Northen ewle'orated the thirty-third anni veraary of their marriage last w«ek. The day was spent quietly >t the mansion, but very happi'y. The Constitution’s report of the joint debate at Hawkinsville on yes terday says about 2,000 people heard the speakers and that “the applause Was about equally divided ’ That means two to one for Atkinson. General Evans' assault on North ern men who own papers in Georgia and who oppose bis candidacy is not in keeping with his reputation for broad mindedness, >or will it hurl the Northerners. Now let papa Max. of the Moy erhardt Evans Club of Koine, call the club together and endorse the General's views on the Atlanta- Soldiers- II • me- I’o r- II ouse Scheme. Air.

In that State a girl 12 and a boy of 14 may be legally married if they obtain the consent of their parents. The Transcript declares that Italian ebildren are frequently married under th* pro visions of the law. The Augusta Chroaicle rises to assert most positively that the report that Mr. Atkinson claims to h>iv« dug the Suez Canal is absolutely without foundation.—Griffin Call. Ami y»t the democrats of Georgia ein come as near proving that Atkin aur, n ,-t only dug the can*!, b«t that he built tl.

EVANS. NOT IN IT. The coureoeus of opinion seeim to be that Gen’ Evans has gottei decidedly the beet of his oppo nent in these debates. It is clairu »d as a foregone conclusion tbai he will carry ever}’ county in which a debate has taken plac~ Many who had been duped by th» siilj’ tales set a float to injure Gen. Evans found the error of theii way and straightway sigmfie their determination to join in making him the next governor of Georgia.—Macou News. Now that dusettlehit ! If Gen eral Evans, who has 100 counties and more thnu 100 newspapers has gotten the best of any joint debate the reporters for the Evans papers have mads a decidedly poor effort in sho-wing it. A* to “foregone concluions,” we speak for Floyd, and assure broth er Hal Moore that this county al wei stands by a man who stands by his party, and as we formed Atkinsons acquaintance while he was fighting for the party, aud en ly met General Evans in the arena of politics when he wanted some thing for himself, we assure him and especially bis relatives iu the newspaper field, that “the General flint in it in this section.” Let ; h’joint debate# be had iu every e >uuty iu the state before the campaign closes. AIK 1 NEON'S STRENGTH. • If Gen. Evans is the spontaneous choice of the people for governor why all this ado by hia friends? If the people be for General Evans who can be against him? Why don't bis friends go home and keep quiet; why all this organizing of Evans clubs all over the state? The veiy actions of the General’s friends belie their words. All this hurrah and go on is for the purpose of muzzling public opinion and deceiving the people. The two men are on equal footing —both aspirants for gubernatorial honors, and the case is before the en tire state of Georgia for arbitration. The people will render their verdict according to the merits or the respec tive candidates. It is clearly a case of bulldozing, but that kind of po itical warfare is out of date, It seems to us that it is aonsense of a very cheap variety, to go to all this trouble of organizing clubs and blustering about to defeat a man that has uo following anyway. But the very fact that this is done is a confes sion of tbe strength of Atkinson.— Calhoun Yahoo. THE HUSTLER OF ROME. FRIDAY MARCH 30. 1894 THAT IMIXIEL LETTER. Mr. Atkinson in bi* speech it Rome asked General Evans if he (Gsnersl Evans) didn’t receive x letter asking h in to make a speech in behalf of democracy in Emanuel county during the c*tn paigN of 1894, to which letter an answer was ssnt declining ths invitation on the ground that his ministerial duties prevented him doing so. General Evans made ne reply ind silence is generally takrni for an affirmative answer. If General Svans as a minister can speak in n s own behalf now why could’nt he done so in 1892? —Athens Ban ner. -J.J « X BI T ONE SM'F F TAKING SENA TOR. Many years ago, when ths ven rable Captain Bassett of the sen ate was a youth, he was directed ro place a snuff-box in each of the -mal l recesses of the rear wail of the chamber to the right and left of the vice president and to keep ihem filled for ths Clays. Webster* and other senators of the old ■chool were habitual snuff taker*-. The snuff boxes remain as a re minder of the times and habits cf senators who made history. But hey are seldom filled, as Mr. George, of Mississippi, is the only •■eoator who uses snuff. —Detroit Free Press. iMONf THI PRIMCES. On the gravestone of Col. Breck inridge's late wife are the words: ‘ The most important business of my life is love,’ —As Phil Byrd would say, ha is a sentimental old kuss. —Macon Bee. Yes, and for about three weeks ’we've been thinking’ of tin enormous sales that await Breck inridge* son or an obituary and strange to say we can think of bc more brilliant a pen for the j-*l han “Lee Langley’s Lead.” o The Cedartown Standard says R W.

SPARKS FROM GEORGIA. The town of Dawson is building up A number of new enterprises will probably be established there. ft is rumored that a company of western capitalist have offered S2OO, 000 for the farm of Hon. James H, Smith in Oglethrope and Madiesa counties. This does not include any of the fine stock on the place. McDonough's cotton receipt for the past season is smnsthing over six thousand bales, against between four and five thousand last season. It is estimated the number of bales pro duced in Henry county last year was twenty-five or thirty thousand . A man sued Newton county for sl, 000 becauss his buggy was turned evsr on Wood’s bridge, throwing his family in the river Tbe county com missioners settled the suit by paying him S6O. The humbug of Chinese Sunday schools are getting shown up pretty clearly. In Chicago the s’ant-eyed Mongols made love so persistently to the young lady teachers that the classes were put in charge of discreet matrons Iu New Haven the Chinese have boycotted the Sunday school which they athnled simp’y because a police sergeant whose wife was a teacher raided one of their gambling houses and arrested over sixty fantan players.—Macon News. If Gen. Evans i J o guileless that he would not recogniza ring if he fennd it in the middle of a road { as he. claims, the he is too innocent for gov enieor.
