The “Circular Letter.”
About 1000 burros are to bt
shipped from Seattle, Washing
ton, to Japan for pack animals.
Let’s see to it that Georgia’s
next Governor, Allen D. Candler,
is given an ovation when hf
comes to Rome.
They insinuated the Consti
tution had lied and dared it to
give the names. They got Jthi
names and now they are like tin
famous kid the kaff run over.
A Madrid newspaper com
plains that ’‘despite adverse cur
rents, General Lee stands like a
proud rock, defying the ele
ments” —meaning, of course,
the element of treachery in tin
Spanish character.
Berner seems to be determined
to array the rich against tin
poor, the masses against the
classes. He won’t get 50 votes
in a white primary in Floyd
county, —nor will Atkinson
double that number.
The Bob Berner organs an
“pestered a heap.” They are
afraid that the fact that Bob
held office under Cleveland and
that he usetowas a gold bug
wont, be appreciated among the
masses and they are—howling.
Great Britian has provided an
expenditure of $127,000,000 for
the betterment of her navy this
year, while we have set aside
$50,000,000 to preserve the
peace on this side of the water.
This represents the difference be
tween the cost of war peace.
De Lome’s successor declares
that Spain intends to do every
thing that is honorable to avoid
war. And it is now suggested
that the new minister will confer
a favor upon the American peo
ple if he will define define “hon
orable from the Spanish stand
point.
HOW THEY STAND.
The Rome Tribune liees to an
nounce that the prtss of the state
is behind the gubernatorial race of
Spencer Atkinson. Yesterday’s
Constitution, however explodes
that statement by giving the
names cf the weekly editors who
say v.here their papers are, as
follows:
For Allen I). Candler 76.
“ S. R. Atkinson 22.
“ Bob Berner 21.
Undecided 29.
Candler will be the next Gover
nor —mark that prediction.
STARTLING?
The startling rumor reached
Waycross this morning that Mc-
Kinley had declared his inde
pendence of Hanna. Will it
cause war? That’s the question.
—Waycross Herald.
War or no war, the fakir who
started that rumor must be the
same man who started the ru
mor that Spencer Atkinsoil was
not going to take Sam Jones’ ad
vise, and that he was going to
resign. But the author of the ru
mor was only a fluent falsifier,
The snuff combination will
yet set the country a sneezing.
Our motto: The very best pa
per we can get out every day in
the week.
Uncle Sam needs more
Cramps—in the navy yards of
this country.
Rockmart and the Kimball
house are running rival slate
mines just now.
Willie Hohenzollern may be a
peach but he’s not much stucx
on American fruit.
Since the success of the Cis
neros rescue the Journal might
try its hand on the liberation of
Dreyfus.
Now if there is anything at all
left that Mr. Berner is not
against we suppose that is what
he is for.
Weyler the Sprinter, alias the
Spanish Fly, is training to lead
the Spaniards--out of th” first
battle wll Americans.
The fellow with heart trouble
has no business monkeying with
the gubernatorial situation in
Georgia this year.
-
The first street railway in Amer
ica started on the Bowery. New
York, and ran from Prince street
to Fourteenth street, in 1831.
A civilized nation over which.a
war cloud is not now hanging is
the exception. What is the mat
ter with the people of this earth
anyhow?
From recent events it 'would
seem that the blood of Judas
and of Annanias had met and
mingled and come down through
the centuries.
The Plowboy of Pigeon Roost,
is harrowing—gee, Spence I—for
the Capitol City Club, later on
lie will put on his sweep—haw
haw, Bob !—and clean up the
whole field by layin-by time.
The Kentucky legislator be
lieves that fighting, like charity,
should begin at home—this is
meant as a charitable construc
tion placed on recent warlike
events transpiring on the floor
of the Kentucky home.
Will the politicians who are
howling for Atkinson name one
race he ever made before the
people in which he was elected
or in winch he ever carried his
home county? Strong I—as a
sand foundation in highwater
district.
A BYRD’S EYE VIEW,
Seab Davis, the hustling man
ager of the E. E. Forbses Rome
branch house, showed me a big
shipment of’97 models, also a
big consignment of second hand
and “traled in” wheels he has
just received, in all obout 60.1
These wheels looked to me to be
in fine shape.
**»
There were ladies’ and gents,
boys and girls wheels. And they
range in price from $lO up. Mr.
Davis remarked : “lam going
to close these wneels out right
away. They are good machines,
but I must have room for new
stock right away.”
