Col. J. J. Bull, of Taibi It m, Gu.,
wrote a card to the Atlanta Journal
the other day in which put the public

Atkinson for Governor. Perhaps if
Mr. Atkinson had not voted with an
cvjrwheluiing majority of the Leg
islature in defeating Col. Bull for tin-
Solicitorship of the Chattahoochee
circuit a year or so ago, Col. Bull
would probably now be enthusiastic
in his support Thera are some men,

A S lORY ON BLOUNT
A correspondent of the Savau
nan News, is responsible for this
spicy story on ex-M inieter Blount:
“Representative Hatch, o f Mis
souri, has just arrived after a !■ n*
spell o f sickness. The bluff Mis
souri in told this good story to ev
Minister Blount, when they m«'
today. Said he: “Thera is an eld
gentleman in my district whom 1
mot a few days age, who wanted t<-
talk about the Hawaiian matter
He asked mi who is this mat
Blount that was sent over tc
Hawaii? I told him 1 knewy’ii
and that you were a good man,
and fr mi G orgpa. S.iid Im; ‘ls he
an old rebel, like me and you, gen
era!? I told him yes, and then h<
went on to say: ’Well, general
you tell him for me that Ip
ou ;ht not to have hauled dowi
that flag. It won’t do. We tried
that hard for four years, end it's a
bad business; it won't wie.’
Representative Hatch says there
is a good deal of’ point in what the
old vet said.

The planting of pecan trees is increas

gaged in in, and Mr. John T. Jone.*-
says he has fifty acres set out and ii
a thrifty way of growing. These trees
once they get to bearing, continue
sor fiftv year*, perhaps, and bring a
good income, as the nuts are always
in demand.—Fort Gaines Herald.

Mr. Tlionris R. R. Cobb has resign
id the office of president of the Young f (
il l’s Democratic League, ®f Fulton s
Jounty, to which he was recently
* * r
sleeted, to accept the presidency of)
he Evans Campaign Club.
In his letter of resignation he stvs I
I lint he doubts the goe I tasta of re
maining at the Lead of this local ,
erganization, smes he has decided to ’
take a partisan interest in a State r
campaign, between two Democrats.
We regret the step of this bright (
and enthusiastic young Democrat, be '
cause it was unnecessary. There can
be no ground for reasonable criticism
under such circumstances. He could j
have held both positiens with ]
propriety. Should lie have had a qnes
tion about the matter, we say, in ah
solute kindness to our frien ', that he
should not h<vj peimitt d bis ardor
to have caused him to leave the high
er, better and broader path of duty,
to -wit, rendering a service to the cause
;of Dem x-racy, rather than to the in
terests of any individual.
We also regret to observe that he in
j directly charges Mr. Atkinson with re
fleeting on an old soldier, in the for
me! announcement of his candidacy.
' The Commercial is not a slipperier of
Atkinson, but feels that it would neg
lect a plain journalistic duty did it
| permit an unjust charge agains t a
worthy Democrat, to go unchallenged.
Mr, Cobb lias simply misinterpreted
Mr Atkinson’, position That gentle
man has Rot, and would not, reflect
on the sentiment which is so fondly
cherished by Lis people.
We arj convinced that M’-. C >bb is'<
too manly to intentionally mistreat
any gentleman, and we call attention
to the mistake made by him, in orde>
that partisans may not this early st
upon a campaign of thoughtless mi s
rnpresen la. ion, which will surely end
in bitterness and crimination.- At
