OTFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
DAWSON, GA., ApriL 4th.., 1894
e ————
Notice to the County Democratic Execu
tive Committee
A meeting ot the members of the
Democratic Executive Committee «f
Terrell county is hereby called for Sat
arday, April 14th, in the county court
room. Every member is urged to be
present, M. G. Stataam, Chairmna.
At
PRUPHETIC WORDS.
In a speech delivered at Morgan, Cal
houn county, on the Fourth of last July,
Judge J. M. Griggs gave utterance to the 1
following p:itriotic and prophetic words: i
“The congress may meet in extra ses
gion and unconditionally repeal the
Sherman silver law, but, mark my
words, the passage of a bill for uncondi
tional repeal will mean the downfall of
silver as money during this administra
tion if not for this generation. We can
not afford, my fellow citizens, to submit
the interests of our entire section in
this question to the mercies of the eas
tern money barons.” |
The truth of these words has been’
emphasized by every act of the adminis- |
tration, and, we mightsay. by a congress
elected on a platform pledging vhe party
to the coinage of bo:h silver and gold.
Many of our southern congressien aid
ed in the overthrow of silver coinage,
among them our immediate representa
tive, Mr. Russell, who voted against
continuing the coinage of the present
silver dollar.
TiE HAWKINSV.LLE DEBATE.
The editor of Ture NEws was one of
the fiftecen hundred people who heard
the last of the scries of joint debates be
tween the gubernatorial candidates at
Hawkinsville last Thursday.
Thers is no doubt that General Evans
had the advantage in the debate, espe
cially in the way he bore himself. It
was demonstrated to every unbiased
mind that the general is the most level
headed, firm, dignified and well-balanced
of the two, and got the better of Lis
fiery, impulsive and badly conceited
young opponent. Mr. Atkinson, by his
inordinate vanity and remarkable self
praise, made himself peculiarly vuluera
ble to ridicule, and General Evans
availed t imself of the powerful force of
guiet sarcasm in a way that was quite
destructive to thz greainess his opponent
had arrogated to himself. It was im
mensely enjoyed by the audience. His
wittty and keen side-thrusts went to the
spot every time, and it cannot be denied
that Mr. Atkiuson, whose self-conceit
made him a legitimate target for bright
avd good-natured sarcasm, deserved all
he got.
Two things were settled beyond dis
pute in the minds of those who had not
beard the former debates. The first of
ihese is, that General Evans is physically
strong; the second is, that he is mentally
strong. Theindiscreet Atkinson fellows
who have been calling General Evans
¢an old thing 1n his dotaze have been
rudely awakened te their erior.
As to the speeshes themsel es, Mr. At.
kinson’s was that of a politizian, while
General Evand® was frank and intelect
ual. General Evans undoubtedly made
the better speech.
General Evans did not invite these be
bates, but he did not attempt to evade
them. It would have been better for
Mr. Atkinson had they not taken place.
CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL'S paper, the
Bainbridge Democrat, says it is sheer
waste of time for the silverites to renev
their fight for free coinage. ‘‘The oues
tion,” saysthe Dem crat, ‘‘has been set
tled for the period of this administra
tion, and probably for all time. The
United States government is not likely
to ever commence the folly of such leg
islation, vor is it likely ever to get into a
national democratic platform.” Mr. Rus
sell’s home organ has evidently joined
the gold bugs. The people are for silver
coinage, as Mr. Russell will find out.
Tug recent cold wave and the presi
dent’s veto of the Bland bill go hand
in kand. One is as blasting and chilling
to the hearts of ihe people as the other
was destructive of frmit and devastating
to all classes of vegelation. The action
of M. Cleveland overwheims the south
with regret.
TeE gub>rnatorial campaign has dem
onstrated the fact 'that General Evans’
fighting days are by no means over. ]
CUR NEW SENATOR.
On Monday Governor Northen ap
pointed Hon, Patrick Walsh, of Au
~ gusta, - to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senator Colquitt.
The position had previously been ten
dered to Mr. Crisp, but was declined by
him.
Mr. Walsh's ability is admitted. He
‘has long been an important factor in
Georgia politics,and is mentally cquipped
to ably illustrate the state. But for a
long number of years he has been the
recognized leader of that faction in
Georgia which is opposed to a reduction
of the tariff on the line to which the
democratis party is committed.
The people of Dawsin have freely
’criticised the governo’s action, and if
‘ the feeling here is an index to the senti
}ment of the state there will be unmis
takable evidence of disapproval when the
legislature elects a senator for the long
term.
Mr. Walsh has always been an earnest
champion of Governor Northen. |
GENEAL EvaAxs is witty as well asi
statesmanlike. Referring to Mr. Atkin-]
son’s usual appeal for votes from the‘
young men, the gencral said he knew}
the young men who now had four-fifths
of the offices, would be generous to the
old veteran who was asking for his first.
“We only want a division,”” said he.
“That’s all I ask,” said Mr. Atkinson.
“Well, agreed,”” was the general's
prompt rejiinder, ‘‘but I'll take mine
now. You've had five and this is the
first I've asked for.”
CoLONEL ATKINsON claims to be a lit
tle superior to anyhody else in point of
hrains, qualifications and party service.
His friends are zealously working this
racket, and while they rant, work and
werry the colonel is growing weaker.
It appears plainer every day that he will
not go Into the convention at all. "Fhere
will be no use of it,
A NoTABLE thing about the meeting cf
the thira party folks in Dawsoun Satur
day was the lack of enthusiasm usually
displayed by them. 1t is true they
adopted some very fiery (but harmles:)
res)lutiouns, but there appeared to be no
spirtit behind them. The small band
that was present will be smaller as time
grows apace.
