The Breckenridg*-Pollard econ
dle is nKust ating—why not aquar
antine against it.?
Atlanta wants a new deal —and
th* idea now is “anybody to defeat
Atkinson.”
Day by day, the young stater
man from Coweta county is forg
ing t* the front, while hie ancient
oponent. the candidate from At
lanta lags towards the rear.
Uet the fighting democrats gaze
on the Jonahs, as they line up on
the Evans loom, and ‘‘hold ti e
fort’’ for Atkinson will be the
next Governor.
3LIIW . A.L. U.
Size up (he two candidates and
in the name of patriotism and
common sense vote for the best
qualified and best equipped man
of the two for Governor,
The Evansites toil us that, the
entire people of the Stat* are
“spontaneously uprising” for Gen.
Evans and yet they are at work
lik* Turks organizing Evans clubs
all over th« country.
.For several we< ks Tm Hustler
or Rome has waited for Mr. Mey
erhardt to fu-ni«h us the pages in
histfcry which records the bril 11 an S
the oriflt mas career of Rev . C. A
Evan®. We yet wait.
Atkinson will carry Rome by a
larger majority than Jphn D.
Moore did; while Floy d county
is decidedly “more su“ for a practi
cal man against the Atlanta Rings
candidate.
The “boot-licker,’ like a yaller
dog is a privileged individual
without a deck load of character
He runs abroad in the iand and is
only dangerous ‘o lambs. The John
D. Moore ticket is not a lot of
sprii g chickens.
;r.'
Here's a preblem for the Agger
loving, financial editor of the
Morning Jonah to s lve: If the
corn licker veneer pays SI,OOO per
annum ljc< use, what should the
city collect from the “boot-lick
er” triflic, and when does the'
buster’’ get in his work?
Our “devil’says he never leads
Judge Max Meyerh unit's Evans
articles but what he is disappoint
•ed. He explains this by saying
■that it is because Max don't close
by saying “Atlanta papers please
copy." Our devil* won money on
Moore's election and is otherwise
“■level headed."
The Hvsti.xr of Roms thinks
that Colonel Billy Gibbons should
get Max Meyerbardt to go down in
Vtenn’a Malley and organize an Ev
ans Club. Mr, Gibbons says that
be is ths only Evans man in the
Valley, but that's all ths mors
reason why he should get “organ
ized.' Mint that so, Brother Billy?
g ... m.T! -J, i jJ'W
An old “war-cry” and & “cam
paign club,” it was thus that Gea.
Gordon was put upon the people,
and to day we find the same noli
♦tcisins itriving by the u»e of the
same sentiment to pull another 1
“General”—a man of less experi
ence and ability upsn us. But the ’
people are sick of such rot and
will not permit the “Atlanta ring”
t accomplish their design. 1 Mark i

Over each step of the desolate track.

THE OLD HOME PAPER,
111 printed, old fashoned and homely,
Bearing name of a small country town,
With an unfeigned sneer at its wrapper queer’
The postman in scorn throws it down.
But I eon every line that it offers,
Each item brings something to view,
Through the vista of years, of youth s pleas
ures and fears,
And serves theirke n touch to renew.
Tho death of the girl I onee courted,
Tlie growth of the firm 1 once jeered,
The i i e of a friend, whom 1 loved to commend
The fall of a man X revered.
As 1 read I drift dreamily backward,
To days when to live was but joy;
I tliiak and 1 pore, till ‘he city s dnli roar
Grows faint—and agai , I'm a boy.
Rare perfumes of green country by-way«,
Far music of mowers and bees,
And the quaint little town with its street
lea ling down
To the ersek and the low bending, trees.
Around me the forms of my comrades;
About ns, earth’s glories unfurled;
Each heart undefiled, with the faith of a child
Looking forth to a place in the world,
And the paper tells how all have prospered,
I follow their lives as they flow,
Applauding each gain ami regretting each
pain,
For the sake of the days long ago.
Above all the huge city dailies
With penderoßS utterance wise
This scant page hath power o spread out foj

A fairy land swee to mine eyes.

