ILee Langley’s Macon Bee seems to be gathering great combs of honey despite the filibustering of winter and the inability of spring to get a quorum. And this from the Augusta Her ald, one of General Evans’ ablest supporters: “Neither Gen. Evans nor Air.

They marched for hours in a | jx'ld, drenching rain and never a cmcl shirked his duty to the memon of Kossuth, in whose honor they pa jraded and made speeches. 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 Ledger. A woman of Hamden, 0., answer ed an advertisement recently which promisedto give a satisfactory receipe for making coffee. The reply was: •‘Practice till you get it exactly right, then keep on making it in that way.” Sue boiled over.— Athens Banner. , Prof. List, th* Bavai nah pian ist, killed himsult by a sea of twenty hours com inuous j layi g This should be a warning t<» new beginners.—Brunswick Advertiser. Yes. and to those who have to List to the “new beginner.’No won der death gets them on the List. 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, Gov. Tillman and his cohorts are running South Carolina just like Kolb and his gang would run Alabama, if they were in power.— Waycross Herald. Yes, just like Lewellen and his gang have run Kansas and Waite has run Colorado. The people must keep their State governments out of the control of revolutionary fanatics and political cranks.— Marietta Journal. 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 e ery city in Georgia. Let's advertise the State!—Albany Herald. L “We defy any newspaper or in dividual to prove that we nave ev er said we were for Evans. Since the race began we have maintain ed that A’kinsou was our favorite between the two men.”—Ringold New South. That’s right, Trox, kuss out the whole shooting match and throw Hal Moore down and f ake his k’d gloves away from him and give them to your girl. None of that gang will fight fair 'ceptin you lick the stnflln outen ’em a couple of times. 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. Wanted:—A second hand en gine, about 15 or 20 horse pone Apply to or address Rounsaviil Bros. 4-3-ts. Rome.
