On the wrong side of the IV ater -1)0, we fear.—Spring Place Dimple cheeks. Your fears are Evanscent. We an on the sideXliat helped ‘ Our John”— the side that has increased the Con federate pension ro'ls of Ge r -ia to three times the amount of the rolls of any other State in the south.— Chat's where “Birdie” is “Hustling,’’ Where was Evans in the last fight?— Hustler of Rome . Evanscent, effervescent, squiutes cent, or what-not, Filbert, you are in an interesting minority so far as the governorship is concerned. Like yoursel’ we are on the side that help fl ‘ Our John,’’ and expect to do it again As to Evans in the last fight, he did as much as any other private citizen. Your Plumed Knight of Ant' Confederate Home notoriety did no more than was his duty as chairman of the Suite Central Democrotio Com mittee. Where was Atkinson in the sixties?—toddling around his mother.? knee, eatin’ mush and milk out of a silver spoon, destined to oppose her gallant defender for the high office of Governor of Georgia! It wool 1 be the noblest act of Bill Atkinson’s, al read} bright, career to come out of the race aid kav > this ga’lant old mi arch of the confederacy a clean field. You are barking up the wrong tree, brother, when you yelp for the other man.— Spring Place Dimplecheeks. Atkinson may not have done mon than his-duty—,if he did that much he did a long shot more than your At lanta Ring candidate. The voice of Evaus has not been raised m behalf of Democrats} since the war—again we ask you wheie he was in the fight of '92. when I) mocrats w*ne fighting an enemy whose strength was mask ed? Little Bill}' Atkinson may have had “mush and milk” and ev' ii a “silver spo in” “in the sixties an i he was not only destined to oppose’ out to be the choice of the aggies, sive, practical Democrats-. Oyer. Among the defender’s followers ihere ate thousands of the folio - ers of your gallant old defender I'iiey, like the young Democrats honor and revere the heroes of the “Lost Cause” but are facing new dangers and will not permit, asm timeul to lead th m astray when duty calls, Suppose when General Evans was about to r< ceive bis last pro motion some brave private had clatnjred for the office—even though the private was brave and true the army would have rebelled ai the proposition. Would it have been brilliant for General Evans, •’• for the good of his followers, had some aged com mander of the old Indian wars t-tepped forward and sought to sup. plant him in that last promotion. The Stale of Georgia needs a man of energy and ability in her chief executive —She needs just' such a man as W. Y. Atkinson— a man who has come up from the ranks, fitting himself for the ro sponsible position by filing all inteim-diare offices —Just as Gen era Ev n» worked up to the rank of Ge leral. Atkinson is n t too young for the place —he is seven years young er than Evaus was won the war closed,and in the past seven rear* he has d' n more tor the disab'ed 1 and needy Confederate veterans than General Evans has siuci th battle of Appomattox—for proof read the history of Georgia. General Evans is a good man, but lias recieved many honors from the wars in which he has fought. Hi should r und up his years, ar.d in his old age be found encouraging tla< young men of G o gia who are labor ing for the good of their State. Let him say to the Atlanta Ring “ I will not be your tool, for I love a’l Georgia and all Georgia is lai ger than Atlanta. I will not stir upe'e en tion and strife in the democratic party by seeking an office that thou sands of others deserve over me.” The wool hat boys want no “Mon arch” and if they di 1 they would not go to the Atlanta gang and ask for a man of a generation ago— even 4 an old monarch of the Confederacy ” Go down to Peachtree Street, Hartsell and get you some argument you need it bad. You are effervesc ntly Evansescent. AMONG THE PMNCES. Editor Byrd, so it is rumored, is oiug to write a paragraph darning the Etowah'—Albany Herald. We could come nearer darning the rumor; as for the Etowhah, it flows on forever—though it is the only thiug on earth we want to sec darned. o The Hustler of Rome in one of the most enthusiastic Atkinson papers in the State. Editor Byrd is a good square fighter, and bi? plucks is admirable, whatever may be said of hie judgement in this particular instrauci. —Atlau- taCommerical. Brother Blackburn, knowing as he does the democratic, record of the two candidates, would not find fault with our ‘ judgement” if he lived outside of Atlanta. Surely because his own services were ■"lighted and lets deserving men were rewarded over him, he does no. waul a brihaut comrade “sal upon.” Be as it may the demo cracy of Georgia want Atkinson and will elect him. ‘‘Mark that predion. ” ——o The beauty of Corbett’s long reach is that he reached out and got about $150,000 in 9 minutes.— Albany Herald, Yes and besides kept out of the two Governors “Generals” and two nebilized arms. o “Twenty five dollars to witness a fifteen minutes’ brutal prize fight is agr t waste of money,’ Gover nor Northen is reported to have said Twenty-live hundred d fi lers to keep off a fight that was never intended to be fought on Georgia soil, is also rather expeu ive.—Griffin News and Suu.

