\Va called attention last S.UMiiajj
to the uiigerdPd admission in Mr.
Fleming s card that h® was already
committed to Gen. Evans long be
fore the legislature met last fall,
thereby proving the unsoundness
of the claim so vigorously pro
claimed that his candidacy wae
spontaneous uprising of the pMAti
p|p. Col. Sid Lewis, of the Sparta
Ishmael ite, one of the strongest
and brightest writers on the Ge<>»
gia press, takes up the subj c and
unmistakably in terse,
plain English the hollowness of
the "spontaneous movement 4 * in
favor es Gen. Evans 1 candidacy,
find shows that it has been engin
eered with a political shrewdness
which will compare favorably with
anything of the kind on record.
Here is what he says;
The notion that Gen. Evans is
a candidate for go’ ernor, net be
cause be wan to t lie c flics, but iu
response to a spontaneous, unex
pected and unsolicited on
the part of the people of the State
has taken considerable hold of the
papors that are working to secure
his nomination. If v. hat they
claim is true, there vreuld, of
course be no reason forixpending
inch an immense amount of ener
gy in work mg up artificial enthu
siasm for the gentleman. Kh«r®
there is a general, enthusiastic,
ipontaneau #, popular movement
in the interest of any man’s nomi
naticD, there will be no need of
campaign clubs, campaign paper*
circular letters, house to house
canvasses and urgent appeals to
induce the masses to look with fa
vor on his candidacy and to act as
if they felt some real enthusiasm
in the premises.
she Ishmaelite, baa for some
time been of the opinion that the
Evans boom for governor is pu r s!y
artificial. It was at first, inclined
to ihe opinion that there was a
pretty extessire call for General
Evans on the part of his persot a!
friends and some others w ho knew
°f him. to lead the party in ths
coming campaign.
h did not suppose, however, that
this call had been worked up by
himielf. It did not suppest that
that he had "taken time by the
forelock, and entered upon tl e
work of committing his personal
fnends to a "spontaneous” upns
lnß in big interest, long before
one eige had begun to drqam
n possibilities in that direc
tion.
Ihe I’hmealite was the more
•aduy taken in, all that, for the
that the general, ever since
11 red upon active campaign-
C,ha ß not failed to make the
* s etn * nt that he has no special
eeir o to be governor, butthat he

‘‘Gen p ’ OCCUrs this statement:
‘ V!lDß i»my personal friend
and I had promised him my sup
port long befor Mr. Atkinson, with
out Ihe slightest solicitation on
my part, honered me with the
chairmanship of the finance com
mittee, and I am’constitionally
poaed to breaking my promise or
deserting my friends.”
It will be seen from that, state
ment that Gen. Evans was not a?
gru’ly sn; prised by the mention of
his name in connection with the nom
’ina' te*. as <he affected to 1»® aft«r his
candidacy was fully developed: It
will be- Meeh that he was a<,
fer thc position before-'the hut legist
latase was organized. ; It will be seer,
that he was canvassing for support
i'l.the race which he is making, and
that he had secured the promise of
Fleming’s support months and month#
before *Le thoughts of the people and
.of the papers had begun to bi s
themselves about the gubernatorial
succession.
This statement of lit Flemming is
extremely suggestive. In the light of
it, bow are wa to understand the
assertion of Gen. Evans that, he really
Jossnt caie for the office, but that
he its just going to take it to gratify
the people? Is it not a little strange
that the man who deien’t want uu
■ ffice should be soliciting the support
of his frit nls for it more than a year
before the disposal of tfe office could
be an issue in the State? And what
becomes of the prpular uprising,
groundsweP, boom, sj ntaneous call
and all that, i 1 view of the Fleming
revelation?
All this forces the Ishmaalites to
tbe conclusion that Gen. Evans is
not dealing as candidly with tbe
Democratic masses in this matter as
was to have been expected of him •
It is better to deal openly and urn e
reivedly with the people.—Griffiin

J( HN BOWBR’S KITCBEN.
The storm of yesterday after
noon was, provincially speaking,
•‘a trash mover.” Its fury was
retched between 4 and 5 o clock
in the afternoon and so dense
were the clouds, for a while, that
one could not see to read even eul
on a verandah
Peal on peal of heaven’s heavy
artillery went rolling across the
upper battlements while now and
occasionly a vivid flash and a
rattling report came nearer earth
—and the nervous—felt real kree
py, See?
One of tbe flashes entered the
earth through the kitehen of the
residence, of Mr, John Bowere, of
East Rome. A small hole was torn
in the roof but no serious damage
was werked on the kitchep furui-x
ture.
While reports received in ths
city this forenoon, show the storm
to have been rather local ia extent
of territory, no casualties have
beea reported. ’
