principle, who would have pot the fed
eral o trees'
••I have answered to the call of ray
party in every emerpency. and battled
for its flap in every contist. I now ask
for ro reward, but would like to be piven
an equal opportunity with other men
who now compete with me for an office in
the party's pift.
EVAN'S LACK OF PARTY WORK.
“1 know the hold the leaders have upon
the party, but as one f the younpei pen
era t ion 1 now meet one who has rendered
no known and sipnal s* rvice to his party
for the last twenty-live years. If he
posed as a leader in the dark days of re
construction, his fritnds have failed to
show it. In I mm. the uuderstandinp was
that my friend had an ambition
to he governor, an ambition which
he only postioned till a more pro
pitious occasion To warrant such an
ambition, ho must have tendered some
distinguishable service to his party. If
he did. 1 call upon him to inform the peo
ple what it was. We note his activity in
organizing Kvaus clubs in IMH: how many
tiemo ratio clubs did he urpani/e in IMfc.'
To-day you will hear his eloquent voice
raised in behalf of his own candidacy: I
call upop him to prove on how many oc
casions he raised that voice for the Dem
ocratic party in IMI2. It is unpardonable
to doubt that a man so patriotic failed to
offer his services If he did to whom
were they offered, and when! A
man who is a recoptiized popular
leader, and who finds a spontaneous move
ment for himself in IS'J4, can not have
been overlooked in that auspicious year.
But we have no record of such services.
A man who is so able, to organize for him
self ought to organize a little bit for his
party. The man who can leave his busi
ness and calling and make stump speeches
for himself, when his own fortunes
are at stake, ought to be able
to do something when his party is
in peril. A democrat who does
not do this lias no right to ask the ]>eo
ple of Georgia for favors " The speaker
here referred to the news from Washing
ton of Senator Colquitt being stricken
down and paid an enconium to liis party
services.
EVANS’ CALLED ON FOR A SHOWING.
But passing from party services to the
service of the state, lie asked what his
friend (Gen. I-vans) had done for state.
!>arty, common schools or legislative re
ief for the people. It was difficult to
ovoid reference to his own services in
making the commissioner ef agriculture
elective, express and telegraph compa
nies placed under government supervi
sion, of oil inspectors made to lessen their
fees *15,000 annually and the amount
turned in toward the education of children
etc., but when did ( Jen. Kvans ever save
you a dollar; In the settlement of the
Betterments question he (Atkinson)
had served the state as attorney and
saved *1,250,000 in betterments, but be
had been paid for that and considered it
settled, fie had helped the common
schools and introduced a bill by which
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
{school for the education of white girls
had been established. With his aid the
common school fund had been raised from
*•100,000 to $1,250,000 a year.
THE ATLANTA KING.
He paid his respects to the Atlanta
ring, and said that he had never called it
a ring, that it was simply the Atlanta
politicians making war upon him, but as
the Atlanta papers had called it a ring,
probably they knew what they were
talking about. However, iie had many
warm friends in Atlanta and hoped to open
their exposition for them next year.
He referred to the fact of
most of the offices being gobbled by At
lanta in the last twenty-five years, and
said he wanted to see a more even distri
bution. “One candidate must go down in
defeat. If defeated, 1 will take the
stump in every section of Georgia for the
nominee. Will my opponent, if I am nom
inated. go before the people and aid in
m,v election as I would aid in his.'
Where does he stand on issuing bonds?
I am opposed myself to issuing more
bonds. 1 ask these questions be
cause I want to know on what he bases
his candidacy, and I want to know if he
is not nominated if he will join our ranks
and tight for us. in this struggle against
our common foes we will call for every
working democrat and see if we cannot
make our majority this lime, with Gen.
Evans’ aid, more than TO,(Dill.” Mr. At
kinson closed with an eloquent innovation
and was followed by prolonged applause.
EVANS REPLIES.
