Then have them removed, John, for such a sign would belie the plucky little “Mountan city.” It were trees-on to tolerate it. ( WHY CLARK. HOW COULD YOU! On Manday, according to the Constitution report, Hod. Clark Howell, the chief adviser and sup porter of General Evane, extended the right hand of fellowship and the open hand of hospitality and greeted warmly ’ Colonel John A. Cockerill. the editor of the New York Morning Advertiser and the most malignant abuser of General Evans and the whole South. All this was in the wonderful city of Atlanta and it must have been a very interesting occasion. UAL MOORES CHALLENGE Now let the little tin statesman from Coweta challenge Dr 1 Carlton for a joint rebate. He is certainly entitled to four meetings, though a smaller number might satisfy him —Macon News. Ah, there! And do you really think that “the people’s choice” couid be side tracked by such a ruse? Why dont you put your “Un cle Clem” against Dr. Carlton fo r a quartett of debates? No Hal, old boy, the people see through you. The Wool hat train has the right of way and “Uncle Clem” and the “consort,” Dr. Carlton can monkey all they please for second place. ULI) HAVE CHANCED PLACES. One day last week, Tom Massey was looking out the window of the jail where he was confided on a charge of being crazy, when a well known man of the town passed with a fishing cane on his shoulder. Says Tom: “Hello mister, bring me a mess of fish heads, won’t you?” “What do you want with the heads?” says the disciple of Walton. “Well, you won’t git anything but heads,” replied Tom, “because whenever a fish gets one goed look at you, he’ll jerk his blame head off, shore! No you won’t git thing but heads.” The silence that folowed was profound, as the “lone fisherman,” with a very tired look on his face pursued his way toward the river. The question noyv is, whether Tom Massey was crazy or not. —Chat- tanooga News General Evans returnes to Car tersville again today and will the sec und time address the “faithful.** The General's Bartow friends are evi dently uneasy, despite the mass meeting methods of his songsters. Bartow is an Atkinson county and would so prove were the wool hat boys on the farms permitted to vote in primary. THE TWO RECORDS. WHAT EACH CANDIDATE DID WHILE IN THE LEGISLATURE. Hou W. Y. Atkinson was a mem ber of the legislatuie from Coweta county from 1886 to 1894. Hon. C.A. Evans was State sena.or from Stewart eounty in 1859—60. Here are the records the twomeu made, by which we impartially judge their character as statesmen. at kinson recor evan’s record. 1 Introduced a 1 Voted to allow bnl which waß banks to suspend B P ec,k P a the office of com- wheu there missioner of agri uo panic _ culture elective 2 Introduced the bill establishing o . r the Georgia Nor .“ ' °^ et * 1° abol mal and Indus- Ish . all - a we trial school for a f= aill SL usury. girls 3 el ped draw <? v . •> he b iH by which ?\° ted 81 ’ the state road r^ leSb betterment ques > ° f demo- tion was settled- “ ur^ erer ot a with a saving to “““ wh ° waS the State ot eCUtlg the law 000. r 4 Introduced a bill which was .

Well, its getting high time that ■omebody in Fulton county was doing something for the Veterans who* fate has placed them in con dition to go to the home. But for the influence of the Ful ton county people, who were friendlier to the home for Atlanta sake, than they were to the poor old h«roes thet it could shelter, the bill that passed the house would have passed the senate and those needy old Veteran* would to day be where they ought to be. pensioners on the great state of Georgia. Shame on Atlanta’s se 1- fishness and greed! TALK RIGHT OUT HAL, NAME ’UM It is said that wherever possible the Atkinson contingent discon tinued the memorial exercises for the reason that they were afraid of the Confederate sentiment. This is politic with a vengeance- Macon News. It would be very interesting to know where the esteemed Evening News secured this information- If the News would leave off toying with such paragraphs, and the “boomleteers,” it would have time to learn that large numbers of Confederate veterans will support Mr. Atkinson, and that while tqe people of the state love and honor Gen. Exans they will nominate Mr • Atkinson for Governor, be cause an experienced Democratic fighter is needed to lead the party to victory , —Columbus Ledger. ■OUR JOHN”-THE PEOPLES CHOICE. “The friends of Judge Maddox urge that he should be allowed to have the democratic nomination without opposition. Col. Everett’s friends urged the same thing two years ago, but this is a free coun try, and there is no law which gives a man more than he can get on his own merits. Col. Everett was just as much entitled to con sideration as Judge Maddox is now and for the same reason—he re mained in Washington and attend ed to his business.”—Courant American. The Courant may voice the sen timent of a minority of the voters of Bartow county; It may. we say but we doubt it: for the people of the other counties in the Seventh know fu.l well the platforms ©n which Everett and Judge Maddox wore nominated, and they know which of the two have remained faithful to their trust. R. W. Everett played to the, Al liance Democrat and the third par ty element and won the nomi nation by consenting to measure up to the Sub-treasury yardstick. He was nominated and elected and made—a regular Clements Demo crat, when he got into the house— betrayed his constinents. Judge Maddox, was elected on the National Democratic platform of 1892 and there is no man in Georgia or in this union who can successfully controvert the truth and convince the voters of the Seventh district that he has ever stepped off of it for one moment. The primary at Rome on May 26 will not only decide Floyd’s preference for governor, but will also name three democratic candi dates for the legislature. Several candidates are in the field and the race is exciting great interest. The announced candidates are W. C. Bryan, Charles W. Underwood, Moses Wright, R. T. Fouche and J. H, Recce.—Columbus Ledger. When you come down to Rome to spend a day and see the Ele phant—just bring rations for a week and we will have a big time with you brother Cain.
