mended in his -fforis toacforceit.
But he should be vety c;-r ful
about who be sends out as const a- i
ble. i
It is a reduclous thing for a
diunken, constable to execute a

comes to a man in such a condi
tion striking a woman who pre
tested against the sacking of her

the blood of all true Carolinians
should boil at the glorious tradi

THE ATLANTA TRIPLETS. ’
The Atlanta Cormmercial. the
youngest and the brightest of the
Atlanta dailies comes out B with a
paragraph like this:
‘lt is both gratifying an 1 ar.uie
iug to seethe three dailies of At
lanta pooling issues on the guber
natorial race.”
Then the A’ anta Journal, of the
g< Id burg persuasion, who fight
W. Y. Atkinson became auAtlauta
lawyer'i-ays Atkiusion named Bill
G'ennia b au Anti —stration demo
crat, says this paragraff:
“Mr. Atkinson will have to re
sort to bill-posting to let the peo
ple know that he is in the race for
governor. They will U-V«r find it
out from the newspapers.”
But they dout stop here, for the
Atlanta Commerical, clainiugjto.be
the “most fearless” and “most
truthfullesl” organ in the “Harry
Hill City” comes back like this:
“The weekly press is spilt in
iwaiu on the gubernatorial fight.
11 is hard to say which candidate
nae the strongest support from this
quarter.”
In the meantime the Conetiution
the most aretrageoely Anti —ad-
minstration paper in the “Solid
South,” picks up General Evans
and, dirpite the lact that he gulps
down the ringing announcement of
W. Y. Atkinson, says “theme my

doggondest’’ to take his little boom
away fn»m the Journal and Com
mercial and run away with it.
The truth of the whole business
is that Atlanta is for Atlanta, first

another generation, the hero o!

They want him, first of all because
he is their own—one of their

them, will do their biddings.
Another reason is, W. Y. Atkinson
the brave young Commoner, and the
champion of the rights of the Georgia
masses, out side of Atlanta, must be
side tracked. He is dangerous to the

demand that the reins of govern

of that element upon whom the

NEW BANK FOR BRUNSWICK
Tub First National ip to be Merge ,
Into a New Concern,
Brunswick, Ga., January 30
For some time past negotiations hav e
been going on with a view to reorgan
izing the First National bank, O s
Brunswick, Which closed its doers
about one year ago. It is stated to
night that an agreement has been
roached between H.W.Reed, of Way
- represening.foreign capital, and
the creditors of the First National
whereby Mr. Reed w 11 assume the li
abilities of the bank and pay them
dollar for dollar.
It is also stated that the large ssr
plus which would undoubtedly accrue
t > the shareholders of the First Na
tional will be used to increase the cap
ital of the new bank, which will be
known as the Brunswick National
bank.
All arrangements have been perfect
ed for the n. w bank to open on
March Ist, and while every creditor
of the First National has felt certain
of the payment of his claims, this ar
rangement insurea full payment at ai
e arlier date than could be had through
a receiver, and it is gratifying te all
concerned. Colonel W. E. Kay and
W. E. Burbage, prominent members
of the reorganization committee, will
join Mr. Reed in Washington this
week to arrange with the comptroller
for the change.