STATE POLITICS. Au effort is being made to get Hon. E J Reagan, <»f Henry, to run for congress. He would make a congressman worth a hundred of Cabaniss Re gau is a democrat. Hales Weekly. Col. Piaasant A. Stovall is sure that Cii ith mi is for Evans. Edi tor D) »hm says the go>ds won’t be delivered that way.—Griffin News and Suu. Tins idea that S »uth Georgia has no talent, or that all Georgia lies north of Maou won’t do. We are willing that North Georgia may have the governor, as they have ever since the days of Troup, but we claim the seuatorship for South Georgia.—M o n t go m e ry Monitor. Senator Colquitt may or may not be a candidate to succeed him- se’f. If he should be in the rac , < u i'ess public sentiment in th s state undergoes a decid- d ch ine , 1 we think he will be left.— 1 hoi - i aston Times. The most corrupt political ring t it eve • existed iu Georgia had. h idq arters at Kirkwood, a few j y. ars ago and was composed of men who virtually lived in Atian ta. We see iu the present movr mmtsofthe Atlanta politicians iu regard to Senator and Governor a similarity of the movements of the same old ring. As before, the people will crush it. The defeat iu the Mississippi legislature of the preposition to establish a Confederate So’diers’ Hume had two remarkable fea tu’es. The antis were led by a distinguished Soldier, and ev ry colored member of the legislature voted for the bill. PURELY POLITICAL. It is stated, in behalf of Senator Gordon, that he has lost no time from the senate on account of his lectures. Most of his lectures are delivered daring the last of the week, when the senate is not in ses sion . —Athens Banner. There may be among us who opine, that a man of the same horse power of General Gordon might work 21 hours every day in the year and still not do more than half rep resent a state and earn a Senator’s salary. It begins to loots this way: A. F, Colquitt, United States senate ; G n. Evans governor; W. A. Little, supreme court judge; Mr. Moses congressman—well, we know son e more, but that is enough for the present. West Georgia News. You don’t know a word of your lesson—and when you have said it you will be “foot.” “Mark that pre diction . ” ATKINSON FOR GOVERNOR. In this section we find the Wal ton News, the Lithonia New Era, the Henry County Weekly and this pa per all for Atkinson •It seems that the country press, at least, is not for the Atlanta candidate. —Hales Week ly • With dae respect to General Evarc, we fail to understand how a man who is physically unable to perform pas torial work can hope to stand the strain of the responsible and unceas ing duties that devolve upon the chief executive of Georgia.—Milldgi ville Chronicle. It has been charged that those who favor Mr. Atkinson are politi cians This charge comes with poor grace from men who have been stand ing candidate. 1 | r office ever since the war, but wuo have so far escaped being struck with congressional lightning. —Lawrenceville News. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson has n any friends here who will faithfully fight his political battles at the right time. He is able, conservative and would make a first-class governor.—Bax'ey Banner. IN CRACKERDOM. A war is raging in Waynesboro on the dancing question. The ministers and most of the old peo ple have inaugurated a causade against this fascicinaiing amuse ment and the young people are al most a unit in favor of the de> ight fu! polka and fascinating waltz- Athens Banner. The sixth annul Session of the Georgia Chautauqua w.ll he the biggest advertisement Southwest Georgia ever had, —Albany II raid. A citizen of this county recently became the father of a fine boy and sent the following order to a Spring Place merchant: “Dear Jack: Please send me a sack of flour —:ny wife had a baby last night, 1 pound of 10 penny nails, a crosscut saw and a claw-hammer -it weighed 10 pounds, a gallon of oil and a wool hat.”—Spr ug Place Jimplecute, The opinion of the State Agri cultural Department is that the sales of fertilizers ia Georgia will be as large this year as last. Last year the total sales were 320,000 tons.—Griffin News and Sun. GEORGIA’S MODERN “GEN’L”|’ The Savannah Press says; Gov ernor North’n is the second chief 1 tx tciilive of Georgia to place him self in comma' dot the state troops and lend them against an enemy In 1825 Governor Troup put him self in the saddle and marched at t head of il e military again t t * Indains. I; Governor Nortl.ep thought he would ‘ Play the wild” he certain ly <‘id it by getting into the swamp —Albany Herald. There was a teniable effort, seem mgly, made to suppress two very mdiuary galloots who wanted to have a little I oxing match at Jack sonville yesterday. Guv. Mitchell of Florida, ordered out the state militia, aud governor Northe 1 , with tremenduuus flourish ot trumpets, hied himself away to lie Southern border of this state to prevent the mill ou Georgia soil. The two governors ar« of a gingercake variety. Prize fighting is a beastly form of amusement, but if a couple of bullies want to pummel each other a little can’t ■ eriffsand policemen attend to them without the aid of the gov ernor? —Pike County Journal The secret is out. The threat to have the prize fight in Georgia was only a ruse to carry Gov. No them to the Florida border in order that there might be a chicken fight in Cobb county; but it didn’t work.—Augusta Herald. Gov. Northen is an excellent gen tleman and a good governor, and the name can be said of Gov, Mitchel J but di es it not appear that they have made too mu ch of this Corbett Mitch ell contest? The prize fighters do “not intend to kifi each other, and the ro ighs and toughs who follow in their wale and the fine gentlemen who are anxious to sae the contest between the Englishman and the American, have no purpose of doing anybody any harm. They don't pro pose to shed blood, or bum anyb idy ’s ouildings, ®r steal anybodj’s pro; ■»! tv. It would seem, therefore, as if the occassion wao not one, for massing the tro ps of two Slates and startlii g the people with the idea that a bloody war is upon them.—Savannah News. * NOTICE TO WATER CONSUM ERS Water tax for the Fourth Quarter is now past due.
