DID GENERAL EVANS VOTE?
The stat’nient has been made
that (>.-i i ra! Clement A. Evans,
candidate tor Governor, did not
vote in the elections in the fall of
1892, when the party was in need
of the vote of every loyal follower.
We took the trouble to propound
the qu 'st u to General Evans
himeed, find his replv wpb that be
did vote. W hile we are for Mr.
Atkinson in this race, it is but
fair to give to the public General
Evans’ statement as to whether or
not he voted in the elections of
1892.—Athens Banner.
And now they tell us that sweet
tongued son of Democracy, Col.
S“abvru Wright, will take the
slump for thib patriotic father of
democracy, who for thirty years
has let the party weed its own row.

Th»r* is nothing, absolutely

ocracy is republicanism in dis

he next year on which side, with
the n< rtli and east or with our
brothers in the west.—Seaborn
Wright.
And now Seab’s friends are
wondering how long Seab would
stick to “our brothers in the west”
if he had a chance to. Politically
speaking Seab is a heartless fiirt
and a gay deceive.
SO AVI' L ROME.
W£ agree with the Augusta Her
ald that Atlanta ought to give way
and permit Macon to have her expo
sition next fall A city has no more
right to break faith than has private
individuals. Macon has toted fair
with Atlanta, and the Gate City
should show its appreciation by pay
ing in the same coin.—Hostler of
Rome.
Thanks, gentlemen. We are glad
to say Atlanta has acted like a gentl -
man. She and all Georgia will help
to make Macon’s fair this year the
biggest on earth, and we will take off
our coats for Atlanta next year.—Ma
con Telegraph.
THE FIGHT WON.
On the first day’ of this mouth
the laws ceased to tolerate the
Louisiana lottery, and on the same
day that institution opened busi
ness in the republic of Honduras
It bought the privilege of doing
business even in that little repub
lie, whose people are generally
supposed to have rather lax moral
ideas at a high price, but jeceived
very considerable concessions. In
fact, it gets pretty much every
thing it can want, but pays a
yearly tribute to the Honduras
government larger than the reve
nues it receives by taxation—
about $1,000,000.
Os course the company does not
expect to do in Honduras, or in
Spanish America, a business large
enough to stand such a tax. It
looks to the United States for its
victims in future as in the past;
but it may be disappointed in its
expectations.
The letters from foreign coun
tries are no more sacred than
rhosfe which originate in eur own
postoffices, and the company will
find that it will not ba allowed to
use the contract of our postal de
partment with that of Honduras
to evade our laws. There may be
some difficulty in settling this
question definitely, but only on*
settlement is possible. That the
company will continue to b> a om
business in the United b ■<
im vitable.
That can be prevented only by
our government shutting off inter
course with Honduras entirely,
which will, of course, not be done;
lut it will be dor.? surreptitiously
and will not extend to large pro
portions. The long continued fight
against-the Louisiana lottery is
won,—Macon Teiegragh,
WHERE WAS YOUR MAN?
Grubb, of the Darien Gazette,
pertinently r ’marks: “An ex
change thinks that Mr. Atkinson
has been well paid for his services
in the last campaign by being
elected speaker. There are hun
drods of good democrats in Geor
gia who did just as much work and
have not received 'nary a cent’ for
it.” Certainly ; we'l paid, indeed
—Dalton Argus.
But we notice that none of the
“Several Hundred'’ aforesaid, have
claimed that General Evans be
longs to “fighting divisions.” Th
truth | is, nine tenths ot those j
“hundreds of good democrats” nbo
did the work for the party in ’92
are now far one of their number*
over Governor Atkinson.
THE MIGHTY FALLEN,
Six months ago Gen. C. A. Evans
was a respected minister of the gos
pel. Recently he has drifted into'
politics. Last Sunday he submitted
without protest to a political intei—
view with a Constitution reporter.
He evidently read Mr. Atkinsons’ ar-,
nouncment on Sunday, and nots tis
fied with reading the aiticle he bat
tened te prepare an intei view on the
subject. Fora minister Gen. Evans ■;

The town o f jug tavern has ex
changed its unique and interesting

TALK ABOUT CONGRESS.
Rochelle Solid South: There is
room for all on the Chicago platform;
and i. our present congressmen will
not adopt it as their policy we can
elect men that will.
Brunswick Times: Some of the
senators express an opinion that the
congressional session will extend to
September. If it does not mend its
ways, what will become of the coun
try?
Cherokee Advance: Now that con
gress has met in regular session let
the democratic members hasten to
redeem every pledge made the peo
ple in the platform upon which they
and|President Cleveland were elect
ed. Do this and the country will
prosper and the people will be sat
■ tied.
Bremen Chronicle: Congress has
reconvened, nnd according to the
programme agreed upon, the Wilson
tariff bill will receive first consider
ation. The friends of the bill are quite
hopeful of its eijrly passage, expect
to have the new law in operation by
July Ist As soon as the tariff bill i 8
fairly before the body, the Hawaiian
question and Senator Voorhees's ail.
ver bill will be considered.
A TIMELY QUESTION.
General Evans wtw. given quite a
reception in Macon Dec. 19,He arriv
ed there at 11 o’clock from Dawson,
where he Lad been attending the
meeting of the Sou h Georgia Confer
ence. On reaching Macon he went to
I be-hotel Lanier and held a levee for
several hours.He was called on by a
I large number of confederate veterans
! and citizi :,s g r ncrally. The General
seemed much phased ia meeting
again aid war comrades.
This is something on the John B
Gordon stri]:e. How long will it be
until we can hitch the ox to the cart
and drive out with our wives and
children to meet the great and good
General as we once did the great
Gordon, who is always with the peo
ple about election time and with
Waff stiee? after election. How long
ob, bow much longer have we got to
i ivo on the effects of wa”, confidence
and rigid economy,
J- R. Liard.—in Hartwell Suu.

