The Rome Commercial, under
the new management, announces
square dealing and fair squealing
for all.
A man is not likely to appreci
ate the economy of his wife in sav
ing her wedding dress for a possi
ble second marriage.
Every Democrat is urged to go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote.
The man who neglects this duty
may have cause for regret hereaf
ter.
Tom Watson is furnishing as
' much material for the newspaper
paragraphers as did hoopskirts a
year or two ago. Both subjects
are windy.
To your tents, oh Democrats!
and then from there to the polls!
Don’t forget that you ought to

sure that’ybu vote that one time!
A dyspeptic writer in the Atlan
ta Commercial says that October
is “beautiful only to the frivol

a prose poem about the “glories of
October." Is it possible that our
Folsom is frivolous?
The death of Hon. Trammell
Starr, which occupied at his home
m Dalton last week will be regret

He was a genial, pleasant gentle
man, with many strong and lovable
traits of character, and if life had
been spared him he would have
been, in a short time, one of the
leading men in north Georgia.

The computing crank has not
thought of Mr. Bryan’s speeches as
a basis for calculation yet. He
would probably find that their
enunciation would furnish air
enough to carry a balloon expedi
tion party to the Arctics. It does
not matter about the Arctics, how
ever, if they are strong enough to
land Mr. Bryan in Washington.
If you are for free silver give
your vote to Judge Maddox, re
gardless of party, says the Walker
County Messenger. On the finan
cial question Judge Maddox has
made his record. His heart is in
the cause and like the true soldier
he is, wherever the banner is, there
he will be found doing faithful,
valiant work.
Every man should be able to
realize that that there are but two
possibilities in this campaign. I
Either Bryan or McKinley will be ■
the next president. Either Demo-1
cratic bimetallism or the Republi-j
can gold To'
the extent of
Ato Senator.
Now that Judge Crisp is dead
much speculation has been in
dulged in by the papers of the
state as to who will be the most
available candidate for United i
States senator to succeed Senator
Gordon.
Gov. Atkinson has been promi
nently mentioned as a possible
candidate for this very important'
office, but of course as yet, the pub- ’
lie knows nothing of his intentions I
in this respect.
If, however, he should become a ■
candidate, and should be elected, I
this creating the necessity for an-1
other election for governor, we'
want to suggest Gen. Clement A.;
Evans as the man who should suc
ceed him.
It is not known whether Gen. !
Evans wants the office, or whether '
he would accept the nomination if |
tendered him, but if he does want ■
it, then the News believes that he '
should be nominated and elected '
without opposition.
Gen. Evans has proven himself
every inch a man. He has stood
nobly by the party, and the party’s
nominee, when he, himself, had
gone down in defeat.
He has withstood the most pow
erful pressure from his brethren of
the church in reference to the pro
hibition question, and yet, without
sacrificing one iota of his prohibi
tion principles, or receding one step
from his prohibition convictions
he has remained true and steadfast
to the Democratic party, and has
proven his honest and just faith in
that party by the work he has done
for its success.
For good and sufficient reasons
the News supported Col. Atkinson
four years ago, but if the election
of a United States senator should
create a vacancy in the governor’s
office, then the News will support
Gen. Evans to succeed Gov. Atkin
son, provided he should desire the
position, and will give him its
most earnest and loyal support.
However it cannot be told just
yet what shape events may take,
and such a contingency may not
arise.
Next Tuesday.
Every Democrat in this county
ought to go the polls next Tuesday
and cast his vote for Maddox and
■Brvan.
This is no time for indifference
and neglect. It is no time to let
minor differences interfere with
your duty to your party, but every
man, who believes in the princi
ples of Democracy should use every
influence at his command for the
success of the Democratic nomi
nees.
Judge Maddox has never be
trayed a trust, or broken a promise
made to his constituents. He has
been true, in every instance, to the
faith reposed in him, and if certain
desired financial reforms have not
been accomplished, it has not been
for lack of earnest support on his
part.
No man has done more than he
has done, therefore he is justly and
fairly entitled to the loyal and
earnest support of every Democrat
in the Seventh district.
Go out next Tuesday and vote
and get your neighbor to go. It is
a duty you owe to your party and
to your country.
If the new management of the
Rome Commercial will throw
“Thin Space” into the “hell box”
and cure the paper of its political
jimjams, all will be forgiven.

