GOV. W. V. ATKINSON,
ogether and cut loose from England
an 1 foreign rule. We can take care
of ourselves. We can make money
that will serve our purposes,stimulate
>ur trade, without regard to the word
or dictation of England.
“It is true, these are questions for
the nation, and not for the state, an
hence, do not properly beloi g in a
gubernatorial cauq aign; but this is a
tune when the people of everv state
on ;ht to be knowing where the men
of high position stand, and the man
wio is elected governor of this state
ought to make avowals on all of these
public scores.
‘ In this campaign for tl e govern
o.sh p. | our enemies (the dem c at
i P ai 'y’s enenTes) are going to make
issues of national questions, and we
miy as well confront them now in ad
vance. In this connection, Ij want to
siy that it is not a matter of doub*,
bit a certainly tl at the third party
will have a candidate out for the gov
ernorship, and that we will have the
same old fight to whip—so fellow
citizens, let us stand up and face the
issue and show them that we are
sacking for the same reforms we
s jught f< r in the last campaign, and
that we will get them though ti e
heavens fal', ‘and by the decree of
providence I here assure you that the
old party of the people, the old party
that won the last time with such a
signal victory, will agian trumph,
and triumph with a more perfect vic
tory than the last. (Applause.)
WHAT HE WILL DO IF GOVERNOR.
“If lam elected governor of
this state,’’ continued the speaker,
“I am plain m speech to tell what
I will strive to do :
“I will exert myself for the ac
complishment of a more perfect
system of public schools (Ap
I lause.)
“I will strive to see that the peo
p 's rights against the railroad
monopolies are preserved by the
sustenance of the railway com
mission. (More applause )
“I will see that the lessees of the
state’s convicts are kept in strict
obedience to the terms of the lease
and will see to it that the convict
labor in no way comes in com
petition with free labor. (Great
cheering )
“In flue I will try to down all
forms of monopoly and look to the
interest of the people and the
whole people 'of this grand old
stat* of Georgia.
“Now, gentleman, offices ought
to be given with a view to the man,
not for the simple purpsse of grati
fying vain desires and «f tickling
one’s fancies, nor as a compliment
to this man or that. The plain,
simple question that is before you
is who is the best man to b» gover
nor of this state? If there is a po
litical question it is who has had
the most experience to lead the par
ty to success?
“I shall face your answer to
these questions with satisfaction.
lain siucre in what I say and I
want you to answer these questions
as sincerely as they are asked.
“I do not want to be unpardoua
b’y egot s ic,but there is something
I must say to you in this connec
tion,! I want te tell you of what
I have been trying to do for the
advancement of this state ever
since I have been in public life —
what I did the eight years I was in
the Georgia legislature, A man
who has had my experience there,
even though he be a man of less
than ordinary ability, would have
learned enough about the public
questions that affect the interest
of the people of Georgia to place
him < asily as a more experienced
man than a brainier man, let us
say, that has not had such experi
ence.”
Here he told about his having
passed a bill making the election of
the agricultural commissioner by the
people.
How he had seen that the common
schools needed better teachers and
hau established the Girls' Normaijml
Industrial college.
How he had taken the lead in
the s dtlement of the Western and
Atlantic bettermeat claims when
no public man would grapple with
it, settling by giving the lessees
back the taxes they had paid, but
not a dollar’s worth of betterments.
How he changed the payment
of the inspectors of oils, giviiq
the state ah<>u* $15,000 per aunun
that inspectors once received.
How he had curbed tl e monolir.

-NO ENEMY TO OLD VETERANS,
The applause that followed Mr
Atkinson's recapitulation of what
he has done for Georgia was pleas
i ing and he hurled himself at onct
| into the denial of what he say?
has been charged against him that
he is an enemy of the confederate
veteian. Said he:
“Well, they say, that’s all right,
Atkinson’s a pretty nice sort ot
fellow, but he is an enemy to the
boys who wore the gray.
“This is charged by a young
sprig in Atlanta who never fought
a battle and who never did any
thing for the good of the democrat
ic party that I know of, but who,
with the assistance of painstaking
teachers, has learned to writepret
ty well. ( Laughter ) These young
sprigs ought to be careful Low
they play with big questions
(Moie laughter.)
“I toast that I have worked for
the achievement of more good to
the confederate veterans of Geor
gia than any man alive who wore
the cloth cf gray and epulets of a
brigadier general. I have aided in
all the legislation that gives the
s laiers of this state the pension
they draw today. ( Applause).
“What treason against honor
that any man should say that 1
am an enemy to the man who
f ught for the cause for which Lee
drew his gallaut blade. Why, ther
is no tenderer thought in my heart
and soul today than that which
comes with overpowering panora
ma when I see the man with an
empty sleeve go by. I honor the
heroes who went to war for their
blessed land of the south. I bless
the memory of those who died for
the lesson of patriotism it brings
Being myself the scion of a family
that has lived in the south since
the days of the revolution, I have
a right to feel proud of southern
chivalry,
A'though I was too young to en
ter the war, my brother ran away
from college down at old Oxforc
and joined the Eighth Georgia
regiment and braved death fcr the
cause of the south. Some of y u
©ld soldiers may remember that
when the Eighth Georgia was or
dered to retreat at Manassas
while they were marching from
the front and the Seventh Georgia
was ordered to take their plac s
this daring youth, my brother, lefi
the retreating regiment and hurled
his brave heart back to the front
with the old Seventh and lost his
life in the engagement that soon
followed. Then what crime
against truth and honor that I,
with such memories, should be
charged with unfriendliness in my
heart for the confederate ve'eraus
of Georgia.” (Great applause)
THE SOLDIERS H ME.
Mr. Atkinson defended his posi
tion while a member of the Geor
gia legislature in voting against
the Soldiers Home.
He said that it was a question ol
whether the members would estab
lish a home where the soldiers
would be humbled to the level ol
beggers with office, g over *hem t<
spend their money for them, o.
whe.her they would give pension*
to the war-worn veterans. He fa
vored the pension idea as this
w juld allow the old fellows to stay
at home and live with their fami
lies and friend*.
He expiated quite at length efl
this score.
THE ATLANTA RING,
Decidedly the chief thing about
the speech of Mr. Atkinson that
stands cut with interest was hit
abuse of what he terms th'-» Atlan
ta ring.
He savs it has sifted down t<
this in G-orgia, whether the eutir e
state will or will not let Atlants
run it.

This is to certify' that I had "Inland
Sea Island cotton planted in alternate
plots with Sea Island, Allison Silk.
Allens latest improved long staple,
Ozier Silk Southern Hope and so ne
olher varietes of long ,iut. The In
land Sea Island was a great deal
earlier than any of them and made
one third more lint per plot (of same
size) than any and double as muo)
as any save one variety (Ozier Silk |
While the lint was no longer than
the Allen it was much finer softei
and richer colored than it or any
except Sea Island and Allisons Silk
but it made four times as much per
plot as either of these two. I think
your Inland Sea Island a big jump
forward in the long lint busines
because of its Earliness and
Prohficness.
