The fellow wh« runs into an engine is fortunate, indeed, if he ■crawls out. In Georgia Democracy Atkinson has a record. Asa Democrat wl.at can the other man show? “Paradise lost'’ and “Pair of dice lost” are about the same to the Krou nick Krap shooter. In New York, physicians hava be gan to build metalic Jaws tor their patients. We have often been the patien . when the metalic Jawed man was in hearing. «J.H 1 .1.1 " ! ■_!» Mr. Chas T. Bayne of the Augus ta Chronicle has written a poem on the subject of “There are other eyes in spain. ’’ Perhaps there are but what du Bayne know about them.' No man has yet answered the ques tion. ‘-What has General Evans done for Democracy in the past thirty years? If lie has done nothing for the party why does the party owe him any thing? The organess and the organ pumper are as different as day and night, at least the boy says his job is all work and no play. And yet like the fellow drinking “old bourbon” he gets in the wind. Two of Home’s fair daughters will own a r*w boat next Summer. The Boat will be much faster than th* veatal virgins. It will be kept on the Oostanaula and Coosa —the girls would not dar* navigate the turbid waters of the Etowah —they might think dammitifiheydid. MunUan, in his “Ballance Sheet o f the World,” says : “Every day the sun rises upon the American people it sees an addition of $2, 500,000 to the accumulation of wealth in rhe republic, which is equal to oue-third of xthe daily aecumulatioii of mankind outside of the United States. '■l . —. . w WEN. EVANS AS A POLITICIAN. Some of the papers keep spout ing about the office seeking the man—in the Evans boom. Such atuff is rot. and “wont jo” with the people We *uppose the offi*e was seeking the General all *ver the state, when he wok* up some mouth, ago decided in his mind to fix th* •wires and run for governor, and straight way began organising Cons ederate Veteran’s camps. We do not censure General Evans for working these wires to attain his ends, but, for he*v*m* aak* let the papers who are paint ing him as “too pure a man to dabble in politics,” give us a rest. General Evans has been a gal lant soldier, and su eloquent preacher, but as a democrat, for the past thirty years, h* aint been wuss a cent, to the party. Atkinson was too young to go to the war, but through the dark days of reconstruction, on down to the memorable campaign of ‘92, he has faced the enemies of his party, fek and but for him and the working W •lemenc of that party, democracy might have been a dead co*k in the pit—certainly it would not have relied up the grand majority ■of SO,COO as it did fighting th* calamity howlers. When a girl calls the “nice young” man her “intended” she means that he shall be her affian- C d ; After they are engaged, h* is her “intended” because she pro poses to marry and boss him. Governor Nei Lhens attention has been celled to the recent junket of Captain Crabb a guard ot the Gress lumber camp, and the esnviet “Lord* Beresford. The trip took in Ameri cus and Dawson, and it is said made a round of the barrooms together. The governor regards the matter as a serious one, and will direct an im mediate investigation. It is stated in the explanation of the affair that Beresford was a “trusty. ‘ There is too much ot the trusty business in Georgia convict camps. But the de cision of the courts in Beresford's case should have been notice to the lessee to the Gress camp that he is not a proper person to be made a trusty.—Columbus Enquirer Sun. among; THE PRINCES.

If you can’t sell goods,saw ice; if you can’t handle cash, carry coal—de something. Act I If something don’t turn up, take hold of it flat sided and turn it up. Be a naan for six bits a day if you can’t get a dollar—yes, take fifty cents s day for doing something rather than complain,for worse than dub bed a loafer to boot. Rustle! Test your muscle, strike hard and that often. This is the boom that wins o It’s as much as we can do to rice early, and tl *n we d>u t knew hominy times we have to be call ed . —Augusta News. A man with no more grits than that, is pretty certain to get in the soup. o Jacob Junk, aged 83 years, of Milwaukee, has brought glut for divorce against nis wife on the ground that she makes life a bur den to him; that she takes away his spectacles; does not allow him sufficient bod clothing, and treats him generally with the greatest contempt.—Augusta Herald.

Selah!—Atlanta Journal. o—— What does a man mean when he walks into the editor’s office and asks him if he wants to buy some jugs?

O 1 hey say down in the wiregrass that California beer seed makes captial Byrd food.—Atlanta Jour nal." That may be all right with the Wiregrass Californians—but the only b*er we ever aeed Jhad a ten dency to keep a Byrd from food. Col. Bill Glenn, of Atlanta, is for Evans. That settles it. Col Bill is a Jonah. If Georgia wants to honor her old heroes, let her vote them a medal. A* for Democracy, or any other I’ve aggressive party for that matter, they can not afford to throw over the element that does the fighting —In ether words when seutment conflicts with buisness, Sentment must take a back seat. PURELY POLITICAL Colorado people are getting tired of Governor Waite. If their foresight had been as good as their hindsight, he would not have been Governor Waite at all. —Macon Telegraph. Col. Atkinson’s announcement as a candidate for governor was published yesterday morning. The advance sheet sent the T. A., how ever, did not arrive in time. It is printed today. Mr. Atkinson is a bold politician and displays an aggressive temper. He wants to be governor to reform the party, to serve his country, to benefit his people.—Tim«s Advertiser. Hon. W. Y, Atkinson, of New nan, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor. General C. A. Evans is also ’a candidate. Col. Atkinson did valuable and efficient work fo<| th* triumph of Democracy in rhe last campaign aud deserves a “fair field” aud generous consideration at the hands of Democrats. He is a brainy man and eloquent •peaker and his canvass of the state will not be devoid of inter est, —Marietta News. The sentiment of the active, vigo rous, working young Democracy of Georgia seems to be drifting steadily to Atkinson’s standard, but that is merely according to the eternr 1 fit ness of things.—Chattooga News. ——' I R •I 111 M ANOTHER CANDIDATE. Mr. W. Y. Atkinson has annouced himself as candidate for Governor of Georgia, and has told the people what he proposed to do if elected. Some of the State papers are loudly asking “What has General Evans’don e that lie shoo’d asp ; -* to the Governor ship? It would then not be entirely out of place to remind these particular newspapers that it was not Genera l Evans who sought the office; it was the office that sought him. The people of Georgia want him. They recognize his worlh and sterling qualities, and want him in the Gubernatorial chair. It would have been a fitting tribute to the famous patriot and soldier if he could be nominated by acclama tion, with no opposition in the field, but inasmuch as there are some so rash as to dare to run against him. all that is left to be done, is t* ra n y forces and work twice asjnard to place the people’s candidate triumphantly at the head of the Stats.—Augusta News. The above is fine for sentiaaaat.but when it cornea to business, why it i* dife- ent. Democracy in Georgia has her enemies and her f-iends; and if General Evans has never belonged to the former he certainly has had a poor way of showing his rights to be classed with th* latter. Show what your man has done fc r the party and then rally your forces— work thric* as hard if you please— but bear in mind you w’U be met at Philipii and Atkinson fate will not be that of th* Ciezar. The Democrats he led through '92 are yet in bis Je giors. Sa F- JILJSLJi. J 3 jfoCAVt Al \ IKAUE MARKsSwT COPYRIGHTS. V’ CAM I OBTAIN A PATENT?
