eult was that about 50 men and Loys'
soon gathered to tender tbsir alv e

it back on the track. Finally a dozen
strong men lit into the job and with
their combined efforts an 1 the use
of the trolley, soon had the wheels
back on the trail.

Then it was, that one of the lifters,
a stalwart negro man who was bound
for North Rome and who had wot
caressed a nickle since the “ Waycross
war’’ hopped onto the rear platform
and remarked “I’ze wid yer huny,
and Ize gwin ter ride yer till I swets.”
I will bet that President Jack King
transported that keon to the suburb
of Timbuctoo for nothing.

about Judge Joel Branham: "An At

the paragraph and asked w hich is the
west ond of a boy?” to this Judge
Branham promptly responded: “"Why

A WRONG IMPRESSION,
WI BELIEVED IT THEN BLT TIIIXK DIFF: -
RBNTLY MOW.
A few weeks ago wo sta'ei through
the columns of the Bunner- Messei ger
that personally we favered Mr. .At
kinson for governor, but thought it a
foregone conclusion th: t General E
- would be the next governor o
Georgia,
The Evans papers of the state, we
1 notice, have bei n using this as cam
paign matter, leaving off that we were
personally in favor of Mr. Atkinson.
At the time we made the above
statement it was our purpose to vote
for Mr.. Atkinson, though it was our
c mdid opinion, at that time, we would
lose oui vote, for we believed General
Evans would be the next governor of
Georgia.
We are happy to state at this
time, however, that we think quite
differently now, andthat we feel very
sanguine over the election of Hen.
W. Y. Atkinson, of Coweta, to the
high and exalted position of governor
of the state of Georgia in the next
gubernatorial election.
We honor General Evans for his
daring deeds of bravery when the na -
tions were strugling in bloody war
and sought to conquer the enemy by
the use of the cartridge box, but we
honor Mr. Atkinson more, who
sought both, in state and national
elections, to wipe out the enemy by
the use of the ballot b*x, which we
dare say, he succeeded in doing, as
no other man in the state could have
done.
We honor General Evans for his
piety and his dovotion to the cause
of Christianity which he has been
so faithfully battling for the past
quarter of a century, we honor Mr.
Atkinson for the nobility of his man
hood, having risen from the plow
furrow; a poor orphan boy, to be
honored by those who know him best
abeve those whose opportunities ha e
been as far superior to his as he is
far superior to them now.—Bucl an
narj Banner-Messenger.
The above shows how the tables are
turning. Editor Nix publish® ene of
the best weekly papers in tte state
and its influence in its county is al
ways most telling for the cause be
advocates.
He is a safe, conservative citizi n
and as a cool headed editor rightly
interpreted the signs of the time*
His exchange list of Georgia papers
has convinced him that the prema uret
boom was only a sentimental buble
and is fast "quivering to bust," be
fore the practical demand of a people
made practicle by the stress of time*
and need of legislature.
A STARTLING PLATFORM.
Editor Hustler of Rome:
The following is a platform for
economy:
1. Let the clerk be clerk and
treasurer, salary per year SI,OOO.
2. Let the mayor be mayor and
recorder, salary SSOO.
3. Reduce the policemen’s salary
per mouth to $45
4. Curtail the police force two
less than present number.
5. Reduee ouncilmen iu pro
portion to the above scale and all
other officials of the city likewise.
6. Let the contracts out to the
lowest responsible bidder.
7. We favor a reduction of the
street tax to $2 00. Where money
can't be paid I favor three days
in lieu of 15 days as it now stands.
8. We think the fire companies
expenses ought to be reduced,
L. Lytle.
FOR ALDERMAN.
I hereby announce myself a
candidate for aiderman from the
Fifth Ward of the city of Rome
If elected I pledge myself te dis
charge my duties to the best of my
ability, irrespective of party
favoritism or nationality, with
equeal rights to all, and special
favors to none. I promise you the
above and ask you to vote for me.
If it should be insisted that I was
not born in Georgia, I will say in
reply that it was not my fault. If I
could have had my choice, I would
have been born iu Georgia. Never
theless, lam here with you as a
matter of choice. Let Rome rise or
tall, I am with her, All that I have
is hers. Whatever is her destiny