Whero is the boom of

From every section of Floyd*

her recent defeat and swear by a

THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY MARCH 18. 1894.
IN THE WIREGRASS.
In a private lett*r to the editor
of the Georgia Crteker, one of the
most influential and best posted
publicans in South Georgia says:
"When the roll es the delegates to
the gubernatorial aonvention is
made up you will find the Wire
grass in the Atkinson column. We
are leaving the blowing to the
Evans men, but the Atkinson
•rowd are sawing wood and saying
■ ething.” The General visited the
Agricultural Convention iu Bruns
wick and did not ereate any en
thusiasm whatever, and was not
even surrounded by the usual gai g
of toadies and back numbers. Hu
gave out to the press ( hat he would
probably address the convention,
but did nut do so, probably be
cause he received no invitation,”
1 “Paul Jones,” the Boston cluh
man who started out naked and
‘ penniless to girdle the earth in
one year and return to Boston
with $5,000, has struck a snag at
I Springfield, where he has been
i jailed for a debt he contracted be
fore he left the Hub. Mr. Jouen*
by the way, is te have a rival in
his peculiar trip. Miss May Ses
sions, of Boston, announces that
f
she will beat him at his own game
1 She started from Boston on Satur
’ day under pretty much the same
circumstances as those that ex.-
1 vironed Jones, except that she had
on a pocket with $1 in it; and got
as lar as Springfield that night.—

ATLANTA’S MAN.
, '1 ho Constitu ion and the Jour-
c nal are mortal enemies until they
touch Rev. C, A. Evans and then
they get together and slobber over
i each other and fall on each others
[ utek —Whose man is General Ev
, ans?—Hustler or Rome.
Whose man is General Evans?
. Well, judging from the distance
between the Constitution and the
Journal in ail other matters out .
i side of Atlanta and the nearness
of the two papers upon all matters
pertaining directly to Atlanta we
conclude that the General must be
Atlanta's man. —Buchanan Ban
ner-Messenger.
It has been stated that th* new
associat* justice of the supreme
court, Senator White,of Louisiana
i* th* first Roman Catlioli* ever
appointed to this bench. It is re
called, itawever, that Rog*r Brooke
Taney, who presided over the su
preme court for nearly thirty
years, was also a Roman Catholic.
Few people realize the extent
and area of some of our Western
States Why. if the entire popula
tion pf the United State* were
placed in Kansas. Nebraaka and
California, these states would not
bO'*o thickly settled as England is
now. Th us it will be seen that the
Lnited States has plenty of room
to grow and vet have healthy
breathing roum.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
says there are two many McKinley

Miller A. Wright, says the Mar

I’he American flag is good
enough for Mayor Scheinm, of

pies the chair it will take price
dence above all others.
Even the Atlanta Gonstitutien
two years ago showered praito

for his magnificent services in l>« -
half of Georgia democracy. Never
a word did it utter thru in m n

THE RICE FOR GOVKSIVOR
'l’ue reports received by us from
nearly every portion of Troup county
indicate a steady advance m veinent

was present lie spoke fox' two hours
and charged that the “Atlanta ring"
is fighting Lixn.“ Surely, this bigpoli
ticial sheet has lost all its conscience
and intends to deceive tho people by
lyiig. A more manly, k’g c d and
txutLiul speech nc\er was wade by
ax: y one tlnux Col, Atkinson last

Ba xley Banner.
Gen. Evans is too good a man to be
butehen xny pelitics the Atlanta
peliticm-s. —Dublin Bosi.
The more the people of Georgia
see and know of Mr. Atkinson the
“stronger wiii ms cxndidaey become
and the worthier will they deem him
for the Lonorebie position to which
he aspires ■ He is a man of brains, he
is a man of affairs. He is familiar with
public affairs and with those econom
ic and political questions which are
vitally important to our welfare and
prosperity. He was too young to do
service for (A ergia upon the field of
battle ,but in those great victories es
peace, na less renown than war, he
has been a brilliant and conspicuous
fighter- Ail of i.’iese things, added to
a high and honorable cha a ter, emi
nently lit him lor the governorship of
the South’s Empire State —Millen
Hexald.
The Augusta Chronicle says that
Gen. Evans' letter to the Methodist
ministers '‘was prompted by a preper
sense of responsibility to hi* cliurah
and a desire not to occupy a false po
sit-ion on the mind of any of his min
isters.” Will the Chronicle please tell
what prompted the letter to the school
boards throughout the state, or shall
we acc*pt the able expc»e of Mr.
White of Rockdale?—Georgia Crack
er.
AMON« THE PaXINCES.
Editor Ham, of the Georgia Jrack

ton reminds hitu of the old negro

“Bredrcn, dar am jest two roads
