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. TAX NOTICE.

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 lite Hon. W.Y.

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 nke a terrible mistake iu ap poiting Atkinson as attorney in a thcase he did if the above be I tn? A Howell Democrat. MR.

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.