Gen. F.vans arose to make hisjjspeoch
and was greeted by loud and prolonged
applause in the center where the Atlanta
contingent was located and by a good part
of the crowd. He said: I want to speak
in words of truth and soberness. It mav
be difficult for me to be heard, although 1
have an extreme desire to be of service
now even if I have never been of any use
in my life This greeting strikes my
heart with the liveliest gratitude to the
people of my whole state. 1 had rather
nave their esteem than the crown of
kings. Whoever seeks to rob me of this
esteem is like a highway robber.
THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
“Hear me, for my cause, and pardon
the presumption of the great tody of the
people of this state, of w hich HM) counties
and 100 newspapers have dared to offer
my name as governor. I declare with un
affected diffidence that I do not feel com
petent. in my limited time, to discuss the
broad questions of the day as they have
been discussed in times past by the great
orators to whom you have listened.
DeKalb, Ben Hill, Jenkins and Joe
Brown, whatever we may think of the
opinions of another now here. I am
glad Mr. Atkinson is here, and congratu
late him on the soundness of his democ
racy. It does an old democrat like me
good down to the bottom of his old con
federate heart to tmd men of so much
ability as himself, sound to the core and
true to the party. This great state has
so progressed for the last twenty-five or
thirty years that my honored friend, who
was but a wagon boy at the beginning,
can now come upon a decorated car.
HIS W AR RECORD.
“We are not to be led away by appeals
to passion or prejudice. lam glad that
the people of old Coweta are here. It
sent into my command men who were
with me and stood by me till the verv
last at Appomattox. Old Coweta, I would
not lose your love for anything. Noble
soldiers and sons of soldiers of Meri
wether. your fathers know that 1 did do
something. Men of Pike, Monroe. Jack
son and Spalding, 1 will not have to
praise myself, I will ask them to beat
witness for me My political opinions
and work have b. en at the service of m.v
state in whatever capacity I was able to
bestow them.
ATKINSON NOT A LEADER.
“f-ast September a great paper de
manded my views, and although I ob
jected to au interview, I submitted to one.
in w hich 1 fully and frankly stated my
views. It went over the state, and 1 never
found any democrat or democratic news
paper that declared anything therein
stated contrary to democracy, or the in
terests of the people. Two or three
weeks afterward my old heart
was again made glad to find
inv opponent bad the same views.
Several most distinguished Georgians
declined to run, but on the first of Janu
ary my honored opponent considered it
his duty to object in my candidacy and
to give his personal reasons. The only
difference iK'twe, a us is that be think-'I
ought not to be governor and be ought. 1
can't talk mu* ii Throughout four debates
lam obliged to be the chain!.ion of the-peu
pie who have forced my candidacy and
leave to any opponent the novel position
el bring thft champion of himself.”
A I.ISOI ISITION ON GOVERNMENT.
Gen. Kvans here launched into a regu
lany prepared disquisition on the sub.oct
of government, paternal, centralized,
monarchic and despotic, during which his
followers cheered. He went back to tiie
declaration of indei>endence and gradu
ally fought his way up to the McKinley
bill.
(.Jen. Evans s lid that ail such debates
might have been avoided, but he bad
been called upon to make them and was
endeavoring to do so. The complexion of
the parties in official management has
now changed, although they have not
been quite fast enough in turning the
rascals out You are not satisfied with
the financial aspect. I am not satis
fied either. We are all Georgians,
whether populists or democrats. I never
cussed anybody and don’t intend to now.
1 am too venerable for that sort of busi
ness. I stand up to the true interpreta
tion of the Georgia and Chicago plat
forms and think they should bo carried
out as rapidly as possible.’’
RESOI'RCES OF THE STATE.
The speaker here made a panegyric
upton the wealth and resources of the
state and introduced statistics to show it.
and said that we should work together to
develop them. "Kook to the inductions
of little towns and we won’t have to lie
whooped up by any attack upon
the Atlanta ring.” Mr. Evans said
that he had made some speeches,
though not printed enough to have
attracted attention. He had belonged to
agricultural societies, and could not have
done more for bis country, unless he had
a seat in the legislature. We ought to
have the roads improved. He had writ
ten on the subject and attended the road
congress. Ho was one of the peoplo and
believed just as they did on popular sub
jects.
