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.
Mr. G. R. Hutchens may be
smart enough to go to congress
but when he goes into the card
wilting business, he takes a
poor method to prove it.
That was a terrible “accident”
to the aspirations of the“smooth”
politicians of Georgia when the
booms of Atkinson and Berner
crashed together in the head
quarters of the bushwhacker’s
camp in Macon last Thursday—
midnight.
No, Jane, dear, “it would not
be right for Governor Atkinson
to order the national guard t of
the state of Georgia to Cuba.”
Only one man can issue orders
for that invasion of Cuba by
American troops and Governor
Atkinson is not that man.

The “war news” that Spencer
and Bob went to the Macon Tele
graph’s office for last Thursday
n’ght was not of the Spanish
brand, except that it was bush
whacking and treacherous—the
boys were trying to arrange
some way by which they could
force the old warrior to tie to
the mine buoy they had assigned
him.
A VERY MEAN FLING.
•
Th re was never a meaner fling
by one candidate at another than
that made by Col. Candler in his
Dalton speech last Monday when
be referred to Judge Atkinson as
the “Kimball House candidate.”
As a matter of fact, Candler is the
only candidate in the race who
has his political headquarters
at the Kimball House. Although
the lessees tendered Judge Atkin
son rooms in this hotel rent free
durii.g the campaign, he declined
the offer. He is occupying a room
in one of the numerous office
buildings in Atlanta, paying the
rent out of bis own pocket.
His J campaign manage
ment is not in the hands of pol
it cians. hut is being conducted
by his brother, Hon Sam C. At
k.iiaoD. and his cousin, HoiF. Har
ry F. L'unwoody. So much for
ihe tru h of the charge■
that “Judge Atkinson is the Kim
ball House candidate.’ —Newman
Herald.
The people of Rome will re
member that the Newman Herald
is one of the papers that Col
Candler so pleasantly but force
fully alluded to in his Rome speech.
It is edited by State Librarian
Brown, and had many nice things
to say about Col. Candler during
the latter days of Governor Atkin
son’s visit to Mexico.
The Herald knows that Col.
Candler’s hea iquarters is iu
Gainesville.
It knows that the Kimball
house headquaraters are kept open
by the league of Candler clubs.
The Railroad Commissioner’s
refusing the “rent-fiee” off-r
made by the Kimball bouse les
sees is about the first free thing
that Judge Atkinson has refused
jn this campaign. As to his pay
pig his office rent out of his own
pocket Col. Candler has made no
ch arge to the coatray.
On the other hand, C >l. Can
dler has very plainly said
that Spencer’s salary is coming
out of the pockets of the people
and is one of the leaks that ought
to be stoped —that Railroad Com
missioner Atkinson is either neg
lecting his duty or has no duty to
neglect and the $2500 a year
should be cut off.
As to Hon. Sam Atkinson
and S< nalor Harry Duuwoody
not being politicians, the joke in
the statement is broad enough to
make a cigar store Indian dum
my smile out loud
As a mean flinger, the. Newman
Herald knows how to make “A
Very Mean Fling. ” There aie
others.
(By wire) —Dear Spencer:
“We have been discovered. What
shall we do. Answer.”
Bob.
(Same date) —Friend Bob:
“Do like Bill wired Joe from the
Sunday bull fight. “Set steady
in the boat”—until some of our
scouts can find a man who will
betray another letter. You have
nothing to loose.” I am still
Unresigned
Spencer.
Upon the discovery of the
midnight consultation of the
anti-Candler “running mates”
Spencer is supposed to have
wired : “Dear Bob : Remember
Bill’s Mexican instructions to
loe, ‘sit’steady in the boat.’ You
have nothing to loose—but your
voice. lam living up to Sam
Jones’ advice —drawing my
campaign fund from the pockets
of the tax pay ers to the tune of
about $8 a day, also riding over
the state on the free passes of a
railroad commissioner, and ad
vertising my law business in
my own way. Meet me in the
Macon Telegraph office next
Thursday—at midnight We!
must arrange for a joint debate
1 think if we ha\e one our an
cient friend from Hall will fall
dead. We could then win—and
divide the offices, etc.
With deep solicitude,
Spencer. ”
fl BYRD’S EYE VIEW.
Col. Candler is right. Either
Spencer Atkinson is neglecting
the duties of his office, or there
are no duties attached to the of
fice. If the first, Spencer is un
worthy of promotion ; if the sec
ond, why not stop a leak by sav
ing some of that $2,500 salary.
—Dalton Argus.

correctly stated their relative

The Macon correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution tells
his paper of a conference held in
this city on Thursday night be
tween Judge Atkinson and Hon.
R L. Berner. The conference is
said to have been held in the
Macon Telegraph’s office. No
more appropriate place could be
found for the signing of articles
of agreement for a joint debate.
The Telegraph’s “neutrality”
entitles it to the confidence of
I
the two opposition candidates.
But of no one else.—Macon
News.

