LIBERTINE, LIFE AND LIBERTY
So far as the two la'ter apply to
the former,they are forever guaran
teed him, in the county of Floyd >
so far as the courts are concerned
The Libertine is a gay fellow at
heart, no matter if his eyes wear a
sad expression or his mustache
droop with seeming modesty.
He is a privileged character too,
and when he bends his angelic
gaze on a woman it behooves her
male relatives and protectors to
tight him with spy glasses and
• ong range rifles —from afar.
For the courts of Flovd will
protect him—have they not said
it?
Besides being gay-hearted, the
libertine has relatives, who, rather
than suffer the disgrace of his
conviction, will turn loose their
c isb to save him to the earth—even
to the “society” of e»rth.
So when the libertine turns to a
woman, let her friends, either
abandon her to her fate, or smite
him down like a dog aud crush
him like the seroent that he is—
for should he decide that he wants
her male protector “removed” the
court,of Floyd have said he has a
right to “remove” such au obsta
cle.
And when you go to fight the
white livered traitor, remember
the fate of Free Stephens and see
to it that he has not had access to
your pistol,for the libertine,though
gay-hearted, has as much coward
ice in his soul as he has lust in his
eye.
Though he wears the form of a
man he is a serpent, and if you love
your wcmei, remember the law
will not protect them, and if you are
a man you must, so slay him the mo
ment you catch him lurking near the
haunts of your loved ones—your jew
els
God gives you a right to self pro
ection, and if the honor of mither,
wife sistei or daughter is dearer than
life, then protect it—and knowing, as
you do, that the law extends not the
protection it nromises, you are to be
doubly on guard to save them.
If in the discharge of this, duty to
those dependent upon you, your
courage wavers, remember that mur
derers are never hung in Floyd coun
ty, and therefore the slayer of ser
pents will hardly be arranged in the
courts.
ANOTHER ATKINSON CONVERT.
We have been slow to take posi
tion in the gubernatorial race for
several reasons. Having not been
long a resident m this part of the
State our acquaintance with Mr.
Atkinson was limited, and from
previous associations we felt kind,
ly disposed toward Gen, Evans,
though we are free to confess there
are other men in the State we
would have preferred to either,
After watching the progress of the
campaign, however, aud becom
ing better acquainted with Mr. At
kinsou, and his character and
ability, we are free to say that Mr
Atkinson is fully qualified to fill
the iflice of governor. His legis
lative training has been such that
he is thoroughly acquainted with
all current matters affecting the
interests of the State, while his
ability has been made manifest in
his speeches and his successful
career. All these things being
true, we admit that his distin
guished services to his party com
mend him to the respect, gratitude
Rud support of the party. —Carroll
County Times.
"Bab,” Writing of a bride and
groom says: “Although he says he
don’t think she ought to talk bo
loud, she has him for the time be
ing under sueh control that he
don’t even dare say that his soul
is his own.” It “do not” strike us
that either of them should talk at
all unless better grammar than
“Bab’s” is used.
Col. Atkinson appears to ha\e
dropped some of his prominence
since the cessation of the joint de
bates. —Brunswick Times.
Yes? But really, now, tell us
where General Evans has dropped
to since Mr. Atkinson was denied
the privilege of drawing audiences
for the Atlanta man, who has
uothiug to run on but a war rec
>rd.
THE HUSTLER OF ROME, THURSDAY APRIL 12. 1894.
The fellow who attempted to
hold up an Erie passenger train at
Hammond, Ind., claims that he
was madeershy by getting married
It is very questionable, however,
whether marriage was the cause of
the effect of his sanity.—Columbus

A woman of Hamden, 0., answer

We learn that the fine p> acb or
chard ot Mr. Milam Gunn, near
Plainville, was badly injured, if
not altogether ruined, by the cold
weather of two weeks ago. This
was a valuable piece of property.
There were 35 acres in the orchard
and Mr Gunn sold from it last
year $6,000 worth of peaches,which
after paying all t Tpenses, left the
handsome profit of $3,000,

Yes, just like Lewellen and his

keep their State governments out
of the control of revolutionary
fanatics and political cranks.—

Macon is beginning »o punch At
lanta in the column of hustling cities
of Georgia. The other day, the pastor
of the Mulberry street Methodist
church announced that he wanted
e nough money to erect a two-story
Sunday School building. The idea
took and in less than half an hour
over $15,000 had been subscribed.
That kind of spirit is the best adver
tisement a town can have at home or
abroad, and it should be emulated in

In speaking of the Legislative race
today, W. J . Neel, Esq., stated posi
tively, that he would not be a candi
date. Mr. Neel said: “I *am very
grateful to my friends iu all parts of
the county for their expressions of
approval of my record in the last
Legislature, and their promises of
support if I become a candidate again.
I esteem it a very high honor to have
represented Floyd County, and per
sonally I would take pleasure and
pride in a continued service in the
Legislature, but in duty to my friends
and my creditors, I am compelled fer
the present to give my dilligent at
tention to my private and profession
al business. In addition to this, I
have recently been elected a member
of the City Council of Rome, and ap
pointed Chairman of the Finance
committee of the new Council, and it
will be necessary for me to give care
ful attention to the finance of Rome.
I will not therefore be in the race.
