GLENN, of Bibb. ■ ~~ “Fall In I” R “Dam the Etowah !” ‘•Fall In—Fall In 1 ! ” ■ Col. Candler has written again Savannah gets the next Bap tist convention. Spencer Atkinson now wishes he hadn’t written. • Twelve hundred buttermakers are to meet in Kansas next month. LA Railroad Commissioner Atkin- I son realizes thatjhe has written | two letters many. And Your Uncle Allen tells Spencer a few things about the betrayal of personal letters. No wonder the anti-Candler ites are anxious for Col. Candler to quit writing letters. Mrs. Myrick observes that the Macon Telegraph has confessed to political santification, Bob Berner continues to howl. Bob is a lulu when it comes to pawing dirt and bellowing. Occasionally Col . Candler may make a mistake in who he writes to —but never in what he writes. Railroad Commissioner Atkin son has heard from his “vener able friend from Hall’’ once more. Mr. Berner is still looked upon as the goldbug candidate for governor of Georgia. Lee County Journal. Col. Candler’s last letter to Railroad Commissioner Atkin son, like his first one, complete ly answered him. The Augusta Chronicle says: Judge Atkinson should bear in mind that whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Cloves often savor the spice of wickedness. A man may be fast asleep but rather slow when awake. The counterfeit coin may be bad, but it’s hard to push. The more people talk back the better the auctioneer likes it. The roll-top desk may often cover a multitude of disorder. Masked balls are the only kind that goes in a prohibition town. A pretty girl says the power of the press is usually waist-ed. The dollar you pay looks twice as large as the one you borrow ed. When the pianist makes the’ instrument fairly talk it is call ed a piano recital. What a happy world this would be if we could only see others as we see ourselves! Opportunities are sensitive and if slighted on their first vis it they seldom call again. It is easier to get the average man to lend a hand that it is to get him to lend a $5 bill. Perhaps the reason some peo ple make much of their little troubles is because they fear they may never have any great ones.—Chicago news. The discoverers of Tom Hight’s letter must be growing jealous of the discoverers of the Max Meyer hardt letter. The Tom Hight dis cussion seems about lost in the shuffle. Col. Candler spoke at Dalton | today. Whitfield county, like all l north Georgia and more than half of middle and south Georgia is sold for the “Plowboy of Pigeon Roost. ” The “frog journals” delight in handling the “warm stuff” that Railroad Commissioner Atkin son aims at your Uncle Allen but when Col. Candler fires back real “hot stuff'” then they quit the drive. ■ ■ It is a matter of regret that President Pollock, of the Mercer university, did not attend the convention. However, he has been mentioned frequently enough by other speakers to be pretty well known.—Augusta Chronicle. Col. Candler probably found Judge Atkinson’s letter “open” enough for him.—Augusta Her ald. He did. Now w ill the discover er of the Tom Hight letter “open” its columns to Col. Can dler’s reply. It would be amusing were it not so disgusting, the way the anti-Candlerite’s papers under took to color Col. Candler’s let ter to Railroad Commissioner Atkinson, in their introduction of said leter. In its heading the Macon Telegraph states that Col. Candler “calls Berner and Atkinson his ‘Runningmates.’ ” Its funny that even the Macon Telegraph in all its alleged “fair and impartial” can’t tell the truth when quoting Co!. Can dler. By all means the United States government should pur chase the three islands of the Danish West Indies—St. Thomas St. Croix and St. John. We need coaling stations and the sooner we possess them the better. We need these islands much worse chan we need Hawaii. Go to J. K. Williamson for anything and everything in the jewelry line. NO H. S “ROM BILLVILLE The situation is exceedingly grave. Angry crowds are parad ing the streets, and the Spanish ■tobacco man has closed his shop and is making his will. The Billville Guards, having no guns, are temporarily march ing with broomsticks. In case of war they will make a clean sweep. All tne moonshiners in jail have offered to join the army if the government will just let ’em out. There are now seventeen pri vates in the Billville regiment, This leaves only thirty colonels. ‘ Spain says we don’t give her rope enough. If she’ll come to ! Billville we’ll supply the defi- • ciency. In case of war we’ll have to get used to water. It, 11 come hard to the old colonels, but there’s no help for i . —F. L. 8., n Atlanta Constitution. Germany is for Spain—like a duck is for a june bug. Net even yet are the horrors of the Dreyfus case ended. Zola is to make a lecture tour through this country. Every indication points to the election of Allen D. Candler as governor of Georgia.