NEWS, we are glad to see, is warming up
! to the grand work of saving the Demo-
cratic party in Georgia from those VINO,
/ to crafty their selfish ambition or greed
| for gain, would trample on 1t. The Sa-
vannah NEWS is one of the ablest and
safest papers in the State, and it will be
! well to heed its counsels.
The Alapaha Star saws: Patriots. not
partisans, are needed at the front. They
should rally around the old party and de-
fend il against those enemies within, who
have proven themselves incapable OF
rising above their own selfish ambition,
and whose motto seems to be TO rule or
ruin. Let us save our party from the
great impending danger, even though we
have TO surrender few personal prefer
ences to accomplish this patriotic object.
Athens Banner-W atchman: The pres
ent State House officers will nave no Oppo-
sition this year, and this is as il should

eral, Is the right man in the right place.

The Treasurer, Bob Hardeman, Is the
best one In the South, anu Georgia can 20
10 sleep comfortably and not have any un-
pleasant dreams Of tue State Treasurer
coming up absent with the bonds missing.
Georgia can we'll feel proud Of her Stale
House officers, and they will stay as long
as the business Is carried on as il is now.
The Valdosta Times says: ''The Savan-
nah NEWS wired to the editor OF the
Times for an impartial report OF the Cor
don meeting here. The report was sent.
Upon reflection we may have under-esti-
mated the crowd about fifty. Everything
else said was true and impartial. But
the NEWS did not print 1t, and instead
printed report concocted by two Gordon
men who are not residents Of Lowndes.
Said report was very inaccurate and quite
partisan" IL 10 true that the MORNING
NEWS sent TO the editor OF the ValdOsta
Times for a report OF the Gordon meeting
IN that town, and be very kindly sent II.
The MORNING NEWS will take pleasure
in reciprocating the favor II the oppOrtu-
nifty ever occurs. The MORNING NEW s

by the editor or the Times. IL wasn't
published because a dispatch, covering
the same ground. sent by the travelling
agent OF the MORNING NEWS, was al
