Turnes out an Immense Au

TO MEET ATKINSON.
And MR. Atkinson Entertains Them
Beyond the Expectation of ins
Warm est Snpperteis. Raidwin aat
Next Saturday.
Milledgeville, April 28.—Hon. W.
Y. Atkinson spoke L«;e to a vast
throng of people this morning, be
sides crowds of men from all parts of
Baldwin county. There were present
a great many ladies, and nearly the
entire student body, over 300 strong
of the the Girls' Normal and Indus
trial College. No building in Mil,
edgeville was largo enough to accom
modate half the crowd, so the speak
ing was held in the open air under
the trees in the court house yard
Professor W. F. Reynolds intro
duced the speaker in a few eloquent
and highly appropriate remai ks.
As Mr. Atkinson arose he was
greeted with loud cheers from the
crowd and with the beautiful “chau
tauqua salute'* from the young ladies
of the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College.
For over two hours he held the
audience spell bound, although most
of them had to stand during the en
tire time, Mr. Atkinson surpassed
the expectations of even his most
ardent admirers, and his speech is
universally admitted to be one of the
must powerful campaign speeches
everheard in Baldwin couuty.
A large numbar of Evans men
were present and gave the speech
a very close and respectful hear
ing, interupting only once or
twice, and than not rudely At the
cl< se of the address, while, Mr. At
kinson was being wildly cheered
a bold youth entered tne crowd
bearing aloft an Evans banner, but
it was quickly demolished by a
crowd of Atkinson boys,
Mr. Atkinson's entire speece was
accurately taken down in short
nand by several young ladies, stu
dents of stenogrophy in the Nor
ma! and Industrial College.
Mr. Atkinson captured the
crowd by his argument, and those
who were undecided between th*
two candidates are now firm At
kinson men. Mr. Atkinson has
many ardent admirers in this place
Baldwin may safely be counted for
him.
At the close of his speech the
young ladies of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College crowded
around Mr. Atkiuson and literally
covered him with flowers.
The primary comes off in Bald
win next Saturday, and delegates
will be instructed for Atkinson
for governor.
Mr. M. Rosenberg received a tel
egram today from Pine Bluff Ark
calling him to the bedside of his
brother, Mr. Joe Rosenberg, who
is critically ill.
Vice President Stephenson says
of Hon. M. W. Howard: “H» is a
s'rong and eloquent speaker, and
will please the most critical audi
ence.” Don't fail to hear him at
Shorter Colloge next Saturday
night. Tickets, two for 75 cents.
The price of tickets for Mr,
Howard's lecture next Saturday
night will be, single ticket 50 cents
—two tickets 75 cents.

Atlanta is a great city .Georgia is
proud of it. But great as Atlanta is.it

The Constitution expresses the be

The friends of Gen. Evans ure anxi
ous that primaries be held in every
county that they think is for hinj at
once. They admit that as time rolls on
Mr.Atkiusons ] opulai.t increases.
It is unfair to hold primaries in these
counties so early,but at the s*me
time the Evans r oopl? realize that it
is a “now or neve.’Campaign wi ll
them. —Moultrie Observer.
The leaders of the Evans forces are
getting scared,and are calling the
county conventions in big haste . The
constant access of newspapers and
voters to Ihe Atkinson standard has
convinced them that the ‘ spontaneous’
bluff has played out. --Sparta Ishmae

It is significant that there are earl; ’

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Howells, Ga., April 28th. —
Editor Rome Courier: We are
having but litt'e stir this tiiru
about politics; all is solid for At
kinson, with the exception of two.
Old soldiers, old men, young men
ministers, justices of the peace,
constables and all are for Atkin
son .
We have nothing serious against
General Evane, nor do we doub'
his honor, but we should consider
the ability of both men. Whilp
Atkinson has the experience of
State affairs, Evans has the ex
perience of a general in the war.
but the time is and has cem<
when we need a Statesman of
ability, such as Mr. Atkinson, to
serve our State as governor, in
stead of a general of the war.
We do not expect to elect At
kinson for the honor of Atkinson
alone, we expect him to honoi
our State as governor. All honest
minded men, must acknowledge
hat General Evans is old ano
aturally on the declin°, whih
itkinson is in the prime of man
ood. ]
There was, not long since, a
?ung jack leg lawyer out at our
•urt, blowing and rubbing for
Vane, but his soap soon gave out
ed he quit. He stated that Atkin- ,
si was not considered a lawyer of
ap ability whatever. We ask the <'
qistiou did not Governor Northen 1

windows beautifully. Curtains and shades at all prices, al
styles at a geuine bargain too. Ke ae über we do all wes&y.
No blowing and puffing just to attract attention, but all wt
say we can and do verity.
THOS. FAHY.
i m-irdacious mendicant has crept
into our heretofore peaceful commu
nity for the purpose of slandering
her citizens.
Had he known this unfortunate
anima) had nothing to eat the past
vinter than main* people he would
not have perverted facts * Had he
known that I feed more dogs than
■iome people do human beings he
would put his litt'e paper to better
use. If he knew that I fed more hu
■nan beings in a month than some
do in a year who are much more able
to do so he would reflect.
Had he known the facts he would
have slated that an unfortunate ani
mal happened to fall down a stony
precipitous bank injuring herself very
much in the fall, anl had fallen
headlong into the waters, that the
>wner had her pulled out and made
is comfortable as possible under the
circumstances, fed with corn hay &c.,
the night before, notwithstanding
which she was found agaiu in the
water the next morning and so soon
as the fact, was known she was again
taken out and cared for until her
death, caused by the fall.
Had he known the trouble h»
would have said that this animal had
been given to a poor family to give
them milk and help them through
this unhappy winter.and that I have
given them all the hay and much of
other food that the animal had Eaten
during the winter without receiving
or expecting any enefit whatever.
I will however avow his veil of
•harity over his faults and say h?
must be a** begiener’’or he would
not thus attempt to bring hifl little
paper into notice as a teacuer of mor
ala, haviug himself forgotten the first
lesson of the minister. Yours truly
