ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1898.
H ere we-are again, asking the patronage'
of our home people, who have supported us so liberally and
used our fertilizers so extensively during the past ten years. I-roin
2,500 tons in 1887 to 12,000 tons in 1897 is a long step, and yet this
is the record which the merit of our goods enables us to show.
We solicit your patronage again, because we furnish you the
highest grade fertilizer for less money (or less cotton, which is the
same thing,) than any other reliable guano company will or can do.
We manufacture the highest grade of goods sold for field crops in
the South. Only the best quality of Tennessee phosphate rock is
used in making our Acid Phosphates, and the very best and richest
blood tankage that can be bought enters into the manufacture of our
high-grade guanos. We do not use “fillers,” or coloring matter of
any kind, and every pound of fertilizer hearing our brand is guar
anteed to he just as represented. We have raised the guarantee of
several of our brands this season. We respectfully invite your at
tention to our own guaranteed analyses, and then to the analyses
made by the State .Chemist from samples drawn after goods have
been shipped.
We are offering this season, for the first time, a very high-grade
Potash Acid, which we guarantee 13 per cent, available and 4 per
cent, potash, under the brand of “.13 AND 4 DISSOLVED
BONE AND POTASH.
4 You should investigate the merits of these goods.

SPENCER R. ATKINSON.
A Short Sketch of His Life—A Soldier at
Eleven Years of Age.
Atlanta Journal.
In the many newspaper sketches of
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, which
have recently appeared, the period in
his lifo which made the deepest im
pression on ills mind and exerted a.
far-reaching influence on ids snbse-
qnent career, lias been overlooked.
TIiIb period was made up of the
severe days of his early boyhood at
Marietta, just at the close of the war.
It was a hard time for most boys, and
especially hard for young Spencer
Atkinson, who, with his family, had
just returned from Milledgovillo,
where they lmd gone to escape the
invading hordes under Sherman.
When tlm family reached Marietta
they were in the most straightened
circumstances, and young Spencer
and his brother Het themselveH reso
lutely to work on die farm. They
plowed, hood and hauled wood to
town, and met the situation with a
determination that was bound to con
quer.
Spencei' Atkinson was one of those
bright, far-sighted boys who was not
willing to idle on the streets, and all
of liis spare time was devoted to
study at homo. He know thero was
no chance to reach college, and lie
was a hard student of all those tilings
which affect, the practical side of life.
After four years on the Cobb coun
ty farm young Atkinson entered rail
road work and attached himself to
die engineering department of die
Brunswick and Albany road, A year
was spent in this work, and in the
fall of 1872, when the Texas fever was
epidemic among tho young men of
Georgia, young Atkinson became af
flicted with die m.dndy and went
West. He hoped to secure work In
tho civil engineering department of
some railroad, but found to his bit
ter disappointment that there were
no openings for such work. But lie
was there and had to earn Ills bread
and butter, and lie met the situation
with tho samo determination diat had
characterized his former career, lie
went to work carrying bricks for the
construction of the round-houso tho
railway company was erecting at
Marshall, Texas, and followed this
until the building was finished.
He was then employed as engineer
to run the pumping engine which sup-
The lawyer Colonel was soon on the
Bpot. “They’ve written me, Spencer,”
the old man said, “written me for
$ 10,000 in the big court at St. Mary’s
and I want you to defend my case.”
The ense was a damage suit for slnn -
der for $10,000, and tho old man was
in deep trouble about it. At the ap-
penrnnce'torin of the ease Atkinson
marked ids name for the defense,
while a brilliant, array of Savannah
lawyers were marked for the plain
tiff. Happily at the trial term neith
er the plaintiff nor his counsel was
present when the ease was sounded.
Atkinson struck the plaintiff's case
for want of prosecution. The old
farmer was jubilant. To him the
ways of the law were dark and strange
and ho thought young Atkinson had
won his case by magic or by some
mysterious juggling with the law,
possibly with the court himself, llo
sounded Atkinson’s praise on all oc
casions and everywhere. Tho young

with which they seemed to be in

its part to keep down opposition to

A strange feature of tho letter, the

young companions walked across tho
country from Longview to Dallas,
from which place lie went to Hhor-
man and secured a job in udrug storo
as what is known as “mud clerk,” or
bottlewnsher.
One day while he was polishing
labels an old gentleman who frequent
ed the drug store and had taken a
fancy to the young druggist, said to
him, “Spencer, why don’t you study
law? You talk well, have pleasing
manners, and I believe would make a
good lawyer.” “Study law!” young
Atkinson replied in astonishment,
“why man, I’m fighting for bread. If
I let this job go I’ll go without din
ner.”
But the suggestion of tho old man
set young Atkinson to thinking. It
quickened the dormant ambition
within him. “I know a little Latin,”
he mused, “and less Greek, so why
should I not become a lawyer?”
In a few days lie had made up his
mind to be a lawyer. He returned to
Georgia, studied law in Marietta, was
admitted to the bar, and soon after
wards moved to Camden county to
live with his brother, Dr. Burrell At
kinson, and begin his chosen profes
sion. He bought a code of Georgia

evon of the most orttiodox sixteen to
one’rs now. In this respect, lie may
claim a little more prestige than Col.
Candler, who lays great stress in his
platform upon his unfaltering alle
giance to the silver goddess.
The Judge has a good record in
State affairs, from the Legislature,
upon the circuit bench, and on up to
the Supreme bnneh. Ho was but re
cently appointed to the Railroad Com
mission by Gov. Atkinson, resigning
from the Supreme bench to accept the
post. During his short career in that
position he has demonstrated again
that lie possesses a high order of abil
ity. He is a very popular man with
his friends arid will undoubtedly have
a strong personal following in his
campaign, which will ,be a brilliant
one.
The announcement of Judge At
kinson’s candidacy is coupled with
the famous Candler letter, which has
been so widely discussed during the
past few days in the minds of many
people. The popular belief here is
that his announcement was precipi
tated if not forced by this letter, but
