Suppose when General Evans

Would it have been brilliant for
General Evans, •’• for the good of
his followers, had some aged com
mander of the old Indian wars
t-tepped forward and sought to sup.

The Stale of Georgia needs a
man of energy and ability in her
chief executive —She needs just'
such a man as W. Y. Atkinson—
a man who has come up from the
ranks, fitting himself for the ro
sponsible position by filing all
inteim-diare offices —Just as Gen
era Ev n» worked up to the rank
of Ge leral.
Atkinson is n t too young for
the place —he is seven years young
er than Evaus was won the war
closed,and in the past seven rear*
he has d' n more tor the disab'ed 1
and needy Confederate veterans
than General Evans has siuci th
battle of Appomattox—for proof
read the history of Georgia.
General Evans is a good man, but
lias recieved many honors from the
wars in which he has fought. Hi

“ I will not be your tool, for I love

sands of others deserve over me.”

Brother Blackburn, knowing as

opine, that a man of the same horse

GEORGIA’S MODERN “GEN’L”|’

—Albany Herald.
There was a teniable effort, seem
mgly, made to suppress two very
mdiuary galloots who wanted to
have a little I oxing match at Jack
sonville yesterday. Guv. Mitchell
of Florida, ordered out the state
militia, aud governor Northe 1 ,
with tremenduuus flourish ot
trumpets, hied himself away to
lie Southern border of this state
to prevent the mill ou Georgia
soil. The two governors ar« of a
gingercake variety. Prize fighting
is a beastly form of amusement,
but if a couple of bullies want to
pummel each other a little can’t
■ eriffsand policemen attend to
them without the aid of the gov
ernor? —Pike County Journal
The secret is out. The threat to have
the prize fight in Georgia was only a
ruse to carry Gov. No them to the
Florida border in order that there
might be a chicken fight in Cobb
county; but it didn’t work.—Augusta
Herald.
Gov. Northen is an excellent gen
tleman and a good governor, and the
name can be said of Gov, Mitchel
J
but di es it not appear that they have
made too mu ch of this Corbett Mitch
ell contest? The prize fighters do “not
intend to kifi each other, and the
ro ighs and toughs who follow in
their wale and the fine gentlemen
who are anxious to sae the contest
between the Englishman and the
American, have no purpose of doing
anybody any harm. They don't pro
pose to shed blood, or bum anyb idy ’s
ouildings, ®r steal anybodj’s pro; ■»! tv.
It would seem, therefore, as if the
occassion wao not one, for massing
the tro ps of two Slates and startlii g
the people with the idea that a bloody
war is upon them.—Savannah News.
