theee wars. But there was a war,
still fresh iu the minds of all demo
crats, m which he cid take part,
It was the war of 1892. At that
time our time-honored institutions
ffere threatened by a party whose
doctrine was anarchy. Who went
forward in defense of our purtyoiir
Stare and our institutions? Was
it Rev. C.A. Evans? No it was
not he. That reverend gentleman
wae preaching the good old Metho
dist doctrine we all love so well.
It was the democratic David, W.
Y. Atkinson of Coweta, who, with
his little sling, went, upon the field
and killed the Goliaths of the
Third party. He routed the enemy
and saved his State to the Demo
cracy. In those battles his ability
as a leader was so conspicuous that
he was made general of the dem
ocratic army of Georgia.
Row, what are the veterans of
the war of 1892 going to do? Are
thev going to v"te for men who
, were not heard of until the batt.es
were fought and won? Or will they
vote for Gen. Atkinson their old
leader and the hero of 1892?
The News would like to see all
the veterans of the war of 1892
hold a reunion and honor Gen. At
kinson with the governorship of
this Stale.
He richly deserves it, and there
is no Georgian who is better pre
pared to make us a cheif execu
tive. We believe the veterans of
1892 will do their whole duty in
the matter.—\\ awreucevilie News.

MW,MI.
Os Goods Bought by big
New York Houses and
Heid
FOR TARIFF LEGISLATION.
Coxey’s Armies and the Strikers
Cause Little Uneasiness at the
Metropolis. Spring time has Smit
ten Gotham.
New York, May 2nd. 1891.—Very
soon, if spring advances with steady
steps and balmy breezes, the ever
popular roof-gardens will light up
their colored lamps and unfold, their
fantastic and diversified entertain
ments.
After this week out of door sports
will also assert themselves. Coach
big is already well to the fore, and,
whatever crusty old gentlemen may
say to the contrary, the winding ot
the guard's horn carries good spirits
and good cheer with it wherever it
may be heard.
The Tempest goes well freighted
with passengers every day, and al
though Philadelphia and New York
can hardly ba said to be brought
nearer together by a return to loco
motive power of our ancestors, yet. as
ancestors just now are being carefully
sought after and highly valued, it is
well perhaps to make acquaintauee
with their pleasures, and also with
their sufferings.
The public is waiting to see the
outcome of the queer marchings of
the Cox#y tramps: waiting to see
the action of the Senate on Tariff and
wiating to see the results of the big
strikes among railroad employes and
miners.
That these things excite no serious
alarm among the people who hold
securities is evident from the absence
of liquidation and tne failure of bear
attempts to force It. London, after a
spasm of tear, caused by exaggerated
reports of the labor situation here,
plucked up courage and for the past
few days the foreingers have probably
bought more stocks heie than ih -y
sold.
The great underlying supq o tof
tne stock market, is of course., the
enormous and increasing surplus of
idle money and the consequent ease
with which stocks can be carried or
handled. The tolerance with the va _
rious Coxey armies have been treat# 1
and the very slight uneasiness caused
b. the strikes go to illustrate the
general confidence felt in the broad
and solid foundations that underlie
our institutions.
When some of the * ‘commonwealers'
went a step too far and began to
seize upon railway trains some of the
foreign holders of our securities were
frightened and cable orders to sell.
Encouraged by these sales, and by
the chances of sei ilous collision of the
‘armies'* with Slate or federal au
thorities, the leading bears made a
drive at the market, but they dislodg
ed very few long stocks.
Nor did the engagement of gold
for export by' Saturday's steamers
induce selling of long stocKS.
Tue unfavorable elements in the
situation remain in force —tariff un
certainty and cons quent dullness of
trade and pour railway earnings.
The absence of demand for money in
general business circles causes a con
tinued flow of currency to this center
and the unprecedentedly low rates
of interest encourage the transfer of
funds iu the form of gold to Europe.
It is surprising to many people
that the yellow metal cau be ex
pected at this time when we had
accumulated such an enormous
merchandise in our favor, but tae
i illux is due to the relatively great -
er demand for money abroad, to
the beginning of the annual hegira
of tourists with their letters of
credit, and to the fact that our
merchants are buying very large |
quantities of goods abroad, which
are held in readiness to ship as
soon as a lower tariff shall go into
force.

