ROME, GA. Entered at the Postofflce at Rome, Ga., as seconu class matter. Advertising rates and sample co, ie» forth asking, BUSINESS OFFICE P HONE 85 The Hustler-Commercial is the only afternoon paper in Northwest Georgia. It has th combined circulation of the old evening Hustler of Rome and the Rome Daily Commeicial and is THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE~OF The City of Rome The City Marshal The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, The Hustler-Commercial 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. Madd< x had a “walkover.” What he did to Wait Harris was a plen ty- The anti-Candlerites may not br kuesing, but moat of them are thinking “damit.” Col W. J. Bryan will make a war record aa ia a war record if Mr. McKinley d<>nt aide track him. Os course Judge Turner will car ry Floyd il the fall. and so will Comptroller Genera) Wright. A Paris paper now asserts that France’s friendship for Spain is “purely platonic.” Neo-platonic wou'd perhaps better describe it Candlers majority over Hogan will be over 100,000 —our predic tions are ou ice for a few daya but we risk marking this one with an ice pick. The paper that fought John W. Maddox knows how to “sym pathize” with The Hustler Com mercial in its defeat on county officers. ' Ihe Candler land slide seems to have crushed the brea'h ont of ths house of Atkinson. Brigadier Bill has refused to talk about the election. I Now for 100,000 majority fcr Candler in October. To this end let the Macon Telegraph keep uj its bushwhacking tight on him. —Macon News. The Hustler-Commercial has heaped personal abuse upon no candidate it opposed. Thinking the fight was in the democratic family we governed our columns accordingly. Spencer proved only half a run ning mate for the frigid Mr. Bdl. Pcor Spencer—he saved his com missioner-ship, however and that amounts to something. The bitter anti-Candler papers are now engaged in not telling how it was done. They dent know *hut Lit ’em and have sworn out search warrants fur “the man who •truck Billy PsCe"*''’ ” The Hustler-Commercial pre dicted the nomination of Can dler, Phil Cook, Obe Stevens, Joseph S. Turner and John W. Maddox. These five won. We also predicted thatt Vandiver, Williamson, B^ysiege 1 , Foster and Ennis would be nominated. These five were not nominated. In their defeat the Hustler-Com mercial suffers almost its first political reverses in the eight years of its newspaper career. All five of the defeated candi dates are good men and true and have the confidence of every man who knows them. • In war and in peace, in public station and in private life, .Mien D. Candler has proven himself a true man of the people, and a good citizen. Yesterday his fel low citizens manifested their faith in him, and proved their appreciation of his public ser vice by nominating him for the high office of governor of Geor gia by a vote that is so compli mentary and convincing as to leave no doubt of the place he holds in their esteem and confi dence. —Augusta Chronicle. The Prince of Naples is hav ing all the privates in the garri son at Naples taught scientific farming. This is to overcome the dislike for farming shown by the soldiers—even by those who come from agricultural districts—when discharged . The Italian soldier is compelled to learn to read and write and when he comes out of service it is said he feels above farming and is apt to join the ranks of the so cial discontents. There was a biographical sketch of Gladstone published in a Turkish paper in 1895. It stated that he was a Bulgarian by birth, but, going to London with some pigs which his mas tsr desired to sell, aud desiring to become an Englisman, he changed his Bulgarian name, Grozadin, for Gladstone. This time Alabama carries off the chief honor. Constructor R chmond Pearson Hobson hails from that state. His heroic achievement in undertaking to sink the collier Merrimac in the mouth of the harbor at Santia go will fill a never-to be-forgot ten page in his country’s h sto ry.—Philadelphia Record. The Hustler-Commercial has the supreme satisfaction of see ing your Uncle Allen capture Floyd, by more than 2,500 votes over both opponents. The man from Hall received more than 11 to 1 over the railroad c om raissioner, while Handsome Bob got less than 40 votes. Ex-Senator Tabor, of Colora do, just appointed postmaster at Denver, once owned the ground on which the postoffice building stands and sold it to the govern meat for sl. The Queen of Greece is prob ably the only woman admiral in the world. She received this honorary appointment in the Russian navy from the late Czar. The LeConte pear crop in South Georgia is almost a com plete failure. The sale of the pear» was always a failure.— Waycross Herald. The exposure of the Mever hardt letter seems to have mad< Floyd give Col. Candler the banner majority in the state. It is said the official register of the Spanish army bears the names of 280 lieutenant gener- I als. i POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The hinges of true friendship never rust. Love may never die. but it gets awfully sick at times. No American cat can equal' the Chinese tomtom for noise. Pressed corned beef is more substantial than pressed autumn leaves. The proud father is always anxious to give bis first baby a weigh. The success of the man who fails for a million is something phenomenal. Some mtn are of no more con st queues than a thermometer on a pleasant day. A fisherman has plenty of leisure time in which to think out scaly stories. Go to the ant, thou sluggard —consider her ways and*keep away from y uir “iricle.” There a e times when the almighty <■ dlar will not go as far as a litrle politeness. After a woman reaches the age of 30 i is impossible to con vince her that the good all die young. The undoing of the work that Satan finds for idle hands to do furnishes employment for a lot of other people. There are two places in a newspaper where a man doesn’t care to have his name appear— the obituary column and the po lice court record.— Chicago News. DEVIOUS DEFINITIONS.
