HE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE THE RACE FOR CONGRESS. Macon, Ga., April 26. —Judgr Charley Bartlett, of the superioe court has tendered his resignation to Governor Northen. Judge Bartlett made his an nouncement this morning at a meeting of the Macon bar. The bar meeting requested him to re consider, but he stated that his mind was made up. This action on the part of Judge Bartlett has been foreshadowed in The Constitution. It has been ex pected for some time and created no surprise. The generally accept ed reason for the resignation is that Judge Bartlett intends to make the race for congress from this district. He was a candidate two years ago, but was defeated. He was appointed to the superior court bench by Governor Northen to succeed Judge Miller who re signed to resume his practice. The congressional campaign in this, the sixth, district now opens up in earnest. There is no question but that the candidates will be Cauiniss and Berner from Forsyth, Judge Bartlett from Macon and Robert Whitfield from Milledgeville. WILL BE HOME TO DAY.

He has a peculiarly patient way of getting down to brass tacks and snaking the truth out of the most i rdened old Annias who frequents the “Fall ct Ninevah.’ And then he has a refreshing way of using an original term when he passes sentence, for instance, if he believes a poor devil his had only about $2,6 5 qents worth of fun he dont say “$5. or ten days' 1 but “well I'll let jou off this time with $4.

GREENVILLE VOCES LIQUOR HER CITY COUNCIL MET AND DECID- ED BY A VOTE OF 6 To 4. Greenville, S. C., April 26.—The liquor question was brought to au issue this afternoon. At a meeting of the city council, called to take action as to the right of the city to issue license, the discussion was long and at tim<?s animated. A test vote was ‘aken, which resulted in a vote of 6 to 4 in favor of issu ing liquor licens. The city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance to license the sale of liquor. The sense of the council was tor stringent regula tions to prevent the sale of any intoxicants to minors, inebriates and men under the influence of whiskey, and to limit the hours when liquor can be sold. This action of the Greenville council may lead to a legal solu tion of the question by resort to injunction and appeal to the su premo court. A SHERIFF REPORTED SHUT Greensboro, N.C..

