The straw hat tells which way the blows—and is getting on top once more. Really now General, honest in juu, aiut you ruunin right sharply tc your war record? Does the Tribune man really think that he has answered the “Primrose statesman?” Sheriff Moore may soon have an other “batch of likely young con victs” —Does the “Jonah” need a few? In about seventeen years young Ta Ra. Ra Cobb will learn that there is a difference between fame and noto riety. If any man ever worked a war rec ord for all it was woitb, that man is Rev. <?. A. Evans, the Atlanta candi date. Col. D. B. Hamilton continues the rbral of Max Meyerhardt for the lead ership of th Max AJeyeihardt Evans Club Atkinson earned his SI,OOO fee row the state—but did the Atlanta sarc that SI,OOO from General IKvaus? The mtn of “Beaver Slide” have joined Koxey’s army —and the “Slide” is all quiet along the Pot omac. The “Jonah” lost the Sheriff’s printing, hence its bitterness to vs.rd.Jake Moore, the best sheriff in Georgia. Heresthe way the Gordon Citizen sires it up: “One good manufactur ing plant in Calhoun would be worth more than two base ball teams,” The editor of the “Jonah” has been “muzzled;’’ he had nothing to «*y this morning in regard to Jake Moore’s convict plantation. Cet tire G* neral come down to brass stacks and name the members of he Judiciary who are corrupted po itic J Judges. The people demand it. It is thought that Col. Cary Thornton, of Columbus, has made up Ills mind to accept the 3rd par ty s.-ominatiou for Congress if it is tendered him. The esteemed Athens Banner thinks from the fact that the Con stitution concedes that the fight in Bibb will be close, that it can ire safely placed in the Atkinson column. Os course Bibb is safe for Atkinson, just as safe as Coweta, — M&con Telegraph. The Evans people are too badly outclassed, for even, their licks below the belt to knock out the champion of the Wool hats and priva e , W Y Atkinson. C< xey seems to be marching on toward Washington in great shape. H“ must be wanting to run for some office in Georgia and fieeds a war record—Gordon Citizen. The Constitution is now running Gen. Evans in its Sunday issue mainly. Can’t afford to waste amunition every day in the week on a duck that’s dead.—MiLedge ville Moon. The “Jonah’ forgot to insinuate anything against the Board of County Commissioners. *n this morning’s edition. The “Jonah” editor will have to count a quorum on his absent mind. Will Editor Cooper inform the oeople whether or not some of the Evans leaders have approached him with an intent to “muzzle” the Trib une? Such a report has leaked out of the ranks of the faithful. Berner, Bartlett, Whitfield and Cabauiss would make ah interest ing congressional campaign in this district, and it is generally believ ed that they will all be in the race. —Barnesville Gazette. Perhaps the same “muzzle” fac tory, whose output has been fitted onto Max Meyerhardt, has yielded another production that has silenc ed Frank Stantons “War-record” jokes. Ah theirkuzzin FrauK? Thirteen of the presidents of the United States were Masons. They were Washington, Jefferson, Madi son, Monroe, Jackson, Win. H. Har rison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson and Garfield. The Georgia counties seems to have “minds of their own” on the political questions of the day,— Augusta Herald. You bet they have, and if any one doubts your statement just re fer them to the Constitution. The sensation of the campaign, to date, is the fact that General Evans has joined the fighters, or ganized his clubs and gone to the front—fighting fur—General Ev ans. Democracy needs more loyal ♦nd unselfish blades to lead her hosts, Here’s the practical view that Editor Cain takes of the situation ; Che News believes Atkinson is better qualified for the governor ship than Gen. Evans, because his opportunities to study ques tions of state policy have been better. Over in Floyd county the woods are alive with condidates for the legislature. Several have already announced, and numbers of others are feeling the political pulse of the dear people. Times are going to be lively in old Floyd,—Chat tooga News. If General Evans is nominated bv the Democrats, and Tom Watson by the Populist, there will be no longer a dodging of the question. The Gen. will have to meet the Populistic lead er face to face on the stump, or else give the reason why—Gordon Citi zen. Let General Evans and the Con stitutio i name the judges and solici tors who are ringsters. Do it General through the Cons itution, and even little “me tro’ organ in Georgia will echo it promptly. Besides, the wool hat boys and old privates want to know “whc” you mean There are August individuals who regard themselves as born leaders ami who believe their influence should controll all men and on all occasions; and yet. they would con- j eider it an unpardonable sin for any one to criticise their political action . If there is a man in Rome that this shoe tits, he should marvel fur ther or make up his mind to stand up and face his oponents. We have him “on the last.” THE HUSTLER OF ROME. FRIDAY APRIL 27. 1894. Perhaps Max will slip his “muz zle” again n-xt Sunday and ring iu another bucket of sluch, about why memorial day should be drag ged into this campaign to help out General Evans, the Atlanta Ring Candidate who is running solely on his YVar record. The New York Herald has made a canvass of Col. Breckinridge’s district with a view to ascertain ing h s chances for being returned to congress. The published result indicate that he can not return. His district is democratic, two to one. It has been discovered that the Milky Way in heaven was the result of the cow jumping over the moon.