10 wish they hadn't done il. and believe
they would stand a better chance down on
the ground.
The democrats in the Eighteenth district
are puzzled as to what county will name
the senator. The rotation precedent was
broken and the whole gearing IS out or
fix. IL IS conceded that under the pan
adopted IN Louisville IN 10 II y no"
Glascock's turn. There are several can
didates for the nomination in GlascOck,
among them Col b. r. Walker, George
II. Hannah. W. T. Whitley and Col Ben
Rogers.
The democratic executive committee in
Sohley county will not call a primary to
nominate candidates for senator and rep
BesentatiVes until some time IN july or
August Two candidates have announced
for the legislature ]. NJ. COllum, the pres
ent county school commissioner, and j.
+. Woods, ex-sheriff. Schley viii also
furnish the senator for the district, and
+. b. HOrnady and 7. g. Hudson are IN

Carrollton Times: What Is to be ac-
complished by holding primary on June
6 for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for every Office-state, county ana
federal? 4 primary bias never gwen en-
tire satisfaction and is not democratic
or any other party doctrine. II Is not an
honest means to determine VINO snail Dc
a party's standard bearer for the reason
that men belonging TO an opposing party
come in and help nominate, and they
generally throw their influence to the
weakest candidate.
Candidates are bobbing up on every hand
in Floyd county as the time for holding
the primary approaches. W. A. Ennis,
Henry Walker and J. Lindsay Johnson are
now SQuarely in the race, while the friends
of Hon. Felix Corrupt are sure that he will
soon make a formal announcement Of his
candidacy for the legislature. Hon. K.
t. Fouche and DR.. w. n. Nixon VIII prob
ably join in the contest and II is intimated
that Harper Hamilton may enter the race,
while Judge r. r.. Harris is being pushed
forward in the same direction. Capt. X,
Fl. West has announced himself for tax
receiver and Will be opposed by the pres
ent incumbent, Bob Laster. The registra-
tion list is increasing daily and Floyd Will
poll a heavy vote at the primary.
Valdosta Times: Why does Mr.. Crisp
insist that the nomination" of a candi-
date for senator will be practically made
within the next two months. the whole
purpose is to force a snap judgment on
the people before the national convention
meets and before there is much discus
sion before the people. They believe that
the national convention will declare for
sound money, and if Crisp cannot fix
things in Georgia beforehand, he will
have hard road to travel trying to go
to the Senate on a platform which direct
ly antagOnizes the national democratic
platform. and which viii be the creed of
the party. With duBignon, and perhaps
Smith, running on the national platform
and himself running on the populist plat
form, he sees clearly what a struggle
there win be ahead for him.
Carrollton Times: To our certain knowl-
edge the Atlanta Cons tltution by its con-
tinual abuse of the present administra-
ton and its attempt TO foster free silver
at 10 to as a cardinal principle upon the
party regardless of history has already
weakened the party in this county. We
have heard men say that if the democratic
national convention did not declare fer
free silver that they would not vote with
the party again. Notwithst landing that
free silver will never benefit the farmers
OF Georgia one penny. The people were
satisfied until the alliance came along as
tool of the silver mine owners and began
to yell free silver crime of 1897
We Will venture the assertion that there
were not 100 men in Carroll county that
knew anything about the crime of 1873
nor knew the amount of silver that a dol
lar contained until THE alliance and the
tool OF spectators began to educate the
people and such education as 1t has done
Under ITS tutoring statesmen have been
made out OF ignoramuses-men who never
knew now 10 manage one-horse farm can
to-day give points ITO j.. p. Morgan and
other leading financiers . 7ot
