SONG OF THE SUN.
And the great white swan
From I’almico Sound,
Wounded, pale and wan,
D.ed from rovers wound
And dying it sang
Till the low shores rang:
“Honk! honk! in my lilly-white breast
There's a hole as big as your hat,
And in various spots here are other shot*;
1 guess I'm a democrat.
“Honk ! honk ! in my long, slim neck,
I have got it on the flat,
Which makes me think with my dying wink
That lam a Democrat.
"Honk ! honk! in my soft pink eye,
1 have got a Grover spot,
Which makes tne sigh as I slowly die,
That lama Democrat,
“Honk! honk! one last honk more,
As I float off te the blue;
. Oh, why was I born a swan forlorn,
Instead of a sweet cookoo?”
And the great white swan
From I'almieo Sound.
Wounded, pale and wan,
Died from Grover’s wound.

THE ATLANTA RING.
Talk about the “Atlanta ring’’
is bosh. We are proud of Atlanta
There is but one Atlanta in the
south. If there is an Atlanta >
it is composed of some of theb ,
pluckiest, brainest men from all
corners of the state, who have
sought Atlanta as a field for their
enterprise, or who have been sent
there by the peop'e who knew
their worth. “Atlanta ring,” for
sooth—it were an honor to belong
to such a ring.—Dalton Argus.
That’s what yon and the Rever

“Wool hat boys” of Georgia are
not candidates to jine, neither
have they any desire to lope with
such a concentrated, consolidated,

Call.
The following front the Macon
Bee, strictly non partisan, throws a
a new light on the Griffia debate:
The Bee has not the slightest doubt
but that the odds in the Griffin j oint
debate were in Col. Atkinson's favor-
Even General Evan's wannest friends
admit this to be true. Atkinson had
the crowd, had the thunder and had
the laugh.
RANDOM SHOTS FROM THE
GKIFFIN FIGHT.
The following “Kanapaigu
Knuggets” are found in the “clean
up” of the Griffin News the day
after the “crushing:”
One thing is pretty certain -
Bill Atkinson is not afraid of a
brigadier, whether he
wo rs epaulets or not.
An acute and unbiased observer
of the debate said yesterday that ■
Atkinson is the longest-headed
man in politics since Joe Brown
was in his prim*.

houn, two bright diamonds of the
setting of the Atlanta Ring, added
eclat to the Evans side by their
presence.
General Evans may not like
that way of putting it, but it seems
to be Peachtree street against the
cress roads and the cotton furrows
Gen. Evans is very particular
about a few months on his rge
He says that he is not seventy
years old, but will he deny that he
will be seventy some time this
y ear?
1824-1894-70.
When it becomes gtnerally known
who was the drunken foul from At
lanta that called Atkinson a liar, there
will ba nothing further said about the
incident of the Nev n band playing
a piece as it m archi l t to linner
The Atlanta ring, called for this
campaign the “Fulton County Evans
Club,'' couldn’t, keep its fingers Oilt
of Wednesday L pie. Ignoring the
fact that the Griffin Evans club
doesn't like music, the Atlanta gang
hired the Barnesville band, paying
the round price of forty dollars for
a day.
lhat last jell when Atkiuaon got
the conclusion on the general settled
it with Pleas Stovall, the valiant
Evansite of the Savannah Press, and
he rushed up to the telegraph office
and wired his paper to change his
report so as to show that the crowd
was Atkinso; J >eyond a doubt Stovall
will tell the truth in his news -
The Atlanta Constitution and the
county Evans “me toos" claim that
Atkiuson is warring against Atlanta
when he is only roasting the Atlanta
politicians who are i endeavoring to
run the state-Meriwether Vndicaitor
The Evai a men are now claiming
Chattanooga and Charleston. If they
can secure Chicago and New York
they may begin to feel safe. But

There may have been an Evan’
tide in gubeinittorial matters a'
one time, but it seems now as if
the general had mounted the wrong
wave and got a ducking. The way
his boom is dwindling is a eight.

Heres a pertinent remark from the

whom he thinks are the bosses of
their respective countries
We see that the Atlanta papers
think that all of the ve’-erans will
support Gen. Evans for governor
but they are badly mistaken. We
think the majority of old vetrraus
of this county will support Hon,

that this county will go for Atkin

The Confederate Editor of the'
Dawsonville Advertiser.
CHANGES TO ATKINSON.
And Wives his Reason” for Dsiug
gs. Laves Evans bnt
Alone Must set rule,
—„
The Advertiser up to this time]
has favored the nomina'.ton of;
General Evaua for governor, but '
we have decided that the interests |
I
of the Democratic party demamda
the nomination of Honorable W.
Y. Atkinson and hencs forth we
will advocate his claims.
We have arrived at this conclu
gion after a care'ul and impartial
study of the political situation in
Georgia. Our personal feelings
from tbe start we have been with
General Evans. The writer entered
the Confederate army when a
youth of 15 years of age and fer
four years followed the flag of the
Confederacy and with it went
down in defeat and we sympathise
with the brave men who sacrificed
everything in the defense of our
homes and of «ur common coun
try.
We symyathise with them be
cause we were one es them We
shared their fortunes and with
them we tasted of the b'tterness es
defeat, and if we were left- to de
termine the question as.to who
should be governor of Georgia,
purely upon setrtimeul, we should
say vote fc- Gen. Evans.
But the war is over, and while
we honor the brave men who fought
its battles, we put party success
above sentiment. We believe that
[ rosperity and happiness can only
be brought to the homes of our
people by perpetuating the prin
ciples of the Democratic party.
We believe that the unjust and
oppressive burdens under which
our people have already suffered
too long, can only be relieved by
a triumph of these principles
which the Democratic party has
pledged the people in its platform
to inaugerate, and our deliberate
judgement is that W. Y. Atkinson
is best equipped to lead the D m
ocratic hosts to victory.
He possesses all the qualifica
tions of a safe and successful lead
er. He is in the prime of his vig
orous m inhood, absolutely honest
and f» ar uss in the discharge of
every duty, able and courageous
and unflinching in his fidelity to
the interest of the party and to
the people.
He was not a Confederate sol
dier because be was too young to
enter the army. But too years ago
when the Democratic party was in
danger, when ths most stubborn
and persistent fight was made up
on tbe Democratic principles that
the party has ever experienced in
Gsorgia; when the Democratic
camp-fires were kept burning up
on every hill-top; when the servi
ces of a wise, prudent and coura
geous leader were required, W Y.
Atkinson was selec'ed and he en
tered upon the work heart aud
sou! from first to last.
He was iri the thickest ©f the
tight, battliug for ug and ourchil
dren after us, and we triumphed,
gloriously triumphed. The people
of Atlanta had no such battle to
fight; they bad no such struggle
with the third party, not one-half
of them even voted in that elec
tion ; honca, they have never been
abie to understand the admiration
the country Democrats of N >rth
Georgia have for VV. Y. Atkihson.
. We have joined the Atkitiseu
forces, not because we love G*n.
Evans lees, but became we love
the Democratic party mere. The
people of Dawson eounty, and we
believe *f thia entire section of
the State, are demanding the nom
ination W. Y, Atkinson. ■
Tho Evane boom has collapsed
—it was born in Atlanta and has
not thrived outside of her gates.
We honor General Evans— wo be
lieve that he n a Christian gentle
man and the politicians of Atlan
ta in their greed for office should
never have dragged this venerable
old man from the pulpit into the
political arena.
