The Hustler-Commercial is the only afternoon paper in Northwest Georgia. It has the combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commercial, and is THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF The City of Rome 'The City M arshal The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, The Hustler-Commercial has the confidence of the classes and the masses—because it mer its and deserves the confidence of all its readers. Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber. There are 362,000 army rifles now in the government arsenals ready for use. Mayor Seay, we gieet you. Long may your waves beat on the shoie of prosperous Rome. A New Oceans poet s ys the war prophets aie about as reliable a» the weather prophetq. President McKinley wants to be a pacific, but h«’s afraid Congress will be too much of an insurgent for him. —Albany Herald. Many people think the negroes ought to be sent to whip Spain. Not right. When a fellow insults us, let the genuine American do the job. IVe want no cheap negro to do our fighting.—State of Dade 'Nea s. Col. Candler makes no mis takes in what he wiites, though sometimes he misses the mark when he thinks he is addressing a gentleman. Is the Bell Telephone Company headed fcr the poor house. Its to tal receipts for the fiscal year just closed were $5,130,844, while its expenses reached $971,170. leaving a net balance of only $4,169,675. Tjol ad to see a good (.company a iffir this way,—Columbus Eu- sun. “You cant down a laboring, man. Good evening, Chief Shrop shire. How is your enemy? Col. Candler has begunto name the leaks, now let the “frog-jour nals” croak and the balance of the anti-Candler press howl. Phil Cook is too busy these days shaking hands and getting over the state to make any speech es, but the roll is called up in At lanta he’ll be there.—Cochran Telegraph . Your,Uncle Allen forces the anti-Candler element to keep all of its war correspondent materi al at home. And these fake cor respondents are keeping their “yarn” mills grinding day and night. No city of ten times her size has so representative a city coun cil . Mayor J. J. Seay has a rigl t to feel proud of his council. And Rome feels proud of mayor and council and the officials selected by them hist night. If joint debates are so desirable, and so much ie to be gained by the party because of them, why don’t Judge Atkinson and Senator Remer get down to business. By all means let the two handsome candidates indulge in their pyro technic fights. Col Candler’s ab set.ee will make the discussions less interesting. Allen D. Candler, the brave old commoner, will win out, in spite of combinations of politi cal tricksters and all the out-put of all the yarn mills of all the anti-Candler press. Your Uncle Allen is one of the ’‘common people.” and is backed by the great masses—of whom he is the chosen leader. We believe ‘.hat Col. Candler did right in refusing to go into a joint discussion with Berner and Atkinson. There is no need of a discussion now, and it, would lead to hitter personal feelings, of which there already exists too much for the safety of all. Col, Candler will gain friends and votes by his wise decision, — Schley County News. Because Col. Candler speaks of the masses as “the great common people” and says they are for him why Railroad Commissioner Atkinson says there are no “com mon people” in Georgia, and the Macon Telegraph has to take np the abortive idea and defend what Mr. Atkinson says there in an edi torial. The anti-Candlerites are amusing in tLeir antics. The Hustler-Commercial extends sympathy to the two brave officers who were lost in the shuffle in the re-organization of Rome’s police force, last night. They have served the city faith fully, and have aright to feel i sore over their fate. But having made good officers they will make good citizens, Mark that prediction. It has been a long, hard strug gle, single-handed, and, though handicapped, The Hustler ci al has fought its way back to solid ground. We have no ha tred for those who betrayed us and well nigh done us to journ alistic death—but we do feel deeply grateful for the timely recognition accorded up by brave spirits that saw and dared lend succor. The Rev. W. H. Weaver, pastor of the U. B. Church, Dillsburg, Pa., recognizee the value so Chamberlaiu’s Cough Remedy and ■ does not hesitate to tell others about it, “I have used Chamber lain's Cough Remedy,” he says, : “and find it ai exce'lent medicine for colds, coughs and hoarsness.” So doee everyone who gives it a trial.