WHO IS IT Engaged in Dragging Down Into Political slime MEMORIES OF LOST CAUSE? Ao Right Thinking man who Knows The Facts Will Charge it to W. Y. Atkinson, and yet it is Being Done to put a wan in office. Here is an ‘ item ’ from the Macon Telegraph to which The Hustler of Rome invites the frigid eye of the Editor of the morning ‘Jonah’’—al so the cursory glance of his brilliant so lowers in the Hill City, and it will also make interesting reading matter for many of the honest hearted Evans biethren—so let all of them read it: We are told by every Evans newspaper that the general is not running for office on his war rec ord ; but his speeches show that he does not himself labor under such a mistake. His opening re mark in the fiirst speech he made in the joint debate was to lhe ef fect that it did his “old Confeder. ata heart’’ good to meet the people there present. Since then he has continued on the same track. We think nobody should object It is a glorious thing to have been a good Confederate soldier, and Gen. Evans was one, We know nothingof which a man has a better right to be proud than the record of such a soldier. But a good rec ord in the Confederate army, made thirty years ago, does not prove that the man who made it is the best man for governor of Georgia to day. This is acknowledged by Gen. Evans’ friends when they say he is not running on his war record. Tnere is some inconsistency be tween this claim of his friends and Gen, Evans’ own care to make his record as a Confederate sol dier conspicuous in his speeches; but we do not object to it. Per haps it is inevitable. But we do protest when Gen. Evans tries to make it appear that those who op pose him as a candidate for office as a politician, do so because they art* out of sympathy with the S lutheru people and lacking in the sentiment which makes the memories of the war period dear. We are sure he does his opponents great injustice. In his Carrollton speech Gen. Evans went further than he has done heretofore on this line. So far as is shown in the report of his speech in the Atlanta Constitu tion, his appeal for votes wai bas ed on only two pleas—that his op ponents were enemies of the Con federate soldier and members of a ring, organized in the legislature, including the judges and solicitor “A political clan has been formed over the state, ’ he is quoted a> saying, “for the purpose of rob bing the people of their rights. From the methods employed against me, I would feel that I was running against a candidate for constable in a New York slum instead of the governorship, of one of the original thirteen states.” And he closed his speech by say ing" “My friends, never listen to a man who decries sentiment and who wants to put. the old soldier down. You will be giving aid to those who would teach your children that their fathers were traitors. In this case an effort is being made to make me the victim of the cry that no more Con federate generals shall be promoted to civil office, if so, I am willing that the last shot aimed at a Con federate breast ahould enter mine, if it should spare mv com’a les the mortification which is keener than ; wounds received in battle. “Let the question be plainly i stated to the people. The ; sßue is I between the old soldier and the 1 • politician, the man defending Con federate sentiment and tho ma> who would degrade it.’ Gen. Evans is very much mis taken if he thinks he will elrvab politics by vague indefinite charges against public officals whom In gives no opportunity to defend themselves, or that he will save Confederate sentiment from de gredation by using it to ex’ort an office for himself from an unwill ing people, It is not his opponents who are trying to u»e that sacred sentiment to accomplish a selfish purpose. No objection whatever has been raised to him on the grounds that he was a Confederate soldier. Nobodi in Georgia wants to ‘ put Hie old sol dier down.’ But there are plenty ol men in Georgia who believe Unit the office seeker who is willing to de grade the judiciary by chargee too vague to be answered, an 1 the high est sentin e t of the people bv putting it to an unworthy, selfish use is not the proper man for the represenat tive of the governor- -ever t hough he be an old soldier. «♦»— A SNAKE STORY,* WIIAT CONTRACTOR WHITFIELD FOUND IN A HOSPITAL CHIMNEY. Os all the snake stories any so ber editor ever kame in kontact with here is one that takes the kake and throws the bakery into the hands of a reciever. The story is told by contractor Whitfield, Rome's veteran brick mason and is vouched for by sev eral of his employees who were ' eye witnesses. Mr Whitfield, formerly known as “Uncle Whit,” contracted with Dr. Robert Battey to remove a large old fashioned chimney at the Martha Battey Hospital, and replace it with a more modern af •fsir - . . ( 11l tearing down the old chim ney, through which for forty years coal and wood, fat pine and kero sene have been going up the flume in smoke, the woodmen when near the ground, found the snake. His snake ship proved to be s rattler, about 9 incher lung and he was certainly a serpent of art, for he was not only done up iu plaster paris, but had been living there, a hermit, for 40 years. There was no opening in the brick or mortar, that formed his dormatory, and when tumbled out koiled himself up and prepaired to do like a koal miner “strike” —and strike right now. It is thought by some of the old soldiers, that the rattler, with his deformed tail and remarkable ‘‘Evanescent-democratic’’ record, may be related to some of those “hissing serpentine” outputs of a War time Mortar, Be that as it may, his snake: bin is one of the “oldest land marks ” for on his tail there are 44 small deform ed.corn shaped bumps, which would doubtless have, had they only had room to grow, been today a regular 44 rattle- snake rattler. So for 44 years lhe bricks of this chimney have been pressing his but tons while he did the—rest. The above stoiy may be konsidered most remarkable—in fact the most remark able ever heard in Rome, but it isn’t for on May the 26th, when the wool hat boys, and privates have voted and Evans has failed to karry a district in the kounty—then their “seven to one” klaim will be appointed receivi r of this snake story.

He and the Con stitution are More Modified in their Expressions and Blame Atkinson With their Error. .Milledgeville, April 25 Gen.Evafis n his Jonesboro speech, thoughthe •iad found a “mare's nest” and with ireat stage effect announced to the ne >ple of Georgia that he had discover a political ring in this state. He charged Atkinson with having formed a ring denominated“the leg islative ring,’’and composed of mem bers of the legislature and judeges )f the superior court and the solic itors general The Evans papers pro •laimed the discovery with fiauang tieadliness The people were warned.Atkin 4on’s “legislative ring’’ ramified all teorgia. The thing was done like “swapping knives.’’ Gen. Evans re peated this charge in his Carrollton speech. He went so far as to advocate that m future the judiciary be elected by the people. Atkinson was made to > bear the blame for all the evils of >ur system of electing judges and eolcitors by the legislature. Great were the expectations from this charge! But on investigation it > ip peered that at least half of the ju- IK-iary of the state were for Gen. Evans.aud the oharge fell flat. The Atlanta Constiution, thongh having ’ sustained Gen. Evans in the charge 1 concerning th Atkinson legislative ' ring, saw in a few days the charge 1 could net be sustained.and in its is- - sue of today editorially,! k s water, md sa.s that Atkinson rs the man - who put the judges and solicitors iu 8 m exceedingly embarrassing po«i . ion,and that he circulated the report , that the judges and solicitors were . with him in the race, tninking such a report would benefit and strengthen :im.
