I A DUNKEN CONSTBALE, The dispensary law of South Carolina will gain no ground by such tactics as are being carried . on in Charlestiou. It may be all j light and proper for governor Till mail to place his constables in j Charlis’on to raid ail dens that | violate the law. i The law should be enforced and governor Tillman is to be com- ( 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 prohibition law. And when it comes to a man in such a condi tion striking a woman who pre tested against the sacking of her home by the armed constabulary, the blood of all true Carolinians should boil at the glorious tradi tion of the Palmetto State if the} do not resent sush conduct.

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 sentiments,” they just “do their 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 .ast aud all th’ time, and her peo ple and especially her newspapers propose to stir the war record rack et aud by playing on the sentiment of the masses elect u an aged man another generation, the hero o! other day s, to the Governors offic •» They want him, first of all because he is their own—one of their Peachtreest Streeters, and, being of 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 domineering interest ai d dictatoria powers of Atlanta The Evans “war cry” with his democratic record of 30 years inac tivity will not gull the masses—let I the “Atlanta triplets” do their worst- ! f “GENERAL”NORTHENS“WAR 1 The thinking Reubens still keep their fascinated thoughts concen trated upon the Florida frontier, Meanwhile the talented war cor espondent of the Atlauta Consti tution is turning his attention to the paths of peace.—Macon News The Atlanla Constitution re?or' torially lambas's and ridicules Governor Northen about his r»ceut campaign with the eimmy that never came, and then defends and opologizes for him editorially. Sly old coons, those Constitution fellows.—Albany Herald. Our Governor go bold, With his troops we are t«ld, Hied him to the post of danger; They encountered the rain, Then turned home again, wi;hunt loss of life, which is stranger.

Thomas Dixon, Jr, of Now York, in his recent lecture on fools, delivered in Atlanta, pre faced his remarks by paying his respects to Rev. Dr. Hawthorn.

Evans that he is a Christian and an upright mm, will n)t ef fect Ins chances for the guberna torial nomination to any great ex tent, says the Waycross Herald.” As a soldier, as a man and as a Christian, Gen Evans is an ex emplar of manhood of whom any S'ata might well feel pr< ad, of him. The personal character of Mr. Atkinson or of Gen, Evans, how ever, ia not an issue in this cam paign. In selecting a sfandard .bearer to lead it to victory in Os tober the Democarcy of Georgia must. from present indication, choose either Hon, W. Y. Atkin son of Coweta, who represents in this campaign the young, aggres sive and progressive element in the party, which must be depen ded on in the future to win the party’s victorys and to conserve and develope the movement, just beginning which will put the South in the front place in the Union in wealth, influence and foreeful Americanism; or Gen. Evans, on the other hand, who represents ! those glorious memories of 1861 j which will live in the hearts of eur people as long as memory lasts ; and the old school of statesman . and politicians, who have in the ( era es development just passing away done their work so well It is a question of business , arainst sentiment which the Dem . ocratic voters of Georgia must de cide in this contest for the guber . natorial nomination. Ma ly important questions must come up for settlement iu this .State during the time for which the governor will be elected i e;t fall. The most important of these have already been outlined in the Telegraph. It is our opinion that a proper solution of these questions demand that the reins of govern ment should be placed in the hands of that element upon whom the state must depend for h r r future developement. It is the era of the young men and Georgia should, if she expects to keep up with har sister States iu the race for prosperity, recog nize that fact—Macon Telegraph AMONG THE PaINCES. The churches were all well at tended yesterday, and some excel lent sermons were pn ached.—Au gusta News.
