It takes $3,000,0011 to stock
our warships with ammunition.
Now that the Spaniards can’t
get Lee to withdraw, will they
do any withdrawing?
The London Times thinks
Spain does not want war, but
says if she does there is no doubt
she can be accommodated.
Senator Chandler says it
means the freedom of Cuba, and
the war with Spain will last
from 15 minutes to three months.

The "one eyed plowboy of

Sam Jones is to hit Atlanta

They are going to call it the

Give us a governor who is a
business mm, and will conduct
the affrirs of the state on busi
ness like principles, a man who
has some spirit of enterprise,
and will encourage industries in
the state. We have enough un
developed resources in our coun
ty to make it one of the wealth
iest in the state. This dormant
is practically inexhaust-
Give us a governor who
at least encourage its devel
opment. Such a man is Allen D.
Candler.-—A mericus Times-Re
nn 1 been su that cQaiitan;
PATRIOTSAND RENEGADES
All patriotic Americans will
rejoice at the spectacle of an
American congress heartily sup
porting an American president
in a crisis such as that now ex
isting, with war almost hourly
growing mere certain.
The passage, by a vote to
which but three negatives were
opposed, of the bill providing
for the immediate establishment
us two new regiments of artillery
may be taken as an indication
that Congress is now thoroughly
in sympathy with the administra
tion’s efforts to place the country
on a war footing. This increase of
strength in the artillery arms of
the service was imperative for the
effectual manning of onr coast
defenses,
Scarcely less imperative is fa
vorable action on Congressman
Cannon’s bill, appropriating $50,-
000,000 for the national defense,
at the discretion of the President
The setting aside of this initial
war fu.id will enable the President
to purchase all available war ships
that are possible to be purchas'd,
and to take other defensive ac’iony
that must takenbefore war actuall
begins. In the swift work of prep
aring for a war that .may now
come at any time| preparations
may not wisely be delayed by
the necessity of awaiting special
Congressional action on each im
portant movement or outlay of
money.
The thing to do is to act first,
to place ourselves in condition to
meet and crush Spain at the out
set. Settlement of the details of
such all-important work may
come after the work is satisfac
torily done.
With the disgraceful exception
of Reed, Hale, Dingley and Bou
telle—all of Maine—it may be
taken for granted that President
of the United State can now safely
count upon a unanimous support
from congress and from public
sentiment in the effort to place
the nation in the best possible con
dition for war. This is reassuring
and there no cause for alarm in
the outlook as now presented.
Patriotic Americans will stand
fiimly teg« ther until Spain shall
have been soundly thrashed, the
crime of the Maine avenged and
Cuba liberated. And then, in
cidentally, they will proceed to
remove from posts of American
responsibility and honor such
unpatriotic tricksters and’ rene
gades as the four just mentioned,
Reed, Hale, Dingley and B outs He,
all of Maine. —St. Louis Republic

The Savannah News complains
that Savannah pumps 6 000 000
of water per day, while Atlanta
uses 2,800,000 gallons . But then
it requires a lot cf water for wash
ing glasses and julep bowls and
things. —Macon News.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson
has not yet resigned his position
as railroad commissioner. The
latest advices indicate that the
judge will swing on to it with
vice like grip until he knows
“whether or no” he is going to
receive the nomination for gov
ernor. The people would advise
him to hold on to his job—if he
wants any job at all.—Georgia
Cracker.
The Hon. John James Ingalls,
who used to be one of those -vho
believed no giod thing could come
out of th i Sotnh, seems to have
seen the error of his ways He
says.
“The moat gratifying indication
to me is the growth and develop
ment of the national spirit in the
South. The narrow provincialism
of the past has gone. The pointe
of the compass are disappearing
irom politics, and the state lines
are fading from the map. Noth
ing is lees designed than war, but
if war should come the veterans of
Lee and Stonewall Jacks m would
strive to surpass the veterans of
Giant and Sherman in their devo
tion to the honor and glory of the

And, speaking of Col. Candler
reminds ms that the morning pa
per says, editorially:
“Col. Candl-r made an address
to the club which b*ars his name,
in his hrnie town, Gainesville, on
4 hursday night last. In the report
of that speech, sent out from
Gainesville to the press, occur
these words.
“ ‘No man who worked for At
kinson’s election and did so hon
estly, with no impure mo ives ie
■igaiiist me.’
“The converse of this proposi
tion is, that those who worked for
’ Atkinson’s election, and ape now
agnins Co). Candler, did so dis
honestly and with impure mo
tives.”
* *
And etc , A—. Now I have gon*
to the trouble to investigate this
matter. The language attributed
to Col. Cai dl*r, appears in the
report of unfriendly papers. 1 was
confident when I read the criti
cism that the report was not cor
’ red.
* *
♦
In other woids, I knew Col.
Candler well and I knew he did
not use any such language. What
he did say was this:
“No man who worked for At
kinson’s election honestly, with
no impure motive is against me on
account of that letter.” meaning
the Meyerhiirdt betrayed letter
This is authentic. Let the peo
ple who are so keen to misrepre

to do him justice—if they did not
wilfully do him au injustice.
