Why will the Atlanta Constitution continue to assert that Bacon Is opposed to primary elections, hen it has not a particle of evidence to support the charge Bacon and correctly too, that whatever methods, the people wanted would suit him.

But he said when he resigned, that the salary was not "big enough" for him to "keep up on." It strikes a man about my size that to be Senator in the United States is a much'bigger thing than being Governor of Georgia. Now the question arises how is he to keep up on three thousand a year? when he could not on six thousand.

It is a great pity they do not profit by it. The people elected him and he did not go arounck over the State, harassing them for their votes, and obligating himself, to no man or set of men, and consequently when he got into the office he'made us a business Governor, and has shown no fear, favor affection for any, but attended to the business of his office.

All along the 170 miles, the wild country, as far as the eye could see, is principally covered in water, many houses standing on the bank of the river, with water all around them and up to the door, occasionally a little shanty set up on the high part, so as to be out of the water, and a man and his wife in their keeping house, and the chickens on top of the house.