— Augusta News. Thats a bully way of expressing it, but did she plannit before she star ted upward or just steer her course ac-cidentally? And now the Constitution has reached that point ia its desperate game, where it must quote from such little 2x4 sheets as the South ern Argus. The jig is up and ‘he Evansites know in their hearts that fighting democracy has elect ed—the best man —W, Y. Atkin son for Governor. Back of the hue and cry raised by Gen. Evans, the Constitution and the “me too" fly-up-creeks» about the Mythical Legislative ring, the fact remains uncontrov erted thet General Evans contrib uted SI,OOO to the big campaign fund raised among the Atlanta Ring politicians; and all their bluster will not draw the fire of the Wool hats at such cerruptive proceedings. The Executive Committee of the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club, thoroughly organized and hard at work proposes to carry Floyd coun ty. They have committee’s at work thoroughly canvassing the county for recruits—“ Spontaneous” is it? Now watch Floyd go for Atkinson by a rousing big majority; and that without an organization too. There is a law in Pennsylvania that declares guilty of misdemeanor any person who wilfully states, delivers or transmits, by any means whatever to the manager, editor, publisher or reporter of any newspaper or periodi cal, any libelous statement concerning any person or corporation,and the penalty is a fine not exceeding SSOO, or imprisonment not exceeding two years, or both. The most widely SBperated points between which a telegram can be sent are British Columbia and New Zealand. The telegram would cross North America, New Foundland, the Atlantic. Eng land, Germany, Russia, (European and Asiatic,) China, Java and Aus tralia. It would make nearly a circuit of the globe, and would traverse over 20,000 miles in doing so. The Atlanta Constitution is wasting a good deal of ink in showing that the Atlanta politi cians are not supporting Atkinson. Everybody knows they are run ning Gen. Evans. The same Con stitution tearfully tells it’s readers that the ring embracing the peo ple in every county in the State is supporting Atkinson. So accord ing to the Constitution it is the big people’s ring from all over G orgia that is opposed to the rule of the At.anta politicians. Anoth er Daniel confessing judgement. Meriwether Vindicator. The Evans leaders are rushing the counties that they feel eure for their man to act at once so as to revive the drooping hopes of the discouraged followers. These leaders insisted upon an early nominating convention. Foiled in that they are urging early selec tion of delegates because they hear so much of changes all over the State from Evans to Atkinson. 1 hey hope to counteract the ava lanche to Atkinson by an early se lection of delegates. This may be best for Evans but how about its fairness and tendency to harmo nize the party?—Meriwether Vin dicator. _3 I The Macon Telegraph made about a halt column comment cn Editor Co iper’s “attempt to an swer” Hon. W. J. Neel. This morn ing the Tribune “assaults and at tempts to c mmit a battery” on the Telegraph and says the latter had written a'-column and a half.” We are of the opinion that Editor Cooper thought that it was about five columns before he got through reading it. “If Gen ra 1 Evans should be nominated he will never be Gov ernor unless he recaives the active support of the who are now being called ringsters and trick sters. Wherever you find an active enthusiastic, working democrat,’in nine cases out of ten you find an Atkinson man. If you take this county over, town and country, it will be found that there is nodoubt a >out the truth of this assertion in Polk county. These men,just af ter being called tricksters for sev eral months might not be disposed to enter with much enthusiam, the fight in favor of Gen . Evans.” — Cedartown Standard. BEC AUS E TH E POPULISTS SA I SO. A special from Reynolds to the Thomasville Enterprise says: “After talking with a great many of our people from different sec tions of the country. 1 find that General Evans will carry Taylor over Mr Atkinson nearly 2 to 1. The Pjpulists think that if Gen. Evans is nominated he will be overwhelmingly elected, but if Colonel Atkinson should gain the nomination they think they would have a fighting chance.” —Macon News. Well, well, well! Hall Moore has certainly got ’em again—else he would never swallow the above. Actually letting his political enemy (ell democrats which leader they should send out. Why Hal were you, like “Uncle C em,” asleep all through the third party war, when Bill Atkinson led the wool hats co the tune of 80,000 majority.? THE TWO RECORDS. ? x WHAT EACH CANDIDATE DID WHILE IN THE LEGISLATURE. Hon W Y. Atkinson was a mem ber of the legislatuie from Coweta county from 1886 to 1894. Hon C.A. Evans was State senator from Stewart eounty in 1859—60. Here are the records the two men made, by which we impartially judge their character as statesmen.

Walter S.Cheney s Apocalypse of Life, and to our minde it is as pretty a criticism as it is appro priate. The girl who made that remark'has undoubtedly read th* book and underatood the great beauty of it. Rome may well fe«l proud of the brilliant writer and learned scholar who has furnished th > world a book that will become as standard as Pilgrims Progress SOUTH WEST GEORtIA. The Albany Herald, strictly non partizan, refutes the claim of the Evanescent boomers, that West Georgia is solid for Evans Editor Mclntosh says: “W« don’t know how it is iu other sections of the State, but the Herald does know a thing or two about the politics of Souhwest Georgia, ai d we do not hesitate to give it as our candid opinion tha>t in the present gubernatorial campaign the Second Congressional district or a majority of the counties com posing it, are very, uncertain as between Gen. Evans and Col. At kinson. There is an utter lack of enthu siasm for either of these gentle men, and the one who does the most work or the best work be tween now and July will get the delegates to the Democratic con vention. That “spontaneous up rising” which brought out Gen. Evans in midwinter never reach cd this neck of the woods, and the tall statesman from Coweta comes into this part of the field on an equal footing with him.” ANNOUNCEMENTS.
