PLEDGER TO STUMP.
He Announces That he is for Gov
ernor Atkinson.
Nearly all the colored leaders are
for Governor Atkinson. Bishop
Turner was announced a few days
ago and he was followed by a num
ber of other prominent colored
men.
Last Friday VV. A. Pledger, one
of the most widely known colored
men in Georgia and as astute a pol
itician as there is in this state
came out for the governor. He says
that Governor Atkinson has been
the colored man’s friend and, there
fore, he is for the governor. Pledger
recommends that his race cast their
ballots for the governor.
In an Interview last week Pledger
said:
“First I favored fusion, but si tide
the populists are ashamed of the
republicans as a party, we must,
as individuals, do the best we can,
and that 1 shall do by standing by
Governor Atkinson, and thousands
of others will, perhaps, do likewise,
I am sorry that Governor Atkinson
is head and shoulders above his
party, for I like to see the party
bigger than the candidate. I never
have supported populists and never
will, for I have never been able to
understand their communistic the
ories. They seem bent a striking
down corporations, the very source
of Georgia’s prosperity and success,
and urging other bad things, and I
am sorry democracy is following in
their wake, but Governor Atkinson,
so far as the interest of my race is
concerned, rises above parties in the
contest for gubernatorial honors
We huow him to be a man for jus
tice to all his constituents, and this
is all that is required. The reason
we know it is because he has been
tried, and, since the republicans
make no nomination, I recommend
that the ballot of the negro be given
him. I shall vote and talk for
him.
Accept Nothing Elsei
Let the Voice of every prohibi
tionist go forth, “Indepehdent of
party, independent of everything”
—we will vote for men who will
vote in the legislature for the Anti-
Barroom Bill—men who will un
flinchingly stand up for its passage.
This means more to Georgia now
than any other measure. Let no
prohibitionist accept anything else.
Don’t let the enemies of this meas
ure mislead you. Don’t believe
them when they tell you that it is
like unto the South Carolina dis
pensary law—or the Barnesville or
Athens laws. Don’t believe a pro
fessed local optionists when he
comes to you and tells you that the
ate and great Bishop Haygood was
in favor of local option. If he
were alive t '-day he would vote
for tho men who would vote
for the abolishment of barrooms.
Don't regard the willful misrepre
sentation of the papers, and the
men who peddle it around, that
Rev. W. A. Chandler, one of
Georgia’s truest and most decided
prohibitionists, will vote against
the Anti-Barroom Bill. Such a
statement, the Wesleyon knows to
be untrue. He has never had it
in his heart to do this, nor has he
ever, in any interview, intended to
be so understood. He is for the
Anti-Barroom Bill. And so are a
majority of voters in the State of
Georgia. Accept nothing else.—
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
A Timely Reminder.
Each season forces upon our con
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent to fall finds
many reduced in strength and vig
or, poorly prepared to continue the
business of life. The stomach and
bowels, the great highway of ani
mal economy, is especially liabe ;
to disorder iu the fall. The ner
vous system has suffered in the
struggle. Typhoid fever and ma
laria in particular find in the fall
that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as es
pecialty dangerous. The falling
leaves, the decaying vegetablescon-'
tribute their share of contamina-!
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla furnishes
a most valuable safeguard at these
important points, and should be
used in the fall before serious sick
ness has laid you low.
AGE FOR ATKINSON.
A Leading Negro Newspaper
Declares Unequivocally
for the Governor.
The Southern Age, one of tho
.foremost newspapers in Georgia,
I that are edited and controlled by
colored men, has come out llat
footed and unequivocally for Gov
ernor Atkinson and the entire state
democratic ticket.
The Southern Age is the succes
sor of The Advocate, which during
the last state campaign was such a
vigorous supporter of Hines and
Peek. The Advocate changed it
name to the Southern Age when
T. T. Fortune, of tho New York
Age, bought an interest in it. For
tune was for many years a corress
pondent of the New York Sun in
the south and ho stands among the
most prominent colored men in the
United States. The leading edi
torial in this week’s issue is as fol
lows :
“During tho gubernatorial cam
paign of 1802=414 this paper sup
ported the people’s party ticket be*
cause they were pronounced in
their platform against some of the
methods of the men who conduct
campaigns and elections in this
state and because we believed tWf
live parlies should exist within our
boundaries, and also because we