ATTEMPTS TO ROB A HACKMAN NisAR
ROME LAST NIGHT.
Last night about 7,39 as . John
Canton, the hackman was return
ing toward the city, when about 2
miles this side of Morrisons Camp
Ground, a stalwart man sprang
out of the shadows of a building
near the road and grasped at the
bridle of his horse.
Mr. Canton says he put the
whip to the faithful anima! and
dashed past the would-be highway
man. He says that the scoundrel
followed him about two hundred
yards down the road before h<>
abandoned the chase. Canton has
doubtless “saw visions” in that
drive for he remembered the fa'.e

Green Davis, Col. Suffers
Death While at Work
IN A WELL ON RUSH FARM
lie was a Good Nfcgro. Politics Grow
iag Warn up in the Watters Dis
trict but the Democrats will Stick
to the Nominee.
Nannie. Ga., May 3 1894. —On
yesterday afternoon while at work
cleaning out a well on the W A.
Rush farm, Green Davis, a good
darky, was killed.
His death was caused by the
fall ot the bucket. He was in the
well and had just filled the bucket
with mud and settlings and start
ed up, when the rope parted and
the fatal accident occcured. He
lived only about an hour, but did
not recover consciousness.
Politics are “looking up” out iu
this section and everybody is at
work for their man. Your corres
pondent believes that Atkinson
will be nominated, and will add
that no matter who wins, Watters
democrats are going to stand by
the nominee.
JANUAR YAND JULY.
TIME OF HOLDING FLOYD SUPERIOR
COURT CHANGED TO SUIT THE
FARMERS. HON. W. C, BRI
AN’S BILL.
Beginning with next year the
Superior Court of Flyod county
will be held in January and July
instead of March and Septem
ber, as heretofore ; the second Mon
day in Janury for the spring term
and the second Monday in July
for the Fall term.
This change has been frequently
recommended by the grand juries,
and was very much desired by the
farmers and laboring people of the
county. At the last session of the
legislature Hon. W. C Bryan in
troduced and secured the passage
of a bill making thedesired change
(he same to go into effect on the
first of next January.
Under the present arrangement
the court begins on the fourth
Monday in March and runs until
about the middle of May; and
again on the fourth Monday iu
September and runs until some
time in November. This cuts
squarely into the planting and the
gathering seasons, and has opera
ted to the injury and damage of
the planting interests of the coun
ty •
It is understood that some of
the lawyers are not pleased with
the change as it brings the settings
of the court in the coldest and
hottest seasons of the year; but it
is a time when very little active
farm work is done and when the
country people cau beet afford to
be away from home. Floyd now
has a comfortable and commodi
uus court house, which is well
heated in winter and very pleas
ant in Summer, and it is believed
that the change of time will meet
the h arty approval of the people.
Mr. Bryan worked faithfully for
the passage of the bill making
tne change and is entitled to the
credit of it.

DOW il D«
Ukinson Speaks to a Crowd
of 1,01)0 Voters
TWO THIRDS OF WHOM
Were Enthusiastic Supporters »»f the
Champion of State Democracy. W
Y. Atkinson Georgia’s Next Gover
nor.
Dawson, May I'—Hou. W. Y. At
kinson arrived in Dawson this morn
ing and was met by a crowd of enthusi
astic admirers, headed by the Bron
wood band. He was escorted, to the
hotel where he shook hands and re
ceived the congratulations of numer
ous callers.
Although this is a busy time for
farmers, by 8 o'clock they began to
pour into town to hear the speech ot
the statesman of Coweta.
At 12:20 P M Mr. Atkinson was es
corted to Hart’s opera house by a
large number of his enthusiastic fol
lowers, headed by the band. Immedi
ately the hall was packed and jammed
by an enthusiastic mass of humanity.
Aboet 1,000 voters were in the hall.
A moderate estimate would put
about two thirds of these lor Mr
Atkinson.
Mr. Atkinson was introduced to
this audience by Judge 8. H-
Guerry in a short but eloquent
speech. When Mr. Atkinson arose
to address the people he was greet
ed with continued and enthusias
tic cheers. His speech of one hour
aud forty-five minutes was an elo
quent and masterly presentation
of the issues of the campaign. He
was frequently interrupted by
wild aud enthusiastic cheering.
Fhe masses were with him and
any man ought to feel proud of the
ovation he recieved.
If the sentiment of the people
who heard Mr. Atkinson is a fair
index to that of the county, Ter
rell will send Atkinson delegau s
next Saturday. Y'ou could hear
the hurrah for Atkinson from all
sides. He is certainly the choice
jf the people from Terrell who ere
opposed to Atlanta political rings
goverui.ig the sentiment of local
politics.
Mr. Atkinson’s speech was a
speech of a pure statesman, and
all good thinking people will prof
it thereby.
IVANS AND ATKINSON IN AMERICUS.

special from Americus; Ga. telling ol
an ovatmn received in that city by
General Evans, the night before, and
of Mr. Atkinson happening in on it
all, and how he scooted out. from the

Speaking of General Evans it says:
“The Eclipse Band in their band
wagon drawn by four horses, and
headed by a body of torch light
bearers led the procession from the
depot. Gen. Evans, upon his arrival
at the hotel, had a general hand sink
ing wiih his numerous frienus”
•• Then the cry was made for.Gen
Evans. Mayor Cutts and Co’.W.A.
L odson escorted th# General to the
steps iu the lobby where Col Dodson
introduced the sj e ker. Gen. Evars
spoke for a lew minutes in a very
eloquent manner aud told ot the
great encouragement he had in his
rounds over the State and assured
his audience that he had every reason
to believe that he would receive the
nomination. “
