From the Dalton Argus.
In the name of humanity let us put on
the brakes. The people who pay the
taxes are entitled to as much cOnsjdera-
ton as those who get the benefit of them.
Allen D. Gambler
Now, that's the way tG talk. We have
been having too much anxiety for official
salaries, and too little consideration for
the Over-burdeurd taxpayers. That one
plank in Gamblers platform is enough 70
carry lin in by an overwhelming ma
jority-both the nomination and cleo
ton.
From the Montezuma Record.
We have not the space to spare to print
the full text of the able letters of Messrs.
duBignon and Jenkins declining to enter
the race for governor, but for the benefit
of our readers give them in condensed
form, which is as follows, tOwit: "To
the Democratic Party of Georgia: Your
Uncle Allen Gambler is candidate for
governor. We are not. See?
ELEM AND HUT"
From the Cedartown Standard
Allen Capdler has the confidence of
the people; they believe in his integrity,
and as his candidacy stands for economy
in all departments of the state govern
ment he will be recognized as the cham
pion of all who want lower taxes and a
emitting down Of public expenditures.
From the Savannah News.
The democratic party will have first

Colonel Gambler or Judge Atkinson.
They are both known as men OF ability
and high character.

There are Gambler clubs being formed
all about in the state. 1t would not be a

TAX on CELiBACY.

A bill to tax bachelors 50 per year
was introduced in the lie gislature of
New Jersey recently. When the bill
came up for a,second reading Il mem-
Der moved as an amendment that the
words, ''and Old maids" be inserted in
the instrument wherever it was
necessary eto prevent discrimination
against male celibates. The amend
ment prevailed, and cold maids" was
written in the bill, which passed to
its third reading.
And as q matter Of equity and JUS
tice, says the savannah News, why
should not the amendment have been
passed? All Of the old bachelors are
not to blame for their condition of
"single cussedness.' In a great many
instances they are unmarried because
of circums stances over which they had
no control and it would be rank dis
elimination to tax them while permit
ting the old maids to go free Suppose
that an old bachelor had become one
through the fact that the girl of his
choice had promised to "be sister to
him, and would be nothing more;
would it be right to tax the man and
lei the woman off? Should the men
go around advertising their hearts at
bargain sales, and throwing in
chrome for lagniappe, in order to get
married Should man be mulcted
for 81 per year if perchance nature Las
made him modest; too modest to pop
the question to the girl he likes best

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS.

Important developments have oc-
Cured in state politics within the past
week, and what promised to be quiet
and uneyentful campaign is assuming
a degree of warmth that insures prob
ably the hottest contest ever witness
ed among the democrats Of Georgia.
The unwarranted publication in
Rome of personal letter written by
Colonel Allen D. Gambler, IN which he
criticised the methods of "the men
who control" has openly arrayed some
Of that element against him. These
men claim that the letter was a deep
affront to them, and, using it as pre-
text for what they would doubtless
have done anyhow, have induc-
ed Judge Spencer r. Atkinson of the
state railroad commission to announce
himself a candidate for governor
against Colonel Gambler. There are
good reasons for believing that the on
ly effect of the letter has been to hast
en- Judge AtkinsOn's announcement
and draw the lines little earlier than
otherwise would nave been done.

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

The third annual bapQuat of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers OF
the United States, which took place
last night at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
in New York, was one of the largest
and most elaborate affairs of the kind
ever given in that city. One thousand
guests who paid SIS each were seated
at the tables.
President Mckinley was present and
made speech.
The banquet hall was nagniticently
decorated, the tiers of boxes being
draped with silken banners. The
Presidents flag was suspended over
the head of the table from the Presi
dents box. The tables were elaborate
ly decorated with flowers and ported
plants The dais where the President
and other guests sat was also adorned
with many flowers.
The President in his speech advised
that public pressure be brought to force
legislation which will put the financial
system of the country on a better basis.
He said the currency reform question
must be met and defined his attitude and
gave his views of the duty of the reput-
lican party and the administration in
dealing with the monetary problem.
He said discussion must go on until
the path is made clear and obstacles are
removed. The government, he said,
cannot afford to use technicalities to
avoid the payment Of debts in the best
money and that until an international
agreement has been secured the gold
standard must prevail.
