THE IIUSTLER-COMMERCIA E HU ST LE ROF ROM E KkUkllKteed, 1890. "HE ROME COMMERCIAL EHlablintesS. 189 n. i ni ■ i t . ig. rt<>« evtfry crenitic, except Saturday. Sunder aud weekly. PHIL G. BYRD. EDITOR AND >' /NZ I 1 K. m .. I 69,005! Dam the Etowah! ... UJfBT 69,005 for a majority ! “King of the Razcrbacks!” From Pigeonroost to Peach tree! Counting Floyd Candler’s ma jority is 69,005! 'V ' 1— JL - - * Now register for the congres sional election. Not a pop in the senate or a negro in the house ! Mrs. McKinley has the deep sympathy of an entire nation. The Hogan launch is beyond the Hobson air-bag remedy. The “Bloody Seventh” gave 1 Candler over 7,000 majority. 1 Now, all together, and * unit- i ed effort for John W. Maddox. \ . ■ .— — The “war lord” of Germany ( is a germ of dis-ease for all Eu- , rope. * f Cigar store Indians and dead Indians are about the only good Indians. , Atlanta seems to have all the ’ Collier she wants for a year or eo, at least. Everybody and his neighbor seems to be heading for the Ma con carnival. The Georgia University feet bawl team wins the first game of the season. No fatalities. “There are. no reserved seats in the democratic party !” Signed—“ Allen I). Candler.” Why don’t Spain call the game, if she don’t like the official score and the umpiring of em pire. Senator Fouche’s majority is clean— and a lulu. Major Fouche is popular in more than three counties. George Saxton owed it to bis sister to have been a better man— or at least —a more care ful man. Uncle Allen carried the Sev enth district by over 7,000. L h’s make “Our John’s” majority a cool 10,000. i Talkinj about majorities, do you know a state senator who can show a finer one than Sena tor Bob Fouche? Add Floyd’s vote to Governor Candler’s majority of 67,923 and you have 69,005 fur the “Plowboy of Pigeonroost.” The last slang synonymn for “our set” or “our crowd” in Philadelphia is “our bunch” — later on it will be “our cluster.” Gov. Candler’s majority on the percentage basis breaks all records for the state of Georgia. Let Judge Spence go meet the “common people.” Here’s to Editor Patillo and the good old Democratic county of Green. Walt is a brick—aye thousand of bricks—and lie down on the Pops. 1 It seems now that Hon W .A. • Dodson, of Americus, is to be elected president of the state senate this fall without opposi tion. This is as it should be. Mr. Dodson, as. speaker pro- • tom of the last house made a mcdel presiding officer and will . do as much in the senate. He is a man with a brilliant future ahead of him. His well deserved popularity has in no wise turn- ’ ed his head, and his friends over this way note with much pleas ure this i ew honor that is soon tc befall him. We doff our hat to “the senator from the 13th,” and the next president of the senate, Hon. Win. A. Dodson. —Hawkinsville News and Dis patch. Some of “Brigadier Bill’s”!* “blind followers” are digging > us and doing it in a most ( gentlemanly manner—i the facts as badly as tl v 7 missed their calculations when they failed to wring poises from t your Uncle AIP-L backed t Spencer for a winner but its- t alright boy - when X our P oliti_ ‘ cal boss nakes such charges, we will an *er —but not till then. r 'iie Santiago fever is thus t Lbscribed by Lieut. Febiger: “It t is tire funniest thing; it juuips - on 8 man. Your fever is about 13 for two days, then you com mence to get well, but feel very weak, and when that wears oil 1 you feel fine. Every man aid officer in cur regiment has had it, or has it now, and the turn for the better has come ” t « The Sunday Constitution gives a tabulated return of I the election showing that 136 counties give Governor Candler a majority of 67,923 By some means the county of Floyd is left out of the table. Floyd, how ever, is still in Georgia,and adds 1272 to the Candler majority, making Governor Candler a net majority of 69,005 votes. —.. _ 1 ■ We feel very proud that we were one of the original Candler men in Georgia. His majority of over 25,000 more votes than Atkinson got two years ago, shows that other people in Geor gia thought a right smart of the one eyed pigeon rooster. — Southern Record. Col. Candler is governor. Has Tom Height written him a con gratulatory letter? Tom is pret ty quick on the pen himseli.— Augusta Herald. Not quicker on the pen than the Herald is on political “scoops,” surely. There is such a thing as being too ardent. The claim of 100,- 000 majority for Candler was too wild.—Augusta Herald. > Another Tom Height letter i might have done it—why didn’t you try it? ’ Uncle Allen’s majority is > nearer 85,000 than it is the 50,- • 000, which the anti-Candler press accords him. The official figures will show that your Unci'* Al len has won by about 70,000 ’ majority. Matt Quay is in a “close place” seemingly, but when you remember that Quay owns the 1 Republican machine ip Penn ’ sylvania, there is no tnae in risking \our money on his , losin s- _____ The anti-Candler press is still persistently hugging “a 50,000 majority for Uncle Allen,’ when in truth—and they know the I majority is nearer SO,OOO. MISb H|l_l.’S DISCLAIMER A Miss Lucy Lee Hill, daughter of the distinguished Confederate . commander, Lieut n A. P. s ? Hili, who was killed) the day i ) Petersburg.