hoped that in time the populists
would fuse with the republicans
and give us recognition on their
state ticket, but this they have
persistently refused to do, and
since they, knowing that it was ow
ing to republican votes and sym
pathy that they came nearly elects
ing their state ticket and placed
several of their candidates in the
legislature, we believe their action
a slap in the face of every republi
can in the state and one which
they should vehemently resent.
“Yet, in spite of all this, know
ing they cannot hope to win with
out out support, when we ask tl em
for some meager recognition for
our votes, we ate spurned. After
having served them faithfully and
well, what thanks do we get for it?
Not a single thing. It occurs to
us that if they refuse to give us
recognition now when they need
us most, they will give Us less when
they are safely in. In this dilem
ma we believe the Afro-American
can best subserve his interests by
voting for the other side—the At
kinson administration. In this
‘land of the free and the home of
the brave’ let no man or set of men
insult your manhood without re
senting it in the proper way. We
therefore take the position that
since Governor Atkinson and his
administration have done their
duty like men, without fear or fa
vor, and since the populists could
have shown their friendliness but
didn’t, we should support the At
kinson administration in the next
election and see to it that all those
on this ticket are elected.” u
In advising all colored voters to
support Governor Atkinson, the
Age says:
“There are two candidates for
the executive chair of onr grand
old state —Hon. Seab Wright, of
Rome, and Hon. W. Y. Atkinson.
“The Afro-American should use
all his influence in this election in
favor of Governor Atkinson for
not in the history of Georgia have
we ever had such a man in the ex
ecutive chair as our present gover
nor.
“There is not a governor in the
union that has shown himself more
pronounced against lynching than
Governor Atkinson.
“The governor is a man that has
shown his ability as an executive
officer, regardless of color or party,
and if each man does his duty on
election day they will cast their
votes for Governor Atkinson, and
influence their friends to do like
wise.
“The governor is not like most
governors who are controlled by
party leaders; he is a man to act
just as he believes is just and right.
We know this of our present gov
ernor, and do not know of his op
ponent's ability only by the fol
lowers and himself. Let every one
rally to the support of Governor
W. Y. Atkinson and have at least
two more years of hostility to
lynchers and the chaingang sys
tem.
‘ The populist candidate for gov
i ernor is now trying to talk ‘sweet
, talk’ to the ignorant class of vo
i ters. \\ by is it he rather give
j Governor Atkinson the cities while
he t'fkes tho swamps? Is it be
cause the people of the swamp are
more easily fooled than the people
of the cities?
“It should make every Afro-
American’s heart leap with joy and
gratitude toward Governor Atkin
son when they think of his excla
mation : ‘This lynch law business
must be stopped.’ Where is there
another man who has uttered such
an exclamation in the south?”
GEORGIA'STAXRATE.
It Has Been Fixed for the Coming
Year.
Atlanta, Ga-, Sept. s.—Governor
Atkinson and Comptroller General
Wright held a conference today
and agreed upon 416 as a tax rate
for the present year, and a procla
mation will be accordingly issued.
This is the same rate ns last year,
and is the maximum allowed by
the legislature. The SIOO,OOO
sinking fund is provided for in this
levy. The total value of property
returned in the State for taxation
is approximately $412,000,000, an
increase of over .$2,000,000 over
last year’s returns.
The returns of realty and perso
nal property this year show a fall
ing off of $1,000,000, but the rail
roads return some $3,000 more
than last year, the Central railroad
alone giving in $2,000,000 on its
main lino from Macon to Savan
nah, which has never heretofore
been subject to taxation under an
exemption granted in its old char
ter. The total amount to be raised
by taxation for the expense of the
government is $2,860,680.
After meals you should have
simply a feeling of comfort and
satisfaction. You should not feel
any special indications that digest
ion is going on. If yoU do, you
have indigestion which meansnot
digestion. This maybe the begin
ning of so many dangerous diseases,
that it is best to take it in hand at
once and treat it with Shaker Di
gestive Cordial. For you know
that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness.
And that Shaker Digestive Cor
dial helps digestion and cures in
digestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digest
ive materials in which the stomach
is wanting. It also tones up and
strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy.
This is the rationale of its method
of cure, as the doctor would say.

