The Legislature of Tennessee
passed a law imposing a privilege
tax of S2O, 000 per annum upon
°ach person or firm “dealing in fu
tures” or acting as a broker in such
transactions. This law however,
was not intended to operate against
those who pay the preacher.
HILL AND CLEVELAND.
The party leaders of the House
think it about time Mr. Cleveland
and Mr. Hill should stop fighting
one another. It is injurious t» the
party and doee neither of them
any good—Ed Barrett’s telegram
This correspondent is a wide
awake news gat h‘rer and a keen
observer. II is criticism or com
men* is correct. But “who s'arted
this thing?”—Augusta Herald.
SERVED UNDER GEN. EVANS.
A prominent citizen of this
county, whe was an officer in the
Confederate army and was pleas
antly associated with General Ev
atis, says he will take no hand in
the contest between the two can
didates for governor, but he is can
[did enough to admit that Mr. At
Jkiiison is the belter equipped for
the place.
Thia feeling will actuate many
of the old soldiers as well as lov
era of them and their cause—they
will admire the record of General
Evans in war and in the church,
but they are selecting a governor
no* and they want the b st man.
—Walton News.
PRICE & BRYAN OF FLOYD.
There were in the House three
men, all of whom, if we mistake not,
were Primitive preachers, Hurst, of
Walton, and Bryan and Price, of
Floyd, who made as fine a trio of
good, solid legislators as could be
asked for. Hurst and Bryan were
often on their feet and always bad
something to say. When they bad
said all that was necessary, they sat
down Mr. Bryan was one of the
most eloquent and forcible talkers of
the House and always claimed tbe
attention cf tbe members —Hales
Weekly.
PURELY POLITICAL.
The principal objections urged
against Gen Evans are tha' he is a
Christian and was a brave and
gallant Confederate soldier. —Grif-
fin Call.
Os the hosts of Atkinson men
in North Georgia, we have never
yet heard Oi.e of them offer such j
an objection. What the wool hat I
boys real I)’ object to, is General
Evans lack of party record and
party service—during the thirty
years since the war.
Ttm Watson is looking for a
hole in which to aiuk his suro'us
money, and he naturally concludes
that a dai'y newspaper shaft will
fill the bill. There is room enough
for the bantling in the Atlanta
journalist ic graveyard.—lshma* -
lite.
Hark 1 It is the rumbling of the
Evan's band waggon as it rolls
along the trembling earth.—Macon
News.
And the plaintive notes on tbe
air are the weird strains of the
dead inarch, aud the people will
preach the funeral of the Preacher
Soldier, and say he was a good
man but not a statesman.
Once on a time there was a
stayed old sister known among
in«n a* the Tribune ; aml in those i
days it came to pass that the ‘ old

A prominent young Atlantian said

that Atkinson was not in the race for

W. Y. Atkinson.—Jasper County

Mr. Atkinson is regarded as tbe
logical candidate, a id he is receiving
hearty assurance of support from all

Mr. Atkinson certainly deserves

in the campaign of 181)2.—Thomas

the Reporter would prefer the latter,
and we believe a majority of the good
people of our county are with us, toe.
—Abbeville Reporter.
It begins to look like tbe Atlanta
papers are not runn ng the State’s
Politics. The people of Georgia, it
seems, have deeided to elect W. Y.
Atkinsen for governor.
The Meriwether Vindicator says
that despite the opposition of the At

Journal, HonW Y Atkinson will be
governor of Georgia..—Augusta Her

was J W Miller, who coughed up sl.

pointing the gun at him. The very
