When Spain runs against Un cle Sam’s flag staff she will see lots of stars. With Hawaii over 2,000 miles away this government will go too far when it annexes it. < Spain’s national debt, inclu ding arrears and defaulted payments, is over two billion dollars. Incase of war and McKinley decides to raise a negro army of invasion, will he make a color ed colonel out of Mark Hanna? The dogs of war when let slip will get a tough bone if they have to dine on a Spanish jaw bone. 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. * * * This joke is going the rounds ; have you heard it? If Missouri should steal Mississippi’s New .Jersey, what would Delaware Alaska? Alaska. *** Listen for this “Buckeye” bark to blow up.: There is a dog near Hartford Station, Ohio, that is in a precarious condition, lie swallowed six sticks of dynamite, and they have tied him out in the woods to await developments. * ■* 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.
