China, moving large bodies of troops into Heilung Chang Prov .

Candler And Expresses fl THOUSAND REGRETS Says he was Guilless, Will Vote For Candler. One of Col. Candler’s many call ers at the capitol yesterday was Judge Max Meyerhardt, of Floyd, to whom tbe colonel addressed his famous letter criticising some of the political meth ds that had been t mployeu in the gubernato rial campaign of 1894. It will be recalled that Judge Meyerhardt gave th s letter tn the Rome Tribune for publication, and that he was somewhat severe ly criticised bv the press of the state for so de mg. Since that time the judge has had very little to say in the newspa pers about his action, and he has "ested quietly under the steady bombardment of advers criticis.n. But as soon as he felt that the time had come for him to explain his position, he took a train for Atlanta and when he reached here promptly called upon Col Candler at tbe office of the secretary of state. He told Colonel Candler that he had been innocent of guile in . making public his letter, and that he had done so tl inking that it was simply a circular announce ment intended for general dis tribution. He said he had regretted a thousand times since that he had caused the colonel any embarras ment, and that nothing was further from his intentions than this. Colonel Candler replied in the best of good humor that he enter tained no resentment whatever and said that he had never suspect ed that Judge Meyerhardt had been guilty of acting from ulterior motives. The judge said that Floyd coun ty would be found in the colonel’s column and he expressed his in dention of voting for him. The two had quite a long conversation and when they separated it was with many expressions of good will on both sides. --Constitution. WHITE AND BIACK British Warships Will be Paint ed, It Is Said.
