EVANS Will ba Neighbors aad Dwoll Togat h or In Peaco *a< Harmony on Poach tree. “Th»m« my SoatinonU” is the Password. To ths Editob or Thb Joubmal: You hero a ao®i®iy column and a Polygraph column. Now I suggest you have a column set apart to cards of defeated candidate 3 known as Sorehead Column. I have seen several cards from this class in the last few days, ventilating their spleen on a man simply because he aspires to fill an honorable posi tion in his state. While many know thorn, yet by having this column it wouM only require one card to let the people know how they stand, and of course vote accordingly. I know of a Marietta Cadet writing so strong that he should tee allowed to go side by side with Col, John Willedgoand Gen. Evans on their charges with cocked hats and sword, at the head of the funeral procession. You have seen them. By the way, if Gen. Evans should be elected as some of the city folks think, I don’ know what you all would do for somebody to take his place unless yoa select a friend of cine from West End. Mr Editor I am sorry that one democrat would so far forget him self as to write a card signed by Rob ert L Rogers. Why use such terms? What has Mr Atkinson done to him? Why denounce the people as stump suckers Does Gen. Evans endorse the sentiments? We -d® not live in Atlanta. But we claim to be loyal, honest citizens of Georgia. We spurn such a statement as unworthy to class the country people as court house cliques cross road stump suckers and trick masters of militia districts, who came to the party's aid only when, by so doing they can promote their own political fortunes. The country people dono the lighting when in war. They done it when the party was on trial in 92 And no dirty fling will deter them in 1894. I would like to know if the Peachtree candidate endorses the card. Let hiir come out and say whether he thinks the people Oi the country wuu aie opposed to him are cross road stumpsuckers or npt. I did not know it was a crime far a Georgian to aspire io effice and if Gen, Evans is going te endorse the card writers in the serehead column he had bet ter take some of them in the back yard of training. While >e» are fcr Atkinson, we wont get rude and let ourselves say hard things about the general. We think him a nice Christian gentleman on his way to glory, and we won’t hinder him from getting into a po litical fight. Or we might say to him: On what occasion did you raise your voice for democracy? When the party needed your service where did you aid it? Where, oh! where did he ever raise hisjvoice in its defense? Echo says, “Where?” By the way we wont say anything hard; we will gently and quietly remain and in the Peach tree mansion he owns and lek Bill be his neighbour; then when Bill writes anything the general can say them’s my views. Gen Evans knows he wont go far wrong when he endorses what Bill Atkinson writes. Did you ever thik of the predicament of friend Rogers? When Atkinson announced Gen. Ev ans endorsed it, and said, Those are my views; I so expressed myself last summer, then her® comes my triend Kogers and condemns the whole thiig. Friend Rogers, living in a city FRIDAY EVEMIND JANUARY. 12. 1894. practically solid democracy, has no more conception of the work don® to earry this state in 1892 than the horn guard had of the real dangers and parils of the lata war* He shall at teak, unnoticed, the work of those bravo democrats who laboured from Tybee’s lights to Rabun gap to up. hold the demoeratio flag. If all had, like Nero, fiddled while Home wm burning, the democratic nomination would not be worth seeking. This h no time to abu • the party leaders, nor to dipeouht the work of those who led its host to victvty and bore the blunt of its battles. If the cross roads stamp suckers fail to nominate their man, they will rally, as they have ever done, to aid the party; but they do not expect to fail. T R Whitliy Douglasville, Ga., January 10 1894 —Atlanta Journal ——- ' W-VW WILLING TO HOLD THE BABY nr. Gilbert Obliged a Smiling Young Woman, Who at Once Left the Train . Abraham Gilbert is a worthy citi zen of the neighbouring village of Branchville. He is married and is the father of a small family On Thursday, while returning on the train from Danbury, he noticed among his fellow passengers a young and rather attractive woman appear antly a widow, who held in her arms a handsomely dressed infant about 5 month old. As the train slowed up for the stop at Bethel the woman asked Mr. Gil bert if he would be so kind as to ho I her baby while she spoke to a friend who was to be at the station. Mr Gilbert jumped at the chance, for he is very fend of pretty babies, and while the train waited he hand led the youngster on his knee, called it a little tootsy wootsy and sadly dis arranged its fine apparel The train started and Mr Gilbert prepared to surrender his charge, but the mother did not appear. Mr. Gilbert was ceriain she had missed the train by accident and that at that minute she was fretting her self almost to death about the child, but the older and more experienced travelers smiled grimly and conclud ed that Mr Gilbert was the victim of un old trick. When the train reached Brandb ville, Mr Gilbert tried to get the train hands to assume the child, but they asserted that there was nothing of the rules and regulations of the itoad that compelled them to do so, and nothing remained but for Mr Gilbert to take the baby homtf and plaae it among his own. He did so, and the little stranger is in excellent hands • The child is a boy. Tke woman was handsomely dressed and ware a veil which almost completely hid her featuses. No effort has been made tofiudher.—Norwick [Conn. ] Die patch. ASA JOHNSON’S CAKE. Marshal Jim Erawn and the Police force was presented with a handsome pound cake this morning by Asa Johnson of darktown. The cake was a daisy, covered all over the outside with “baked ice cream’’ and locked too tempting for anything. Asa has the name of being a good cook and while the officers looked at that cake longingly they each waited for the other to make the first pass at it—and the cake was put away for future use.

