A reunited people in Georgia
shows the wisdom of the Demo
crats in calling Colonel Candler
to lead their ticket. There is no
other man in the state who
could have so effectively harmo

none who is more capable of
giving an able and wholesome
administration. The Democrat

Saxton’s tragic death would
indicate that some members of
the royal family in this country
are no better than they ara,m
Europe. But why didn’t Saxton
have a good fat job in Washing

kept him from meddling with
other men’s wives—Waycross

Connecticut and Rhode Island
are now engaged in a furious
controversy, the motive of which
is to prove that neither state is

that is Arnold was not born in
Atlanta, though the Atlanta
car shed would make him a good
monument.
Yellow fever makes cowards.
The Florida Times Citizen be

—more men in the single state
of New York have been swept
into their graves as a result of
one cold wave than have died of
yellow fever in Florida.

A Popular Delusion.
“Did you read this, dear?’’ said
Mrs. Grigsby to Orlando the other
night. “It’s a strange case. A
harmless lunatic imagines that
he's a grain of corn and will not
go into the yard lest a chicken eat
him, Isn’t it an odd delusion?”
“Oh, the world’s full of such
delusions, dear !’’ said Grigsby. “1
know a harmless lunatic who seems
to imagine that she’s a piece of
cheesß. and she will fly from a
room when a mouse enters it for
Gar the little creature will devour
her.”—London Tit fc ßits.
INCIDENT OF TROLLEYS
“What the dash are you here
for?” said an angry passenger,
stepping down slowly from the
footboard of a trolley car, He
thought the conductor should
have looked out for him and
stopped the car where he want
ed to get off, a block back.
“I’ll show you what I’m here
for,” said the conductor, reach
ing for the bellcord (ting, ting)
as he spoke, and
“Zip, zip, zip,” came the
sound of the mortoraan’s lever,
turning in the notches, and
“Bz z zz-zz zz !” sang the trol
ley, and before he knew it the
passenger found himself stand
ing alone in the middle of the
road.—New York Sun.

“Oh, yes. She always lets him

He—l was reading somewhere

She—Oh, well, don’t let that

“Is that fellow’ really a pain

“Almost. The only pain I suf-

“No,” said Senator Sorghum
with emphasis, “I can’t talk for
i publication today.”
“But, senator, in all the years
of our acquaintance this is the
first time you ever declined to
let me quote you.”
“I don’t want you not to
quote me. I want you to say I
decline to be interviewed. This
is confidential. I’ve concluded
it’s time for me to act as if I’d
got to be important that I

WATSON IS BURIED.
Commenting upon the result
ot the election in Georgia, the
Chicago Democrat says:
“Allen D. Candler, the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor
of Georgia, has been elected by
majority of from 60,000 to 70,-
000 votes.
“Populists in the state of
Tom Watson are completely
discouraged and the Democrats
are jubilant.
“With Candler the entire
Democratic ticket was elected,
and under the circumstances
the vote polled was the heaviest
in many years. In all parts ot
Georgia the Populists went to
pieces, and in Tom Watson’s
district , heretofore the citadel
of opposition to Democracy,
three of the most populous coun
ties have been placed in the
Democratic column.
“Watson was a marolot in
1896, and no one who Relieves
in Democratic doctrine will re
gret that he has been given a'
sound drubbing.
“As a victory for Democracy
the election in Georgia is en
couraging. It indicates a return
to the fold of those who had
wandered away, led by false
guides, and points to continued
successes in the future.
“There will be no more Pop
ulist revolts in Georgia. The
Republicans have hoped to se
cure the election of congressman
through a coalition with Popu
lists and negroeu, but the elec
tion of Candler and the defeat
of Watson’s candidates sent that
hope glimmering.”
