find the aalient points ia bu
cord. While iu ths legislature,
ji whilshis soul was aroussd
id every nerve strained to th.
most tension, according to hie
ofeisions, in striving to promote
e interest of the Bemscratic par
in Georgia, we find that he vot
the following resolution:
‘••Resolved, That eur senators
id representatives ia congress be,
id they are hereby requested to
e their influence and votes to
cure legislation wkich will cor
ct the evils eomplaiaed of by the
stional Farmers Alliance ano
idustrial Union in convention iu
cala, Fla., and the evila com
ained of by the I)‘mocratie par
those that relate to
e present financial and taxation
liiey of the government”
Not only did Mr. Atkinson vote
r this resolution, but he waa
aikly instrumental in having it
issod.
It will be remembered that the
gislatare of 1890, by which thia
•solution was passed, had nearly
two thirds majority of Farmers'
liance mombeie.A resolution was
traduced by an Allianas member
idersiug and adapting the full
cala platform.
Mr. Atkinson, then at the head
the Democratic organization,
aved off the passage of th i b rela
tion by parliamentary tactics as
•ng ss passible; and whin a'
ngth it came up for passage, he
*d a substitute proposed ea
irsing the Dpoaecratie platform,
his was voted down, but served
>• purpose of showing that it
*• not a Democratic legislature
*’ was petitioning congress,
finally, with groat effort and
•Hl, he succeeded in having the
’OVS resolution adopted simply
for relief f rom the , Til ,
ltß plained es withoat endorsing
Pl«» for such relief. At the
this waa considered a great
Cratic victory, and Mr. At
ln"“ received the plaadito of
‘•Pißii and party everywhere;

ROME GEORGIA, FFIDAY EVENING MARCH 16. 1894,
IflMnW?
Char’ey Bennett and John
Anderson
COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED!
Asd their Many Friends in Thia City
are Greatly Alarmed Over their
Safety. La»t Is a Beat Turning
Down tho Cvo>< hirer.
“Whore are they? ’
“Have you board from Bennett
and Ander.on yet?”
Aud hundreds of other queitionn
have been eagerly—anxiously ask
ed,by men women and children in
every part of the city, but never a
satisfactory answer has yet keen
made.
The last seen of Charley Ben
nett and John Anderson was at
4:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon
when Masters Gregory Omberg and
Jim Carey, two bright boys, saw
thorn enter a rowe boat and pull
under the bridges out .into the
murky Coosa and around the bend
down stream.
Tho boys who saw tho boat leave,
wero sitting ou' p riutups wharf at
the Oostananla end of Third Ave.,
fishing.
Gregg Omberg was seen by a
Husti.kr reporter this forenoon
and stated that bo saw the boys
enter Mr. Yancy Harris’ rewo boat
and push off from shore.
Gregory says they “pushod off”
so vigeronsly that before they mado
themselves ready to sit down to
work tho oars the boat was against
the Fourth Ward bank of the river.
When they did settle down and
tako the oars however, they wont
to work with a vim and in a few
minutes tho little boat was spin
ning under tho bridges aud around
the bend down the Coosa.
Tnoy had noguus or packages
with them and seomod to be only
going out for a pleasant row.
Last night when Charley Bon
nett failed to appear at tho Cen
tral Hotel, his father and mother
became uuei-sy and with tho pass
ing L hours that feeling grew into
alarm.
Enquiries and search produced
rumors and rumors grew and agra
vated tho cruel suspense.
Charley Bennett is tho only s< n
of Train master Bonnot of tbe
East Tennessee depot in East
Rome, aud wan a clerk in his fath
ers office. Ho is only about 22 years
old, a big hearted good natured boy
—tho idol of tho hearts of father
and mother,
The family are from Cincinnat
ti.
John Anderson, who boards at
Captain Woodruff‘s on Second
Avenue, is train dispatcher es the
East Tennessee office, bore. Hois
a member of the Riverside K. of
P. He is a sturdy young man of
about 24, and earns te Rome or
riginally from Chester, 8. C.
He asked Mr. George Hannah
to fill his position for him at the
depot yesterday, and took tho day
off to attend tho funeral of the in
fant daughter of Mrs. Charlie
Woodruff.
He was not expeeted to return
to the depot until this morning
and as he was in the habit of
dining out. his absence from his
boarding place seemed to
occasioned no UHoaainoso.
Conductor J. H. Selman of the
Electric Car line says that he carried
the young mon to last Rome the
middle es tho afternoon and hoard
Charley persuading Anderson to go
down tho river with him.
Bennett sail, they could make
t o 7 miles down aud return in two
hours and ssid he had plenty of
sardines and canned moat for luneh.
