ALABAMA IN THE WAR.
A half a doxen or more of the
many visitors at present in
Washington from all over the
Union were talking a few even
ings ago at an uptown hotel
where there is always a South
ern contingent. Naturally the
subject was the war with Spain, i
“Lot the war fight proceed,”
said a long-legged man from Al
abama, “but I, right here, as an
Alabamian, representing the
best interests and the patriotism
of that noble and long-suffering
state, want to warn you North
ern fellows to keep your hands
off. You say that 50,000 troops
will be all that are needed to
wallop Spain off the earth, do
you? Well, Alabama can send
100,000 and still have a reserve
left, and, what is mire, we pro
pose to do it and to carry on the
war ourselves. You fellows up
North in the last war had things
in your own hands and swiped
all the pensions, and now, if
there is to be another war, Ala
bama intends to do all the fight
ing herself and get all the pen
sions. Do you understand that,
Yank? If you don’t, you had
better take something to clear
your thinker with in order to
get out of the way when the Al
abama troops get the word to
charge. See!” —Washington
Star.
The Citizen is opposed to the
Floyd county scheme for chang
ing the system of num nation.
It i-s unfair to the smaller coun
ties and a menace to Democracy.
—Dalton Citizen.
The Citizen stoops to dema
gagory when it says “Floyd
county scheme.” Floyd’s six
votes were cast for the measure
as were Whitfield’s two votes.
Floyd has but six votes in a
district meeting of 34. The Cit
izen knows this, and yet it stoops
to demagogory and attempts to
arraign the district against Floyd
But in spite of such campaign
ing old Floyd will continue to
roll up her usual big majorities.
The Candler papers insist that
joint debates betw?en Colone 1
Candler and Judge Atkinson
would “hurt the party,” but they
are crazy to have Judge Atkinson
and Mr. Berner “get together” oi.
the stump Why is this? —Savan-
nah Press.
The Candler papers referred t<>
hava only meant to emphasize
before the people the fact that
Messrs. Berner and Atkinson are
notseeking joint debates for the
purpose of enlightening rhe peo
ple upon any party teaching, but
simply desire a chance to double
team on Colonel Candler If they
are spoiling for a joint debate why
not have it themselves? That is
the only position taken by the
Candler papers. They are not
opposing debates for Candler anc
favoring them for the other two
They are simply bringing out the
fact that the other two arc after
Candler and not after joint
debates.—Augusta Chronicle.
In his speech here Judge Atkin
son emphatically denied that he
is Berner’s running-mate, and we
are therefore greatly surprised to
learn that he held a secret confer
ence wit!) the genth man the other
night in the office of the Macon
Telegraph. Has the genial judge
changed his mind and concluded
that it wouid take such a combi
nation to beat Candler? Or was he
ta'king through his hat while
here?-Cedartown Standard.
Colonel Candler has told of some
of these leaks, and, notwithstand
ing pretended anxiety for the col
onel to talk on the subject, there
has been no noticeable improve
ment in the feelings of the opposi
tion to him. There is food for re
flection in what Colonel Candler
has said, and a mental microscope
should net be necessary for the
unlesignable candidate to search
out the ideas that suggest it

CONGRESSMAN MADDOX.
lion. John W. Maddox made
a very strong and able speech
in congress the other day in op
position to the declaration of
war between this country and
Spain. He showed that lie was
no jingo, but a cool, calm think
! er, weighing the causes and ef
fect as well as the personal re
sponsibility.
He looked at it from a hu
mane standpoint to his own peo
ple with whom he lives and
represents, the hardships and
burdens that it would entail
upon them.
His speech is one of the
strongest and ablest that hat
been delievered in congress, and
stamps John W. Maddox as a
level headed man and a safe and
wise congressman. That spot ch
will make John W. Maddox
friends all over the Seventh
congressional district —Marietta

Judge Atkinson and Mr. Ber

Candler’s contention that an un

jointly fighting Candler.—Daw

would he attempt to uct for State

News form the city of Fitzgerald
received at the headquarters of
the central Candler campaign
committee in the Kimball bouse
yesterday, acquainted the com
mittee with the fact that all Fitz
gerald was preparing to turn out
to receive Colonel Candler there
tomorrow. It will be by long odds
the most conspicuous political
event in the history of the new
city, and Fitzgerald proposes to
show what she can do in such an
emergency.

The presence of so many north
ern veterans will give a sentimen
tal turn to the afair, too, because
it is a somewhat unusual thing
for a confederate veteran to plead
for votes from such a source.lrwm
county is practically conceded to
Colonel Candler, and it is said
that the old soldiers at Fitzgerald
are practically solid for him.
Chairman Ed Brown, of the
central Candler committee contin
ues to receive encouraging iep r
from all parts of the state. Every
individual Candb r club is wo k
ng hard in the interest of then
candidate, and the secretaries are
keeping in constant touch with
the central organization.
o o o
Chairman Bruwn said ye-terday
that while the prediction seemed
extraordinary under the circum
stances —two candidates fight ng
one—he would not be a bit sur
prised if Colonel Candler should
carry a hundred counties. A re
cent canvass of counties in the
cen'Tnl portion of the slate had,
he said, resulted more favorably
than the most sanguine Carol er
-upporters had looked for.
