of him offering a gratuitous insult to

The Argus has not had anythine to

going to take the few remaining belli

A Short Criticism on the Platform
of Jucfge Spencer R. Atkinson.
Since you have been filling your
paper with laudations of Judge At

party. It was a dream of ours that, to point out to the good people of our
tli,-it important, and benign work had i
been reserved by a kind Providence
for the. one-eyed sage of Pigeon
Roost. It was our hope, therefore,
| that in this brotherly undertaking no
; one would raise a hand against, him,
but that all would unite in holding up
his hands, even as Moses held up the
serpent, in the wilderness. These de
sires were fondly ciiorisiied, and were
i nourished by a natural love of both
i peace and party. Hut we’ve been hit.
A mad bull has been in our china
county some of the evil tendencies to
which tills platform seems to be lead
ing ns.
The first tiling I shall notice is his
Railroad Commission plank. Judge
Atkinson is an honored member of
this commission, and seems anxious
to extend the scope of its authority.
Ho wants tlie Federal Congress to
pass laws which will confer upon the
Inter-State Railroad Commission
shop. We don’t know where we are power to make rates upon inter-State
at nor what we want. It hurts, and traffic, and which shall enjoin upon

Judge Atkinson may count himself
fiirtunnle not to have boon roiled into
the race on a boom; for booms are
nine parts air and one part substance,
easily pricked, foul tho flattest of nil
fiat tilings when tlie iullation lias sub

ft 'lltni)III Clarion.)
To say the least of it, the letter was
numlWal for, entirely unnecessary,
mid exceedingly impolite. Col. Cand
ler ImsVnMt aside the role of harnion- I
i/cr, and raises an issue that will add
spice to tho campaign, without con
ferring any benefit upon Democracy.
[Dahlonega Nugget.)
A few days ago Col. Candler would
have carried Lumpkin 6ouuty solid, but
tlie tide has changed since tho publi
cation of that much tulkud-of letter
of ills. The Democrats say a man
that will make such ii blunder as lids
against himself, Is not safe to take
charge of State affairs.

Wo print below Ool. A. i). Candler’s
now famous letter, which lias aroused
1".-niucti eiIticitmi and indignation in
Democratic ranks. On our first page
will he found Ids alleged explanation
of this letter, and his defense. Head
both dispassionately, and wo think
you will agree with us that Ool. Can

called a success.

[Latirungo Reporter.]
Tho important question presents
itself, would it bo prudent to soloct a
man as a leader who makes sueb mis
taken when not under the pressure of
a crisis, lint who precipitates strife
ami discord when everything was
serene and peaceful? Will such an
one load tho party to its greatest suc

of Scylla and Gharybdis when tho
stormy period comes? Wo think not.

us to withdraw our support of Hon.

Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, who
has announced that ho wonld lie a
candidate for Governor of Georgia, is
on of the ablest lawyers that ever
sat on the Supreme bench of tlie
States. He is a pure, cleuti man of
high character, and the legal profes
sion of Georgia, have often expressed
their opinion of his great ability. Ho
is a mau who would fill the guberna
torial chair with credit to himself and
to the State. From South Georgia it
is reported that the people are rising
up en mosaic for Judge Atkinson. Ho
has many friends in Middle and North
Georgia, and will attract a large fol
lowing. He is very stroug mau, and
it now looks like he will sweep tho
State.

If a fool

exempt from taxation the property of

for office appears to have dulled his

the assertion that in no public paper
in Georgia has so great an amount of

lie rails against tlie centralizing ten
dencies of the Republican party;—in
tlie next paragraph is advocating cen

lie warns us against tlie socialistic
tendencies of the Populist party;—in
the next line lie advocates purely
Populist doctrine.

Hon. 0, B. Stevons,
Macon Evening Nows.
Mr. Stevens has long been in public
life, but this is the first time lie lias
ever entered the broad field of State
politics, though repeatedly urged to
do so. The progress he is making in*
his present race fully justifies the
opinion his friends have always en
tertained of his ability in this direc
tion.
Mr. Stevens entered tho race for
Commissioner of Agriculture cm his
own hook, free from all combinations
and entangling alliances.. He stands
solely on his merits and fitness for
the place, and these are receiving
most gratifying recognition in every
section ol the state. Already ho has
visited many counties, and lie is leav
ing no unplowed ground behind him.
Of course, a man who lias been
holding a slate office for n number of
year3 becomes better (mown—or, at
least, his name does—to tlie general j
public, than does an opponent who is j
seeking that office for the first time; j
but Mr. Stevens has the faculty of
making himself known very rapidly
and favorably when ho gets down to
work. And it is only a matter of
a few weeks when he will be really
better known, personally, to the vo
ters of Georgia than is Mn Nes
bitt.
He is, moreover, as well equipped
for tlie place us any man who ever
aspired to that office. .In the first
place, he is one of the best busineos
men in Southwest Georgia. He
came from between (lie plow-han
dles, and made a success in life
whore many others wonld have failed.
After doing this lie was called into
public life by Ids own people, and ho
bus been quite us successful in politics
ns in business. Even now he might
be occupying a seut in Congress had
lie.been willing to sacrifice certain
principles to the Populistic extremists
who controlled tlie party in certain
tedious of flic State a few years ago.
But lie preferred parly honor and
harmony to the gratification of
personal ambition, and so gallantly
yielded, anil retired from politics un
til called by his people to go to tho
State Senate, of which body he
was a conspicuous and able mem
ber.
Not alone ns ti business man and
politician has Mr. Stevens been a suc
cess, but it is in the field of agricul
ture that he finds greatest interest,
and for whicli his splendid talents and
wonderful energy seem best fitted,
lie is, by far, the most successful
farmer Jin Southwest Georgia. His
success in business gave him the
means to buy up some old “worn-
out” plantations ol Terrell, Webster
and Randolph (fount es. W here the
old-time planter succumbed to free
labor and commercial fertilizers, Mr.
Stevons used both with such good
judgment that these “old fields” have
yielded him a snug fortune within a
few years, and are now more fer
tile and productive than ever be
fore.
