Col. Torn Loyless remarks that
those people who complain that
the newspapers spell Manila with

Dewey ki.oeked a little I out of
Manila a few days ago.
The Rome Hustlei-Commer
cial describes as significant a
paragraph chat recently appear
ed in The Times to the effect
that Candler had the inside
track for the gubernatorial prize.
Our contemporary is, as usual,
beautifully and eminently cor
rect, and it will not be long be
fore it will become apparent
that the position of The Times
signifies the downfall of the
Glynn county ring and the petty
politicians who wear its high
collar.—Brunswick Times.
And here is hoping that The
Times may win a full and com
plete victory for the good peo
ple who have been so fearfully
handicapped in their brave ai d
resolute efforts in upbuilding
Brunswick, the fairest sea-side
city of them all.
Says the Brunswick Times:
“The Greenwood, (S. C.) Index
is evidently edited by a man
whose organ of veneration is
somewhat imperfectly develop
ed. This is the manner in which
he flings the mantle of his sar
casm over the governor o r Geor
gia: ‘William is known to fame
mainly as the cheapest states
man unhung, and the possessor
of curly hair and a remarkably
unruly Georgia ambition. Now
he wants to get himself a conJ
spicuous position with a good
votecatching argument for the
hereafter.’ ”
What has become of that oath
bound, secret political organiza
tion which named itself the
Young Men’s Democratic Club?
Has the inner guard fed that
barrel of blackballs to the club’s
goat and then sent the goat into
the wildrrness. What do Demo
crats think of nominations made
in star chamber meetings when
only 19 members voted for nom
inees and by that vote under
take to hold and force an alleg
ed membership of 250 to stay in
line .
Hon, John W. Maddox, the
Seventh’s popular Representa
tive in congress, has shown Polk
county such substantial favors
that the county will undoubted
ly go into the Maddox column
at the primary on June 6th. —
Cedartown Standard.
Keep kool, gentlemen, and let
your hair grow. The truth is
mighty and will prevail. The
mud-slinger, even though he be
an expert, is of but few days
and full of trouble. Truly his
days are numbered and soon the
places that knew him will know
him no more forever.
We want it distinctly understood
that we are not clamoring (or a
war between the United States
and England on the one side and
Russia, Germany, Au-tria and
France on the other—but if such
a contest comes the English speak
ing race will come out on top.
Mark that prediction.
“Brigadier Bill” is determined
to say something about his “mud
slinging” the Georgia militia. He
will have to say a good bit before
he can begin to set himself
right with the justly disgusted
military men of Georgia. Briga
dier Bill is a daiev,
Spi i i proposes to decorate all
the blockade runners who g*t iuto
Havana. but the guns of the blook- j
ading squadron will deliver some
deck orations that will render the
Spanish kind unnecessary.—Col
umbus Ledger.
Mr. McKiulej will tell yon Lhat
though both are iu the future
there's a difference between “To
MorroF’and “tomorrow!”
War rumors make the Phillip
pine insurgent a hot member— and
just to think 1 Here Dewey has
gore and annexed about 15,0C0,-
COO of him.
After Georgias quota is mustered ■
in then will come C< xey and h e
army.
The slime slinger is abroad in
the political gutter. And, strange
to say, he is found enlisted un
der a banner of “reform.”
The gubernatorial campaign i
not troubling the folks ebent
here. Everybody has already de
cided to vote for your Ui.cle Allen
I),, and war talk has fu'l sway.—
Dawson News.
The Russians say it was Spanish
cowardice that lost the day at Ma
nilla. And yet the Spaniards
surrendered i othii g. They fought
like deamoi = and died like devils.
With Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Phillippine added, UncleS am will
show up with nearly a hundred
millions oi ppop'e. He only has
one Brigadier Bill and one Gener
al Northen, however.
Somebody cal Is the Griffin camp
the state cooking school. The
boys are no doubt ready for a
broil with Spain, and would not
object to getting into a stew with
Weylor himself.—Brunswick
Times.
The Atkinson organs have low
ered their sights, and no longer
claim everything. The Newnan
Herald, one of the lustiest and
most persistent or these speilers
admits that the railroad commies
sinner will not go into the con*-
vention with enough votes to
nominate him Berner will beat
Atkinson and Candler will beat
both of fii’n . Dawson News.
The •'ringsters and fixers” will
meet their Manila in June, ob
serves the Rome Tribune This is
the first admission of defeat that
we have yet seen iu an Atkinson
organ.—Macon News
And you watch Floyd county
hurl the slander back into the
teeth of self styled “reformers”
and, re-elect her faithful servants
back to offic —and on the same
d’»y roll up a big vote at the ratio
of 10 to 1 for Candler.
“Young Mens Democratic
Cub I” An oath hound member
-hip where each member has run
the gauntlet of black balls! Star
chamber meetings, secret pass
words and dark lai.terb nomina
t'ons! And y&t, under the banner
ofd<inocrac, this alien brand of
politics would control the poL
itic.il office of the county. This
under the standard of “reform”
is the element that would redeem
the county from honest, open,
f-ar less able and experienced men
of affairs. Let the intelligent voter
gaze upon the two pictures: The
one with the open day light for a
background, while the curtain of
night is drawn about the other,
lien let him vote. He can always
be trusted to vote right.
