United Slates the year previous, A Confederate Soldier with a democratic record is very different from a Confederate Veteran with no democratic history nt all. If Atkinson is as certain of tin balance of the Blate as be is of Floyd county then General Evans will not bed nown in the conv n tion. It has been decided by a Seattle Wash.) Justice that a man cannot be convicted oi using vulgar language to an officer iml ;s someone besides 11 o policemen heats him. In I<slß the first horse was brought to America. To day the statistics whow for the United States 14,056,750 heed valued at nearly one bi'lion dollars. J?. I _.*L. With Tom Watscn and Seab Wright both endorsing General Evans, the boom of that good man is decidedly on the wane —with democrats, and the democrats ar the people.

The Grein Mountain boys sell $1,2,"0,000 worth of maple shugar every twelve months Mar etta has decided by a vot< of 483 to 7 to issue bonds to er* - ct public school buildings. “This means permanent public schools for Marietta,” says the Journal, “which places the city alongside the progressive cities which havi amply provided good public school buildings. ” The times are not so hard .ns our republican friends would hav us believe, was ths announcement of the fifty-six cotton mills at Fad Biver, Mass., that their net earn mgs during the past year were 8 per cent on the amount of capital naves'cd, The Columbian souvenir coin was a losing experirn n* It not on’y t;i : '■ d to j :izu for the World’ b.or the premium confi de.:’Jy ■ \ i '.'led, 'ul tin- directors have hid to pay into -he United States t:easury $• 9,1 > b fre the cost of r- - - -linarv silver curr fj,700,000 worth of souv . i I ft u hand.

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. Seab is ever ready to tie onto the end of a booinlet. Its a habit ot hie. COL SEABORN WRIGHT- Th»r* is nothing, absolutely lie hing hut the name that binds th Democracy of the sections to geth r. Northern and Eastern Dem ocracy is republicanism in dis guii-e.JThe question in Georgia will 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 ■; setting some examples that will tick le his satanic majesly until the imps of Hades will slink" their sides in mer laugnter. Parson we beseech you to change your way of living.—Ring old New South. AMONG THE PRINCES. The town o f jug tavern has ex changed its unique and interesting name for that of Winder. The new name is fuff ot panes to some of the old inhabitants.—Americus Penny Press. We hope’ihe old “inhabitants” see through the pares of their Winder as we do the plate glass of the above clever “trouble. ” —o — Mayor Ochs,of Chattanooga, has been threatenad with assass natie a. An ox was kffied near Ringgold Christinas we - k and several people were made happy. Chattanooga is bettor off with bar Och’s living.— Ringgold New South. Trox should steer clear of all such cowardly Jakes. The times even in Chattanooga are too hard to stand it Trox is a bully fellow and should be more kine. o Corbett and Mitchell mav be hust hrg, but they are not in the ring—-yr t —Albany Herald. Flordia and Mitchell are, though, and they are not disfiguren either. o Gen. Evans has met with at least 150 Atheanian voters, and of that numbs i a" but eight have assured him of the’i wa* - m support. —Augusta Herald. Clark County has more than threi thousand voters and nine tenths oi the balance are waiting for Atkinson- And will vote for him when the time comes. —o— Oh! they are wi»e Who advei Use In winter, spring And fall; But wiser yet Are they, you bet, Who never let Up at all. —Griffin ca’l. C It is now reported that the poj e o; Rome and the czar of Russia have strained relations. There are many in the same fix in this county.—Mobile News. —o— A delinquent sent us a mess of hog brains yesterday. We would like for him and his tribe to know the paper cannot run by brains alone.-*-HusTLi:a or Rome. No, but the good friend must have been aware that brains are very essen tial in a newspaper office, —Buchanan Banner Messenger 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. <a 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.

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.'
