The Cincinnati Enquirer well

Well, will any one tell us
when Spencer Atkinson ever

The Atkinsons, Spence and

predicament.
Why should Uncle Sam use
John Bull’s navy? He shouldn’t

The Dawson News says Spen

enthusiasm.”

SOMETHING NEW IN ROME.
The newspaper field in Rome
which has been badly overwork
ed for the past vear, is showing
signs of improvement. The two
afternoon papers, Nevin’s Com
mercial and Byrd’s Hustler,
have consolidated under the
name Hustler-Commercial, with
Phil Byrd as editor and mana
ger, The thinning out of the
over cultivated journalistic patch
in Rome is a good move. Rome
till now have * * *
* * * a good, newsy,
enterprising afternoon sheet, the
Hustler-Commercial. But The
fiincs would suggest that the
latter take a somersault on its
name. Hustler-Commercial has
sort of unnatural head over heels
sound. It would be better as Com
mercial Hustler, and its readers
wouldn’t have to stand on their
heads to get the real import of
the name. Richard Le Gallienne
says that a paradox is “a truth
standing on its head to attract
attention,” but a newspaper is
genet ally too much of a paradox
itself to stand a paradoxical
name. Reverse your title, Editor
Byrd, and your consolidation
will succeed.—Brunswick Times.
Even R ed and Dingley crabled
on the band wagon
According to the Baxley Ban
ner Judge Adkinson made a cam
paign speech in that town last
week.
Not so wise as a serpent though
harmless as a dove. Who took
‘advantages” of Judge Meyerhardt
anyhow.
No North, no South, no East,
no West. $50,000 000 fjr defense
of a country with a seacoast as
long as her natural resources are
inexhaustable.
We believe that Allen D. Can
dler will get the Democratic nom
ination without much trouble.
He will mrke Georgia a grand
governor.—Darien Gazette.
Cannon’s report of $50,000,-
000 for defense demonstrates the
fact that a big gun is a “peace
maker” even in Congress.
The members of the Austrian
Cabinet have again resigned.
Times must be very qeiet
indeed when they “Bear Garden of
Europe” can not stir up a muss.
Capt. M. B. Rowe, of Freder
icksburg, Va., not long since
presented to Col. Teller,of Wash
ington, a rifle which was plowed
up on the Bloody Angle. On the
rifle was this inscription, “L.
Dugald, Company F. One hun
dred and Forty-six New York.”
Col. Teller resorted to the rec
ords and after a long search
found Mr. Dugald at Denver
and returned to him the gun
v, 'aich he dropped when badly
wounded in that fearful battle
in 1864.
Col. Candler made an address
to the club which bears his name,
in his hometown Gaitmsv lie, on
Thursday night last. The report
of that speech, sent out from
Gainesville to the press, oc
cur these words. “No man who
worked for Atkinson’s elec
tion and did so honestly, with no
impure motives is against me,”
The converse of this proposition
is that those whose worked for
Atkinson’s election and are now
against Col. Candler did so dis
hoLestly and with impure mo
tives, —Macon Telegraph.
What roti No man who work
ed for Atkinson’s election and did
“o honestly, with no impure mo
tives, is against Col. Candler now
solely on account of that Meyer
hardt letter. As the Rev. Simon
Peter Richardson says. “A man
isn’t a'ways mad at what he is
mad about!’ —Cedartown Stand
ard.
Congress has served Spain
with artillery punch—in the
creation of those two new regi
ments.
If Spain is really desirous of
tackling Uncle Sain there are
certain indications that she can
now get the fight of her life by
merely stepping into the ring
and squaring off at the old gen
tleman.
When an old darkey heard the
firing of the cannon in front of
the Telegraph office upon Mr.
Bryan’s arrival last night, he is
said to have exclaimed, “Dab,
now; dah goes dat submahrine
mine.”—Macon News.
The fire insurance rate at
Savannah has been increased
ten per cent, and the insurance
companies say Savannah insur
ance is high at any rate on ac
count of the inefficiency of the
fire department.—Albany Her
ald.
There’s fighting in the air.
While we’re confronting Spain
in battle array, England and
Russia are growling at one an
other in China. What’s the
matter with those hereditary
foes, France and Germany, join
ing this new concert of discord?
England and Japan are good
and friendly in their offers of
an alliance against Spain, but
in the matter of settling for a
wrecked American warship and
murdered American sailors, Un
cle Sam prefers to take a whack
at the Don all by his lonely.—
St. Louis Republic.
Even Max Meyerhardt, after
waiting and seeing that the let
ter he betrayed, “innocent of
guile,” had fallen short of its
intended destruction in the Can
dler camp, hastens to slip
through a loop-hole and escape
into the ranks of the people.
Who put up this job on the un
sophisticated, anyhow?
This talk about England plac
ing her navy at the disposal of
the United States, in case of a
Spanish war, is all tommy rot.
Will Meyers will be captured
and legally executed and Spen
cer Atkinson will have died of
old age as a railroad commis
sioner before any such offer will
be made by England, and then
—it won’t be made.
No more interesting statement
was made by any of those who
spoke patriotically in support of
the fifty-million appropriation
bill than by Representative
Mann, of Illinois in the declara
tion that “war is not coining ; it
already exists,” This is vitally
important if true, and no time
should be lost in determining its
verity.
Another effort will be made to
stampede Candler’s almost
unanimous following in Georgia
to the “ring.” It is said that
Spencer Atkinson will “come
down,” and leave Bob Berner to
make the race. His “coming
down” card, it is believed, will
be a grandstand play to create a
Berner boom. It will be another
futile effort. The people are for
Candler and cannot be sidetrack
ed this year.—Dalton Argus.
The “smoothes” of the anti-
Candler organs are keeping
themselves in position to support
either Berner or Atkinson. The
platforms of these aspirants are
as far apart as the north from
south. They are before the peo
ple and the one that shows the
greater strength will have the
support of the other—Both will
be defeated by Candler, the man
of the people. Mark that predic
tion.
. A RYRD’S EYE VIEW,
’Die Hustler of Rome and
Commercial have consolidated.
The Daily Argus suspended not
long ago. 'l'he journalistit field
in Rome is getting down to its
auctual needs. —Marietta Jour

