ATKINSON THE MAN
Colored Voters Will Vote For the Gov
ernor, Says Editor Gordon
THE RACE WILL NO F PROVE UNGRATEFUL
Cases Cited to Prove That Colored Repub
licans Can Hope F.»r Nothing
From I*opulis*s.
A. A. Gordon, the editor of the At
lanta Reporter, and one of the best
informed colored men in the state,
states that he believes at least three
fourths of the negro voters of Georgia
will cast their votes for Mr. Atkinson
for governor.
Speaking of the political situation
from the colored man’s point of view
Gordon said:
“We have been left free to exercise
the right of franchise in the state
election by an order of the state cen
tral committee and no other order
from any source is morally binding.
It is our duty to vote for McKinley,
but we are bound by party ties to vote
for no one else. In October we will
cast our votes for those men who are
and have been friendly toward the
colored citizens of Georgia—men who
have executed the law regardless of
partisanship.
“The comptroller’s report shows 111.-
000 colored and 180,000 white polls in the
state, and I am safe to say that not less
than 75 per cent of the colored vote will
be cast for Mr. Atkinson, who has been a
governor of the people. I say this with
no timidity or restraint, for while I can
say nothing for or against Mr, Wright,
the colored citizens throughout Georgia
will bear me out in what I may say favor
able to Mr. Atkinson
“Os all former governors Alexander H.
Stephens was the most impartial. He
treated the colored men of the state justly
—more fairly than ever before. He
worked hard to improve an infamous con
vict lease system. Where Mr. Stephens
left oil Mr. Atkinson began. He labored
hard to put a stop to all mismanagement
in convict camps and his success has been
greater than that of any of his prede
cessors.
“Mr. Atkinson has clearly shown that
ultimately he intends to put a com
plete stop to convict abuses, and he
will succeed if allowed to continue
the good work already begun by re
election to the governorship.
“Populists claim that Governor At
kinson has imposed upon the pardon
ing power vested in his hands. They
cite that he pardoned a white man
who acknowledged to having killed a
poor, innocent negro. The true his
tory of this case shows that the real
conspiracy in this murder was a white
populist, whom a populist jury let go
free. The prisoner was represented
by populist lawyers.
An Interesting Case Cited.
“The following clipping from the
Washington Chronicle of Septembei 7,
1895, puts a new light on the situation,
which the populists don’t seem to appre
ciate :
“ ‘We feel it our duty to call the atten
tion of our patrons to the following
shocking story of lawlessness and crime a
few weeks since.
“ ‘Perry Butler, a respectable colored
citizen of Wilkes county, was foully mur
dered while at work on his little farm.
“ ‘Butler had a lawsuit withone James
L. Sutton, a white populist, who is now
held in jail under the charge of murder.
The subject of the lawsuit was a hog and
the judge who heard it decided the case
in favor of Perry Butler.
“Though tha d. e sion was a perfectly
just one, it so enraged Sutton that he
hired two men, John Dunaway and
Robert Hinton, both populists, to do
away with poor Butler; as stated,
Butler wasplowing in his field wheu
these two men came up behind him
and literally riddled his body with
bullets. One of the horrible features
of the crime, which has no equal in
history, was the fact that Butler was
one armed, the other stump of an
arm was tied to the plowhandle, so
that he could plow, and when he was
shot his mule took fright, ran away
and dragged the corpse of the mur
dered man for miles through fields
and woods. John Dunaway, one of
Sutton’s hirelings, made good his es
cape, but the other, Robert Hinton,
was captured and has confessed the
dreadful story told above. All of
these men are populists and we are in
formed that most of the populists in
the county back Sutton up in his
blood-curdling butchery of a good
colored citizen.
“Do the colored citizens of Georgia
want protection of their lives against
mob violence?
“Some of the white republicans tell
you ‘it is better for the party that
you help the populist.’ W cat the ne
gro of Georgia needs most is protec
tion of his fireside.
Proh bitton iu South
“Every respectable man wantelaws
throughout the state regulating such
traffic and trading as tend to operate
against the morals of the people.
“We colored people are in favor of
placing such safeguards around the
rum shops as to make it almost im
possible for Mich places to t,e tempta
tions. But to legislate whisky out of
Georgia only means what it does in
South Carolina—more whisky and
meaner whisky. Even the white peo
ple in that state can’t hold a joint de
bate without breaking up in a row
and a fight. It’s not so in Georgia.
“The present law is good enough,
and Dr. Candler, who declined to take
part in this political fight, knows it.
Mr. Wright knows it Dr. Gambrell
knows it. We colored republicans will
ASK the recovered
pvm dyspeptics, bilious
sufferers, victims of
CmW * _ f f ever and ague, the
mercurial diseased
fl patient, how they re-
w covered health, cheer-

The Cheapest. Purest and Best Family
Medicine in the World!
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, Bilious attacks, SICK HEADACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
!t will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev.
J. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq., Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Li ver Regulator, but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relievea, but cured us.”—Ed.

The Old Newfoundland Fisheries
It has always been a common notion
that for the first half of the sixteenth
century the French, Spanish and Portu
guese had the Newfoundland fishery to
themselves. Judge Prowse disposes sum
marily of this idea and brings forward
ample proof not only that the English
fishing fleet was there in great strength,
but that for the whole century, and most
certainly from the accession of Eliza
beth, it ruled this heterogeneous float
ing colony in most masterful fashion.
Spain was computed to have 6,000 sail
ors on the banks at this period. Portu
gal was not very far behind her, while
France was probably more strongly rep
resented than either.
Though no question was made of the
right of all these nations to equal share
in the trade, the supremacy of the Brit
ish seamen, chiefly from Devonshire,
half fishermen, half pirates, seems never
to have been disputed, or never, at any
rate, successfully disputed. The soil of
Newfoundland or Terra Nuova, it is
true, was then of no moment. Its value
was merely that of a refuge in stress of
weather and a place upon which to dry
and pack the spoils of the deep. But
upon this seemingly barren foothold the
English adventurers, with that acquis
itive instinct which foreign nations and
ourselves are just now calling by such
different names, kept from the first a
firm and jealous grip, while in the float
ing and, upon the whole, peaceful re
public, which spent half of every year
between the desert shores of Labrador
and the grim headland of Cape Ray,
onr countrymen seem to have secured
for themselves undisputed sway.—Mac
millan’s Magazine.
Baths In Russia.
Filthy as Russia is, the filthiest houses
in the country are those reserved for the
public baths. Gloomy buildings always,
few are the Englishmen who could sub
mit to the atmosphere of them for a few
minutes. But the Russian revels in
them. Taking his ease upon a bench, he
watches the whole room filled with a
steamy vapor, and in this steam he stews
until he feels he has had full value for
his money. An attendant then throws a
few buckets of cold water over him, and
he goes his way a happy, but, it must
be admitted, still a dirty man.—St.
Petersburg Correspondence.
Lemons Used as Soap.
Lemons are used for soap in many
countries where they grow. When the
men and women of the West Indies
want to wash their bands, they squeeze
the juice of a lemou over them briskly
in water until they are clean.
