AC vert lei nr ratee and sample copies fur th 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 Commetcial 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 bis name as a subscriber. Congressman Tongue of Ore gon is re-elected. This speaks for itaelf. Hobson andjiis gallant_ k boys are alright. This is well fir the Dons. At a late Kansas marriage twelve girls whistled the wed ding march. “Blessed is the peace maker” Let the Vessuvius ; “come up higher.” “Our own with the fleet” is a very important per sonage these days. Hobson ia a prohibitionist—but what has that to do with his fail ure to cork that bottle? Those Cuban cables seem to be like horse hair snakes; the more they are cutjhe morej,snakes there are. The troops at Santiago are about 1300 miles from Tampa— even if they are tampering with the Dons. Judge Maddox don't have to dome borne to carry a democratic primary Soventh,* says the Ellijay Courier Sentinel. Every time that Blanco thinks about the situation at Manila he goes out and throws up some earthworks.—Americus Herald. Apart from, dynamite kites, gun cotton showering down from the Vesuvius gives some aspects of a rain of terror in that vicin ity- __ The Herald regrets to learn that the bottom has fallen out of the watermelon market in south west Georgia.—Waycross Bller ald. It remains to be seen whether those women street car conduc tors in Chillicothe will make the ladies “please move up and give the gentleman a seat.” Some one suggests that per haps after all that much dreaded Cadiz fleet only wants to take a Camara snapshot at us. Awful. isn’t it?—Americus Recorder. If Hobson dies in captivity, Cervera should be held account able, if he lives he is eligible to the major generalship of a di vision of kiped immunes. An expert has figured it that a two liours’s fight by the com bined fleets ol Sampson and Schley would cost for amniuni tion alone not less than $383,- 000. The tidings that the people of Caimenera are preparing to ap ply the torch to the town, indi cates that they are about to “light out” in earnest. —Bruns- wick Times. Queen Victoria has signified her intention not only of visiting th great review at Aldershot in July, but also of visiting London, where she will lay the corner-stone ol thejiew buildings of the South Kensington Museum. £The military vxp dilion which sailed from Tampa for Santiago this week is the most powerful military exp dition that, ever left America, being more than * twice as strong, numerically and other wise, as the army that was sent to Mexico under General Scott. Itseems that your Uncle Allen knew what he was doing. W when he wrote that epistle to the Ro man.—Dawson News. And from the returns from Floyd it would seem that th» Romans knew how to appreciate said epistle. Tbe Russian Ambassador brings in his budget to the United S »tes only the assurance of good will. France protests her everlasting friendship, and the German Em bassy is kept busy denying any hceHle intent upon the part of the Emperor. Spam appears to b« without allies among the nations. Manila must have a peculiar at tractiveness for Lieutenant George N. Hayward cf the l yited States cruiser Baltimore. In a lettir to a relative ia Detroit he says: “M> one hope is that we shall retain the Philippine group forever. It i. worth all of China and a hundred Cubans, and the inhabitants sire it,” Madrid continues to receive dis patches from Captain Gener. 1 Blanco, which fact indicates that one of ’the submarine telegraph lines ,( probably that from Santi ago de Cl' a to Kingston, Jamaica) rem ainsjin tact Cable cuttine! is evidently not so simple an oper ation as the uninitiated had sup posed it to be. The Candlers of Georgia si i n to be as much “in it” as the Me* Laurins of Mississippi. Recently one Candler has been nominated for governor, another’has been made a bishop, and a third has bee.) appointed a colonel inj tbe volunteer army. —Savannah News. And the News might safely add that every Candler appointed oi elected reflects credit upon the elector or the appointing power. That was a remark highly f] t tering to this country, and yet not unduly laudatory-, with whichjlhe British Consul at Manila reasstm d a timid Spanish woman who wen' to him for protection after Dew. y victory, and after pondering on the Lightening proclamation con cerning tbe practices ol tbe Amer icans, issued by the Governor Gen eral *of the “Madam-’/ said he, “honor and virtue ate safer in Manila today than they have baen in three hundred years.” The Ri me Hustler-Commercial says John W. Maddox “will re main as representative of the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia until Georgians call him home to Serve them as governor. ” Gaewfiilikins! —Dalton Argus. , l»The Argus man a ill do his duty more fully when he has learned to Xqow Judge Maddox inti n vtuy f, r then he will know better than to east slurs at one of the ablest men ami !» st representatives in congress. I CHAI ’ OM OVER THE SEA. Fon. pi’i-ons. mostly children have died nt Antwerp from poison caused h; uulmg icecream sold by street peddlers. —Bi( -h Colonial Secretary Chamheilain denied yesterday, in London, the report that he inten ded resigning from the Ministry. President haure has invited Paul Louis Peytral to form a Cabi net winch shall be repres?ntative of thovlifferent Republican fact ions. —John Trodd, who attempted to assassinate Count Ascovalley, o' the German Embassy in Lon don, made a rambling statement when arraigned, and was held for trial. SALARIES OF ARMY OFFICERS. Uncle Sa tn has always been accus ed of being parsimonious in deal ing with his soldiers, and while there is nothing >n the pay of a private to tempt any to throw up i good job, yet the commissioned officers are pretty well paid, except for the time they are actually be ing shot at. In time of war all persons connected with the army have their salaries increased 20 per cent, and hence in the figures given the increase has been added. Fol lowing are the annual salaries of the commissioned officers.

Good day.”— Chicago Tribune. Our Consul General at Shang hai, China, reports that 420,000 spindles are now in operation in and about that city, and that of this number all but about 35,- <•00 have been putin since the Japanese war.
