DINGLEFS DEFICIT STILE CLIMBING.
Dingley’s bill continues to
maintain its reputation as the
champion deficit-producer of the
century. Dingley and his
friends nettled at the discouraging
facts and the consequent disparag
ing comments, have had them
selves interviewed frequently of
late to convince the public that
the revenues are growing under
the new tariff law. These inter
views only tell half the story; for
while the revenues are increasing
at a very moderate rate the ex
penditures increase still more rap
idly.
The deficit of Jannary was
17,901,484, the largest January
deficit in a generation, and the
deficit for the first seven months
of the fiscal year ending January
31 was $51,901,823, or in the
neighborhood of eight millions
greater than the shortage of the
same period in 1896-7 when the

reference to his candidacy for the
same office. In fact, we are not
so sure that Judge Atkinson is in

in the mind of Judge Atkinson or
of public opinion.—Brunswick

If Hon. Allen D. Candler is
author of the card in yesterday’s

has either deliberately, or to put
it more charitably unwittingly,
struck a blow at a faction who
has not yet offered any obstacle
to his candidacy, but who might,
and undoubtedly would, have
contributed greatly to his eiection.
Unless Colonel Candler had as
surance, doubly sure, that this
faction intended fighting him the
card is untimely.

Spencer R. Atkinson.
The Telegraph does not know
what Judge Spencer R. Atkinson’s
intentions are in regard to the sug
gestion of his name in connection
with the governorship. Perhaps
he does not know himself what he
will do. Most likely he will take
time to look the field over before
he comes to a decision. This
would be natural and prudent. It
is not our function as an impartial
newspaper to endeavor to promote
or to pull down individuals who
may enter the democratic primary,
but it is our duty and will be our
pleasure at all times to demand
fair play.
There are a few newspapers in
Georgia that labor under the im
pression that all that is necessary
to blast the budding hopes of an
aspirant is to connect him, by in
sinuation only, with the despised
“goldites,” or, as they are at other
times called, “Clevelandites.”
The most absurd break of that
kind is the . effort to make it ap
pear that these unwashed and un
terrified democrats are promoting
the Spencer R. Atkinson boom;
that it is the tool of the gold bugs,
and is to be put up to do their bid
ding. To fortify the more effect
ually against him and his alleged
backers it is now urged that Col
Candler “is one of the ‘old guard
of the Georgia democracy and was
one of the most conspicuous of
those who took advance ground
in the effort to send from Georgia
to the national convention of the
party at Chicago a delegation
which would rise superior to the
blandishments of party patronage
and which would declare openly
and unequivocally in favor of the
free coinage of both gold and sil
ver.”
Very good. Then he was op
posed to the Chicago platform of
1892, which was at that time the
party creed and which declared
for the gold standard, and he
worked to bring about a change in
creed. Again, we say, very good.
That was his right. That same
right some of us are exercising
now, but there are those who
would rule us out of the party on
account of it. Not Candler, how
ever.
Let that pass for the present.
But do the little ignoramuses
who are trying to saddle Spencer
Atkinson on the “goldbugs,” or
rather who are trying to saddle
the “goldbugs” on Spencer Atkin
son, know the political history of
Georgia in general, and of Atkin
son in particular?
In the year 1892 Judge Atkin
son resigned his seat on the bench
in the Brunswick circuit and con
tested with Hon. H. G. Turner for
the democratic nomination for con
gress He planted himself on
the demands made at that time by
the Farmers’ Alliance. With the
fewest minor differences those de
mands were incorporated in the
Chicago platform of 1896—free
silver being then, as now, the dis
tinct cardinal doctrine. The judge
made the gamest fight ever waged
in Georgia. He had every news
paper in the district, with one pos
sible exception, against him. He
had to meet the charges of being
in opposition to the national plat
form. In addition to these handi
caps, he had to meet the strongest
man and best debater in Georgia.
Although he stood calling them
back and urging them to stand by
him and make the fight inside the
party, the Farmers’ Alliance re
fused to enter the democratic pri
maries and organized the populist
party. Of course he went down
in defeat.
The Telegraph believed then
and it believes now that Atkinson
was wrong and that Turner was
right. The Telegram stands now
where it stood then. But in the
whirligig of time and in the evolu
tion of the guises of populism At
kinson has lived to see the demo
cratic organization come to him.
In a sense he has been vindicated.
The democracy of today, measured
by the platform of 1896, is noth
ing more or less than the populism
of which Atkinson was accused in
the memorable campaign of 1892
in the eleventh district.
After the fight was over the At
lanta Constitution decorated its
editorial page with effusive com
pliments to the democrats of that
district in general, and to Mr.
Turner in particular, for the vic
tory won. It said that he was the
true exponent of the democratic
faith.
But as we have shown things
have changed since Betsy died.
Turner is in voluntary retire
ment because he could not shift
with the fickle winds. He stands
today a mute and powerful figure
in Georgia—the embodyment of
consistency and the soul of politi
cal honor. His name will be hon
ored and his example emulated by
the honest student in the future
of Georgia history.
Neither has Atkinson changed.
Things have come his way. The
doctrines which we are told Allen
Candler taught in 1896 Spencer
Atkinson preached on every stump
the eleventh district in 1892.
He was just four years ahead of
his party. He led the way. Others
followed afar off. Some of the
very fellows who are accusing him
of consorting and conniving with
gold bugs now called him a popu
list then.
Oh, Betsy, why did you flicker
and die ! See the fickle natures
of men pent up no longer playing
smash with things !
Spencer Atkinson, the candidate
of the gold bugs! Mossback old-
timers from Pigeon Roost and
Possum Trot, the first at the
sepulcher of silver and the anoint
ed of Ocalaism! Can these things
be!

Little Rock, Ark., Feb.
One of the most horrible crimes
ever perpetrated in the state took
place five miles north of Mulberry,
in Franklin county last night.
Sol F. Autrey, a farmer, accom
panied by his family, went out yes
terday morning to visit his aged
father and mother living near
Mulberry. Shortly after his arriv
al Autrey become engaged in a re
ligious argument with old folks.
Suddenly he grasped an iron bar,
killed his aged father, mother and
his 10-year-old son and seriously
wounded his wife and three re-

deadly work, his wife and eldest
daughter made their escape, notify

neighbor arrived the man was
standing in the door, swearing he
would kill any one who dared to
enter. Other neighbors came and
found Autrey a raving manic, with
his clothing on fire. He was over
powered and the sight that met
their eyes was appalling, three
dead victims on the floor, beaten,
burned and mangled almost be

chained all day, talking incoher

the cause of the act and that the
last lick was when he killed his
boy and then says he awoke.

Nature’s Demands.
From want of muscles soon be
come diseased. This is shown
first by their losing the power of
fully contracting and becoming
soft and flabby and surrounded
and permeated with—the last
thing the blood makes and the first
thing it gets rid of,
Used muscles contract strongly
and burn up the surplus fat in and
around them.
The only function of muscles is
to contract or shorten. This pow
er is lost if they are not used. N o-
tice, for instance, the overlarge ab
domen or the round shoulder stoop
of persons who do not use the ab
domen and nature’s shoulder

Nature demands that the body
be used or she will deform it. If
one uses the muscles to much it
will result in malformation of the
body. All parts must be given
proportional use.
