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. IRONICAL IFS If a man is in the right he doesn’t have to get mad about it. If a woman lacks a graceful for m there are ways to make up for it.

A portrait of General Albert Sidney Johnson has been pre sented to the Confederate Bazar, of Baltimore. It is from a pho tograph which was taken in San Francisco, when Johnson was a colonel in the United States Army, stationed at that 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 j expect them to throw bricka at each oiher. Savannah Press. 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. o o o 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. o o o A ycient.fic exchange says:“The roe of the codfish contains more latent livi • g creatures than the whole population of the globe.” And they are all in a roe, too, adds the Columbus Ledger. o o o 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 “sinking spells” but she always picks shallow water and a smooth bed. The flying squadron has no picnic ahead. The statement that the squadron is off for trial practice, sounds “funny,” when •he same news report paints a pathetic picture of tearful part ings of officers and wives 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 victory. A man’s deeds live after him —so do his mortgages. It’s Spain and not Cuba that is granting an armistice. Good evening ; have you heard from the flying squadron? John W. Maddox is measuring up every meh a man and a states man . Editor Loyless suggests that Gen. Lee’s triumphal journey gives rise to the impression that the old rebel yell is greased and ready for business. ♦ Senator Bill Ennis is in the city again. Col. Ennis is making a winning race for a seat in the upper house of the next general assembly of Georgia. Uncle Sam is slow to anger —too painfully slow when hundreds of thousands of helpless Cuban wo men and children are being starved to death by Spain. John W. Maddox voted for the minori'y report. Read it for your self and compare it with ths majority report and see if “Our John” is not your representative as uiual. It is bad enough for a Demo cratic candidate to be on speak ing terms with the Macon Tele graph. but to hold a secret po litical conference in its editorial rooms, is nothing less than par ty treason. —Macon News. 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 just because he is a flowery ora tor. If that were the case, John Temple Groves would be in the United States senate by this irae.—Lee County Journal. Mr. Wyche, who travels for the Franklin Pub. Co., of At lanta, said while here last week that it was his business to see the county officers in every coun ty in the state; and shat from previous experience he could al ways tell what the exact political situation is. From bis investigr tions thus incidentally made; Mr. Wyche says the Col. Allen I). Candler is by all odds the faverite for Governor. — : Warton News. MOTHER!
