A. O. Bacon is the favorite with the Washington county demo crats for United States senator. —Mid- dle Geotgia Progress. According to the Atlanta Constitu tion, General Evans entered the race for Governor of Georgia with the poorest chance of election eyor offered an aspirant to that high and responsible position. Every county that has acted up to date the Atlanta Constitution says was con ceded to Atkinson by maj >ritiesranging all the way from 200 to 500, and if its statements are to lie accepted as true, General Evans is getting only those counties which wore c meed and to Atkin son and goes to the General simply by chance and considerable effort on the part of his friends. —<a ♦— The Pike County Journal stated in its last issue that Hon. Alex Atkins >n would make the race for congress from this district on the Populist ticket. We saw Mr. A k nson Monday and he was p *ft cil.v dumbfounded when shown the accusation. 11* says it is an utter false hood, most absurd in its entirety. He will rest bi claims solely upon the Chi cago plat form of the Democratic party, and would not accept the position as a gift on tin* Populist ticket. Mr. A’kin son has always been a true supporter of the pi ii ciples of Jcffesonian L)< tnocracy, and no mm in our county has done more towards showing the uttei fo’ly of a third party than the Hon. Mr. Atkinson, lie has it ever been lavoranie to populism nor expressed any intention of soon be coming so He is a straight out demo crat of the “dyed in-the-wool” stripe, and in him our county has an lion rable citizen and democracy a most faitl ful champion and a dent supporter of its principle!. We hope this will place Mr. Atkinson right before the people as nothing was more abured than the Jour nals statement. THIS 16 RIGHT. Lftst Friday t!ie grand jury of the Unite' 1 Stales e urt stru.k the key note to the situation. Mean deputy marshals and “professional” witnesses can cause a lot of untie essarv trouble and should he set down on by all good ueople. The grand juries of tlie different counties might lookout tor something of the kind. The jury above mentioned says; “We find, by a rigid examination of w itnesses that many cases are brought to this court through motives of re venge for real or fancied personal grievance, and that those bringing them hate little or no regaid for the sanctity of an oath. In such cases a conscientiou-jur\ i> unwilling to find true mils unless the evidence of such witnesses is >trongly corroborated by other testimony, and ive would, theie fore, suggest that thi.* court should im press all United States commissioners the importance of-ecuring, ifpossi ble, more than one witness in all cases which are s ut up for iuves igationby a grand jury.” The ilex' sect on caused a ripple of sensation throughout the court room and the faces of the officers of the. court showed genuine surpri-e s it was being read. Continuing, Colonel Seals r ad: “We hare had bills of indictment presented at this term under which parties have been arrested and ini piisnied when there was no evidence whatever to sustain the charges, amt yet the eotnmis>iotiers have collected the usual fees. \Ve would, therefore, tvopecifullv suggest that all fees be withheld in all eases which are not accompanied with sufficient evidence to authorize an inve>tig • tiou and to warrant a case ot probable guih.” In regard to witness the resolution read : “We wonui impress upon all officers of tbs court the importance of sup prosing the übiquitous ‘professional witness/ who fiud. it nrofltab'e to make ca.se> that he may be summoned as a witness, and thus secure mileage and wiiuees tees.” The nip of a poisonous snake is but a slight removal from being more dangerous tha * the poison of Scrofula in the blood Ayer's Sarsaparilla pur ifies ti*e tfital fluid, expels all poison ous suhgiauces, and stipp'ies theele nieuu of life, health aud strength.
