THE AVALANCHE TRANSFEKRRI*
Ail that avalanche talk of the
Evans papers has ceased —in fact
that word never appears nowadays
in their columns. There are two
reasons for this ;first because it
cannot be told conceri ing General
Evans that an avalanche is sweep
ing him into office, because ho is
in fact going the other way ; sec
ondly it is true that the avalanche
has been transferred to Atkinson
and is bearing him to the guber.
natorial chair necessitating of
course the suppression of such a
fact in their columns.
If a person will carefully read
between the lines in the Evans
papers he will very readily see that
the avalanche is gone and is not
going to return this way. It passed
harmlessly and only but a few
newspaper offices. It didn’t catch
up a governor in its path but left
General Evans as a candidate
along the roadside. Atkinson’s av
alanchewill catch him up about
Aug. 22nd, when he will be nom
inated for governor of Georgia.—

“OUR JOHN” THE PEOPLES
CHOICE.
The lastest congressional chat is
that there will be four candidates
for the Seventh’s plum . Birtow is
said to have a well-groomed racer,
and Gordon is not without excel
lent congressional timber.
Wouldn’t it be lively, though, with
four men in the field for the Dem
ocratic nomination? The Carters
ville Couraut of lust week says:
•‘The man who represents the
seventh district in the next con
gress will not have a walk-over for
the Democratic nomination.”—Ce
dartown Standard.
Four candnidates in the field
would indeed make lively’ times
for the three who oposed Judge
Maddox, and if the trio of aspi
rants want the fun a..d will pay
for it, let them enter. In the mean
time the majority of the papers ol
the Seventh district, like the ma
jority of the people are satisfied
rhat no better man can be sent to
Washington than John Maddox.
WE HAVE “DONE DONE IT“
Th Conbitution had Gecrgia all
fixed up lor Hill until the wicked
State Democratic Convention met
and smashed its little scheme. It is
said that Senator Hill was very sore
when he discovered how cruelly he
had been deceived. After the Alaba ■
tua convention, Captain Johnson may
feel somewhat the same way. Per
haps he does not know that for the
past ten years, one of the surest signs
of impending defeat for any political
aspirant in Georgia has been the
support of the Constitution. —Atlan-
ta Journal.

The Hustler of Rome is now as it
was two years ago, in favor of pri
maries. Let the Democratic execu
tive conimitb a see to it that some
mode of election is devised by which
the voice of every voter may’ be reg
istered in the county convention, and
then let the majority rule. Let every
district have a primary and vote for
ten delegates who are avowed Evans
or Atkinson men, then let each voter
on his ballot name his choice for rep
resentatives and his choice for Coi
gress. The majority rule is Democra
cy and the expression of the majority
in each district should be so clear
at n© ‘ trading’ will be possible.
Co]. Frank P. Rice does not seem
to be very popular over in Atlanta
The Hustler of Rome had a little
confab with an Atlanta drummer this
morning, and that gentleman re
marked: “I am voting for General
Evans, because he is an Atlanta man.
To be frank 1 dont believe he will be
elected., and I dont care much, for if
he was, old Frank Rice would be
governor.
Theres no hope for the G meral,
and his boomers mourn, for they
feel chagrined that he should go
down before thejlance of the young i
statesman who wears the ‘'Kirs.’’

And now the Atlanta Constitution
the official organ of the third par
ty and champion of the enemies
of Democracy has read the Macon
Telegraph out to the Democratic
party. But even such “heroic
measures” will not save the Evans
boom,
Why if John Maddox had been
in that “Billion dollar congress,”
in the place of Bill Everett, he
would have had a public building
“promised’’ every county seat in
the Seventh and had the founda
tions started on a half dozen of
them. John Maddox is a represen
tative rigfu—for the proof, go to
his record.
Very likely, the next time Gen
eral Evans says anything it will
be about political and not person
al matters. He has disappointed
some of his warmest cupporters of

The above, coming as it does
from one of the host dailies in the
State, a paper that to date has
proven strictly non partizan shows
which way the wind is blowing.
A month or so ago the majority
of the Democratic executive com
mittee of Spalding county, com
posed of the best representatives
of the party, was for Evans. At
the meeting forced by the Evans
leaders on Tuesday it was found,
by the admission of their own or
gan, that the committee stood 17
U Bon one test vote and 14 to 11
on another i.i favor of Atkinson.
This a very good index of the
change that has taken place
throughout the county. —Griffin