Robert E. Lee’s most dash ing and faithful lieutenants, i The Emperor of China may not be dead, he may have just gone off on a fishing trip with the gent who struck Billy Pat terson. Let the Anti-Candlerites file away the Tom Height letter and the epistle to the Romans — they will make fine anti-land slide souvenirs. The Georgia coast is in a bad way.

When Hobson has floated all the salvable Spanish wrecks Mr. Dingley should engage him to put some hot air bags under his scuttled tariff tubs.

To be sure, she looks a little white and pallid, but she is vivacious and cheerful in his presence,he does not realize that anything is wrong If he had but come home during the middle of the day, he would have found, instead of the cheerful wife, a weak, sickly, nervous invalid, with headache, pains in the back, i '‘stitches” in the side, burning and drag ging down sensations upd wUPf despopd ency and melancholy. In almost every case of this kind the woman is really suffering from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine or ganism. Frequently she does not realize her own condition. If she does, she shrinks from indergoing the "examina tions” and “local treatments” insisted upon by the average physician. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the medi cine needed by women who suffer in this Way. It acts directly on the sensitive or gans concerned and makes them strong, nealtljy and vigorous. It allays inflamma tion. heaL ulceratipi), soothes pain and fones and builds vp the shattered nerves. It transforms weak, sickly, nervous, Re spondent invalids into happy, hesltjiy wives and competent mothers It fits for wife, hood and motherhood. It makes “exam inations ” unnecessary.

THE LATE ELECTION AND GEORGIA POLITICS Savannah News : It is to be hoped the fusionists of the Elev enth district enjoyed reading the election returns Those from Charlson and Laurens counties must have been especially en livening to them The white men of the Eleventh are not to be bamboozled, Has anyb >dy heard of any strenuous efforts on the part of Henry G. Turner, Clevelandite, to elect Brantley to Congress? If he were a democrat, it would not b j necessary to ask such a question. —Sparta Ishmaelite. Does the Macon Telegraph fa vor Brantley or Wilkinson for congress, in the 11th district? There would seem to be but lit tle doubt of its preference for Wilkinson’s platform.—Sparta Ishmalite. The Georgia democrats set their brethren in Tennessee an example in activity which the latter should not fail to emulate. They gave Candler the govern orship by 60,000 majority and destroyed the last hope of their . political enemies in the state. That is just what should be done iu Tennessee in November. — Chattanooga News. , Here’s to Hon. Allen D- Can-, dler, Georgia’s next governor, • His honest, straightforward way > of meeting and dealing with the people was the card that won tl>e great democratic victory on , October sth, 18y8, and forever ; sounded the death knell of popu i lism and republicanism in Geor -1 gia.—Americus Recorder. While Dalton regretted the absence of its beloved Fleming dußignou last Monday, it cer i tainly enjoyed the speeches of ' Senator A. Steve Clay and Con gressman John W- Maddox. Both gentlemen made splendid talks and each did the demo cratic cause good. Both gentle men won new' laurels, and made themselves new friends while here.—Dalton Argus. i Gov. Atkinson’s prodding of the democratic committee for the form of the ticket which was sent out seems to indicate that he is still sore against dußignon. for the part taken by him in the last senatorial election. The ticket was all right. The com mittee had no right to try to control the votes of democrats for the amendment.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