Every vote not cast for Mad

you thought of it in that light?

Do Your Duty,
Every Democrat should do his
duty next Tuesday. It is no time
for carelessness or neglect. If you
believe in free silver as a measure
that would -be beneficial to the
country, go out and vote for Mad
dox; otherwise under present con
ditions, there is a chance that the
Seventh district may be represent
ed in the next congress by a Re
publican.
There seems to be forces at work
now to withdraw McGarrity and
to concentrate the Populist vote on
Massey. If such a movement is
on foot, as many believe, it could,
of course, be only partially suc
cessfully, for there are hundreds of
Populists all over the district who
will not be delivered to the Repub
lican nominee.
Yet it is a fact that some of the
Populists are mad and will likely
vote for Massey. This fact should
arouse the Democrats to a full
sense of their duty.
Judge Maddox has always stood
squarely by his constituents and
i has never failed to vote right. The
I Democrats, therefore, have no ex
cuse for not supporting him, es
pecially wb~n there is danger of
electing a Republican, who is di
rectly opposed to the measures that
Democrats hold most dear.
Now friends, don’t stay at home
because you are busy. It is a duty
that you own yourself and your
country to go out and vote. Not
only that, but get your neighbor
interested ; get him to go out and
vote; see that every Democrat in
your community is thoroughly
aroused, and have him understand
the situation. Let him know the
danger there is in neglect and
surely then a full vote will be
polled, and a Democratic victory
assured.

Yesterday Mr. J. W. McGarrity
Populist nominee for congress,
was circulating in poster form, his
claims of what he had done in the
state senate in 1884, One of the
bills he introduced had the effect
of making every farmer criminate
himself who signed a note for fer
tilizers, without stating in the note
what it was given for. As the
farmer is the maker of such notes,
he alone would be the criminal.
Mind you, Mr. McGarrity don’t
say anything about that part of
the bill in his circular, but only
mentioned the failure consider
ation part. The bill for the elec
tion of county school commission
ers by the people was introduced
by Mr. Hogan, of Lincoln county.
Other bills were introduced simul
taneously in the house and in the
senate. Perhaps he was the origi
nator of the bill and perhaps he
was not. Mr. Maddox’s effort
against the fertilizer bill was such
as to prevent farmers from unwit
tingly criminating themselves
by signing a note given for ferti
lizers.

Throat j
Coughs I
Is there a tickling in the
throat? Do you cough a great
deal, especially when lying
down? Are you hoarse at
times ? Does nearly every cold
you take settle in your throat?
These “throat coughs” are |
very deceptive. Don’t neglect I
them. Troches, or cough g
syrups won’t touch the spot,
You must take remedies that g
will enrich the blood, tone up g
the nerves; and heal the in- |
flamed membranes.
SCOTT’S EMULSION of g
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos- g
phites contains such remedies. |
It has wonderful nourishing I
and healing power. The cause |
of the cough is removed; the g
whole system is given new life g
and vigor; and the danger g
from threatening lung trouble j
is swept away.
Book about it free.

Boils
It is often difficult to convince peo
ple their blood is impure, until dread
ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof
ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of
the fact. It is wisdom now, or when
ever there is any indication of
Impure
blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
prevent such eruptions and suffering.
“I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at
tended me over seven weeks. When the
abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I
heard and read so much about Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and
my husband, who was suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our
Blood
built me up and restored my health so
that, although the doctor said I would
not be able to work hard, I have since
done the work for 20 people. Hood’s Sar
saparilla cured my husband of the boils,
and we regard it a wonderful medicine.”