STATE POLITICS.
Genera! Eva ns made a soldier, but
he was drilled up to it. He has made
a good preacher but be was drilled
up to that high ca'bng. We ask for
‘Does Gen Evans know
how to be a governor?—Cave Spring
Herald.
Occasionally, a Democratic post
master is appointed for South West
Georgia. Imu is what the Heiaid
sagd gome time ago. We hope the
next six months of Democratic
reign M ill not be the same in this re
spect as it has beeu the past six
mouths—Albany Herald
It is announced that Gen Evans
will accept the proposition of Mr At
kinson to discuss the vital issues of
the day and now we have promise oi
a lively and interesting campaign.
When the third candidate comes from
under the cover, then the fun will
commence. —Columbus Enquirer
Sux.
Mr Watson, the greatest of all the
Populists in Georgia, srys there is
nothingto be urged against the char
acter of Gen Evans. Let the platform
tnd the men correspond, and either
the General or Mr Atkinson will be
acceptable, and there need be no
division among the people-—Greens
boro Herald Journal.
Col. Richardson, of the Columbas
Enquirer, Colonel Mclntosh, of the
Albany Herald, and Colonel Pendle
ton, of the Valdosta Times, all speaks
confidently of another Richmond in
the field for Governor. Come, now,
boys; if you’ve got something betfer
bring it out. Let us’have it, —Bruns-
wick Times Advertiser.
The Evans boom for Governor is
like a soap buble. It is mighty pret
ty, but; there is rotbing in it and it
will soon burst.—Ringold New South.
The Ledger is glad to see that Mr.
Atkinson’s erndidacy is receiving
that respectful consideration to which
that gentleman’s record and acknowl
e.L c d ability entitles if. Some of those
papers which made such a ridiculous
scramble to get astride of the Evans
boom, when its size seemed tc war
rant success,may be consfrained later
on to change their attitude in some
respects. —Columbus Ledger.
If Gen Evans and Mr. Atkinson
are at one on national questions, it
it should be an easy matter to cofin e
the battle between them to purely
state issues. —Macon Telegraph.

KNOX AND TEXAS SIFTINGS.
The editor of Lexan Sifti... has
become a trifle weary of furnish
ing J. Armoy Knox with a litera
ry reputation, aud ae will be seen
by the following corr*t>poudenc«
in tl «N. Y. Morning Advertiser,
disposes ot the myth that Mr.
Knox is either the “founder” or
“humorist” of Texas Siftings.
FBI M MOBNINC ADVFRTWR DEC, 19.
“J. Armoy Knox, founder o.
Texas Sifringu. has had no end of
a q - .:.'. (i tied sort of humor crowded
mln a four months’ experience,
daGd from the time when L ■ w' j nt
to Atlanta, Ga., as business mana
ger and associate editor of the
Evening .Herald. Knox worked
with his usual yiin, nistaining his
reputation as a humorist tybile !u
doubled the circulation of this pa
per. Al.'uut three weeks ago Ibe
Sheriff dropped into the office and
took charge of it, quietly but sum
marily. Knox, with his associates,
was locked out —not knocked out
A fewdays later the Evening News
was started on the Herald presses,
A week later the News was
pended. Meanwhile the humorist
has made himself very popular ii
and has hajl a number o
offers to remain in the South. Ths
paper with which ho was connect
ed was on its la t legs whsn Im
went there, helplessly and hope
lea.-ly in debt. Tho office couldn't
pay for the ink required to list
new subscribers, and there’s no
arguing against the poverty of that
sort.”
The following is Mr. Sweet’s
reply in the Morning Advertiser of
Dec. 21
“To the editor of the Morning
Advertiser:
“In the ‘Personal Mention’ col
umn of your issue of today appears
au item anent J . Armoy Knox auo
the recent collapse of the Atlant;
Herald. In the item referred to
Mr. Knox is described as the
•founder of T<xas Siftings ’ As
Mr. Knox frequently figurea as tbe
‘founder ami humorist of Texas
Siftings,’ it devolves upon me, as
the editor of the paper for the past
thirteen years, to give the frozen
facts upon which this claim is
based.
“Texas Siftings as a literary
product originated with me on the
Galveston News years before I evei
saw Mr. Knox. When we started
the publication known as Texas
Siftings in Austin in 1881 Mr
Knox had charge principally ot
the business department. He ha.r
not been connected with th« edi
torial department for the past ten
years, and has had no connection
whatever with the paper since 1889
As cumulative evidence of the fact
that Mr. Knox was not ‘the found
er of Texas Siftings’ I may men
tion that the three papers which
he founded since his ‘d sconnec
tion’with Siftings ar-i d.-ad, whi
Siftings is very mu h alive, ami,
as you perceive, kicking.'
