DEADLIER THAN BEFORE
The superiority of the Dum-
Dum bullet as a death-dealing
missile o v er all other modern
bullets is attracting wide spread
attention in Europe since its
adoption by the British army,
and the discussion has reached
this country.
It is noticeable that in the
struggle to produce a rifle with
the longest and most accurate
range the diameter of the bullet
has been gradually reduced. To
I give penetrating power and
more accurate flight the sub
stance of outer coating has been
made harder, until in the British
army the pencil-like metalcoated
Lee-Metford, bullet, with a
diameter of a little more than a
third of an inch, has been
evolved.
This bullet at short range
mi ay produce terrible effects if
it strikes a hard bone, but passes
clean through soft parts without
causing any material shock to
the system. It thus allows a
wounded man to charge home,
and has consequently been found
to be ineffective in stopping
rushes of desperate and deter
mined fighters.
To end this difficulty the
Dum-Dum bullet was introduced
into England’s armies. It is pre
cisely similar to the Lee-Metford
bullet, except that the cupro
nickel covering is not continued
over its pointed end.
The consequence that when it
comes into contact with the body
the softer lead and antimony
core which is exposed “sets up”
into a broader mushroom-like
end and inflicts a more tearing
wound than the hard metal
coated point of the Lee-Metford
bullet.
When next two great armies,
well equipped and well trained,
confronteacli other, the horrible
possibilities of slaughter fiom
rapid fire, accurate aim and de
structive bullets may actually
prevent battle and reduce a
campaign to a game of maneuv
ering, in which the side placed
at a disadvantage will admit de
feat.

A portrait of General Albert

tograph which was taken in
San Francisco, when Johnson
was a colonel in the United

place. He is represented in the
painting as wearing the uniform
of a Confederate General, and
the work is a faithful likeness
of the man as he appeared two
years before his death at the
Battle of Shiloh. *
The Atlanta Constitution is
very much stirred up because
Judge Atkinson and Mr. Berner
met in Mm <»d and had a friendly
conversnt'on. Did the Constitution

Scarcely -but the Constitution
has warned the public of the anti-
Cand'er gold-brick schemers, the
lovely young pair who sought the
dark sheth s of night in the gloom
of a goldbng sanctum where they
might lay plans by which they
could mail ipu I ate pai ty machinery
ai.d thwart the will of the masses
in c< mpoesing the defeat of the
peoples choice, Albn D Candler.
Ibe Constitution is enterprising
and honest. The anti-Candlerites
are enterpris'ng.

The Augusta Herald says: “The
contest lor the Deniperatic guber
natorial nomination seems now to
be between Judge Atkinson and
Senator Berner. His two oppo
nents a'ready seem to have dis
tanced Col. Candler and reports
indicate that Col. Candler is
losing strength thoroughout the
State rapidly.”—Griffin News.
And yet, Bob and Spence are
diseovered holding secret mid
night caucuses in the cilices of the
Macon Telegraph, and while they
persist in aj int debate with Col.
Candler they refuse to meet each
other oi. the stump The anti-Uan
dler organs seem to think the
common people are tools—if they
exist—and that the uncommon
people are lunatics.

The public is waiting to see a
joint debate between Messrs. At
kinson and Berner. One was ar
ranged between thorn at Columbus
but it has not been pulled off.
These gentlemen met at the office
of the Macon Telegraph hist week
and held a consultation. Possibly
th y were arranging a joint diacus
sion but if po the public has net
been apprised of it. If the debates
w<-re so necessary. why do not
these gen'lemen enter upon the
“series of j tint debates” arranged
between them. —Walton News.
Concerning the “accidental”
meeting of Messrs Atkinson and
Berner in the Telegraph office
the Savannah News has this
political note: “Judge Spencer
R. Atkinson and Senator Robert
L. Berner held a long conference
in the editorial rooms of the
Macon Telegraph Thursday
night, and while the result is
not definitely known, it may
safely be stated that no agree
-ment was reached touching anv
radical change in their present
program. Neither had anything
to say for publication at the
conclusion of their labors, except
that they had met by the merest
accident. At the same-time the
prevailing opinion is that both
Judge Atkinson and Senator
Berner will continue their tour
of the state speaking every day
on their former lines, and de
pending upon their united efforts
to keep Col Candler from get
ting a majority of votes in the
convention.
The “Texas” may have her

The flying squadron has no

that the squadron is off for trial

HOW THE COMMITTEE
STOOD.
“In the Seventh district con
gressional convention held in
Rome last Saturday, the Candler j
men declared that it would be
impossible to get out a full vote
for the farmers in this section
of Georgia on June 6th. They
.will be too busy then. It was
announced that Walker county
in this district did not expect to
hold any primary on that date.”
The above is quoted from the
morning paper. It is a fact that
three committeemen, represent
ing two counties, were opposed
to the early congressional pri
mary. They were Candler men.
It is also true that all other
speakers, with one exception,
or in other words, all the rest of
the committeemen, with possi
bly one exception, were Candler
men. Let all the facts appear
The Candler tide sweeps on to

It is bad enough for a Demo

rooms, is nothing less than par

Because Col. Candler’s friends
brought to light that midnight
conference of the anti-Candler
“running mates,” the Macon
Telegraph is charging Co). Can
dler with another mistake. And
the Telegraph is pure in heart,
so truly Democratic and so
“fair and impartial. ”
Judge Atkinson’s “running
mate.” Mr. Berner, doesn’t
seem to be setting the rivers
afire with his eloquence these
days. The trouble about the
matter is that the peopl don’t
propose to elect a man governor
