TWO PAPERS THE BEST Two poorly-patronized papers ar.? of less value to a town than one woll-patroisiz*d paper, and few towns in • •orgia under 20,000 population can support two good papers, and fewer towns in Geor gia under 10,000 inhabitants give one good paper a paying support. —Dalton Argus Rome, with her 15,000 people and her two dailies,is doing pretty well thank you. The Hustler of R< mi?,with its wall organized staff, serving fresh every afternoon all ths local news of the day, is mak ing lots of money and some little support While the Tribuye. the i stayed o'd morning sister, wi*h her brilliant telegraphic service, vi-i: the Southern Express from the Pot Metal Mills of Atlanta—is fit ill with us. Every wide-awake town needs two “devils”—and must have ’em —and that forces two patriotic men to turn their backs on luxury and ease,and sacrifice their youth ful ambitions and Utopian dreams and go to work, devising means of paying the printer and grinding surplus ’• ,ough from the copy mills to feed the office kat. The Argus man may be right in theory but is wrong when it cornea to every day work—right or wrong the Hustler of Rome could* no more live without R uno, than the “Imperial City” could without th* Hustler of Rome, and neither party is thinking of trying such an experiment eith“r. THIS IS SIGNIFIC \N T- “My position m ikes it necessa ry for inf to travel a grert tleiil through the State of Georgia. I am in coDS'qtiPi.ce thereof, 1 think, to a considerable extent in a position to know tlm sent intents of the peo ple upon the gubernatorial ques tion, as 1 have mH and talked with people in every portion Os tlie State. You can pu t it down that Hou. W. Y. Atkinson will be the n r xt governor of Georgia, and that he will receive the vot«s of just as many veterans as Gen. Evans. Atkinson is brainy; pos sessed of a high order of executive ability. His character is without stain or blemish and his legisla tive record is unassailable. The young Democracy of Georgia ars going to see that Atkinson is not turned down in th« race for gov ernor next year.—T. C Crenshaw, in Macon Telegraph. There were 201,397 deserters from the Union Army. This ac counts for the “patriotic” pension rolls. Kansas headed the list with 11 per cent—poor pension cursed bleeding Kansae NONE IN FLOYD. We notice a tendency of some of our contemporaries to lay all the kuidux ing done in North Georgia at the door of Murray county. We are here to state that such reports are untrue, for Murray county has a citizenship of as law-abiding people as can be found anywhere. So far as kuklux are concerned they grow and abound in every county in North Ga. — Jimplecute. Brother Hartsell is too “solubri ous” in the horizon of his remarks There is Jnot a kuklux in Floyd county. And more than that, the breed will not live on Floyd county soil. They are not needed. When a man wants to kill another man in this county he does the job openly. Why not? There is a law against it, but it has long since become obsolete. No, Brother Hartsell there are no kuklucks in Floyd county. STATE POLITICS The wiregrass section is not gree fly, but she wants a small slice of the political pie this year.—Waycross H-rald. South Georgia will be satisfied with the Senatorship. That’s our biscuit. Savannah Press. A prominent farmer of Georgia re cently remarked to the Gazette that the agricultural jieople of Georgia were pleased with the administration of Mon. T R Nesbit, state agricult ural commissioner, and that he would be a hard man to beat.— Barnesville Gazette Did the people of Georgia elect Senator Garden to tour over the country telling audiences the war is over? We think not. -Griffin News Governor Noithen is fairly in the race for the United States Senate He would make a good one, so would Bacon, so would Dußiguon, so would a number of other distinguished Georgians, but the Herald is partial for Turner.—Cave Spring Herald. The papers down in the F'eventh ar agitating the name of II G Turner for Senator. They hate as much right to a candidate as any other district ou county in the state. —Al- bany Herald. NATIONAL POLITICS, Many of the wealthy patriots oppose the income tax on the ground that it is a war tax. A du ty tax ou the necessities of the poor -am«uiitiug ta about 40 per ! cant, —is also a war tax. —Bruns- wick Advertiser. Hon. Charles F.

Ih< r< is not an old “Confed” in JWileox that favors the home, or one that would be likely to go thore if it should be asfab lished as a home for the solcaeis.— Rochelle Solid South. Personal abuse will play no part ii the gubernatorial campaign. Both can didates are gentlemen with unimpeacl abl* characters. Georg a is no place for mud slinging.—Savannah Prets.