Will Editor Byrd please in
form the public why he attacks
the governor with so much ven
om? The state at large may or
may not have just cause to criti
cise Governor Atkinson for ele
vating Phill to the office of In
spector of misdemeanor convict
camps, bur. certain it is, that
Phill ought not to condemn the
executive for so doing.—Meri
wether Vindicator.
’The above’is in keeping with
the “line of argument” advanc
ed by the “weaklies” so pleas
antly' all'fided toby Col.. Candler
in his Rome speech. When such
a statement is advanced by Gov.
Atkinson, direct, then I will un
dertake to answer—not until
then. As to the state’s criticism
etc., I refer the partisan editor
of the Vindicator, not to the al
most universal commendation
of the state press, but to his own
complimentary notices—notices
for which I was very grateful.
My report went in, was approv
ed by the governor and endorsed
by the action of the legislature,
and the reforms so terribly need
ed are being worked. I tried to
do my duty, and if the Vindica
tor is not satisfied with the re
sults, it should not have been so
complimentary just after my
w rk was finished. On with the
the dance.- •*
r l he Telegraph has been read
ing lectures to the fearless pa
pers exf Georgia tliat have dared
to stand by brave okL- Allen D.
Candler and denounce “trick
sters,” “traders,” “traffickers”
in the democratic party. Will
the Telegraph tell us if Spencer
and Bob—the anti-Candler “run
ning mates” held their last mid
night caucus in its office bv
invitation? Will the Telegraph
also tell us why its columns neg-
Iscted to give an account of such
a “significant” meeting?

Questions” wi'l it kindly publish

Hii d-'ome Bob dont feel called
upon to write any letters to your
Uncle A lien,
The hande are the hands of
McKinley, but the voice is the
voice of Hanna, Augusta Her

however.
t
Perhaps, after all, Atkinson and
Berner met in the Maccu Tele
graph office to arrange terms of a
joint debate.
Os c urse Spence and Bob “just
happened” to .neet in the editorial
rooms of the Macon Telegraph,
last Thursday night.
From 'he number of war vessels
she is sendiifg in this direction,
Spain evidently proposes to dictate
peace at her own terms.
April showers and not an
Easter frost played havoc with
the average woman’s hope that
blooms in the spring—yester
day.
From r<cent reports the
minority pt Muscogee democrats
were exceedingly anxious about
that joint debate which Burner
and Atkinson were so brash in
agreeing to some Weeks ago .
It is a notable fact that Colonel
Candler has held his own without
coming off second best in any of
the little newspaper tiffs that
have been precipitated among the
candidates.—Augusta Chronicle.
In meeting in the sanctum
sanctorum of the Macon Telegraph
Spencer and Bob thought t' ey
were holding their consultation so
far out of the Democratic party
that no Candler man would ever
discover them.
Mrs. Nobles was saved‘'because
she was an idiotic old w:man.”
Gus Fambles, her negro tool, was
saved becau ehe was a tool of
such a creature. This beautiful
pair of red-handed murderers owe
their escape to the cowardice of
politicians.
Hon. J. Pope Browu, chairman
of the Candler club in Pulaski
county,and member of the Central
Caedler committee, was in the
city yesterday mingling among his
friends. Mr. Brjwn declares, that
there is no doubt of his section of
the state going for Candler
Macon News.
Two against one has nev- r been
rated a fair game. Il would Oe
idle to deny that this is being
made on Colonel Candler, Judge
Atk nson and Speaker Berner roar
against each o her as sucking dov
es. I'heir united strength is exer
ted against Colouel Candler —Au
rnsta Chronicle.
There were just three hu idr«d
and fifty people to hear Col. Can
dler at Dalton.—Augusta Herald.
And on the same date and in
the same neck of the woods at
Cedartown—scarcely one hurdred
and fifty heard Railroad Commis
sioner Atkinsjn. To say nothing
of the frost that met Spenc ir in
Calhoun a day or so 1 ater.
Compared with other large
dailies in the state;-' the Atlanta
Constitution has been decid«ly
more impartial in the gubernato
rial contest than any of the self
styled “fair and impartial”papprs,
It has refl cted the real sentiment
of rhe press of the state—and in
doing so has shown the everwhel
ming expression in favor of Allen
D. Candler. The Constitution is!
big enough to give the facts. To'
the Journal and Telegraph belongs
the role of distorting the reflec
tion of public sen'iment.
