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.— Athens Banner. “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. We be’ieve the Constitution is supporting Gen. Evans for governor —at least that is our information Wonder if Phill Byrd will add the Constitution to its list of “Jonahs? * —Chattooga News. 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.’’ THE HUSTLER OF ROME. FRIDAY APRIL 13. 1894. Boss Crocker is on his way home, Im wi'l probably stop over at Sing Sing and see the boy s.—Columbus Ledger. Atkinson koutiuues to grow. This is evidenced most forcibly by the fight being waged on him by “Old Potty’’ the Floyd County “Jonah.” The Buchanan Banner Messenger is one of the best little weeklies in Georgia. Editor Nix deserves praise for the wonderful improvement he has forked in the columns of his red hot little sheet. They have a strange way of set tling disputes m Kn'ucky. A fight over the selection of a school teacher in Bourbon county was c impromised by burning the school house.—Albany Herald. The Wavcross Evening Herald —Non partizan, says: “It’s almost lime fur a few Geoigia weeklies to flop back over to Evanu, now that his election is leasonb'y assured.” But they are all flopping the oth er way. The Evans’ people laughed at At kinson’s bunch of green bananas, but thu‘ wool hat democrats’* ami the “old privates'* smiled as they waited pr the ‘‘turning of the tide* 1 The fruit will ripen about August 2nd.— Just on time. The city of Rome may not have suffered a bonded indebtedness in crease during the past administration, but about $20,000 to 25.000 of other indebtedness has been p led up on the city for the present administra tion to “rastle with. ’ To ascertain roughly the length >f the day and night at any time of the year double the time of the sun’s rising, which gives the length of the night r and double the time >f the setting, which gives the length of the day. Ye gods and wholey mugwu ups ! 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 lat*. —Albany Herald 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 News. Wanted:—A second hand en gine, about 15 or 20 horse powe Apply to or address Rounsavill Bros. 4-3-ts.
