SUNDAY APRIL 1 5. 18£4. Atkinson speaks of his record, and it is a brilliant one, and tbev eh ire him with egoti.-m, but when the At lanta man with nothing but a war record, speaks of Lis 'battles, he is called a hero! The majority of the j peope of Georgia, have gut Benue i like folks, and s -e through such par tizan methods. It is now rumored that Atkinson, I and not Columbus, discovered .U. r '! ica.—Augusta News. Yes, and the report th.it the bare footed privates did do just a little of the fighting during the late war. is gaining ground daily—nqtwith stand ing the General’sproclaimatioD f’oiu the Flump to the contrary. 1 Lie Augusta Herald if responc - ble for the following: “A family in Oregon has a pecu’iar religious faith, Bach member of it fakes sx baths ev ery twenty-four hours.

The Evans Campaign fund has been from in many sections of the state, That fund was created for the purpose of corAiptiou. and it is not being used fuc.any other purpose than those which ii was raised. This loqk’s like 100 counties were for the General and the people were “spontaiuiug.” Elsewhere will be found the pro clamation of Governor Northern of fering rewards for the capture auu conviction of the alleged “murder ers” of Dan Ahern If this commu nity believed murder had been com mitted, and the perpetrators were known, the offer of a reward would be unnecessary,—Greensboro Her ald Journal. When General Evans first started on his fruitless search after guberna torial honors, he and his friends as serted that he was not running ou sentiment, but those who heard his Hawkinsville speech will bear wit ness that be worked his war record for all there was in it.

NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE Asa rule, the people of Atlanta are supporters of General Evans. Outside of Atlanta, the people 1 n toward M', Atkinson. Geni Evans has a son, Air. Lawton B. Evans, a resident of Augusta. I, would seem, naturally, that Mr. L.

That's nice of you, Brother Moseley. But why not settle it yourself and save the people the trouble? —Columbus Sunday Herald (Evans paper).. Thapks Brother Daniels we don’t believe we care to undertake the job. The people are a little peculiar about these things, you know.

After pulling in forty or fifty fathoms, which put his pa tience severely to proof, as well as every muscle of bis arms, he muttered to himself: “Surely, it’s as long as to day and to-morrow! It’s a good week’s work for any five in the shin. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What! more yet? Och, murder! the say’s midbty deep to be su'-e!” After in a similar strain, and conceiving there was little probability of the comple tion of his labor, he suddently stop ped short, addressing tlm officer of the watch, exclaimed: “Bad manners to me, sir, if I dont think somebody has cut off the other end of it— Argonaut WHERE IS HIS RECORD? The Atkinsbnians seem to be goto ting hard up for campaign material when they gQ way back to the year ’6O to try to find a flaw’ in Gen. Evans legislative recordTßut so far, they have failed, to flint anything that will’ uot bear the scrutiny.

Tote fair with your subscrib ers, if you won’t with the gallant youug statesman from Newnan, Gen era! Evans has no record since the war, or if he has. his democratic friends have failed to find it. Gen. Evans, when he firs! met the Coweta Boanerges on the stump, de clared that he was guilty of gross disre spect to the will of the peoj le in be coming a candidate against him be cause the people had called him spontaneously from all over the state and he was not seeking the gratifica tion of any personal ambition, but only yielded to this universal de mand. In viiw of this, it seems real funny how much low squatting heavy lifting and loud grunting it takes to keepup thi p uitaneous uprising The "ava lancui “ about which we heard so much actually came to a dead stop aud now it is taking all the General and alibis managers, boomers and prospective legatees of the nice places under the coming adininistratisu can do to get the thing in motion again It seems to be a big job to get the avalanche to roll up lull. In this it is only following the characteristics es all avalanches, for in all the histen of the w >rld one has -never been known to do*it The fires ran so he other day that it become necessray to do some thing, and that with suddenness, and ■so the general’s friends in Atlanta were called together to see what could be done to get the sinews o< wa?', and then one of the solid bv. - iness men who tok a 1 u-in s instead of a sentii. enad view of t 1 e siiuatiou said it was his opinion tluq. the men who expected to profit by the election of Gen. Evans, of whom he was not one, ought Jto come down with the dust. And then somebody suggested that the General wsuld be most bene fited and that he ought to come down first to the tune of about $ 1,000, As the general has been brought up i n the church and knows all about how important it is to discipline that the ssessments should be promply methe made no murmur but did as was bid. The result of this exceedingly business-like meeting was at once apparent. The Atlanta papers, which had been getting a little slick, at once began to caper and prance “mo earner dan a bay coli in a barley patch,” as Uncle Ke mus would say, and several week lies which had been sitting up ou the fence swinging their legs in utter indifference as to whether we had any governor at all this year, •suddenly discovered that the sta r e would never survive the fearful dangers which confronted it un less Gen. Evans was put at the helm, All this is a campaign that was started by the people and was ab solutely spontaneous. It is very, vary funny. A man went to the grocery in the edge of the flatwoods some time ago and on returning home he took every left hand road he came to aud said the roads were so crooked he met himself coming back and became very much alarm ed for himself. —Cave Spring Her ald. General Evanc says he entered the race with over 100 newspapers —Today the General cant show the half of that nupiber, and yet. the followers of this Christian man claim that the General is gaining strength daily .” Ye shades of An nan i as 1 When an Atlanta Newspaper has space to kill it reserects a “self written interview” or an “on hand essay ’ from Col.
