“People of Georgia believe in
fairness. It is not fair for two,
candidates to combine against
one. And yet that is being done.
A supporter of Atkinson for gov
ernor in Elberton said a few days
ago that he would see to it that '
there would be no Atkinson
tickets voted if Berner had a
<
show to carry the county, no
Berner tickets were cast if At
kinson had the best chance of
defeating Candler.
In Elbert county we believe ,
Candler will double the combine
vote of bcth his opponents, but l
in some close counties the
friends of the two Dromios may
be able by similiar methods to
defeat the champion of lower
taxes, the exponent of honest
politics and clean methods, and '
a believer in a fair fight.”—El

STAND BY THE OLD SOLDIER
Despite a morbid sentiment 1
existing in some quarters antag- 1
oulstic to any further recogni- 1
tion of the claims of the old con
federate veterans, it is not reas
onable to believe that the time
lias yet arrived when the people
of Georgia will defeat a man
simply because he is a veteran
If he is capable and worthy,
can there be any good reason
why the old soldier should be
relegated. Is he to be proscribed
now becuuse he has a few grey
hairSj a scar here and there, and
i record for loyalty and courage
in the days of his county’s need?
Surely we can accord him fair
treatment, at least, and refrain
from assailing him on the sple
score that the war is over.—

MISS FIELD'S HISTORY
ADOPTED.
The board of education of
Lampkin county has unani
mously' adopted Miss A. L.
Field’s grammar history of the
United States for use in the
common schools. The course was
adopted after careful examina
tion of all the other school his
tories. It is an honest conpli
menl to the author, who is a
native of Dahlonega and an up
to-date teacher, occupying a
prominent place in the faculty
of the Agnes Scott institute.—

Most of those who profess to
have been turned away from Col
onel Candler by that Rome letter
would have opposed him had it
never been written. We suspect,
indeed, that this resentment of
his language is largely due to the
fact that they are conscious of in
tending to practice upon him

According to the State Auditor
of North Carolina more money
was paid to the employes of the
State Senate at its late session
than was paid to the Senators
themselves. One of the State papers
says that even the latter were
overpaid.

The first duel know to have
taken place upon Ameaican soil
occurred in 1630, when Edward

Neither was seriously injured,

La j Union Constitucional, a
Havana paper, tells its readeis
that the Americans are “a
people who have come into
possesssion of an extensive ter
ritory through extermination of
the aborigines,” and that “they
are industrious because of lack
of charitable feeling, for all
starve in the United States who
become penniless.” The sneer
abojut the “exterminotion of the
aborigines,” conning from a
Spaniard in Cuba, seems to be
another case of the pot calling
the kettle black.

Owing to the prejudice of the
Chinese against railroads, great
difficulty has been experienced
in the laying out of the line be
tween 1\ king and Hankow, The
route is very circuitous, and the
surveyors spent several months
in locating and driving the nec
essary stakes. When they at
tempted to go nver the line a
second time for the purpose of
making certain changes they
found that every one of the
stakes had been carefully remov
ed and every other land mark
obliterated. The governor of the
province thereupon issued an
edict prohibiting further inter
ference with the surveyors under
penalty of death, and two-thirds
of the work had to be done over)
again. '
‘ THE HONOR OF SPAIN.”

Comes a c am ir and a knell
That of Alva ti-rce doth tell;
Loud ’he peaceful burghers groan,

Fire ami sword, and tears, and pain,
Mark the honor of old Spain.
From the Inqulsii ion’s tack,
Down the bigot's bloody tiaok,
Countless ghosts that shriek and quake
Tell of knife and cord ano stake.
Darkest hour that laud e'er knew.
In His i ame tney racked and slew;
By the blazing stake so plain
Read the honor of old Spain.
On the burning soil they lie.
Gasping things that sob and die;
Forms that scarce a shadow cast,
Men fr< m whom we shrink aghast,
Mothers, babes, In living death
Struggling for the tieeiog breath,
In starvation's awful train,
Great.the honor of old Spain I

Major Joseph B. Cumming, of
Augusta, Ga., said in the course of
an address recently delivered at
Savannah that he was at a loss to
understand the mad passkn of
the Souinern people to be called
colonel. “It is a form of mild
dementia.” he asserted, “sinking
to the grade of imbecility and
idiocy. It baffles explanation.” It
is evident that Major Cumming
does not contemplate participation
in the politics of his State.
