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; characteristic of the *b«'l<b.i„ su ,„ iby hi , oppo ‘.I th., ibould dow to his dl..d isnff 1 rei( lingof th. resolution , how „ 0 , „ , , s ™-^. ] hut it. eo.ir. pro is fn T *UB anb those of Qdiar' r '* rS who,re too pure 'Pt wh? 11 ? 0 mil Ponies ex «ni v , 7 W * Ut B ‘ Bl ' th,n F Hit b as r “ ay uot kuow I’heDen Wd ' S l ’** n cu,toni aorrecti )CrM, ' c P* r ty to demand dofbv/k the •▼Us complain- Er ta»st t J , peoplp - The re is no ’ h A yb,CWrWM - • a ° Calapl iv«nis.v ‘ ke to,sk the Macon better it ?* tl><? plai -° question e. a^‘ today want to '*iued of 1 eTllg corn ~ °.r ß A!* y the National Far aud“t} C * aUd ludMatrial Uu ' 19 '' -is complained of by the Demccratic party, especial ly those that relate to the present, fiuaacial and taxation policy of the government?” After it has answered thia, wo would be glad to have our contem porary make a further qsxanaina tion of Mr. Atkinson’s p/olitieal record.

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.

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. W. J. Nbml.
