Mr. Chas T. Bayne of the Augus

the subject of “There are other eyes
in spain. ’’ Perhaps there are but
what du Bayne know about them.'
No man has yet answered the ques
tion. ‘-What has General Evans done
for Democracy in the past thirty
years? If lie has done nothing for the
party why does the party owe him
any thing?

WEN. EVANS AS A POLITICIAN.
Some of the papers keep spout
ing about the office seeking the
man—in the Evans boom. Such
atuff is rot. and “wont jo” with

the General all *ver the state,
when he wok* up some mouth,
ago decided in his mind to fix th*
•wires and run for governor, and
straight way began organising
Cons ederate Veteran’s camps.
We do not censure General
Evans for working these wires to
attain his ends, but, for he*v*m*
aak* let the papers who are paint
ing him as “too pure a man to
dabble in politics,” give us a rest.
General Evans has been a gal
lant soldier, and su eloquent
preacher, but as a democrat, for
the past thirty years, h* aint been
wuss a cent, to the party.
Atkinson was too young to go to
the war, but through the dark days
of reconstruction, on down to the
memorable campaign of ‘92, he
has faced the enemies of his party,
fek and but for him and the working
W •lemenc of that party, democracy
might have been a dead co*k in
the pit—certainly it would not
have relied up the grand majority
■of SO,COO as it did fighting th*
calamity howlers.

Governor Nei Lhens attention has
been celled to the recent junket of
Captain Crabb a guard ot the Gress
lumber camp, and the esnviet “Lord*
Beresford. The trip took in Ameri
cus and Dawson, and it is said made
a round of the barrooms together.
The governor regards the matter as
a serious one, and will direct an im
mediate investigation. It is stated
in the explanation of the affair that
Beresford was a “trusty. ‘ There is
too much ot the trusty business in
Georgia convict camps. But the de
cision of the courts in Beresford's
case should have been notice to the
lessee to the Gress camp that he is
not a proper person to be made a
trusty.—Columbus Enquirer Sun.

Col. Atkinson’s announcement
as a candidate for governor was
published yesterday morning. The
advance sheet sent the T. A., how
ever, did not arrive in time. It is
printed today. Mr. Atkinson is a
bold politician and displays an
aggressive temper. He wants to be
governor to reform the party, to
serve his country, to benefit his
people.—Tim«s Advertiser.
Hon. W. Y, Atkinson, of New
nan, has announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor. General C. A. Evans is
also ’a candidate. Col. Atkinson
did valuable and efficient work fo<|
th* triumph of Democracy in rhe
last campaign aud deserves a “fair
field” aud generous consideration
at the hands of Democrats. He
is a brainy man and eloquent
•peaker and his canvass of the
state will not be devoid of inter
est, —Marietta News.
The sentiment of the active, vigo
rous, working young Democracy of
Georgia seems to be drifting steadily
to Atkinson’s standard, but that is
merely according to the eternr 1 fit
ness of things.—Chattooga News.
——' I R •I 111 M
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Mr. W. Y. Atkinson has annouced
himself as candidate for Governor of
Georgia, and has told the people
what he proposed to do if elected.
Some of the State papers are loudly
asking “What has General Evans’don e
that lie shoo’d asp ; -* to the Governor
ship?
It would then not be entirely out
of place to remind these particular
newspapers that it was not Genera l
Evans who sought the office; it was
the office that sought him. The people
of Georgia want him. They recognize
his worlh and sterling qualities, and
want him in the Gubernatorial chair.
It would have been a fitting tribute
to the famous patriot and soldier if
he could be nominated by acclama
tion, with no opposition in the field,
but inasmuch as there are some so
rash as to dare to run against him.
all that is left to be done, is t* ra n y
forces and work twice asjnard to place
the people’s candidate triumphantly
at the head of the Stats.—Augusta
News.
The above is fine for sentiaaaat.but
when it cornea to business, why it i*
dife- ent. Democracy in Georgia has
her enemies and her f-iends; and if
General Evans has never belonged to
the former he certainly has had a
poor way of showing his rights to be
classed with th* latter.
Show what your man has done fc r
the party and then rally your forces—
work thric* as hard if you please—
but bear in mind you w’U be met at
Philipii and Atkinson fate will not be
that of th* Ciezar. The Democrats
he led through '92 are yet in bis Je
giors.
