General Evans says he“weuid'nt know a ring if he met it in the road.” and fearing lest some one would suspect him of knowing any thing of poLtics he has forsaken the ring of his church bell —for a season. Here's the way th» Augusta He rald, one of the Evans papers, sizes up the situation : “The charge that the judges of our state are “political” judges has aroused all Georgia. There is a calling fer proof which must be respected. We have frequently said that it is a grander and better thing to be a consecrated minister of God than it is to dabble in politics. General Ev ans himself said so two years ago when democracy called on him to go down into Emanuel county and speak for the party—. Augusta Chronicle. Mrs Charlotte Miller, an aged wo man of New Ycik City, was blown off of a pier into the East River.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME. WeDNESDAY APRIL 25. 1894. Let Max Meyerhurdt, the wet nurse of the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club of Rome, write one m< ru column of slush like that of Sunday, and then drag himself out or sight of those who hold sacred the memories that dus ter around the heroes who fell in the 605., and die. Shame on such infa rnous methods. Georgia Democrats are choosing a leader. Do they want a known Dem ocrat, one who has never failed to respond to his parties call, or do they want a min who has proven by the present campaign that he tn >ws noth ing of the party's war-fares? If your county is s> overwhelming ly for Evans, why dont you yeild the Atkinson mens request for a prima ry.? Is not a primary more democratic than the cut and dried program of a ring manipulated mass meeting. Primary is the watch word this year in all the counties that are willing for the ‘ therside" to show its strength In Bartow its different. A uniformed delegation of G. A R. is to maich in the procession in Atlanta on memorial Day. Atlanta is running this sort of thing in the ground. —Augusta Herald. Atlanta certainly is . But then At lanta wants all the G. A. R. votes of Georgia, for her candidate, Gereral Evans. It‘s Atlanta's way. When Southern men are driven to srtch an extremity that they would lug into political campaign, for par tizan purposes, the memory ®f the fallen heroes of a eause as sacred to the Sot:‘hern breast as that of the Los: eau e, then indeed baa] despair perched upon tlieir standards and true patriotism been driven out by by sheer desperation. Mr. Atkinson put Reverend Ev ans on notice in the joint debate iu Rome, that he was going to or ganize a ring of his owu and let all of the wool hat boys and pri vates join it, and that the ring would extend all over the State. A day or two ago the old General woke up and saw Atkinson had “done it.” The Constitution and Journal may be big newspapers, but when it comes to politics, and an Atlan ta man wants something, there is no end to the dirty methods to which they will resort. It would seem that such big papers would be able to at least tote fair m their news columns—but the masses know they do not. The Journal is full of the ‘‘morn-, ing Sorehead” and General Evans while the Countitution teems wish the “Sap head" and General Evans. No wonder the Average Atlantian looks to Peachtree Street for a sensation that would break tne monotony — yet a little while and the wool hat boys will put Bill Atkinson in the Governors mansion and they will have the sensation. The exposition movement gains strau. th daily. Yon can’t down an enterprise that is backed by Atlanta Atlanta Commercial. • And we are proud to know that the City of Atlanta does not permit the Atlanta ring to unload old expo sition grounds on her at fabulous prices. Great is Atlanta but her po litical bosses are reeking with korrup tion. WILL THE GOODS BE DELIVERED Solicitor or General Fite, of the Cherokee circuit will be a candidate for the judgeship of that circuit. Mr. Fite has held the office of Solicitor for four consecutive terms, and in the last twojraces for it, had no opposition. He is an able lawyer and will make an excellent judge. Judge Milner, the present judge of the Cherokee circuit, it is said, will be asked to be promoted to the supreme court bench.—Atlanta Journal. Gus Fite may succed Tom Miles but will Tom Miles climb higher? We doubt it seriously and more than that we doubt if the Judge could roost longer on the present rung. WINE AND WOMEN. Bismarck has lost uoue of frig old time gallantry. It was arrang ed by the deputation of ladies who personally visited him to present the 400 bottles of finest Rhenish wines contributed from Baden, Hesse and the Palatinate that each of them should kiss his hand upon being presented, but the old sol dier kissed them instead, and not upon their hands, either. ' 1 BLEEDING KANSAS’ The New York Evening Post stirred up a hornet’s nest recently when it contained the editorial remark “we d » ’jot want any more states until wv can civilize Kan sas ” Mr. J, W . Gleed, a citizen of the Grasshopper Stat j roasted the Post and New York in a paper in the Forum. He refers to New York as hav ing four times the population ot Kansas, 20 times as many papers and 1.560 miles lot-s railroads. The writer also sententiously alludes to the fact that four times the population of Kansas, New York has nine times as many con victs in the penitentiary and that four fifths of all the children be tween 7 and 18 years of age are enrolled in the public schools in Gov. Waite’s state yet in Governor Flower’s territory less than one half are so accredited. A pregnant fact to which Mr. Gleed seemingly alludes is the law recently passed in New York which repuires cats running at large to have collars encircling their neck, but tor some inexpli cable reason he failed to call at tention to the mark of servitude and ownership which Croker, Div vers and others of that Hke, com pell their henchnceu to wear. In conclusion of his very caustic ar ticle which the Post very serious ly invoked, Mr. Gleed says that Kansas may lack ritual and rega lia, but that it has uo Astor who moved to Londott, bought, a news paper and baited his hook for a peerage or its equivalent. To ad« to the pungency of his paper and rub salt into the already smarting wounds, the Kansas satirist closes with the remark that in New York there are thousands of coachmen, footmen, butchers and housemaids all clad iu livery to prevent any mistake being made in distin guisbing them from their superi ors. This was the uukindestcut of al l . The Post should learn wisdom and “not m< nkey with a buzz saw.” MASS MEETING VS. I’RIMARv. ■ The kickers iu this county on the mass meeting are too pert.lt has been the usual custom in this ;nd nearly all the counties of the state to elect delegates to the gubernatorial con vention by mass meetings, and quite a number of them have already called mass meetings to elect delegates to the August convention and some of them even earlier than Bartow.— C u ant American.
