For Secretary of State, PHIL COOK, of Lee. For Comptroller-General, W. A. WRIGHT, of Richmond. For Attorney-General. ’JOSEPH M. TERRELL, of Merriwether. For Treasurer, W. M. SPEER, of Fuiton, For Commissioner of Agriculture, 0. B. STEPHENS, of Terrell. For School Commissioner, G. R. GLENN, of Bibb. 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. Lloyd’s. DIFFICULTIES REMOVED. “My father, my brother and myself were all troubled with loss of appetite and took Hood’s Sar saparilla with great benefit, I have suffered for years with eruptions, but since taking Hood’s Sarsapar 11a I have had no trouble of this Kind. It has also cured nib of in. digestion.” Ernest N. Jennings, Bogart, Geoigia. Hood’s Pills are easy to take, easy to operate, Cure indigestion, h eaadac h e.