Tho Nashville, Chattanooga and St, Louis railroad ha® a strike on its bauds, similar to that on the Henderson division of the Louis ville and Nashville a few weeks ago, in that it is unauthorized. The freight conductors and brakemen this afternoon declined to take out thwir trains and the two sections of No. 9 ou the main line and one train on tho North western division that should have left this evening are still in the yards, The road has about two hundred conductors and brakemen, but most of them are new out on the road aud it is not known wheth er they will joiu the strike or not. All trains are reported on timo tonight, however, and the passen ger service is not affected, A SURPRISING VERDICT, Proven Gui t of Counterfeiting, Yet the Jury Cleared Him, Knoxville, Tenn, Janunry 11, — A most surprising verdict was giv en in the United States court here today, when Cleo Berry, one of the most famous criminals in Hawkins County, failed of conviction, Berry is past fifty years of age, and was indicted for counterfeiting, The neighborhood in which he lived was flooded with bogus half dollars aud dollars, the manufacture of them was traced to him and uten sils necessary to their manufacture were found ia his house . It was proven ’plainly that he had pasted countless counterfeits, but he piayed the innocent racket on their manufacturers and failed of conviction through ajury’s ver dict that was anything but pro per. Berry had long posed as a Drunk ard preacher, in faot has pulled the woel ever the pyes of the un suspecting mountaineers with the greatest regularity. United States Marshal Condon says Barry is guilty of every crime in the calander, murder not ex cepted, for on p. high mountain peak, near Mooresburge, there to day stands a lone gravestone on which is the i ascription "Murder ed by Cleo Berry.” Who this vic tim is bo one knows, but it is known that this stone marks the last resting place es but one of Cleo Berry, the Drunkard preach er’s many victims. A BIRTHDAY PARTYJ There was quite a delightful par ty given at the residence of Mrs. James M. Jenkins last evening in honor of the birthday of her daughter, Mibb Ada, the parlors and dining room were decorated with holly and hot house plants. One nice feature was the untangling of the “spider web,” which everyone enjoyed immensely. * Those present were, Misses Luta Cooker, of Marietta.

Denver, Colo., Jan. 12. —The sen- ’ ate special committee, to who was re ferred tho governor’s message, have agreed upon their report.

Revenue Officers run Down M irz Moonshiners. Deputy Marshal Bud Turner and a posse took the six o’clock train here Fiiday evening and went to Resaca. They left the cars there and struck across th® country to Conssauga Riv er, following up that stream to the the line of Murray county, they found a still. It appears that the oprerators were expecting a raid, for the fires were out and nobody was around the building. The officers took possession of the still, and they also arrested Jeff Collins and John and Joe Smith, and destroyed quite a quantity of beer. The prisoners and the stills were brought to this place Saturday moil ing, and created quite a ripple of ex citement. Th® prisoners were carried to Atlaata and the still was shipped to th® same place bj express.—Cal houn Times. WHITE CAPS AT WORK. A NEGRO EADLY BEATEN NEAR ADAIRSVILLE.

Dr. Lawrence, who owned $49.- 900 of the stock and Col. Doan who owns SIOO of the stock are both out of the city, bnt Mr. Jack King who owns $49,900 of tho stock and Mr. Jot Camp who own»‘ SIOO are in the city and were seen, by the Hustler of Rome today. Mr. Camp had but little to say preferring to make bis showing in court first. When aeked if th® Electric Light Co, owed the $3,000 claimed by the Car Co., he smiled, a significant smole —that was all. At the Merchants National, Mr. Jack King vas seen, but, further than to say that Dr. Lawrence had precipitated matters iu a most un called for manner, he woqld not talk. Mr. King said that he would prepare to make hie first reply to the charge set fourth in the bill, to the court after that he would givo the Hustler of Rome a brief history of the whole cane AN INTERESTING STORY, Toe Hustler of Rome, after gathering all the points it could, collect, from, all sources, think that when the facts come out in court, aud the hidden history ia revealsd, that the public will find) , that Dr, L-wrsuce tried to de too much on too small au amount of capital. t -.fj He pus up hk stocks and bonds fqr? money and when the paniek ahttt dawn be failed to recognize Ew was indulged from timo to tim® and 1 finally the indulgence had to termi nate Hi? collafieral was sold an 1 nei ther Jack King or Jot Camp bought one dollar of it.

As to the claim of the Street Car Company for $3,000 against th® Electric Light Co. we ar® told that a complete answer will be. made in open court next Nonday. The case will be tried on Monday at Summerville before Judge Henry,, and all parties from here will hav® to go up there. Trier® is much business, of a similar natur® to thi®, iu the Rom® circuit and therefore the Hubtlbr thinks Judge H®nry by moving to Rome would remove the only objection that any one in the cir cuit can possibly have to him as Judge, In the m«aatime tbe cars ar® running on scedule time aud. will continue to do so regaxdiesß, of receivers.
