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 1 ‘j I '/ w “ lin g to accept the of -1 th » people , odeßire< ln tbe bgft 11 ' ’ rallou of th,j K r ’at love he o,a rs them.

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 News.

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.
