The Hustler-Commercial is
the only afternoon paper in
Northwest Georgia. It has the
combined circulation of the old
evening Hustler of Rome and
the Rome Daily Commercial,
and is
THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF
The City of Rome
The City Marshal
The Sheriff of Floyd County
' The Ordinary of Floyd Co,
The II ustler-Com m ercial
has the confidence of the classes
and the masses—because it mer
its and deserves the confidence
of all its readers.
Now is the time to tell your
neighbor to quit borrowing and
enlist his name as a subscriber.
England continues to prove
her friendship.
Its less than three weeks until
the democratic primaries are
pulled off.
Is “Citizen” a democrat? If
not what has he got to do with
this scrap? '
The “Artful Dougers” will
catch the dickens before June
Gth has passed.
Baseball, war and politics—of
these three the campaign liar is
not the humblest.
Wonder what political favor
Judge Harris has heretofore
shown to “Citizen.”
The people will “bring the
slanders to judgment” ou June
Gth. Mark that prediction.
Though every cable is cut,
General Blancc’s victories will
still be announced in Madrid.
Whenever the Hon. Seaborn
Wright has opposed democracy
The Hustler of Rome has had
the manhood and the courage to
fight him. The Hustler-Commer
cial is under the same manage
ment. |
Without the ringsters can
“quote a paragraph in law
which authorized and provided
for the appropriation of the
$4,651.35 belonging to the peo
ple, to their use the appropria
tion was unlawful and conse
quently wrong. It requires a law
to pay out public monies ami
not a law to prohibit its pay
ment.—Rome Tribune.
Accept your construction as
correct, and we know as well as
you do that in the practical, ev
ery-day affairs of a county’s
business affairs that such a rule
would not work—still accepting
your proposition as true, will
you please quote to the p eople
that passage of law which au
thorizes the Tribune to receive
SSO from the public funds for a
trade edition ?
If the late gubernatorial nom
inee of the populist party his
returned to the Democratic fold,
then we have not one word to
say against his taking a hand
in the selection of standard
bearers for Democracy. But, so
long as he is a recognized leadei
in the enemy’s camp, ail true
Democrats will fight shy of his
councils and look with suspicion
upon the men whom he would
“help” Democrats name as
leaders. Would Americans se
lect their generals on the sug
gestion of Spaniards? Let Dem
ocrats, and oi)ly Democrats be
on guard.
If Floyd county has paid her
court house officers money they
were not entitled to why don’t
the “reform” organ bring suit to
make them disgorge? If there
was anything in this charge
why has not the present county
board, a member of which is op
posing a “ring” candidate,
brought suit to make them dis
gorge? Will you undertake to
answer?
If to tell the Democrats of the
Seventh district that the Hon.
Watt Harris, Bartow’s latest
candidate for congress, and a
Democrat, has been holding
caucuses with the Hon. Scab
Wright, late gubernatorial
nominee of the populist party,
is treason —then make the most
of it.
Consular reports show that al
least 1,250 Americans are now
in dire distress in Cub?,, if they
have not starved to death and
. gone where all good American
go. If any of them are alive their
unspeakable misery admonishes
us to carry-the war into Cuba as
soon as possible.—St. Louis Re
I public .
The army which is to invade
Cuba will be supplied with
j drinking water to be taken from
) Brandywine Creek and conveyed
south in tank steamers. Our sol
dier boys will thus be doubly
1 indebted to the little state of
> Delaware—first for filling their
powder horns, and next their
canteens. —Philadelphia Record
f -
j Italy is congratulating itself
that there were only 920 duels
fought last year in the whole
country. Os these 103 had se
rious consequences, though only
one duelist was killed outright.
, It is natural to infer that acci
( dent companies are luring down
no dago-duelist risks.
Here is something we may begin
to ponder over even before the war
is ended. How long .will it take the
McCook syndicate, with Hanna.
Elking, Fairbairns and Pierpont
Morganjto get their financial claws
on Cuba .—Macon News.

It now appears that Dewey is

If Sampson is a man of mark,
his gunners are certainly men of

There are, it is claimed 125,0€0
hostile troops in the Philippines.
Uncle Sam should not send less
than 10,000 Americans to Manila.
Thou andsof Cubans continue
to starve while Uncle Sam’s ar
my of invasion sleeps in its
tents and her r< lief vessels ride
at anchor.
Senator Sewell has declined
the major generalship tendered
him by President McKinley,
rather than resign his seat in
the senate.
There is no lack of religious
literature in the’army at Tampa,
as Evangelist Moody has sent
25,000 Bibles and hymn books
to the troops.
Again we ask, what right has
the lion. Seaborn Wright, or
any other citizen who is not a
democrat, to help name a leader
for the democrat’s party?
Judge Harris, hav’nt you now
about come to the conclusion
tiiat what we told you, viz: that
the Tribune was only your friend
when it could use you, is true?
It lias been discovered that
while he was in Cuba Weyler
bought mules in his own name
for S3O and sold them to Spain
for $l2B.- Now the mules are be
ing butchered and Weyler is
kicking for them.
Besides its volunteers, Mis-
1 souri has furnished a Contingent
■ of 10,000 fully developed mules
equipped for either hauling or
’ kicking, as occasion my require.
; —Americus recorder.
My Dear Judge : What do you
think of •your reason for fighting
J the Hustler-Commercial for city
i printer, “because it was always
i bull-doggish in its bitterness and
I unrelenting in its personal ani
mosities and bickerings.” You
' told us that you preferred the
f I other paper because it was con
i'; trolled by a different policy.
Now, Judge, come across, whats
your revised opinion ?

the hour on the street and con
sult in Hon. Seaborn Wright’s
law office, —and the campaign
among the democrats is on—and
is hot—Then what is a loyal i
democrat to think of Hon. Watt
Harris’ democracy? Let demo-'
i erats remember that John W.
Maddox is 'it his post in Wash
ington, that.’-he is not there now
nor has he ever been there with
the consent of Hon. Seaborn 1
Wright—and that now Col. Watt
i Harris is in Floyd making' war.

it makes the advent easy and nearly pain

Mother’s Friend is good for only one

to “disgorge,” will you tell us
who was the officer who got
that “other third”—and tell us
too-, if it’s right for candidates
to “disgorge,” is it not right for
witnesses, bailiffs, and consta
bles, also the unknown “third

.“They say” Col. Candler used
bad language in his Clinton
speech. Os course the charge is
ridiculously absurd. But enough
abuse lias been heaped upon his
devoted head to license his using
a good deal of very strong lan

My rick.

According to the argument of

escape to enjoy his “grab”—by
