Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber Senator Phill Cook is a sure winner. Mark that prediction. The '‘fair and impartial” At- I Junta Journal seems to have lost I it’s Samuel Pea Jay Buncomb I boomlet. The Bibb county populists say 1 they will act with democratic I primaries and abide the result, i Bib’ ’s populists are setting the brethren in other counties a f good example. The “Yellow Journals” made l the Shawneetown levee break, a I disaster in which 400 people | perished. The real facts show j that about 20 unfortunates were r drowned. Judging from the manner in I which the Savannah Naval Re [ serves obeyed their officers Mon day night, it will be interesting to note how they will follow in struc'ions in battle.—Brunswick Times. Atlanta murderers seem to have away of doing their bloody work and never being caught. That “shrouded in mystery” covers up the transaction com pletely. Atlanta detectives ought to take off the “shroud.” —Ma- rietta Journal. WARM EDITORIAL REMARKS. Gov. Taylor's D**xt lecture will be entitled “The Exercise of the Pardoning Power, or Why Satn Jones is at Liberty?’—Jackson Whig. A Madrid paper thinks Spain could plant her soldiers in Fin id. The word plant is a good one, and suggests permanent residence under the daisies. —Galveston News. Five hundred Chippewa Indians have asked toe government to find a place for them in the event of war. Here’s a hair raising feature which should net be ov< rlcoked. — Chicago Times-Herald. The proposed Irdu-trial Con vention should meet the approval and receive the aid of every patri otic citizen in the stale. —Savan- nah Courier. If any of our battleships should be sunk by the Spani-.ds torpedo boat, now crossing the Atlantic several remarks will be made about national hindsight.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. In reference to that $50,000,000 appropriation, some congressman calk like individuals who have paid their way into a prize fight and are becoming impatient over the ring side preliminaries. — Washington Post. The Rev. Sam Jones, of Georgh, will kindly notice as he passes through the state that Texas is raising more wheat and less of the other than formerly,—Galves ton News, Fitzhug Lee, who is sitting on the powder can, does not get so ex cited as some of the warriors who ares iffing the battle at a ranj.e f s.iveraj hundred miles, —Pittsburg Times. BEST THE STATE EVER HAD Allen D. Candler’s political record is above reproach. Through a long life of public service he has been sound, faith ful and loyal. The people can place him in the governor’s chair with fu’ Jissurance that the same loyalty, fidelity and sound ness that have characterized hi> past life will make him one of the best governors Georgia ever had.—Mcßae Yeoman. A Candler club of more than 1,000 voters has been organized in Columbus. There are others —Dawson News. The Forsyth Chronicle is a daisy when it goes into the inuendo business. A word of advice to Spiwn. Do not touch Gen. Lee. The people have borne your treach ery in many ways but treachery towards Lee would mean not war with Spain but Spanish ex termination . —Americus Her ald. Justice has again miscarried. Mrs. Nobles and her negro con federate have had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. The murder of old man Nobles was as dastard ly a crime as was ever perpetra ted in Georgia.—Dawson News. Col, Candler announces that he will write no more letters during the present campaign. A good many people think the colonel has already written one too many.—Valdosta Times, Oh, we don’t know, they are not so many. Spencer and all his crowd make only a few. Messrs. Candler and Atkinson have been passing some saucy letters. From an impartial stand point it looks as though the lat ter had the best of the contro versy.—Liberty County Herald. The Herald will doubtless re vise its remarks since Col. Can dler’s last letter—unless its “im partial” is of the same brand of the Macon Telegraph an! the Atlanta Journal. a RIFITS EYE VIEW. “If there is to be war, says a North Carolinian, “they tell me that the government will call out the regular armv first; then the militia is to be called, and after this rhe Baptists, because they can light on water and Methodists can’t. I have went right straight and joined the Methodists !”.—Marietta Jour nal. * « * The New York Herald prints the report that it has been de cided by Mr. William K. Van derbilt that, in the event of war, he will present to the United States a battleship, to cost not less than $5,000,000. Mr. Van derbilt’s absence from New York prevented the Herald from con fiiming the rumor, though it says there are reasons for think ing there is a basis for the story. Mr. Vanderbilt’s grandfather, the old Commodore, made the government a present of a war ship worth $1,000,000 during the civil war; and it is general ly understood that the other Vanderbilts like to follow pretty closely in the footsteps of the Commodore, only doing a little more than he did. * * * Candler continues to tvrite campaign letters, but his first one stands unrivaled.—Way cross Herald. And the manner in which your crowd secured it and gave the same to the world—but then those were the methods Col. Candler denounced , and in do ing so lie has the hearty com mendation of all good men. * « * The New York Sun, ever on the alert for “funny-business” down in Dixie, has this to say of Railroad Commissioner At kinson’s gubernatorial “run ning mate,” “Handsome Bob,” of Forsyth : “Handsome Bob Berner, the youngest of the three orators and statesmen who are hunting the democratic nomination for governor of Georgia, took the stump at Swainsboro the other lay, and entranced the people of four counties by means of a long-distance telephone. The Crackers can never get their fill of eloquence, and if- there are are long-distance telephones enough in Georgia to transmit Bob’s sixteen voices, he will dif fuse gladness over a large area. It seems a little queer, however, to find an intrepid enemy of mo nopoly consenting to use an in strument which is known to have made several plutocrats. And without a long-distance telephone Handsome Bob’s voices can hit an object sixteen miles away.” Your Uncle Obe Stevens is bjund to get there in the Tagri cultural nomination. Mark that prediction. The Atkinson organs put this face upon the slim audience and cold reception extended Rail road Commissioner Atkinson at Calhoun: He spoke to an atten tive audience”and the audience’s “enthusiasm.was shown bv its attention.” The fellow who was run over by an ice wagon ex tends sympathy. The Athens Banner may be the only daily in the ninth con gressional district and it may be that the Banner will do valient service lor the railroad commis sioner candidate for governor, but the Bannar will not carry Clark county. It might be well for the papers using the “Ban ner argument” to remember that every weekly in the ninth, save one, is heartily supporting Georgia’s next governor, Allen i D. Candler. d, EDI lOR GILBERT FOR CAN DLER We regret to have to sp'it blan kets with the staunch oldCohimbus Enquinr-Suii in regard to “joint d»hatf«” betwef n dunocrata. IVe have said all along (before Colo nel Candler ope ied fie) that such a policy is inconsistent. What sense there can be m dem ocrats opposing each ot h er in de bate who indorse every plank in their nati' nal platform, is what The Hopper Ims.not us yet been able to xee. We are glad that Colonel Candler has spoken out on this line, and we hope that he will “ho'd his holt.’’ By so doing we opine that he will gain more votes than he will lose, Colonel Candler very pertinent ly it marks that wbt n all agree he can’t see what tl ere is to discuss. Our contemporary is mistaken when it asserts that this is an “cld-time practice.” Such a thing was never heard of until recent years. We notice that many of the Georgia newspapers have picked out their man for governor. Be fore our man is picked too much we hereby annou ic« our choice in the personage of Allen D Candler. —Stuart County Hopper. Allen D. Candler will receive fifty more votes in the nominat ing convention than will both of his opponents. Mark that pre diction. The Americus Herald thinks that Congressman Lewis’ chances for re-election ?row brighter every day.--Augmta Herald. The Americus Herald also prints some good Candler predictions which the “frog-journal” of Au gusta would do well to quote.