THE HOME NOT AN ISSUE.
He endorsed all that Mr. Atkinson said
on state matters and tried to show that
the soldiers’ home was not an issue. The
trustee proposed to sell it by order of
court and invest the proceeds for the
benefit of the indigent confeder
ates. As to pensions he said that
sentiment had crystalized that way before
Mr. Atkinson took his seat in the legis
ture. But this could not relieve all. One
man had died in a negro hut and others
had been begging on the streets until
Henry Grady asked the state to build a
home for that class. As for pensions for
widows, the Ladies’ Memorial Associa
tion made the demand for that, and there
was only one demand for that, and there
was one man, a lieutenant colonel of my
command, wounded at Manassas, John T.
Connor, of Atlanta, who deserved all the
credit for it. Mr Atkinson says he has
done more for the confederate soldier
than any epauletted brigadier, but the
southern brigadier did not wear epaulets.
NATIONAL ISSUES.
On national issues Gen. Evans declared
himself on both platforms, state and
national, just as written without any ne
cessity of further interpretation. “Just
as far as Ocalaism is democratic, I am in
favor of that; just as far as it is contrary.
I am opposed to it. I see nothing
in the resolution referred to that
is contrary to democracy. I am
perfectly satisfied with it, but don’t
believe in it. I don't take issue as this
vote. He declared himself in favor of
more money and free and unlimited coin
age and just as much as the law will al
low, and thought that the exact ideas of
our fathers should be carried out. ll*
endorsed the position of his opponent on
the tariff as well as financial questions
and the repeal of the state bank tax.
PERSONAL ISSUES.
Coming down to personal issues, he
thought that Mr. Atkinson had been fully
paid for his services b,v his honors. While
lie had claimed to have done so much,
there was somebody else round about.
The farmers are entitled to the credit of
selecting the commissioner of agricul
ture. The girls normal college is a great
thing, but it was written about several
years before Mr. Atkinson in
troduced such a bill. As re
gards the betterments on the
state road there were thousands who
would have been glad to appear before
the board without any compensation, yet
here is Mr. Atkinson’s receipt for SI,OOO.
He says lam so feeble an old man as not
to be lit for the office of governor. He says
lam 71 years of age. He knows that 1
am not 70 years of age. 1 would be
a rascal, knave or fool to thrust myself
on the state without being
able mentally or physically to
manage its affairs. He charges me with
being a preacher.”
Here time was called and there were
cheers and music by the Baruesville band.
ATKINSON’S REJOINDER.
As Mr. Atkinson rose to make his re
joinder, the cheers were deafening for
some moments. He finally said: “I am
due Mr. Kvans an apology, I understood
on creditable authority that he was 70
years old. If I had known he was so
sensitive on the score of age I would have
corrected it long ago. I have simply stuck
by his figures. I did not say he was too
weak or feeble to enter upon the
duties of the office to which he
aspires, but 1 did say that the man who
has ven his whole heart and life for
thirty years for other objects is not pre
pared tor state service. Pass that by,
and judge by bis record and speech to
day. No man can be a successful leader,
or carry forward any measures for the
people who shirks an issue. I called
upon him to state what position hd took
on the soldiers' home question, and he
dodged the question.”
Mr. Kvans arose and said that he had
been misunderstood. He did not make
this an issue, and did not intend to urge
the acceptance or move acceptance of the
home by the legislature. He thought the
trustees had made the proper request in
asking the courts to sell the home and
use the money for the benefit of the sol
diers.
