H-».W„ y Atkinson Newnan, Ga—My Dear Sir: I see by. the Georgia papers that an attact has been made upon you because you were paid a fee of SI,OOO ae council on behalf of the State in what is know j as the “Bet terment Case,” while you were a member of tue legislature. I notice a paper in my own town propounds this question. “If Col. Atkinson did not think the fee of SI,OOO received from tue State while he was a mem her of the legislature was wrong, why did be seek after the opinions of oth ers in vindication of his conduct?” I feel that this view of the mat ter is a wrong to you, and I volun tarily make this statement in con nection therewith: You were summoned by the governor to come t« his office and confer with him in reference to i your employment as counsel in the “Betterment Case. ’ You yourself raised the question, in conversa tion with me, as to whethei you could accept employment in that case, as you were a memter of the legislature. The provision in our State constitution which forbids the appointment, or election by the legislature, of a member of the legislature to any office during the legislative term for which he was elected, gave rise to your query. lou requested that Judge Anderson—at that time represent ing .he State as leading counsel in the absence of the attorney gener al, who was sick—and myself, who had been elected an associate coun sel with Judge Anderson, should investigate the matter and advise the governor as to whether your £ bpo.ntment would be in violation °f the provision of the constitu tion above referred to. You stated a- die time that if there were any doubtsen the subject you would Uot accept, employment in the case. Judge Anderson and I did investigate it. and united in the cpiooii that the constitutional Provision could not be made ap- P icablero the employment by the governor of counsel to represent interests of the State in liti gation in the courts or before the which had been organ z for the purpose of hearing the “Betterment a -.

W. Y. Atkinson in what is known as the “Betterment case,” I endorse Judge Hall’s state ment, as far as my connection with the matter is concerned, as being strictly accurate, I was consulted and gave my opinion prior to Co’. Atkimoi L appointment, and my un derstanding was that he was unwilling to accept a fee in the case if there was any doubt as to the legality of his employment. Clifford Anderson as effectually settles this attack on Mr. Atkinson as Mr. Seifert’s let ter disposed of the slanderous attack on him, In making attacks in politi cal campaigns i is sometimes well to be sure of your fact?. —Griffiu News and Sun, IN MEMORIAM. OF MRS. W. T. GORDON. Death makes words of no avail, and beggars all tributes of friend ship. The loss of a loved one so sanctifies their virtues that silence sometimes seems rhe highest praise. My dear friend is now gone to her home in the sky. and no word of mine can be more than a flower planted to her mem ory. The world is better because she lived in it, and could her le gion of friends have battled against the Angle of Death, they would have camped about her day and night, and kept heron earth in the warm enbrace of love. She was not strong in body, but her spirit was always well, and like a bird that breaks the bars of its prison and flutters out into the wide freedom and sunshine, so her sou' has flo ’. n from its frail earthy ly tenement out into the liberty of immortal being and eternal joy- In ill the relatione of life she bore herself so sincerily and sweetly, that to know her was to love her. Her heart was a well spring of warm, sympathy, gener ous impulse and unfailing kind nes. Her mind had quickness of imagination, strength of good judgement and grac* of liberal, culture. Her whole beinf waa energized by devotion to duty and adher ence to truth. All the gentle wo manhood and Christian heroism were so combined in her that she blessed and beautified her earthly surroundings, and spread a gold en influence fcr the upbuilding of religious life, Her nature was so refined that the breath of flowers seemed sweet er when she touched them, and music heldti large place in her thoughts. She was kind, gentle and good, making room in her heart for all who sought an abiding place there and touching the world with the purity «f her life and tbe beauty of her spirit. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath ta ken away.” In giving he made the world sweeter and in taking away He made Heaven richer. God bless the memory of the dear departed one, and make it a power for good over the heartc of all those who loved her. Call rot back the dear departed, Anchored sate where storms are o’er; On the border-land we I’tt her, Soon to meet and part no more, When we leave this world of changes, W hen wo leave this world of care; We shaU find our missing loved one In our Father’s ma.-S.on fair.

Johnathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co,, lowa, who has been troubled with rheu matism in his back, arms and shoul ders read an item in his paper about how a prominent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He piocured the same medicine, and to use his own words: “It cured me right up” He also says: “A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad he had to do the cooking. I told him of Chamberlain's Paia Balm and how it had cured me, he got a a bottle and it cured them up in a w’eek.” 50 cent bottles for sale by Lowry Bros. Druggist THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THURSDAY, APRU. 12, 1894. THATTHIRD CANDIDATE. IffN.A. L MILLER, OF MACON. IS MENTIONED. Fort valley, Ga., April 11. —Mr. Atkinson’s supporters here w’ere somewhat surprised yesterday when jt was i.oised around that some of Gun. Evans’ supporters were making efforts to bring a third candidate into the juberna torial arena, in the face of their favorite would speak here to-day, when if they were not dying with the “spontaneous demand.” they ought to have been whooping their candidate, The fact is they are like the fif teen Evans men in Glynn county, who saw they were going to be de feated, camo out in a newspaper, saying, “We do not favor either candidate for gubernatorial hon ors now in the field, and will wil lingly support some other more favorable man.” This is not all by any means. They see that Atkinson is gaining strength very rapidly, and this little trick of bringing out another candidate, who was no less person age than Hon. A. L. Miller, of Ma con, formerly a citizen of this county, would probably turn some of the Atkinson men from him, and then when the Miller boom sagged, they would try and whip the Atkinson men that turned to the Miller boom, into the Evans ranks. Their little game proved a fail ure from the start, as they could only secure the willingness of the weakening Evans men to give their scheme any attention at all. Atkinson’s supporters stuck square to their favorite, and there is no power on earth, much less the tricks of wyly politicians, that can turn them from the Democrat ic-Wheel-horse-of-Co we ta, who they are going to help make the next governor of grand old Geor gia, whose people nearly as a whole (ex’cept a few -Evans followers) will gladly welcome and protect Northern citizen who comes among us to try and help develop the wonderful resources of the State, Straws like this shows which way the popular tide is turning, and many more such acts of preacher Evans supporters, will place him on an obscure shelf in the political world, —Griffin News and Sun.
