A FIELD DAY.
'
_.
COL. ATKINSON LOOKS OVER
THE FIELD
Deserted by the Kvui dub, Renew*
Old Itrlendship* and Make*
Many New Ones.
Col. W. Y. Atkinson arrived io tbe
city yesterday morning and spent
the day mingling with the people in
n quiet way and becoming acquaint¬
ed with hi* friends. He is a splen¬
did ’‘mixer,” with a cordial hand¬
shake and pleasant words for every¬
one, and not forgetting to pot in a
few'Hoes for himself whenever the
occasion fits. He met a great
many people and there is no doubt
that he produced a favorable im¬
pression upon all classes. Many
openly pledged him their hearty sup¬
port, and the strength that he da-
veloped, especially among the young
men, was a surprise even to his most
sanguine friends It is too early in
tbs campaign todwm a majority in
this county, though Mr. Atkinson’s
friends are the kind to turn it that
way. There are still a great many
people who have formed no choice
and are in no baste to declare them¬
selves for either candidate, while
Some would doubtless be glad to
have a third man to enter the field.
But while Geneial Evans lins devel¬
oped nearly his fall strength, having
a dearly defined sentiment to back
him and being earlier in the field, Air
Atkinson’s strength is being recruit
ed every day from the ranks of the
doubtful. With plenty of time for
this process to continue before tbe
nomination comes off, there is the
beet of reason to believe that tbe
speaker will have this county’s
delegation in the convention. It is
safe to say that Mr. Atkinson’s
strength is greater now in Griffin
than is that of General Evans; but
tbe country has paid less attention
to tbe campaign and is slower in
taking shape.
It would be very easy to make tbe
stereotyped claim of ‘‘an over¬
whelming majority,” but that is the
Atlanta wn,y and not the Griffin
News wny. Nor does Mr. Atkinson
himself claim every vote in tbe
State. He realizes folly the aixe of
the straggle and tbe obstacles in his
nay; yet he is perfectly satisfied with
the progress be has made and the
prospects of success. '
Mr. Atkinson has some staunch
old friends io Griffin as well as bis
many new ones. He earned his first
dollar banting cotton to this mar
ket from Meriwether and says he
has camped along neatly every foot
of the old Meriwether road. He has
been here many times since, though
not so often after be moved to New-
nan fifteen years ago. He also has
family connections and {schoolmates
in the county.
He left here for Macon last night, will
where be will spend today, bot
be here again during tbe campaign.
Council Proceedings.
The city council met yesterday af¬
ternoon at 4 o’clock. Present bis
Honor, Mayor Boyd, and a fall
board of aldermen with the excep¬
tion of Alderman Morris.
Minutes of last meetioff read aud
confirmed. Street committee allow¬
ed further time on petition of prop¬
erty owners to have an alley opened
from Slaton avenue to Broadway,
west of Planters' Warehouse. G. W.
Dutton, aa electric light contractor
from Atlanta, was here introduced
to the council and proceeded to give
figures iu regard to tbs cost of the
new electric light plant proposed to
be put io soon by tbe city.
As these estimates were in the
rough and more principally for in¬
formation of the council, they are
not in a shape to publish. explanations After
much discussion aud
the matter was referred to tbe elec¬
tric light committee, wbo will in con¬
junction with Mr. Dutton look
thoroughly into the matter in its
entirety, aud they will make a re¬
port at a special session ol tbe coun¬
cil next Tuesdav afternoon, tbe 30tb
iosfc., when, lie in all probability, a con¬
tract will entered iato and the
work on the new plant will be com¬
menced at as early a day as is prac¬
ticable thereafter.
It suffices here to say that tbe fig¬
ures as presented by Mr. Dutton,
who is a well informed man io every
way in the building of these plants,
were satisfactory and are considera¬
bly within the bounds of tbe amount,
which was voted on for this purpose;
then too, tbe plant will be of very
much larger capacity. from W. A.

Washington, Jan. 28.—Thu anticipa¬

At the close of the afternoon session
Mr. McMillin announced that the bill

Dlseossiag the Tariff
Washington, Jan, 28.— After trans¬
acting soma routine business tbe house
went into committee of tbe whole to
consider the tariff bill. Pending this,
however, some time was spent in deter¬
mining whether the sugar schedule
should be completed, or whether the
coal and iron ore schedule should be
taken up in pursuance of the agreement
reached Saturday.
The speaker finally ruled that the
sugar schedule should take precedence,
nnd the bouse went into committee of
the whole.
After two boors of labor the house
voted that Mr, Warner’s proposition
looking to free refined sugar, adopted at
the afternoon session, shall be treated a*
a substitute and not aa an amendment/
This releasee the house from the tangle
in which it adjourned.
The paragraph as amended was then
adopted by a demand rising vote. Yeas, 101;
nays, 88. A for tellers was re¬
ceived, bnt 18 votes were not enough to
secure them. The object of this rote is
to put all sugar—raw and refined—on
the free list. The bounty was abolished
by a vote at a former session.
Sugar schedules being disposed of, the
coal schedule was taken up and a num¬
ber of amendments were submitted to it
by Democrats from coal producing
states,

A resolution was reported from tbe
committee on foreign relations in the
senate and went over without action,
declaring tiffs it unwise and inexpedient at
time to consider any project of the
annexation of Hawaiian territory to the
United States; that the provisional gov¬
ernment there, having been duly recog¬
nised, should be allowed to pursue i ts
own line of policy, rad that ray inter¬
vention in the political affairs qf the
islands will be regarded as an act un¬
friendly to the United States.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, addressed the
senate in support of Mr. Peffer's resolu¬
tion, declaring that tbe secretary of the
treasury has no lawful authority for is¬
his suing and selling bonds as proposed ta
recent notice.
TroaMe at th« Work*.
Charleston, Jan. 23.—The negroes
employed iu several of the fertilizer
works around the city have gone out on
a strike in consequence of a redaction of
wages from $1 to 75 cents a day. The
mills have no trouble in getting labor to
supply the places idle of the strikers, as there
are thousands of negroes around the
suburbs from the sea islands. They ere
called cyclone refugees, but the strikers
will not let them work and there has
been trouble in tbe vicinity of tbe mines.
A squad of and mounted made police was sent to
the scene quite a number of
arrests.
Murdered tbs Jailer.
Greensboro, N. C., Jan. 23.— A man
named Royster, who kept the jail at
Roxboro, this state, was wardered by
two ex-convicts in tbe jail. It seems
that Royster went into a ceil occupied
by these two negroes. Hs was accom¬
panied tbe cell bv a little negro and boy. The door
