General Evans is a little disfig ured but still in the —“Atlanta Ring” The political “Jona’ s'’ of Floyd are in the Evans camp doing noth ing but spontanea. Rome welcomes her visitors to day and cordially invites them to return early md often. Considering the former citize: - •hip of the Reverend Evans, his reception in Roma was a very tame affair.

The number of men withdrawn from industry to tane part in the civil war on the union side was 2,_ 772,408; the confederates enlisted over 600,000. Russia spends 225 000 rubles a year on the army and 40,000,000 on the navy. A silver ruble is worth nearly 75 cents, a paper ru file about 50 cents. The few- Evans people who mst the General Saturday afternoon when his “special” came in, joined the Atkinson men present, in wondering where the Evans Club was “at.” We assure Rome's visitors that “the other passenger depots 1 of the city are more elegant iban at the one you elighted. The road you came over should be ashamed of its self and do better. The Constitution is now uri iog the Journal to quit the Evans ranks. If Evans lived any where cls», save en Peachtree Street in Atlanta, the Journal would have courage enough to fight him . General Evans will never ke nominated, but in case he should be his friends know that there ia, one daily paper in Rome that votes for the nominee. And it’s Thk Hustler of Rome and not the “morning Jonah.” Hon. A. O. Bacon of Macon has entered the race for United States ■eaator. Maj. Bacon ia a staunch Democrat, and stands squarely on the Chicago platform. Georgia would do well io honor him with ithe senatorship.—West Georgia News.

I In the Athens debate, says the Augusla Chronicle, General Evans as good as lost the conclusion, to which he was invited. Mr. Atkin son before closing, asked General Ev ns a number of questions, and 1 then eat down, and had ths su preme satisfaction of seeing the Reverend walk into the trap and consume his most precious 20 minutes in answering those ques tions. The Hustler of Rome fails to see how the Atlanta Journal can I swallow General Evans while hs roosts on the silver plank of “16 to 1.” How much longer will this thing go on —this Journal and , Constitution agreeing on a man , who has expressed decided “sil ver views.” The Tribune never lets an op . portunity pass to deal Sheriff Jake i C. Moore a blow. But then Jake is such a good combination man that he stands ready to meet them on a platform of ‘free trade, 1 “reci r procity” “protection* I —“self pro , lection,“ protection for revenue only 11 or “egg bustin,“Lot the Tri bune make its choice and Jake will make it mighty interesting.— Its away he has.

MAX “SLIPS” HIS “MUZZLE ” Mr. Max Meyerhardt, the papa of the Max Meyerhardt Evane Club of Rome, after fretting in hie “muzzle for a 'wrtnight, has “slip ped” the gsg ana in all his rhetor ic attempts to stir the passions of the brave old soldiers who fought in the trenches and bore the bur dens of war. Here’s a cup from hie last back et of slush : “Aud then the final catastrophe at Appommattox, when Lee’s thinned and war-worn battallalions—the few’ survivors of his heroic legions—laid down their arms forever! Iu all thssq scenes none fought more valaiatly or struggled more heroically or suffered more patiently than Clem ent A. Evans.” Every man in Floyd county honors General Evans for his war record, at the same time permit us to put it a little differently and in language that conveys a deal more truth because it embraces more of the brave old heroes : “In all these scense” General Evans did not fight “more violently, ar struggle more heroically, or suffer more patiently than thousands aud thousands of the sturdy privates Aud most of these wool hat boys' have been fighting democracys battle ever since—has General Evans?

Charged With Perjury, From the Evidence They Are Being Pe. iecutkd Instead of Prosecuted . Birmingham, Ala., March 25. A case which is of more than ordina ry interest toGecrgians, in that it in volves the character of many cf Romq Ga ,‘s well known citizens, is on trial in the federal court here and has been for a week. On Monday, October 31, 1892, an express train was Held up and robbed of a lot of money and valuables near Piedmont, Ala, Jeff Harrison, -Jim Brown, Dick Harrison and several others from Rome, Ga., were arrested, charged with the robbery. At the trial here last year, they were convicted, some of the gang having turned state’s evidence to wards the close of the trial. During the trial parties from Rome swore that Jeff Harrison was in that city on Saturday, October 29th. The witness ' • who turned state’s eviderce swore that Jeff Harrison was’n Jim Brown’s houKe in Leesburg, thirty-eight miles distant, on the same day, and at the same hour the Rome wi nesses swore he was in Rome. Harrison aud the other defend ants were convicted. Harrison was given a life sentence Jim Brown aud ? Dick Hatriso", the informants got off light, Brown 1 e ng sent to Animosa tor a term, and young Harrison, wl o is now only sixteen yeais old, being sent to a reform school at Washing ton. After the conviction of the alleged robbers indictments were gotten against the Rome Ga. deponents, who are all men of character and standing charging them with perjury. The fol lowing are the gentlemen who are defendants in the perjury cases: James T.
