Cleghorn, of Summer ville, Says This UP ATKINSON’S ADDRESS Delivered in Summerville Two Weeks Ago. Capt. Cleghorn, one of the most, public spirited men of Summerville, was in the city to day, and was interviewed by a 11 usller-Com merci al reporter on the gubernatorial situation as ii is in his town and county, Capt. Cleghorn is an enthus iastic Candler man, and natural ly so, for he is an old comra e n arms and fellow Confederate soldier of the brave Pigeon Roost plowboy. Be has stood shoulder tt shoulder v ; h the gallant old hero and with him, bared his bosom to the leaden mi. des an<; walls of fire of a hostile foe. Capt. Cleghorn and Col. Candler wort members of the sa no bii - ade, and after having known Allen 1). Candler the soldier, Capt. Cleghorn is naturally an enthus'iastic Candler m in. The reporter asked Captain Clvgho: n about Chattooga, the only county in the Seventh dis trict that the most sanguine , Atkinson men hope to carry for their railread commissioner can didate. “Why, said he, ‘‘Chattooga is easily three to one for Candler [ and statements to the contrary) are misleading,statements to the effect that the county is' close are simply humorous and never) meant seriously by men who make them outside of the coun ty —they never make such n.sh remarks when they are in Chat tooga.” A bout Railroad Commissionsr Atkinson’s recent trip to Chat tooga and his speech deliver, d at Summerville, Capt Cleghorn savs that Mr. Atkinson was treated most courteously by ev ery one. ‘‘But,” he added, “the crowd was exceedingly small and tlie speech was so cold th t it failed to kindle any enthus-. iasm and failed to make a sing’e ■ convert. He spoke of Mr. Atkinson in most respectful terms but was posiiive that the judge was not in it witii the wool hat boys of old Chattooga. Capt. Cleghorn left this after noon for a business and pleasure trip to Macon. Building Com vnTrtss.