—Macon County Citizen. Some Spaniards are in luck. For instance, those who threat ened to invade Texas and after ward landed in a Mexican jail. Brann met a brave man in Texas and is dead. Stein sat for the Berry season, got a bottle of Kimball house ketchup and still lives. My ! But don’t Judge Atkinson write a breezy letter? That man can “sling ink!” Hit him again, “Uncle Allen I”—Pavo Herald. And Uncle Allen donehit again.” European Powers will not aid Spain in a war with his country. They cannot afford to indorse the international crime of the Maine’s treacherous destruction in Havana harbor. The rumor that John Sherman has resigned is always kept in type these times, ready for daily use. Not so with the rumor about Railroad Commissioner Atkinson’s resignation. You can’t fool the average Georgia editor. If the Sioux Indians have put their war paint onto fight Spain it may be the part of wisdom for Uncle Sam to place his wards at the front of the army of invasion in Cuba, for when an Indian gets ready tn fight, we hive learned in this country, he doesn’t become peaceful until he has had enough of war. Judge Atkinson’s fair, frank and open letter to Col. Candler criticising him for not meeting him in joint debate and telling him how he is going to attack his record on the stump, was in great contrast to some of the other dodging and evasive epis tles which have characterized this campaign.—Columbus Her ald. Os course the Herald does not intend to intimate that your Uncle Alley did any “dodging” or wrote anything “evasive.” Even the railroad commissioner will bear witness to the contrary. It is said that Chicago people ( have offered $7,000,000 for the , plant and franchise of the Wash ington (D. C.) Gas Light Com pany. , . In the election of Hon Fleming dußgnou as chairman of the state executive committee thedemocrats have made a wise selection, and i s chairman he wdl refl 'ct credit upon the party.—Scheley County News. 000 Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder, has gone to Russia to secure part of that $70,000,000 which the government of th t country has'determined to inve t in war ships. Ca>p ought to • ■ kept busy building ships for Unc e ( sam for the next few years. o o o Berner and Atkinson are mak ing the welkin ring all over the * state, but Uncle Allen is sitting > steadilyjn the boat which is not ’ in the least disturbed by the rip ples that are being made by his opponents, —Oglethrope Echo. o o o The Americus Times Recorder aye it has forgotten and must re fer to Editor Gleasnerffor the d»- sired information: Was Senator Berner in at'endance upon the Griffin “silver” convention in 1895? and is not, why not? 000 The announcement is made that the Sparta Ishmaelite his been purchas-d by Mr T. C. Moore, formerly its business man ager. Mr. Sid Lewis, the former editor, will continue to do the editorial work on the paper. It has been changed to an eight-page five-column instead of its former size. o o o Col. Candler is no longer a hol der of office, and is now free to go on a hunt for votes. And his hunt will doubtless take in every cor ner of the state.— Albany Herald. 000 Jerry Simpson made a bull’s eye when he called the Republicans in the house “Reed’s reconcei;- trados. ” 000 A new method of fasting spokes in wagon wheels consists of set ting a screw-headed bolt in the end of the spoke, with a nut coun tersunk ih the felly which can be turned to adjust the felly to fit the tire. 000 It will be noticed that' while Colonel Candler resigns his office of Secretary of State with a great flourish of trumpets, he docs not give the slightest intimation of resigning the greater office of the Gainsville, Jefferson and Southern railroad —Griffin News. The above fling is worthy the source from which it eminateil. It will be remembered that Edit r Glessner poked fun at Col Can dler’s having but one eye, early in the camoaign. But then, Col. Candler cares bu' little for the bushwhacker. WOO One of Candler’s chief fuglers, being asked when his candidate would answer Judge Atkinson’s last letter, said that he would answer it when they got into a joint debate. Being asked then if there was any prospect of Candler getting into a joint debate, he said there was not. —Griffin News. Now the answer has come will Editor Glessner the chief “fuglei” of Railroad Commissioner Atkin son’s “running mate” dare to publish it? He skacelv will dare.
