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.

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. h I fikPfii Ui J vi ‘ I .IV IJ# Will have a Democratic Pri mary on May 24th. A ‘'CONSTITUTIONAL KICK.” IHE EVANS ORGAN PREDICTS ALL MANNER OF TROUBLE ON ACCOUNT OF THE ACTION OF THE EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE. Carr oilton. Ga May. 2 Pursu ant to a call of the chairman of the democratic executive committee of Cai roll county,a lurge number of dem ocrates met in the courthouse today and designated Thursday, May 24th for a primary According to the reso lution introduced by Editor Sharp, an Atkinson supporter the candidates are to be voted for direct and the successful one will appoint his own delegates. Under the resolution adopted, the statehouse officers will not be voted for and before delegates can be selected for them another pri mary or mass meeting will have to be called for the purpose of select ing delegates for these offices, and C-trioil county will have two sets of delegates at the gubernatorial, one sei authorized to vote for gov ernor only and the other set to vote for statehouse officers. This state of affairs was brougl t about by the eagern ss of the followers of Atkinson trying to steal a march, but which will prove in the end that it will be a victory for Evans. —Atlanta Con stiiution.

A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN. 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 of Shugarman and Sheets. COLORED BASE BALL.

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. There was no ‘ Fall of Ninevah’’ at police headquarters this forenoon. Dr, and Mrs. C, F. Griffin, accom pan ed'by their children are in Gor don county, where Dr. Griffin is attending the bedside of Mrs. Griffins sister, Sirs. Yarbrough, who is dangerously ill: Mr. E.

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. Tuesdays Constitution contained a 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 Windsor to tin Allen house and was sorely neglected by the Americus peolpe who were overwhelmingly tor Evans.