Mr. Evans could hardly bo heard, but
Mr. Atkinson quieted the crowd and re
peated his statements after him. and then
said that he was glad tp have made the
wonderful achievement of converting a
minister of the gospel. He read Mr. Kv
ans’. published interview in the Atlanta
Journal to show that he wanted to bring
the soldiers home before each successive
legislature until it was adopted. "1
asked him if in 1800 he
did not want to be governor
and he failed to answer and disdains to
give grounds for not running. Hut here
is a letter from him stating that if the
people demand it he is willing to sacrifice
himself, -but 1 most frankly say that my
many obligations why they exist to tho
church, stand in the way of my candi
dacy.’ The farmers’ alliance was pretty
strong then, you know.
“1 have asked him what services he
rendered to the party any time it was
needed and he has not replied.
“As for the sdJKH) 1 received for saving
the stateJl2s,Uo(l on the betterments ques
tion Clifiord Anderson and John 1. Hall
decided the legality of that and why
attack Gov. Northen for making that ap
pointment. He endorses tho soundness
of my views. I want every man to know
pro isel.v where 1 stand. 1 want free sil
ver, you know when does my friend in
his interview says he wants it' He wants
it only by international agreement. He
says not a word that could hot be uttered
by a gold-bug or a rnonometallist. He
only indorsed the income tax if the tariff
would not produce sufficient revenue.
When did these 100 counties act that my
friend leasts about as having brought
him out! The men who edit 100 newspa
pers can not vote oftener than the men
who plow UK) mules. When did you hoar
front him about the confederate soldiers
until he began to organize them just pre
vious to this campaign.
At the close of the speaking both re
ceived an ovation on the platform and
every few feet that they proceeded.

There is some talk of putting up a small

Miss Mollie, daughter of our J. W.
Frink,died at her home, seven miles from
town, under particularly sad circum
stances Monday morning. She had been
suffering a great deal with her throat, and
during the night took a dose of morphine
to alleviate her suffering and put her to
sleep. It is supposed, being in the dark
and not knowing the dangerous nature of
the drug, she took au overdose. When
found by the family' in the morning she
was in a stupor. They did what they
could for her and sent for a doctor, but
she was too far gone, and nothing could
save her. She was about 20 years old
very pretty and extremely popular.
WARE’S POPULISTS.

J. B. Osborne spoke for two hours at
the court house this afternoon and again
in front of the Southern hotel to-night.
Mr. Osborne is 25 years old, and, like Ren
Tillman, of South Carolina, is one-eyed
and a good debater. He says he has
made 750 speeches in twenty-two states
during the last two years in behalf of the
third party. His home is in Atlanta,
where lie was at one time a member of
the Salvation Army. Osborne, were it
not for his plain colored shirt and soft
hat, would be taken for a country'
preacher.
GLYNN COUNTY TAXES.
The Governor Asked to Further Post
pone Their Collection.
Atlanta, (la., March 21.—Gov. Northen
to-day received a lengthy petition from
citizens of Brunswick, asking him to
further suspend the collection of taxes in
Glynn county until the legislature meets
next fall. At its last union, the legisla
ture bv resolution suspended the i ollec
tion of taxes in Glynn county until May 1,
on account of the business demoralization
caused by the yellow fever epidemic. In
view of the fact that the legislature took
action on the matter the governor is
doubtful about granting the petition. He
will consider the matter carefully, how
ever, but at present does not think he can
grant it.

COLOUTT AT DEATH’S DOOR
Recovery From His Prostration Al
most Impossible.
The Senator Conscious Until Night,
But Speechless He Realizes the
Fears of Hio Family, and all That is
Going on About Him His Will
Power Strong But the Flesh Weak.
His Doctor Gives Him Up.
Washington, March 21. Georgia's
senior senator still lie low, with little or
no hope of his recovery. Life seems
ebbing by inches. The undauntable
courage which has kept him living for
the past twelve months may yet stretch
the shadow off his life upon the earth a
few days longer. He is conscious, but
speechless, anxious to sustain the spark
of life left, but unable to swallow to give
it sustenance. Tie only perceptible
change since last nicht is an increased
weakness. He has lain on his back for
twenty-four hours unable to move, and
only makes his wants known by pressing
the hand. A change was expected at
daybreak, but he slept through the criti
cal moments and awoke when the sun
was full up. He was more exhausted than
when he fell asleep and the signs of his
rallying were fewer.