Seimon says, Andorson told Ben
nett that they could not make tbe
trip in two hours, ann ha would rati -
er not go, but Bensettkrpt insisting
and said that tho boat w<s good one
and only weighed Ci lt|
Mr. Salman did not see the
young men return to tho city.
Mr. Yancey Harris said this
forenoon that Charley Bonnett
came to his office and asked fur
his boat and ho gave him tho koy
to it between four and five o’clock.
At an early hour this morning
Mr. Bennott and Mr. Ed. Col
clough mounted horsos awd wool
•12 f ho river l ad, tkilking they
had a fit but throbaeo was fruit
less.
O’her rumera wero run down and
exploded and all tho foronoea tho
friends of tbe young mon wore ae
tivo in their search. About 9:30
o’clock Messrs, Johnnie Root, of
tho Central, aud Camp and* Jone*,
two drummers secured a boat and
wont down tho Coosa.
Later on Yancy Harris and Ed
Coleleugh took another boat aad
went down stream, while other
boats wero gotten out and manned
aud joined tho loarchars.
At 2 o'clock a message was sent
from tho East Tenneseo depot
io Cedar Bluff, ordering Captain
Coulter, who was oa tho steamer,
Clifford B. Seay, to wait in Cedar
Bluff for a special engono from
Gadsden, which would bring hint
back to Rome.
Capt. Coulter will then pilot tho
steamer Resacca which will carry
men and boats down-tho river to
make a thorough search.
Tho rivers aro up slightly, and
while every one hopes for tho boot
yet it romaias a fact, that tho
Coosa is very treacherous, and the
young mon not knowing the stream
have in all probability boon upset
and have come to grief—perhaps
worse.
Charley Bennott is said to bo an
expert swimmer but Mr, Andorson
does not swim at all.
4P. M at tho hour of going to
press, a message has been received
from Cedar Bluff stating that tho
Clifford B. Seay had passed that
point, and that Cap‘J Coulter was
then waiting for tho switch Engine
from Gadsdon.
The Cllifford B. Seay left her
wharf in Rome this morning at 5
o-elock for down the river, but ac
cording to the message from Coder
Rjuff no trace, of tho young mon was
noticed on tho trip.
Tho Resaca, will probably not
leave Romo now uutill tomorrow
morning at daylight.
Mr and Mrs. Bennott are at tho
Central Hotel and snfforing
all the agony of soul that two fond
and loving parents could, under
such trying suspense.
And the hoys, God only knows
where they are.
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock
Mr Andorson sat for a Photo, at
Lancaster’s Gallery, Mr. Lancaster
had a proof tl is morning and many
were tho eager glancs cast upon
the impression shadow by men
who know and loved the manly
original.

Tho timo baa come for Mr, Atkin
sons friends to do aeme work the ]
supporters of General Evans aro i
claiming. Floyd County by all sorts
of majorities, aud h&vo boon very
dilligent ia their efforts to’ work up
oentimoat in his favor.
Mr. Atkiason has many earnest aad
cordirl supporters in Floyd County.
who believes that he will aot oaly
carry tho Coanty, but that he will bo
nominated and elected our next Wev -
ornor.
The joint debit* cCcuro Ronae I
oa march 21. Already the friends of
General Evans aro actively preparing
for this event and using every effort
to ondaco his supporters to attend
tbe joint debate.
A visitors will probably
be in Romo on that day. Every
thing possible should bo to give
them a cordial and hospitable wel
come. Tho gates of Rome will bo
open on tho 16th, and she will belong
to her friends.
Already the ‘ Evans Club“ the
product of much drumming and solic
iting—has appointed committees on
reception and arrangements, and is
now dilligently at work to secure tho
attendance of every Evans wan any
where in. rang* of Rome.
Up to this time no special effort
has been made by the friends of Mr.
Atkinson to arouse sentiment in his
favor. His cause han been steadily
moving and ho has been showing
rommkablo strength without the use
of “clubs'* and “trumpeters.** But it
is believed that some formal stops
should now bo taken in Romo to pre
pare for the reception of Mr. Atkin
son and his fiends on the 26th of
March,
It is therefore suggested that a
meeting of some of his friends bo held
at an early day (the day and hour t©
be named in Sunday's Hvstlf») to
arrange the details es tbe meeting, on
the 26th,
Mr. Atkinseu ia in this fight to
win. I have expected from the
first that he would bo elected
Governor. Ho has the energy and
industry of a dozen men He is a
splendid organizer and an ideal
campaigner He has groat oxecu
live ability and knows how to
utilise his reasons.
Mr. Atkinson is just tho man
for Governor. Hois young solf
roliant ambitious full of energy,
well posted, trained in polities
and Statecraft, and iu close and
sympathetic touch with tbe need
and demt'ids of tho democratic
masses.
Lot his friends in Floyd pull
themselves toghether and arrange
to give him a rousing reception on
the 261 h of March.
