CRUSADE FERNENT WHISKY
Over Six Thousand people thronged
the Baseball Park to hear him
Speak Last Night. A Massing of
Umbrellas.
Chattaioaga, Tenn , May B.
Rev. Sam Jones, the Georgia revi
valist, and Rev. George Stuart,
opened their guns on Chattanooga
to day at the baseball park, This
is the third day of the crusade
which is being made against whis
ky in this State. Three series were
conducted, morning, afternoon and
night, the attendance ranging
from 3,000 to 6,000 all day long.
Music was furnished by the famed
Silver Lake quartett, of New York.
This imjroven e it is aomethiugd
prodigious at least in its proposed
aims—chiefly that of sending men
to the State legislature pledged to
support an iron-b iund local op
tion law such as obtains in Mis
sissippi and Georgia.
people poured to the spacious
grounds today from every part of
Hamilton and adjoining counties.
The grand stand was packed with
women and children, the best sv
eiety people being conspicuous in
attendance. Salvation Army colors
and soldiers peddling The War
Cry were in evidence, while lemon
ade and lunch stands drove a
flourishing business. Rev. Mr.
Stuart put to rest a report that the
meeting was in the interest of h.s
candidacy for governor by an un
qualified denial that he had any
intention of making the race.
‘We are here to create local option
sentiment/* he stated,
Sam Jones indulged the people
in two of his very emphatic and
characteristic speeches. This af
ternoon the exercises were inter
rupted by a shower of rain and
hundreds of umbrellas were hoist
ed by those occupying the bleach
ers and the pineboard seats in the
open air. Tonight electric lights il
lumined the entire enclosure,
shining ®n over 6,000 people. N®
such crowd ev-r overran the park
before, Rev. Dr. Meed, of New
York, was among the orators. Mr.
Jones was c> lid home tonight in
business and the Nashville date io
canceled. The aggregation appe ir
next at Memphis and then towni
through west and middle Tennessee.
BROKE HIS BACK.
AN ELECTRIC CAK DASHED ONIO A
FALLEN HORSE.
Yesterday afternoon, a negro
boy, driving a horse belonging to
Mr. Percy Wood had reached a
point on Second Avenue near Mrs.
Gillard‘s, when his horse shied
from a bicycle, and fell across the
Electric car tracks, just in front of
an approaching car.
The accident proved fatal to the
horse for besides the fearful cuts
he received under the bow of the
Electric schooner he had his baik
broken.
Several men hau e 1 him out of
the wreck and undertook to carry
him to the hosspital, but the
“main* 4 bad gone down to rise no
more.
And he was slain.
Help those noble women by at
tending the Howard lecture to
morrow night.
An hour can not be more pleas
antly spent than by attending the
lecture by Mr. Howard, at Shorter
College tomorrow night.
A rare treat is in store for those

Under th® heading of “The First

this headed:
THE FIRST GUNS.
I'he opening guns of the state
campaign will be fired next Satur
day. On that day six counties will
select delegates to the State Dem
ocratic convention. They are
Richmond, Taliaferro,El bert, Mer
iwether Terrell and Baldwin.
Os these General Evans will cer
tainly carry three, namely, Rich
mond, Elbert and Terrel],
There has been no contest made
in Meriwether, and its votes will go
to Mr. Atkinson. Taliaferro and
Baldwin in doubt, but the latter is
almost sure to go for Evans,
The action of these first counties
will be watched with interest by
the whole State, and with their
declarations the campaign will be
gin in earnest.
The convention is more than
three months off and politics will
grow livelier in Georgia every day
from now until the convention as
sembles. So far the campaign has
been conducted in very good spirit
ai d we hope to see it continue and
end in that way It should never
for a moment be forgotten that
this is a contest arnng Demo
crats, just as as the state tick
et is named the party should close
ranks and present a solid front to
th® enemy whether it be the Popu
lists or Republicans.
Georgia is a Democratic state
and will remain so.

