If the King of Spain had mar ried an American heiress he might not have gone broke eo soon. The war clouds have about as much to do with the rainy spell as the dogs of war do with the howl of the “jingo.” The efforts of some of the pa pers to make Mr. Candler out a railroad and corporotion candi date fall pitifully flat.- Americus Herald. • 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 ran t. I 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 county I—Cedartown Standard. The Georgia farmer should find out from the government how much cotton will be needed for gun cotton, in the war with Spain, and then plant food crops 1 for the remainder. March c me in like a lamb and went our like—cold mutton. Wint< - ' ngers in the lap of Spring—lL,w many laps'to the mild ? Even a Spanish Armada on the Coosa, would not help dam the Etowah. ■■ ■ » —■ ..I- ■■■ The hole in the Maine is cer tainly’ large enough for the wa ter dogs of war to dive through. 'fhe Prince of Wales has taken to his bike to reduce his flesh. In the matter of falling off, his highness is getting on. President P. D. Pollock reports that tne State Educational Asso ciation will meet on Cumberland Island June 29 to July 2 inclusive There appears to be noltiing to Judge Atkinson and Senate r Berner apart if they want to have a “jint sputement ” —Albany Herald. Following the genera l trend ot the times the Rome druggists have inaugu ted a war of cut rates on patent medicines.—Sum merville News. Anyhow, joint debate or no joint debate, we all know now that Col. Candler can make a speech, and a good one, when the time is ripe and the spirit moves him, —Al- bany Herald. “Beautiful Bob” and Unre signable Spencer 1 My, my ! What a lovely pair of champion joint debaters. And yet, they don’t seem to want to meet each other. How Strange! 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 ocrat. Just as we thought the vote on barrooms resulted in an over whelming victory for prohibi tion. The era of barrooms in Butts county has passed.—Jack son Student. The summer girl with her teeth of pearl, will soon begin to chatter' Cn Tyhee’s shore, where boys galore, go down to sit and—ehat her.—Madison Advertiser. Anyone who knows anything, knows that Col. Candler answer ed Kailroad Commissioner At kinson’s challenge so fully and so c unpletely that Spencer promptly went mad—lienee the mud he flings. One thing seems certain —that. Col. Cand'er will carry Flovd countv iu the June primary ov r both his opponents. The Standard man iutervi -wed several conserva tive citizens on the situation in that cuuniy, and they unhesi tatingly a.-s rl that Cand’er has by tar a majority of the Democrats of Floyd on his side —C -dartown Standard . o o o 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’ hi advance and he wanted to stick tothi ad/anae sheets. Dalton Citizen, Now this is a fair specimin of the treatment that is being tneted out to Col. Allen D, Caulder by the auti-Candler press. The man who wrote the above knows that because of the sh inaefui tactics f misrepresentation pursued by many anti Candler papers. Col. Candler was forced to road his opening speech. The less said about this thing by the anti Cundlorites. the be l ter for i hem . o o o The International is practically the only one of the standard monthlies which is essen'iallv a traveller’s magazine. The whole makeup of the book shows this— its translations from foreign periodicals, its monthly sailing list of foreign bound steamships, the lastly and most conspicuously its “Travel Notes.” a department ful 1 of up-to-date items written in a chatty way tor the informa tion of travellers. o n o J.Sierling Morton, formerly secretary of agriculture, says, in a letter protesting against the cut ting down of evergreens for Christmas decorations, that last, year more than 20,000,000 Christ mas trees were put on th i market. o o o Einperor William, referring to the colr>r O <»f n,o (jr-rman flag, said not long ago that the black repres-nted work, the white rep resented rest und pence, and the red represented blood, which was necessary Io cement the otheJs to gfether. o o o Messrs.
