According to the Evans people, there are two rings: Evans little mocent one, and Atkinson bigone which covers the entire state Well? The Chines eclaim that their gong was invented to skeer the devil. We throw the paste pot at ours and find that it has the de sired effect. Mozart may have been composed when he wrote his music. but cou Id he hear it as it floats through the air “some nights'’—he would n’t be composed. The president had appointed a man named Hel’ ; nski postmaster of Diduth and the selection is raising just four-ninths of the appointee s name in that town. Let democrats who remember the Third party war remember that in this campaign that General Evans h id to prove that he voted and then only prove for one of the Fall elections The German mile of today is 24, 318 feet in length, more than four limes and a half as long as our mile. —The Dutch always did want the earth and this is only a mile way of getting it, The people of Floyd paid Gen. Evans for the fine sermons he use to preach, and as he has no demo cratic record they are under no obligations to him. Atkinson will be our next governor.

"We got it on the bill collectors yesterday. We spent the day at the Max Meyerhardt Evans Club head quarters. Noone dreamed of our hiding place—but hereafter we will pay the bills or “stand em off” Ge whiz what a day ! The Constitution fought John I Gordon, the old veteran, and ye. today it is championing Genera l Evans cause on account of his war record, alone. John B. Gordon, such as ha is, is a better democrat than the Atlanta Rings candidate. Will the undemocratic methods that are to govern Bartow county’s action in chosing delegates to thi gubernatorial convention help t< bind the Wool hat Atkinson boys of the distant rural districts to th* party. Every democrat who bi - lieves in fair play will answoi “No!” THE HUSTLER OF ROME. WEDNESDAY MAY 2, 189 We congratulate General Evans on the grade of democracy that makes thb methods of the first counties to act. —But then the General knows so little about pure detnocrcy, that he would not be expected to know it should he meet it in the road, Artificial ice is now so made in France that upon giving it a rap it will separate into small cubes instead of irregular lumps It is believed that this new departue will compel the French ice to quit lying in weight and go to deal ing on the squair. Editor Shaver , the able editor of the I9alton Argus, resents the .imputation that the voters of Whitfield county can be delivered body and soul, to Mr. Atkinson— Auguta Chornicle. If Shaver knows all about Whit fields vote maybe he can tell, “how cum” Whitfield went to the third party in the last county elec tion. General Evans’ henchmen could not permit their man to eng -ge in further joint debate, because it might have a tendency to disrupt the paity. But the politicians who have rallied around the Atlanta candidate care nothing for party harmony in those cou uties where they control the machinery—for the proof note their early action and the “jumped up” cut and dried mass meeting methods in obtain' mg county deligates. The Jasper County News,which has been taking notes of the gubernato ril campaign remarks that in 1859 Gen. Evans voted against a bill allow ing the Confederate privates to elect their own officers. In 1894 the Gener a' is exerting a'l bis powers ”1 orgai t zing confederate privates into clubs to vote for himself. In 1859, the Gen eral thought the people incapable ol electing their own rulers. In 1894 he has the audacity to ask the votes oi the very men he formerly sought to disfranchise. By referring to back files of the Constitution the Evans men will see that in the race between Mr. Atkin son and Hon. W, H. Flemming for speaker of the house, the Consti tution insisted that Flemming had a walkover and the day before the election, * headed' * a “skeer head“ with “Speaker Flemming.' 1 The Con stitution is again whistling through a graveyard, where lies the freshly buried hopes of another of the vic tims it has lead to political death. FOUND NEW EVANS CONVERTS. A gentleman who appeared to have been fed well all his life came into Vidalia yesterday on the west-bound train and introduced himself as a traveling man foi Gen. Evans. Os course we always welcome strangers into our town, aud nearly all the drummers will tell yon that Vidalia never fails to give every man’s consideration ; but the drummer in question cer tainly feund himself confronted by an Atkinson crowd, and conse quntly he made no converts for his man in Vidalia. Now we confess is discour aging to a fellow who naay b*- workmg for commission, but if he has a fixed salary aud gets his ex peases paid why should he care? — especially if he does hie duty in urging his claims. —Vidalia Star THE PRIVATE SOLDIER NOT IN IT There must be nacre generals and colonels who have survived the war than privates, to judge from the fact that one rarely hears of the private soldier. All the civic rewards are industriously claimed by those who had commissions in their pockets. There seems to be as great a lack ol official places in times of peace as there was painful lack of trees during times of war, as was profoundly re counted by a’federal soldier after one of tiie hard fought battles in North ern Virginia. ‘I tell you,“ said he excitedly, to i group of interested auditors, *“liie r aiu of shot and shell was something fearful. It mowed men down like grass.** “M by didn't you get behind a tree?** asked one of tbe group. Tree, h—]!“ he blustered out. There wr Vnt trees enough for gthe officers. * * —Savannah Dispatch • AN INTERESTING ITEM Col. Durand, the Atlanta cor respondent of the Macon Tele graph, sends his paper the follow ing interesting communication: “If General Evans is not run ning hie gubernatorial race on his war record,” said a gentleman—a member of the city council, by the way—to the Telegraph, “1 d like to know why he gather 1 together his best workers and took them over to rhe Birmingham reunion.” The point turns out to be well taken, as the published, as well as the unpublished list of those who went over to Birmingham will show. The general’s official organs however, account for his campaign work at Birmingham on the ground of “spontaniety “I happen to know,” continued the speaker, “that General Evans and his advisers actually made a slate of workers for the Birming ham reunion. They made up a list of men they considered best to work among the Georgia veterans who went over to the reunion, for votes and to create that “spoutai.i ety” you have heard so much about among old vets who could not vote, of course, for their can didate, but who could make a noise with their mouths. “You talk about that Evans caucus in Maoon the day Senator Colquitt was buried as being a sample of the way Evans cam paign work is being done. That is nothing. They do not miss a single chance, especially to work upon the old soldiers, regardless of the occasion. And, by the way, there was at least one Judge on the bench who was invited to go over to Birmingham to work among the veterans fa Evans, aud who accepted the in vitation. It appears to be all right when a Jadge leaves the bench to work for General Evans, cut the eyes of Gen. Evans’ adherents the judici ary is corrupted, if a solicitor or bailiff is known to favor Col. At kinson’s candidacy. The echo of the “spontaneous”cali for Evans seems to have met a sud den death, it was so badly criplad it never lived tn get out of Atlanta.— Atkinson is the winning man He is getting the more popular every, day He is the fighter of today just as Gen . Evans was a third of a cen tury ago.— Eastman Times Journal. THE TWO RECORDS. WHAT EACH CANDIDATE DID WHILE IN THE LEGISLATURE. Hon W Y. Atkinson wasamem ber of the legislative 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 twomen made, by which we impartially judge their character as statesmen.

I 4. _ NO ClOLhl-'N BELIEVES THE CHARGE. “It is said that wherever possi ble the Atkinson contingent dis continued the memorial exercises for the reason thatthey were afraid of the Confederate sentiment. This is politics with a vengeance.” The above was said by Hal Moore,of the Macon evening News, and now in all good humor we call on Mr. Moore for the name of a single place where any one “dis continued the memorial exercises for the reasen that th«y were afraid of the Confederate sentiment.’ 1 We challenge editor M*ore to the proof. And we insist that he furnish the names of those of whom “it is said.” Editor Moore well knows that there is not a section in Georgia where any such an infamous spirit could live, for less rule.
