The Great Georgia Evange list Ca >tures Chattanooga.| 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.

Six counties wi 11 act Tomorrow. Under th® heading of “The First Guns," last nights Journal has 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. DEATH OF MRS LACOUT AFTER MUCH BUFFERING THE SWEET SPIRIT WAS LIBERATED T«I3 MORNING. At an early hour this morning,after a long and painful illness and much sufferings the sweet motherly spirit es Mrs Virginnia LaCout slipped through the bars of night into the portals of Eternal day. Mrs LaCout breathfd her last, as the home of her sisters. Mrs J.L Camp, on Second Avnue. She was surrouded by loved ones who w» re untiring in their tender ministra tions. She leaves a husband and a num ber of interesting children who feel keenly the great berevment they have suffered in the loss o' such a wife and mothe?, Miss. La Couts home was at Adaris ville. About a week ago she anv ed in this city on a visit to her sister Mrs. Camp, and at the same time to be’treated for tumor.

A MASONIC FUNERAL. AND MR, JACK FUNDFRBURK IS LAID TO REST.

The death of this aged citizen, for 40 years has been a member of the Cherokee Lodge F. <k A. M . oc curred at his home in the country yesterday afternoon. A very good sized delegation of Cherokee membsrs went out to a tend the last sad rites. Shorter College, Tomorrow night, Mr. Howel‘s Lecture. 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- FLA-ZEFST’S JVC JVy SALE OF DRESS GOODS AND SILKS- Graduating and Commencment DRESSES -- ■ , v Special Indncnients This will also be a great week in dress goods and silks at our emporium.

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. Mrs. Capt. Stillwell, after a pleasant visit to her daughter, Mrs. Charley Gammon of Aum«- ton. returned to her home in this city today, Mr, Thomas Warterg, the Root* Cigar Factory man, went down Cedartown yesterday on a“ssecafis 1 fu’ business ‘rin • I