The Rifle Reveille, of Colora
;do, is responsible for this:
j “Mary Matthews, a nice little
; girl, lived so far from the school
house that she rode a little blue
eyed, confiding mule to the hall
of learning. I'tie teacher thought
it unwise to allow the animal to
graze about unharmed, so he at
tempted to club it away. The
rest of the story is told in these
expressive lines:
Mary had a lirt'e mule,
It followed her to s< hool:
That was against the rule,
The teacher, like a fool,
Got behind that mu le
And hit him with a ru’e.
And there vas no school.”

Aint he guileless !
* *
*
“Innocent of guile!”
*
* *
Judge Meyerhardt, the ex
editor who betrayed Col. Can
dler’s letter, has, in all his inno
cence, called upon Col. Candler
[ and assured that gentleman that
he had never intended to do
him injury and that he had “re
greted a thousand times,” and
etc.
* *
*
And yet, the judge removed
his name from the top of that
letter, as I understand it, before
giving it out for publication.
* *
*
And he gave it to an anti-
Candler paper in Rome, where
there were two Candler dailies
in the city. Well, well !
* *
*
I am real pleased to hear that
the judge didn’t intend to injure
Col. Candler—but I don’t un
derstand why, under secret or
der-signs, he pledged men to se
crecy and told them that be,
Meyerhardt, was the party who
had given out the letter.
*
4 *
And that, too, a couple of
days before the Atlanta Com
mercial exposed him. Why all
this secrecy—and all this “in
nocence of guile?” It may be
alright, but some ho>v or other,
or some how else, I don’t quite
understand it.
* *
*
The Rome morning paper says
in its news columns :
“ ‘Max Meyerhardt and Col.
Candler have kissed and made
friends.’
“Such was the news which
came to Rome yesterday.
“After all Judge Meyerhardt
had said against Candler, and
his often expressed desire to de
feat him. The Tribune could
scarcely believe he could change
so suddenly until he confirmed
it with his own lips.
“It is rumored around that
Judge Meyerhardt will be ap
pointed to the judgeship of the
city court if Candlei is elected.”
Well, now, then !

erhardt express himself “vocal

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying tho Bost of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.
“My mother was subject to sick head- ;
aches and indigestion for over n year. j
She was unable to stand for any length i
of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark ‘
room aa she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and herstomach i
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read a tes
timonial about Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there wan
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of flood’s Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
