Now is the time to tell your

Vivid correspondents describing
battles that havn’t occurred is

The “greaser” organs have re*

Poor Sunday-buii fighters—they
•will stiff*. keenly though they
wilfully deserve it all.
The history of our great edu
cators has always been one of
pride with the American nation !
but Georgians in particular have
al! reason to be proud of the
work of one who has given his
life to an earnest endeavor to
upbuild his state and advance
the interests of the young people
of his country.
In a recent conversation in a
western state, for removed from
home and its local influences, a
man’of marked intelligence and
character was heard to rem rk :
“I want my child to go to
Rome and see the Shorter Col
lege girls, and I want her to
meet that grand old man, Dr. A.
J. Battle, the man who gave me
my highest conception of life.”
Os such men as Dr. Battle we
have too few—men whose strong
individuality and rugged moral
ity combined with the humility
belonging to such servants of the
Master as he, too much cannot
be said. They may complete this
human life, but their life-work
will live forever and spread to]
the uttermost parts of the earth.
May the peace that passeth all
understanding be with them.
Admitting, for rhe sake of the
argument, that the “reforunerß”are
in earnest ub ut the “Nigger in
the Wood Pile” registrition list
ideas, we would like to call the re
formers attention to the fact th t
if the “manipulation” of a regis
tration list is worth anything to
any one, it must he to the cand -
dates in the general election, and
not in the primary. This being
true, and the present primary
demonstrates that the registration
list cuts no ice in a primary, what
is the refermfr driving at? The
tax collector will be a democrat,
and the registration will be in his
hands. This being true why should
any democratic nominee, or any
democrat ra sea kick. The“nigger
in the wood p In” idea is a joke in
spired by a non de plume writers
vaporings.
Many men have concluded to
vote for Candler simply on account
of the vicious attacks that have
beeu made upon him by the Atkin
son-Berner papers, observes Ed
itor Eldridge.
What Judge Harr's did to their
“disserting commissioner” was a
plenty. The Judge has hauled off
for breakfast, after which he will
proceed to finish the engagement.
Yes dear ‘ reformer” there is a
hire law and i t s corner stone
is the proposition that a laborer
is worthy his hire. Let your
county commissioner dissent if be
will, the truth stands just the
same.
z
Taxes? What is there a city o f
Rome’s size and growth thathnsa
lower tax rate than $1,12|? Name
your city and its rates. Come
down out of your glittering gener
ality baloon and give tiie people
something definite —if you cm.
The Brunswick Times says :“The
situation—Candler in the lead, the
opposition in the soup ” That is a
cai did opinion from the homi
county of Atkinson, tiie unresigt -
able, and it contains large chunks
<jf solid truth —Americus Herald
Comptroller General Wright has
made no attack on any one, The
controller has been unmercifully
and unjustly criticised and has
only taken the defensive. His
rep'y however, is so full and com
plete that the reform e r s
honestly believe that they
have not only been attacked but
hav« been unhorsed.
Will “Tax Payer” come from
behind his no-de-plurne? The
good citizens of Floyd county
would like to know the name of
the man who makes so cowardly)
attack on the memory of one of
God’s noblest men. Shame on ,
such a man and shame on such
methods in campaigning.
This effort of the reformer to
i Hike it appear that John Van
diver is too corrupt a man to]
handle the Floyd county regis >
r ation list, is amusing—espec--
inlly as it is not insinuated that
Mr. Vandiver is too corrupt to
handle the money’s that come
into the tax collector’s office. So
the reformers” are not really
afraid for John Vandiver to
handle the county’s money, but
can’t trust him to look after
registration lists. Now, the truth
of the business is Mr. Vandiver
Ciii be trusted anywhere that
any other good man can—and
be and his supporters always
“register” their own names to
the comm unical ions they fur
nish tor the public prints.
To the average citizen of
Floyd county, the double col
umn “war-headed” appeal of!
the “reform” organ this morn
ing was quite a contrast to the
class of “argument” used at the
outset of the present campaign.
The real reformers are solid for
the ring ticket —the reformers for
office only and their partizan fol
lowing are for the nominees of
that oath b end. ""'•rAt political
