The efforts of some of the pa

Do you remember the stately
and impressive passage of the
$60,000,000 National Defense
Bill by the senate and house?
Well that money is being in
vested.
At last there were
thirty two candidates for the
democratic nomination for rail
road commissioner of Missouri.
Who can blame Spencer for not
resigning, down here in Georgia?
With Railroad Commissioner
Atkinson hurling epithets and
splattering personalism over
Col. Candler it would look as if
the plowboy of Pigeon Roost
knew a mud slinger before it
went into eruption.
1—
An Atlanta paper stated that
one thousand people heard Rail
road Commissioner Spencer At
kinson speak in the Sumin rville
court room. You can’t pack 300
people in that court room and
the last reports say that the
house v as “about half full.”
Editor Perham figures it out
that the Spanish flotilla will
ranch Waycross in about a week
and he is spending all of his
spare time praying sor peace.—
Americus Herald.
And where, oh where, is the
hero of the last Waycross war—
Ginneral Northern?
EITHER HORN OF THE
DILEMNI.
The Rome Tribune thus apos
trophizes Judge Spei.cer Atkin
son, the ideal candid ate for gov
ernor of Georgia: “The more
that Judge Spencer Atkinson
comes into contact with the peo
ple, the more friends and votes
he will make. He is the friend
of the people, and lies always
stood by them and their rights.
His decisions on the supreme
bench were always for the peo
ple in every instance.”
Does the Tribune mean by
this reference to the judge’s su
preme judicial acts that he has
been biased and partial to “the
people,” or are we to infer that
the corporations have never
had a meritor ous case before
him while on the bench?
Without some sort of qualifi
cation from the Tribune of its
sweeping claim, one is at liberty
to take either horn of the dilema.
—Atlanta Commercial.
A partisan cannot criticise in
justice and fairness. For that
reason, if for no other, The Tel
egraph sets its face against per
sonal partisanship in primary
cont3stß. —Maeon Telegraph.
That it, fine sentiment coming
fiom the leading advocate of re
publican sentiment among the
Georgia newspapers. The Tele
graph is a beauty. It packed
from 800 to 1,000 people in the
Hawkinsville court house to
hear Railroad Commissioner
Atkinson’s opening speech. The
fact being, the court house will
not hold 400 people and that
there was room for more than
100 more than were in his audi
ence.
Fully ninety per cent of the
newspapers of the state have en
dorsed early primaries. Hera is
another endorsement from the
Telfair Enterprise, an Atkinson
supporter: “We heartily com
mend the state democratic com
mittee’s action in calling pri
maries for the election of dele
gates to the state convention to
nominate a governor and state
house officers. A long contest for
party nominations is very un
wise, we think ; better get in
trim to fight the party enemies,
instead of an all summer’s fight
inside party ranks.”
Joint debates between Demo
crats for the same office are pro
ductive of no good to the party.
They stir up strife and bad feel
ing among the different factions
of the party, and disturb Demo
cratic harmony. There is nei
ther wisdom nor prudenoe in a
family row, and in many in
stances the breaches made du
ring a bitter factional fight are
not healed before the general
election. —Cedartown Standard.
Our neighboring city up the
W. &A. railroad, Calhoun,
voted to issue $12,500 in water
works bonds last Saturday by a
very decisive majority. The vote
stood 128 for bonds and only G
against. That is the way to get
together when it comes to ad
vancing the best interests of
your city.—Cartersville Con

The Atlanta Journal a few
days ago was “kicking” vigor
ously against June 6th being
too early for the state primary,
but is now ardently defending
April 21st, as the date for the
congressional primary in Fulton

Anyhow, joint debate or no joint

good one, when the time is ripe
and the spirit moves him, —Al-

A few’of the an-ti Candler pa
pers are dividing their time
about evenly between war news,
pleading for fair play in the gu
bernatorial contest and—abus
ing their next governor, Allen
D. Candler.
Allen Candler’s attack on the
negroes of Georgia was uncalled
for and will only serve to divorce
him farther from the gubernato
rial chair.— Brunswick Call.
Allen D. Candler made no at
tack on the negroes. Let the Call
quote from the speech and estab
lish its statement —if it can. All
that Col. Candler said about the
purchasab’e vote, of black or
white, was true, and is condemned
by all t'onest men. Does the Call
propose to defend?
There is no possible way in
which the administration can
more clearly show its thorough
belief in the accuracy of the
court of inquiiy’s report as to the
nature and cause of the Maine
disaster than by at once giving
Captain Sigsbee ti e command of
another man-of-war. If the report
a synopsis of which we print this
morning, be correct, Captain Sigs
bee is no more to blame for the
loss of the ships than Secretary
of the Navy Long is, and as he is
an officer with a splendid record,
he ought to be detail' d again for
active duty at sea as soon «s
ever be has had a brief rest from
his recent hard work and painfu'
trials. — New Orleans Times Dem

Anyone who knows anything,

kinson’s challenge so fully and
so c unpletely that Spencer
promptly went mad—lienee the

One thing seems certain —that.

Col. Candler is a fine speaker,
this cannot, be denied, hut he read
his speech hi Rome because it. had
been furnished to the “me-too’s’

Now this is a fair specimin of
