Hon. Allen D. Candler will
open his campaign in Rome
March 26th, Saturday. No doubt
a large number of our citizens
will go over to hear him. —
Adairsville Banner.
Just byway of exploiting our
capabilities as a prophet, The
Chronicle predicts the nomina
tion of Allen D. Candler for
governor of Georgia by the pri
maries on June 6th.—Augusta
Chronicle .
“ ■ •
The anti-Candler speakers are
hoarse from screeching their ob
jections to an early primary.
They blame Col. Candler for
this alleged injustice, when in
fact they should be visiting
their anathemas upon Governor
Atkinson, for had the governor
hastened home from Mevico his
men could have been in the
field earlier.
The orator who can’t present
his views to the people in three
months is not much of a hustler
From now until the 6th of June
will give ample time for the
wrangle and for the orator to
«locute.—Americus Times-Re
corder.
I The Griffin News closes a
three-quarter column tirade
against Col. Candler by asking
this question:
“But if Col. Candler dare not
meet his own party opponents,
what will he do in case he
should be nominated and have
to meet Tom Watson?
Col. Candler has answered
fully, bravely, and to the satis
faction of every man who has
the good of the Democratic par
ty at heart—no matter waich
side of Mason and Dixon’s he
was born.
The Griffin News is the daily
paper that, early after W. Y.
Atkinson’s return from his Sun
day bull fights, made slighting
remarks about Allen D. Can
dler having but one eye.
The state committee which
convened in Atlanta Thursday
was a live exponent of the Dem
ocratic party. The committee
on resolutions as follows : Bov
kin Wright, chaiiman; O. 11.
P. Bloodworth, A. A. Lawrence,
Richard Hobbs, D. N. C. Burk
halter, R. M. Martin, S. P.
Maddox and Milton P. Reese,
rendered a majority report de
claring that it was the sense of
the committee that no joint de
bates between Democrats be
held during the campaign. They
said th a joint debates create
differences in the party. —Amer-
icus Times-Recorder.
The Macon Telegraph’s report
of Judge Atkinson’s opening
speech in Hawkinsville Satur
day, says that from 800 to 1,000
people heard the railroad com
missioner speak in the court
house. The Hustler-Cemmercial
can prove by every man in
Hawkinsville that a half of the
least number mentioned can’t
find standing room in said court
room. And yet the Telegraph
proposes to be ‘ ‘fair and impar
tial.”
The friends of the two stump
speakers, who, backed by the
scheming politicians, are oppos
ing our leader, /Vilen D. Candler,
for governor, are howling
“fraud” and “snap judgement”
because of an eerly primary.
And yet these “champion stump
speakers”were on the stump be
fore Col. Candler. Consistency
is a stranger to this gang of
beautiful howlers.
The people of Georgia are not
exceptions to the rule. They ad
mire eloquence. This is as
true now as it was in the cam
paign when Allen D. Candler
snowed Emory Speer, under in
the old Ninth, bringing that
district back to Democracy.
Enjoying eloquence is one thing,
choosing public servants is an
other. The people will elect
Candler. Mark that prediction.
The Herald does not approve
of the joint debate in a party
primary campaign. It is a means
ot accentuating differences and
fomenting strife rather than
settling issues or convincing and
converting voters.—Albany
Herald.
The stump-speaking politi
ticians, shrewd though they be,
will have to “draw” their own
crowds. Your Uncle Allen will
tote his own skillet—He Has al
ways given the people a good
show. He will continue to do
so. Let the schemers rave.
Were it not for the Passaic
and the Jekyl Island Club,
Brunswick would be at the mer
cy of the enemy.—Waycross
Herald.
While the Spaniard is blow
ing the bottom out of American
ironclads, Americans are blow
ing the tops off of schooners.
Another Bock, please.
A MUD'S EYE VIEW,
Bro. Byrd, of The Hustler-
Commercial, says his motto is
the very best paper ha can gel
out every day in the week, .and
he is living up to it, too. The
wonderful improvement in The
Hustler of Rome is a credit to
Rome—Adairsville Banner.

Listen for this “Buckeye”
bark to blow up.: There is a
dog near Hartford Station,

Frank Chase,of Waterville,
Maine, some years ago invented
a machine simplifying the man
ufacture of shoes. A New En
gland company purchased his
invention for SIOO,OOO cash and
gave him $2,500 for life, provid
ed he would do no more invent
ing, In a recent interview he
bitterly regrets having made
that contract.

King Humbert, of Italy, is i
the only reigning monarch of I
Europe who was ever wounded
in natlle. At Custozza, where;
the Italians were defeated by
the Austrians under Archduke
Albert, the brave young prince
threw himself again and again
into the thick of the fight and '
I
tried by personal bravery to re
trieve the lost day, until an ug
ly wound from a sabre laid him
senseless and he was borne from
the field by his soldiers.