SENATOR CoLquitt's life was insured
for $lO,OOO and congress, complying wi'h
a custom, will vote his widow $5,000,
the equivalent of a seuator’s salary fori
one year. These sums, together with;
his home at Kirkwood, on which there is}
said to be a heavy mortgage, conStitute
about all he has left aslegacy to his
family.
GENERAL EvANs' campaign is fright
ening the wits out of the Atkinson crowd.
The Macon Telegraph seems to have saf
fered peculiarly and distressingly. We
are bound to win because we deserve 1o
win. We serve notice on them now 1o
get out of the way of the victorious
army.
A LoulisvlLLE dispatch says John L.
Wade, a farmer of Clark county, has
christened a girl baby born at his house
last week Madeline Pollard. Ajax’s
great act of defying the lightening has
been outdone.
It is gratifying to the stcckholders of
the Southwestern railroad in Daws.n to
know that the stock has advanced twen
two dollars on the share within the last
thirty days. It is now quoted at sixty
one do!lars.
“Y., U know many small things are said
and done just to inflaence votes. I can
not afford to go into such little business,
and do not intend to.”—GEN. FKEVANs.
These are the words of a man of charac
ter.
Just let the democrats sit on the stool
of do nothing, and mope around and talk
about the party doing nothing, and we
will have something worse than the force
biil Lo oppress us.
It is theoutspoken opinion f the New
York Sun that **Coxey is a crank of 82.-
000 ass power.”” We are inclined to think
the Sun has over estimated him.
Tue third party is preparing for ac
tion. It takes nerve to face another de
feat like that of two years ago.

‘ THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
| An Editorial Opizion From The Augusia
‘ Chronicle on the Race,
‘ The following editorial, taken from
:The Augusta Chronicle of a recent date,
'is a review of the joint debates be
tveen General Evans and Mr. Atkinson,
which shows how the Chropiele sums up
ihe claims of the two candidates for the
pomination. The Chronicle, under the
caption “Trip Bites at the Army,” says:
“The arrogance with which Mr. At
kirson is conducting his camjaign not
only places him in an unenviable light as
compared Lo the modest self-estimation
of lus opponent, but often leads him in
to a vainglory at the expense of the
rival candidate which makes the gentle
man from Coweta appear absurd. |
“The one clear harp of divers tones
which Mr. Atkinson fingers with such
facility is himself. He is thoroughly
convinced of the greatness of his own
‘achievements and his legitimate nght to
any reward within the gift of the people
of Ge:rgia, He thinks of himself i
capital letters and speaks of himself
with orchestral accompaniments, He is
pliying the same ‘fantastic tricks tefore
high heaven’ which are but too frequent
among men who are dressed in a iittle
brief authority.
“How much does he want? He has
rendered the state some service, to be
sure, but is it any greater than that
which many another man h s render-d
without reaping half the honors? He
bases his claims on four things which he
has aceomplished in the legislature dur
ing his eight years of service—at $4 per
dicm. As General Evans well said in
Athens: *‘With a good deal of help, he
nas succeeded in doing one thing every {
two years.’ |
“Bu. aside from the per diem and th:
check for $l,OOO, to both of which we
do not deny he was eatitled, was it not
an honor of which he might be proud
and grateful to sit eight years in the
gencral assembly of the siate of Georgia?
Has he not been honored twice with the
chairmanship of the demoeratic commit
tee of the stat«? lias he not been elect
ed speaker of the h use of representa. |
tives? And do all these connt for ncth- i
ing?
To quote his own favorite Burns, l
“¢lf self the wavering balance shake
"Tis rarely right adjusted,””’ 1
“But his moet deplorable and inex
cusable error is in instituting a compari
son between his own services and thel
services of Gen.ral Evans. He asks
with scorn, what has General Evans |
ever done for the people of Georgia? |
And refers flippantly to the fact that his
opponent is a mnister of the gospel. |
““Mr. Atk nson should kno w that cour
ase and patriotism have been bonored
in every land and time. The man after ‘
Ged’s own heart was not only a servant
of God and a raler of men, but a man of
arms. What has become of the exalted
sentiment when a candidate for gaberna
torial honors in Georgia dares impugn
snch a record as General Evans has
made?
“No conflict since the Dbeginning of
history was cver hallowed with a purer
patriotism or s stained with more heroic
courage than that which glorified the
civil war. The undisciptined battallions,
outnumbered and poorly equipped, who
entered into a four years' strugze for the
sovereignty of their stafes were made of
stuff as stern as that which carried the
eagles of Napoleonto the icebound walls
of Moscow or iought back the Persian
invaders on the plain of Marathon, Dec
imated but umdaunted, ill-fed but fe: vid,
overwhelmei but never couquered, they
fought on tiil the fortunes or war bade
‘them to lay down their arms, as immedi
ate as when they flashed in the sunlight
of the first skirmish.
“It was a war which aroze from condi
tions which had never existed before,
and among a peopie who can nevelr exist
again. The souiherner of that peviod was
“¢The knizghthest of the knightly race
Who since the days of old
Have kept the fires of chivalry
Aglow in hearts of gold.’
“He was a baron who scorned the title
—a chevalier whose honor needed neith
er lance nor shield. He loved his coun
try, but he loved his state and the prin
cipies whirh Yorktown bequeathed it.
And when th se principles were disput
ed, he defended them with thelast life
drop of his ieart. Was the: cver a
chivalry like that? Was th-e cver a
nobility with the patent more dircet from
Almighty Gol,
“Of that unigque and important period
in American history General Evans
stands out zs a frue exemplar. He was
in that siruggle a man of magnificent
idaring; and like the Balird, lLe is not
only withouat fear, bat without reproach.
His valor upcn many a hacd fought field
and foe-fenced camp was as great as
that of any man whose name glitters on
the roll of immoztality.

the loving are the daring.” In the midst