NOT A SECOND STROKE.
His family deny that this illness is a
second stroke of paraly sis. “It is simply
a giving way of a worn out body', with no
vitality left,” said one of his family to
day’; “His will power has kept him alive
for tvo years, and while that seems as
strong as ever, there is little for it to
work upon.”
There is no fever, no nausea, only a con
stant wasting. He has watched every
movement in his room to-day and seems
to realize the fears of his family, and un
derstands his own condition. He thought
himself improving and looked forward
to getting well even up to
Monday. The last time he ap
peared in the Senate chamber
he entered {in his chair, and seemed about
as usual. He overtaxed his strength in
order to test his powers and prove the
realization of his hopes. He went to the
Senate once too often, for that night he
was taken ill.
IN A QUIET STREET.
He lives on a quiet street east of the
capitol, where there is usually little
noise. No carriages have been allowed
to pass his home to-day and a dead silence
reigns in the neighborhood. So does the
soul of Georgia's senior senator seems
slipping silently away. His family wait
forthe morning with fear. Itmust bring
a change for the better or else the end is
very near.
Prayers were offered this morning by
the blind chaplain in the Senate for his
recoyery, ami it does seem that divine
providence alone can keep the spirit from
passing beyond. Every member of the
upper house has offered assistance, but
all are powerless to help the weary
sufferer.
BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS.
At 11 o'clock to-night Senator Colquitt
was reported to be slowly sinking. His
nephew said that he had lost all con
sciousness and that dissolution was only
a matter of about a half dozen hours at
the longest. He might die at any moment
and might live until morning." The at
tending physician stated that the senator
was beyond medical skill, and ho would
not visit him again unless summoned.
Senator Colquitt's bowels are said to
be paralyzed, and the physicians reluc
tantly admit that his death is but a mat
ter of time. The absent members of the
senator’s family have been telegraphed
for.
HIS CONDITION NO WORSE.
Washington, March 22, 1, a. m.—At 1
o’clock this morning Senator Colquitt is
apparently in Just as good condition as lie
has been during the day. There is ap
parently no change for the worse, and
his family think he may be a shade bet
ter. Dr. Walsh does not fear dissolution.
He thinks the end is not far off, but it is
possible that the senator may last for
several days yet.
EXPENSES OF THE SHERIFFS.
The Attorney General Decides That
the State is Not Liable.
Atlanta, Ga., March 21. Attorney
General Terrell has rendered his opinion
on the liability of the state for the ex
penses of the sheriffs called on to sun
press the Corbett-Mitchell prize fight.
I’he decision is that the state cannot pay
the expenses of the sheriffs for services
rendered in their own counties. Tho
amount of the expenses of the sheriffs for
services rendered in their own counties is
only 854.04, and this is the amount tho
state cannot pay. In other cases where,
under the direction of the governor, the
sheriffs performed duties outside their
own counties the attorney general holds
that the state is liable.
Of the sheriff’s who acted only inside
their counties the attorney general says:
"It being tho duty of these officers to
perform these services, and there being
a law providing for their compensation
by their respective counties, it is my
opinion that this portion of tho account
is not such a claim as ma.v be paid out of
the contingent fuud and. that these offi
cers must either procure their extra com
pensation in the manner pointed out by
law from their respective counties, or
through special legislative enactment.”
It is held that the state is liable for
the expense of Sheriff John Ellis, of Ap
pling county, who went to Jacksonville
by tne governor’s order to get pointers on
the movements of the pugilists. All the
warrants for the expenses of the famous
Waycross campaign have now been paid.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts ou the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, hut it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Cos. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
incept, any substitute if offered. *

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
; must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstruoted dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience X have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics In New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of 'ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that wtif
strengthen and improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. 77-e charge for examination.