***
In addition to this particular
shipment of goods, Seab Davis
has any and everything in all
the very latest improved wheels
and he tells me that he under
sells the lowest. He i» doing
business in the Kincaid build
ing.
♦
Major Lavender, the courte
ous and efficient Freight Agent
of the Southern Railway for
Rome, tells me that while the
general business of his road is
better, much better this season
than last, that the fertilizer bus
iness this year is oft’ about 40
per cent from last season.
***
This is a splendid indication
and promises much for the plant
ers of this section. “But,” re
marked Major Lavender, “you
must remember that last sea
son’s receipts for fertilizers were
extraordinarily heavy.”
I asked him how this season
would compare with seasons pri
or to last year. “This season’s
receipts have been considerably
lighter than any I know of.”
said he.
*♦*
Continuing, he said: “But
while the farmers are curtailing
their guano purchases they are
buying corn very heavily, about
30 cars of Westorn grain coming
to Rome in the past few weeks.
This is unusually heavy.
»
* *
I write this merely to show
the trend of the who
buys on time and depends on
the supply merchant—he is de
cidedly too numerous in the
land.
***
Looking at it from a broad
and retrospective point of view,
the recent fire in the Moseley
building was a blessing in dis
guise—though a little warm.
* *
*
The insurance has been ad
justed and already Capt. A. B.
S. Moseley has let contracts
and has material on hand for
the work of replacing.
* *
*
The new building, for virtual
ly it will be new, will be put on
the city grade. The old front is
to be torn out and a red, press
ed prick front is to go in.
Capt. A. B. S. Moseley is
public spirited and practical
When he “comes up” out of the
mud, and Capt. J. B. Nevin
puts the opera house on the
grade, as he is going to do at
once, then the Rhodes building
will be the only “depression”
up to No. 329, the old “Kash
Shoe Store,” now the Singer of
fice.
***
And when No. 329 and Dr.
Trevitt’s No. 321, and Capt J.
H. Rhodes “come up,” then that
block will be rid of “hills and
hollows” and will have been lit
erally jacked out of the high
water. Rome is alright—like a la
boring man you can’t keep her
from thriving.
Its amusing to note how and-;
denly 'he Macon Telegraph, at-|
ter the Tom Hight letter, abun-l
doned the “Coop-trapper” fea'tre|
of its “disinteieattd” plan of
! campaign
--
“Norsk Kviiidestemmeretaforen
ing” is the name of tr.e woman’s
suffrage society of Norway. No
wonder the mail are at raid to give i
their Norwegian s stera equal
rights.
Considering the alleged physi
cal disabilities of Uncle Sain’s
pensioners, isn’t it a bit strange
that opposition to the publishing
of the pension list should be so
able bodied?
France and Germany, allied
with Spain, would feel mighty
uncomfortable if they had to,
fight to the tune of Hail Colum
bia on one flank and Rule Bri
tannia on the other.
The Cuban wars would prove
an asylum of peace, for the anti-
Candler politicians, before the
people get through mopping up
the Georgia encampment with
them in the campaign now on.
Mme. Carnot, it is said, has
had a chapel arranged in her
apartment in Paris, where she
has placed around the portrait
of her husband all the souvenirs
sent to her after his assassina
tion.
It would seem that, the Berner
itee and the Alkinsonites are each
trying to make the other come
down so tuat all forces can be
concentrated upon Mr. Candler.
It is no use. They might as well
quit right now as the people want
a free and uutrammeled man to
occupy the gubernatorial chair
and in Allen D. Candler they
recognize that man. —Americus
Herald,
“A curious innovation,*’ says I
the Boston Transcript, “at the
coming Omaha Exposition will
be a Bureau of Courtesy. Not
only is the idea novel, but it is
surprising to learn that nearly
all the people in Omaha will be
enrolled in the committee. Ev
ery member will wear a badge,
and visitors will be at liberty to
address any one who wears the
badge and ask for information
just as much as he likes. The
member, on the oilier hand, will
be pledged to treat the visitor
visitor courteously and answer
his questions, or put him in the
way of getting them answered.”
Do You Like Fine Butter?—
We have just received a spipment
of the finest] butter ever brought
to Rome. It is the famous Ele
gant Creamery, called the Little
Butter Cup, fre-h. sweet and solid
packed in hondsome one pound
bricks, full weight. In order to
ntreduce this butter we are going
•ell it at 25s lb. All we p&k is
that you try one pound.
