Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber. Pending the discussion of ways and means, gaunt famine continues to stalk over the deso lated island of Cuba. Unresignabb Atkinson is getting very hot in the collar. Things may be warmer yet before the end of the campaigh.—Americus Herald The fight that is being waged against Col. Allen D. Candler by the ring politicians is very bitter. '1 he people may be assur ed that if his record was not clear he would be arraigned day in and day out from one end of the state to the other. He is a clean man and their fangs get no hold on him.—'Conyers Weekly. In his speech here Judge Atkin son emphatically denied that he is Berner s running-mate, an<j we are therefore greatly surprised to learn that he held a secret conference with the gentleman the other night in the office of (he Macon Tele graph. Has the genial judge chai ged his mind and concluded that it would take such a combina tion to 1 eat Candle)? Or was he ta'king 'hrotigh his hat while here? —Cedartown Standard. The Klondike is seldom heard of now. All eyes are turned toward Cuba. • LYING BY THE YARD. I Was Mr. Maddox afraid tbst the old democratic usage in nom inating would defeat h'.u? Evi dently. He felt safe but in biit two couuiiesoul of the thirteen— their votes would not nominate, and cons- quently something desperate had ’o be done to perpetuate him self in office even at the hazard ot the party that had honored him and paid him in full for all he had ever done for it. He left his post of duty at a most critical time to see that the thing was done. And never protested. Then he bowed himself out and returned. It re mains to be seen w’hether it was a good days work for him.—Carters ville News. In answer to the above we an swer unhesitatingly. No Mr. Meddox was not afraid. Hi simply bowed to the unanimous wishes of the committee as expressed in the meeting. It was not his plan but theirs —though, a fair and fearless democrat he readily understood that the move meant to place the election where it belongs, in the hands of the people. It is all pretty enough for the News to howl about John Maddox not being sate in but two counties. Its pretty in two ways: pretty rot and and pretty rotten. No man can truthfully accuse John Maddox of resorting to ques tionable methods in politics cr anywhere else—the truth is Judge Maddox is one cf the few men in public life who has the courage of his convictions and who always wages war iu the open. The statement that “he left his post of duty at most critical time” is as misleading as it is false. The News knows or ought to know that congress took a recess from Thurs day until Monday and that John W. Maddox was in bis seat doing his du‘y upon both those dates. Judge Maddox sent his family home frem Washington on the morning that congress adj urned and that afternoon, finding that he could come home for a day he le‘t for Rome, no one being more surprised than his wife upon his arrival. He came to look after private interests that wou'd have suffered but for the unexpected adjournment, for John W. Mad dox has never been known to shirk a responsibility or slight a duty The charge that he came home to manipulate the committee is a slander to both John Maddox and to the members of the committee, including the two Bartow county gentlemen, and is unworthy the man who makes it. Let the News editor “tote fair,” above a 1 ! things let him be honest and sling no mud. If he wants to do the right thing let him publish the facts in this case just as they are and not as h is trying to make them appear. The Philadelphia Record thus refers to the row in the National House of Representatives on Wednesday last between Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, and Mr. Brumm of Pennsylvania: ‘‘lt remained for our stalwart Rep resentative—Brumm, of Schuyl kill—to precipitate disorder and disgrace m the proceedings of the House on Wednesday last when the resolution for inter vention in Cuba was under con sideration. He called little Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, a liar. Mr. Bartlett retorted by Hinging a bound copy of the House Man ual at his head. Nothing more appropriate could have been Hung; but the Georgian’s aim i was bad. He did not hit Mr | Brumm. A deplorable scene en isued, which was made more de plorable for the reason that a matter of such momentous con sideration.

After the election, when the auti-Candlerites have seen your Uncle Allen go in with more than 100 counties behind him they will hope and pray that the sins Jthey are committing will not be remem bered by the people. The Citizen is opposed to the Floyd county scheme forchangi'g the system of nomination. It is unfair to the smaller counties and a menact to democracy. Da'ton Citizen TneCitizm calls it a “Floyd county scheme” when its own county committemen voted for it and when it can show no member of the committee, ct any county that opposed or voted agaii st the method.