to straddle the financial question,
and the election so near at hand.”

ENGINE’S FEABFUL PLUNGE
Locomotive on the Piks’s Peak
Cog Railroad Dashes Down the
Mountain With Fearful
Velocity.
Colarado Springs, A ng. 31.—The
first accident on the Pike’s Peak
Cog railroad since it was opened,
five years ago, occurred yesterday
and but for the safety breaks used
on all cars of this line, a train load
of passengers would 'have been
hurled down the mountain to de
struct io n.
Coming down the mountain the
side bars on the the driving wheels
on both sides ofjthe engine broke
apart, rendering she compressed
air brakes cn tho engine useless,
Conductor Cupman applied the
automatic 'r brakes in the passen
ger coach and stopped it.
The engineer and firemen weto
compelled to abandon the engine,
which was beyond control and it
went down the §5 per cent grade
at a terrific speed for nearly half
a mile, where it struck a curve,
jumped the track and shpt through
the air for fully 150 feet, going
clear over a boulder 15 feet high
upon the mountain side.
It ploughed immense Holes in
tho mountain and the trailer and
engine separated just as tho engine
exploded, hurling iron and steel in
all directions. The train was a
special, carrying Manager Frank
Harrison and a party of London &
Northwestern railway men and
Major S. K. Hopper, of tho Denver
& Rio Grande railroad.

One on Seab.
It is told on the streets of Rome
that Charlie Wright, a brother of
the Hon . Seab, that ho, Charlie,
says he “feels toward Seab” since
Seab has accepted the Populist
nomination, “like the little boy
went to the circus with a stick of
candy in his hand and the elephant
reached out with his snout ana took
it away. The little fellow remarked,
‘lf I knew which end your head was
on I’d hit it with a rock.’” Charlie
says, “if he knew which end Seab’s
head was on he’d feel like knocking
it.”
Several years ago I was taken

HOOD’SjSARSA PAR ILLA.
A paper is in no sense a child of
charity; it earns twice over every
dollar it receives, and helps every
enterprise in contributing to the
upbuilding of a town or commu
nity, says a western weekly. Its
patrons reap far more benefit from
its columns than do the publishers,
and in calling for support of the
people of the community in which
it is published it asks no more than
in all fairness belongs to it, though
it gopf=rallv receives less.—Fannin

OUR ARMYIS EFFICIENT.
Ex-President Harrison Praises
Both the Officers and Men.
General Harrison, in his “This
Country- of Ours”article in Septem
ber Ladies’ Home Journal, writes
of ihe War and Post-Office Depart
ment of Justice, and in connection
with the first-named he pays this
tribute to our standing Army: “Our
Army is small, in fact, and minute,
when copared with any’ of the ar
mies of the great powers, but, under
the operation of recent laws relat
ing to enlistments, and of laws in
tended to protect tho rights and
promote the self-respect of the pri
vate soldier, and to relievo him
from assignments to menial duties,
the quality and esprit de corps of
the enlisted men are higher, I think,
than ever before, and the character
and military skill of theofficersare
of a very high order. * * The use
of the Army—either upon the call
of a State to preserve the peace of
the State, or under the direct or
ders of the President to suppress
resistance to tho laws of the United
States—has become more frequent
of late years, and more than one
community has owed its deliver
ance from the frenzy of a mob to
tho presence of a small detachment
of United States troops—men who
would do what they are ordered to
do, and nothing without orders.
There is no menace to the liberties
of tho people in our little Army,
but its trained and patriotic officers
may again, in the case of a great
war, as in 1861, become the organ
izers and leaders of great armies;
and, with the little army of trained
men they now command, will, with
in the Constitution and the laws,
during our longer years of peace,
be the conservators of public order.'’
Its Value Recognized by Physi
cians.
As a rule I am opposed to proprie
ty medicines. Still I value a good
one, especially when such is the
source of relief from pain. As a
topical (external) application I
have found Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm the best remedy I have ever
used for neuralgia of any kind. I
have conscientiously’ recommended

Lookout Mountain where Dick
Musgrove was murdered has been
the scene of many a deed of blood. .
On one lot of land on the Georgia
side it is said there have been five
murders. The victims were, Jesse
Corn, Tom Coulter, James Coker,
Ayers Jones and Bill Kellett.
One day last week at Gainesville
Ga., a crowd of white men took an
impudent negro into the base ball
park and gave him fifty lashes, well
laid on for insulting ladies on the
streets.
