I THAT ATKINSON MEETING
The friends of Col. Candler
who had any apprehension that
there was mo''e Atkiti’on senti
ment in the community than
they believed, can rest easy af
ter last night’s pitiful disclosure.
Advertisements of the meeting
in the three papers of the city
for several days, the personal
influence of legal friends of
Judge Atkinson, the Kerr and
Dunbar resentment growing out
of a childish construction placed
upon Candler’s telegram of
congratulation to Mayor Walsh,
the seductive influence of a brass
band with transparencies and a
train of electric cars from Har
risburg, together with the val
iant championship of the Her
ald—all these infiences combin
ed, were able to b.ing out only
250 people to hear Judge Spen
cer Atkinson, a member of the
railroad commission, ex-judge
of the supreme court and candi
date for governor, and of these
250, a conservative estimate
places the number of Democrats
at not exceeding 50.—Augusta
Chronicle.
And yet the Herald—that
Sunday bull fighting exponent
of Atkineonian Democracy and
procurer of the Tom Hight ’etter
claims Richmond county and
the state for its unresignable
champion. Richmond seems to
be as safe as Floyd and Floyd
will show by her returns some
where near a ten to one vote for
the old commoner, Allen D.
Candler. Mark that prediction.
The “little ring” kicks—all
the same the people remain in
the big ring. The ‘‘reformers”
will again go down before the
people. Mark that prediction.
The Macon Telegraph said at
theoutaet that Col. Candhr is an
boiif-st man, and yet, because Col.
Candler bas been compelled to ex
pose the Telegraph nefarious
methods that old republican siste r
is howling.
Capt. J B. Nevin has the deep
sympathy of all Romans because
of his unfor'unate illness. All of
us hope for him a speedy and
comp'ete recovery and that he
may re'urn to his gallant commad
at no distant date.
The court officers of Floyd aie
as deserving as the court officer
of any other county —and the
court officers of all other counties
are regarded as worthy of their
fees. Floyd is the only county
with a Commissioner Featherston.
That effort to twist Col. Can
dler’s telegram to Mr. Walsh
into a reflection upon Captain
Dunbar and Mr. Kerr was be
low the belt and was not worthy
of Judge Atkinson. It was a
petty appeal to local passion.—
Augusra Chronicle.
Comptroller General Wright is
thoroughly capable of taking care I
of himself. His communication
on the first page of this issue is a
brillirnt contribution to the lit
erature of the present campa’gn in
old Floyd. Capt. Wright knows
how to quote the records. He al- I
ways sticks to the truth 100.
As an ed.tor, Judge Joel Bran
ham is peerless. He made the
Rome Georgian editorial page!
sparkle line a diamond show case '
in a big j- welry store yesterday i
morning. Judge Branham is as fine i
an editor as he is a lawyer and he 1
is as able a lawyer as he is perfect 1
as a gentleman. vVho can coms j
p iineut him higher. I (

the people are not willing to <

cials to be slandered out of of—! ‘
I
flee by mud-slingers—no matter c
how expert. The “ring” will I*
defeat the self-styled “reform- a
ers” by an overwhelming ma
jority. Why? Why because the ®
people are the ring. i
JUDGE MADDOX.
John M’’ddox is no chamele
on in his politics. His record a
as an open, clean book—not a
spot of dishonesty or u blemish
of demagoguery or political
intrigue appears upon its pages.
'The plain, frank and open ele
ment in this county and in this
district are his supporters. Sift
the crowd that is against him in
this county and you will find a
whole lot of them to be a crew
of controllers, heelers, would-be
republicans and malcontents.
This set is displeased because
he cannot be used and woofed
and warped according to its im
perious and unjust and unfair
demands, and its unholy spleen
crops out in the opposition to
his candidacy.
However, everybody. knows
that Maddox will be nominated
by an overwhelming majority
and that no suspicious political
alliances or official intrigues
will be able to amount to any
sort of respectable opposition.
Even this county is not yet as
sured io the score of his schem
ing opponent.
Murray county's Democracy
and political gratitude cannot
be traded and trafficked with by
a few individuals now as it has
been in the past and you may
just mark.it down that our peo
ple have and will exert their
manhood at the polls and will
prove to the world that no man
can go to Atlanta or Carters
ville or Rome or Dalton or any
other town and pledge their
suffrage without their consent
and their unqualified approval.
—Springplace Jimplecute.
Only five more days and abso
lutely no prospect of a joint de
b te between Bob and Spencer.
John Maddox remains at his
post of duty. John Maddox can
rest essured that the lovers of
fair play will see to it that he is
renominated by a handsome ma
jority.
Railroad Commissioner At
kinson has dropped his cry of
“there are no common people in
Georgia.” This must have been
a campaign of education for the
martyr of the candler county
contest.
See that your ballot has the
name of W. A. Wright for comp
troller general, on it. Don’t let
your partisan feeling get the
better of your good judgement
and cause you to scratch the
name of such a pure, able, clean
and fearless man from your
ticket.
