R, Cobb, of Atlanta, wrote the ar ticle from Crawfordsville to th* I Atlanta papers puffing the speech he made there in reply to W. Y At kinson at that place. Mr. Cobb was forced to do this kind act for himself as none of his auditors were sufficiently impressed to pay any attention to it. It is further reported that Mr. Cobh solicited quite a number of those present to call for him when Atkinson finished speaking, but intsead of meeting with the ova -1 tion expected, only two or three weasly voices heard. But this did not deter the valliant T, R.R. for at the first sound of his name h» sprung to his feet, like a hot tack 1 had perforated the seat of his 1 little pants. There were about a half 1 d< z m Evans men in the crowd when he began, and less when he finished, T, R. R . is a failure and the boomers have muzzled him.

The editorial page of the Atlan ta Journal, just now contains many strictures upon the Atlanta 3 Constitution. Yesterday it re , marked: 1 ‘‘Tom Watson and John Cocker- i ill tried hard to beat ths Atlanta Constitution in the contest of slander against the chosen leaders • of the Democratic party, but they t can't do it.” ' Mr. Atkinson was a chosen fead ■ er of the Democratic party during 1 the last campaign, when as chair - man of the State Demociatic Ex i ecutive Committee, he led the r Democratic forces forth in battle, with the enemy. He was the gen eral of that campaign, k When the smoke of conflict t cleared away, it was found that ] Georgia had rolled up 80,000 ma j jority for Northeq and Democracy and from Nick-a-Jack to Tybee , Light, there were rejoicings of th** , faithful. We aradnclined to believe that the Journal is correct. —Columbus Ledger. frUi 'N ENGINEER. IHE PLAYED CRAPS, LOST HIS MONEY AND TOOK BIS LIFE. Chattanooga, Tenn., March 18 — ’ Chattanooga must have in its midst a suicide club of large mem bership, for scarce a week passes that some poor wrech does not feel called on to hand in his checks by the self-destroyer route. About noon Joseph H. Carden swallowed a big dose of strychnine and in ; four hours was a corpse, despite th° efforts of three physicians to i save him. Carden was thiny-five years old and a trustworthy locomotive en - gineer of eight years on the line of the East Tennessee railroad. He leaves a wife and one child in this city. Last Friday he drew his months wages, about $95 and that night dropped it all in crap games over JackjS saloon at 11 West Ninth street. Yesterday he registered at at National hotlol, evidentily ashamed to go home penniless. This morning he borrowed 25 cents from the landlady.

IS HE TOO YOUNGt The charge is made against Mr. Atkinson that he is too young to be elected governor of Geoigia. That point is easily and effect ve jy answered by reference the Con stitution <*f the state which <’e cli-r 11 lat any citizen over thirty years of age is eligible to the office of governor. It seems that the constitutional convention of 187.7, of which Ar gust body the late Robert Tombs was a leader and over who e del.b eratiou the illustrious Char'ei J, Jenkins presided, was cf the opin ion that a man who had passed th « age of thirty should be eligi ble for that office. In the past. Georgia has seen fit to honor her young men in such a way. Howell Cobb was elected at the age of thirtv-six Joe Brown was elected at thirty-six; and Ben Hill made his famous race against Brown when he was only thirty three. Mr. Atkinson is in his fortieth year and is in every way qualified to fill the office of governor of Georgia.—Athens Banner. VP ‘““ U. Max Meyerharut nji'v/’ed !