THE M IWIItll.
DR. Carl ten Put in the Race
by Gen Evans Friends
TO SAVE NORTH EASTGA.
To The Boomers.The Atlanta Com
mercials Fearless Statement ot
Facts. What other Papers say of
the Carrolton Side Show. Evan
Papers Wid ’em.
Dr. Carlton of Athens may be
counted in the race for the Gov
ernorship. That he was put there
by the friends of General Evans,
there is no doubt, but whether
those who brought the doctor out,
mean to give him the Evans dele
gates, 'or have an understanding
with him by which they are to have
the Carlton delegates, remains to
be seen.
Now that Dr, Carlton is in the
race, the very people and peoples
who induced him to enter the
field are raising a howl and swear
ing by Allah that Mr. Atkinsons
induced the Doctor to come into
the race so that General, Evans
would be crippled—and this howl
is raised, too, when it is known
that if Carlton carries any coun
ties it will be those around Clark
that are certain for Mr. Atkinson,
Along this line we clip th® fol
lowing from the Atlanta Daily
Commercial, the only Evans daily
in Atlanta that has the courage to
make a fair fight. The Commer
cial says:
“POLITICAL IMPERTIKENCE.”
One of the most impertinent
things connected with this guber
natorial campaign, is the persist
ency with which certain leading
Evans organs throughout the State
charge acts of their sid® upon the
Atkinson men, after it is learned
that a political blunder has been
made.’’
“ This was demonstrated by the
ridiculous attempt of the Evans
papers to make it appear that Mr
Atkinson had circulated the im
pression that the judges of Geor
gia were involved in a corrupt un
(lerstandiny by which he, Atkin
s<an, was to be made governor
Uh is cheeky statement was made,
after it was seen that General Ev
ans had committed a blunder in
attacking the integrity of the
bench, in his Carrolton speech.”
“The latest display of gall, how
ever, comes from the Augusta
Chronicle, in trying to make it
appear that the Atkinson men are
responsible for Dr. Carlton’s an
nouncement. The Chronicle says:’
“It is interesting to note how
anxious the Atkinson organs are to
get a third candidate in the race for
Govern' r. They seem to realize their
candidate’s inability to meet u straight
cut contest between himself and Gen
Evans for the majority, but evidently
think that in a three cornered fight
he might stand a showing for one
third of th® convention. The Maco»
Telegraph, through its Atlanta cor
respondent places Hon.H.H.Carlton
in the race. True it r®sts his candida
cy on a contingency,but declares that
contingency to be a very probable
one and one entirely acceptable to
Dr. Carlton ”
“Now it i pfiown by every'newspa
per reader that this story to which
the Chron e’e refers, is only a repeti
tion of what was published in the
Uoastitation two weeks ago on the
same line.”
“It is known absolutely to The
Commercial, that Mr. Atkinson
had nothing on earth to do with
Dr. Carlton’s announcement. It is
alsj known to this paper that some
of the friends of General Evans
had much to do with inducing him
to make the race. This will not
be denied by them. We do not
charge that General Evans, person-

ally, had any thing to do with a
lertaiu move that was made some
ten days ago, but we do say, with
out reservation, that Dr. Carlton
was advised to enter this contest
by friends of Evans, who persuad
ed him that this was his opportu
nity.”
“I'he Commercial has no inter
est in the master further than in
sisting upon the case being re
spected. We are determined that
the acts of one candidate, whoever
he may be, snail not be charged to
the other ”
•‘Let the fight proceed fairly.”
Among the flattering mentions
given Dr. Carlton by the Evan..’ (or
anybody to beat Atkinson) ailies, we
quote the following from the Macon
Evening Ne"'s, perhap® the most par
tizan paper of them all:
“If Doo. Carlton is not in the rac®
for governor he is a mighty good im
itation of some one that is.”
The news does not enlighten the
public as to who the “some one that
‘ really is, but they think they see !
the “Atlanta candidate” suspiciously
near.
Now, from a non-partizan stand
point we quote this from the Albany
Daily Herald, editad by a man
who has as much back bone as brains
and gets out one of the best little
dailies in the south.
“Dr. Car'ton is well known
throughout Northwest Georgia,
and is a strong man in his old
Congressional district, but he is
not well enough known throughout
the State for his candidacy to
produce anything like a political
sensation. He is not as well
known as either General Evans or
Colonel Atkinson, and unless he
IO CENTS A WE EK,
goes to hustling right lively h
wi 1 not amount to muck in th
Gubernatorial raee.”
Than this one clipped fixitn fk
Griffin Cal), the only paper in
Georgia that rune a cut of General
Evans, (cut made from a photo of
an ancient negative) at the bead
<>f its ed tonal column. The Call
man seems to have miseinterpret
ed his cypher telegram, and, &g
usual gets in his work a little mix
ed, for everybody has conceded
Eibert to General Evans. The Coll
says:
‘‘Dr. H. H. Carlton spoke *£
Danielville, Madison county, ou
Tuesday and, after his speech. the
meeting endorsed him for Govern
or. This practically puts him in
the race. He said that he does not
seek the office, but that he has re
ceived a great many letters urging
him to go into the race. Dr. Carl
ton speaks at Elberton today, Ei
bert acts on Saturday and his
friends hope to get Carlton dele
gates there.’’
Over the whole matter we are
persuaded to agree with brother
Woodall of the Columbus Evening
Ledger:
Gen. Evans and his candidacy
seem tv have gotten lost so use where
in the shuffle, to the Atlanta pa
j ers.
