Col. Atkinson, while in Zebulon
last Tuesday, evidently carried
the Pike Country Journal upon a
mountain and showed it his pos
sessions. The Journal has flopp
ed. —Griffin Call.
If the Cail undertakes to make
a sensation out of every change of
a newspaper from Evans to Atkin
son. why the Call will soon have
more Sensation than news. The
woods are on fire and the wind is
certainly in our favor.
Gen, Evans charged Mr, Seifert
of the Macon Telegraph with be
ing a Wall street Republican, and
with having served in a negro regi
mentduring the war. Mr. Sdfert
promptly and in excellent tern
per and taste showed that he had
voted the straight Democratic
ticket for years past, and had nev
er seen a negro regiment during
the war. And yet if Gs n Evans
has retrasted or apologized for the
statement we have never seen it.
Is this generous, manly or fair?
And Gen, Evans is a minister of
thp gospel of peace and good will.

“Perhaps you would not think so
but a very large proportion of dis
eases in New York comes from care
lessness about catching cold ’ says
Dr Syrus Edson. * ‘lt is such a simple
thing and so common that very few
people, unless it is a case of pneumo
nia, pay any attention to a cold.’ New
York is one of the healthiest places
on the Atlantic Coast and yet there
are a great many cases of catarrh and
consumption which have their origin
n ihis neglect of the simplest precau
tion of every day life. The most
sensible advice is, when you have one
get rid of it as soon as possible. By all
means do not neglect it ”Dr. Edson

THE HUSTLER OF ROME. TUESDAY APRIL 10. 1894.
WITH THE JORY. !

law accords no man the right to
defend himself against a lawful
attach”
He then briefly reviewed some
of the evidence and showed how
the defense had by money or oth
erwise found witness to track the
line of defense as set out as prac
ticable by the supreme court.
And such witnesses, the rag t<.g
and bob-tail, the ekum of creation
the defense had found them ready
tor S2O, for gray horses, for board
money and otherwise to come in
and track that line of defense, and
the defense was trying to make it
appear that while Mr. Stephens
was on most intimate relaitous
with'and only visited with the best
people, that he had hunted up,
wii'ten for and confided toe shame
of hie wife and hie own dishonor
to such cattle.
And here were these creatures
now, after the decision of the Su
preme Court, coming forward at
this opportune hour, because thei
felt it their duty to Frank ; they
swear they were Franks friends
before the killing why did they
not go to him then and warn him
that Stephens was trying to trap
him?
He handled Penny without
gloves. He showed up Mrs. Steph
ens feeling in the matter, how she
leaned towards the defendant. He
peeled Wm Pyle and curried Ma: i
uu Chastain and the gray hoise in
the case.
He showed how biased mayor
Hargrove’s mind was, so much so
that he would not change his opin
ion about the shot in the door even
when clearly demonstrated that
he was wrong.
He showed up toe persistency
with which the Rev. Fester, col,
had refused to remember certain
things set forth in affidavits. He
said that every development in
this case showed what great prep
aration of evidei.ee had been made
by the the defense. Why the de
fend int had even hi the night
time gone to Will Ann Foster,
col, and tried to corrupt her evi
dence.
He showed the coat said to have
been worn by Wilkerson as testi
fied to by his brother-in-law Huff
man, and asked “In the name of
common sense, how was Wilkerson
shot in the left arm and the pistol
1 all holes show in the right sleeve.
How could he have been »hot in
the breast and the ball never have
pierced the inside pocket of the
coat and where is the vest and the
bullet riddled shirt, he wore on
that occasion?
Mr. Nunnally do ed by fearless
ly charging, and booking the
charge by the records in the trial,
that the defense had presented a
great array of perjured testimony,
and that rottenness and coirup
tion was cropping out all through
and over the defense.
Caps. John Reese then opened for
the defense, and in a telling and
powerful argument began clipping
away on the ground werk of solici
tor Nunnallys edifice.
I Capt Reese took the stand that
Mr. Stephens knew for months and
months of the intimacy bg* ween bis
wife and the defendant and used the
evidence to show that such was the
case. That knowing this, Mr. Steph
ens had forfeited his rights under
the law and that he had set a trap
and had fallen in it.
Capt. Reese made a powerful
Argument. Speaking nearly two
hours.
At 2:40 o’clyck this pm. Judge
Branham, for the defense, began
speaking and at three ©’clock was
still speaking in vindication ©f
his rights, as an attorney to man
age his case aud to find out from
his witnesses what they know.
The prospects now are that
Judge Branham and Seab Wright
will consume all the balance of
the evening and that Col, Wa t
Harris will close for the State to
morrow morning.
