Cincinnatus"—as Dr. Gambrell si. ss. nb Wright. Such a man is tit to rule the world.—Rome Com-. mercial. Surely, then, the dear people, will not allow such a shining gen ius as this to bury himself in the humble otlice of Governor of one ot the Gates in one of the coun try s of the world. In a p t'?nal letter written to a friend by Senator Tel hr, of Col orado, who “bolted” the national republican convention on account of its extreme go’dbugdeclarations, , the following paragraph explains concisely the attitude that will be assumed By the Senator in the campaign: “1 never looked upon my nomination at Chicago as pos sible, and nev> r expected the nom i sat! al th r\ I think it was a happy - dect ion in choosing Mr. 1 Bryan, and I shall give hiir the " l est assistance of which 1 am cap- ■ aide i . the campaign.” I ATKINSON THE MAN, Colored Voters will Vote for the Governor, Says Editor Gordon. A. A. Gordon, the editor of The Atlanta Reporter, and one of the best informed colored men in the state, stated yesterday that he be lieved at least three-fourths of the negro Voters of Georgia would cast their votes for Mr. Atkinson for governor. Speaking of the political situa tion from the colored man’s point of view Gordon said: “We have been left free to exer :iso the right of franchisa in the state election by an order of the state central committee and no other order from any source is morally binding, it is our duty to vote for McKinley, but we are bound by party ties to vote for no one else. In October we will cast mr votes for those men who are and have been friendly toward the colored citizens of Georgia—men who executed the law regardless of partisanship. “The comptroller’s report shows 111,000 colored and 180,000 white polls in the state and I am safe to say that not less 75 per cent of the colored vote will bo cast for Mr. Atkinson, who has been a governor of the people. I say this with no timidity or restraint, for while I can say nothing for or against Mr. Wright, the colored citizens throughout Georgia will bear me out in what I may say favorable to Mr. Atkinson. “Os all former governors Alexan der 11. Stephens was the most im partial. He treated the colored ■ men of the state justly and fnirly more fairly than ever before. He . worked hard to improve an infam ous convict lease system. Where Mr. Stephens Iwft off Mr. Atkinson began. He labored hard to put i ® a stop to all mismanagement in convict camps and his success has ' been greater than that of any of his predecessors. Mr. Atkinson has clearly shown that ultimately ( ho intends to put a complete stop I t) convict abuses and he will suc ceed if allowed to continue the ( good work already begun by reelec tion to the governorship. “Populists claim that Governor 1 Atkinson has imposed upon the 1 pardoning power vested in his . hands. They cite tjiat ho pardon • od a white man who acknowledged to having killed a poor, innocent negro. The true history of this ’ case shows that the real conspirator m the murder was a white populist, whom a populist jury let go free. The prisoner was represented by populist lawyers.—Constitution. Our campaigh has not for its object the reconstruction of socie ty. We cannot insure to the vic ious the fruits of the virtuous life. Wo Would not invade the homo of the provident in order to supply the wants of the spendthrift.; we do not propose to transfer the re wards of industry to the lap of in dolence. Property is and will re main the stimulus to endeavor and the compensation for toil. We be lieve, as asserted in the declara tion of independence that all men are created equal; but that does not mean that all men are or can be equal in possessions, in ability or merit; it simply means that all shall stand equal before the law, snd that government officials shall not, in making, constructing or en forcing the law, discriminate be tween citizens. I assert the prop erty rights, as well as the rights of ; persons, are safe in the hands of | the common people. Abraham Lincoln, in his message senttocon ' gress in December, 1861, said :“ No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty; none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned.”—Bryan in his New York speech . What is the use of setting up a dispensary system in Georgia, by act of the legislature, when prohi bition can be effected, under the local option law, as easily and as overwhelmingly as it was in Morgan county, last week?—Sparta Ish maelite. What with getting our favorite candidates out of the woods and into clearings Where there are plen ty of stumps, we are a busy people just now. But if Spain thinks we have not time and valor to fight she is mistaken. Have a care, Spain! The political hunting season is on and the woods are full of candi dates oat gunning for fat cffices. Seab Wright is poaching on the prohibition preserves. Tom Watson has ceased to I e editor of the People’s Party Paper. James Sibley takes his place. —» Cotton is being put on the mar ket and soon money will begin to * circulate. The merchant who wants to reap his share of the harvest should place a nice, attractive ad ' in the News. The Ledger man went to hear Seab Wright the other night and the only bit of information he was able to bring away with him was the knowledge that Scab wore long hair. • • Tom Watson demands that he be notified of his nomination. He says it is the fashion for nominees to be notified, and to make speeches of acceptance, and he is highly in dignant that the program has not been carried out in his case. The Democratic party in Georgia has been responsible for every pro hibition law passed in twenty-five years in this state. The prohibi tion sentiment in Georgia for a quarter of a century has had its support from the rank and silo of the Democratic parly.—Cedartown Standard. The registration books will close September 16, instead of Septem ber 7, as stated in these columns formerly. Everybody who desires to vote should register at once. ' Pay up your back taxes and write ' your name in the registrar’s book ; then you will be all right so far as ■ voling goes. T. R. R. Cobb, of Atlanta has , announced himself an independent ( candidate for congress from the fifth district. Air. Cobb is a very, , very bright, smart young man but ! when the political harvest is gath he will be among those who go down into Egypt to buy corn. lie , will not have anything more than . his present generous supply of Cobb. i T Strange things are continually > coming to pass and it is probable that women will one day enter politics, generally. If this happens ■ it may bo for the best, but it is pretty certain that women will not bo aldo to reform politics. » ♦ » , The Populist party is essentially • a fusionist party. It goes in with I the Republicans in Alabama, and ; the Prohibitionists in Georgia, ; with tho Socialists in Michigan • and with the Clevelandites in , Texas. Is there any suggestion of any devotion to principle in these diverse and even antagonistic linos of party policy.—Sparta Ish maelite. The men of millions who made periodical raids on tho treasury gold reserve and thus made tho bond issues necessary, are in a large measure responsible for the free silver sentiment which per vades the country. Many of these men now stand ready to spend a few of their millions to defeat free silver, but the probability is that they are aroused too late, and that their efforts as well as their mon ey will be wasted —Enquirer-Sun. Governor Atkinson has always been prohibitionist, and has voted for prohibition whenever that question was at issue in his home county. That, however, has little to do with the gubernatorial race. It is the legislature, and not the governor, which makes the laws for the state, and Governor Atkin son will sign and put into execu tion any enactment, not in conflict I with the constitution, looking to supprssion of the liquor traffic.— Cedartown Standard. There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all the other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed lo cal remedies for. and by constantly i failing to cure with local treatment pronounced itincurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti ■ tutional disease, and therefore re- I quires constitutional treatment. I Hall's Catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney A’ Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the 1 blood and mucous surfaces of the ' ; system. They offer one hundred ' dollars for any case it fails to cure. I Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists. 75c.

The above figures represent only those who pay poll tax. As there are quite a number who are too old to pay poll tax the number of vo ters will of course be increased, but just how many cannot le told.
