Have theTw^J 1 ;” the
City Clerks Office?
IF NOT YOU ARE IN IT.
M DOUBLE TAXATION AT LEAST
YOU WILL BE, UNLESS YOU ATTEND
toIT BY MOSDAY ok TUESDAY.
jupbovevour last chance-or
LOOK OUT.
Have you made returns to the
C itv Clerk ou your personal prop
erty? ,
If you have net. look out for a
double tax.
You have had fair warning, lhe
law requires all returns to be m by
the first of Muy so that the tax rate
can be fixed and the approprations
made for the yeer.
The penalty for a falure to do
this is double taxation. Here is
the ordinance read it for you self.
‘•lt snail be the duty of all per
iods to give in their taxes by the
time prescribed, and any person
failing to do so shall be doubly
taxed.”
Os course you dent want to pay
double tax ; its hard enough to pay
it once. But you cant b,ame the
city authorities. They must do ther
duty. The town must be kept go
ing. If you set back and neglect
your duty you must pay for it.
A good many have doubtless
filled out the blanks furnished
them, but failed to return then to
the City Clerk . These should be
sent in without a moments delay.
On the 10th of th*B month the
council must fix the tax rate and
provide tor the running expenses
ot the city.
This cannot be done until the
returns are all iu. Any who have
failed to get their returns in before
that date will certainly suffer the
penalty of the doable tax.
Don’t neglect this matter anoth
er minute. Go the first thing on
Monday m uumg io the City
Clerk's cilice ami fiie vuur returns*
Ibis is important, it will save
you money. It will save the city
authorities auueyaupe. It may
help to reduce the tax rate for th*-
year.
It you are wise you w til act on
this “tip 'at the vary first oppor
tunity. Send in your returns!

Before an oni —of—Atlanta <leimier.it
Who Refuted every charge made by
the Missionary who had been sen;
oat to mike it •spontain,’
Lawrenceville. May 3. —Yester-
day wns a great day for the Atkin
son men of Gwennett county, fora
Felder of Atlanta came up and ad
dressed about 125 democrats. He
spoke not so much for Evans lut
against Atkinson, whom he brand
ed as a traitor who was guilty of
perfidy. He abused all the legis
lators who are supprrting Atkin
son, and declaired that the judges
and solicitor generals were in u
corrupt ring. He said further that
rhe Macon Telegraph w»s owned
aud edited by a wall street Repub
licau, who, : f.er the war was a
carpet-bagger in Ge* rgia, and the
editor, as well as every other man
who works on the Telegraph is an
enthusiastic Evans man, but h?d
to obey orders from the Wall Ft.,
owner of the paper. He made ten
charges against Atkinson, and did
it in loud tones. When he closed
it seemedt bat half the crowd was
tor Evane.
However, at the conclusion of
his speech there was numerous
calls for Maj, W. E. -Simmons
who rose quickly from his chair
and spreading out before him a
brief of the charges that had been
made proceeded in a quiet way to
answer them.
Taking them up one by one he
answered everyone of them to the
e.itire satisfaction of all present,
and to the great chagrin and dis
comforture of the Atlanta-Evans
boome. When Maj. Simmons re
ferred to the supposed fact that
Felder had been s-nt out by the
Atlanta-Evans club "to make
spontaneity spouiain,” the house
went wild with Atkinson enthusi
asm.
Mi.j. Simmons said that Atkiu
doii’s friends had begged and im
portuned for a continuation oi
the joint debates, but Gen. Evans
Atlanta boomers had run the gen
eral und r he bed aud iuati ad ot
aciting fairy, were now sending
young lawyers from Atlanta to
stab Auiusou in the back aud
misrepresent him where he had
no opportunity to set himselt
right befi re the people.
Al the conclusion of the speech
several Evans men aunou.icxi for
Atkinson. Among this number
was the clerk of the superior couft
D. T. Cain an old soldier, and
heretofore an ardent Evans man.
|He is now talking tor Atkinson,
aud if indications count for any
thing Gwinnett county will send
an Atkinson delegation tj the
Convention.

ATKINSON CARRY’S BALDWIN
THE SCENE 01 THE HARDEST CONTEST
OF THU LOT, EVANS HAS TEN V-TES
WHILE AI'HIN-ON CAPTURES SIX-
EVEN IT WAS A r.u-H.
The first guns has been fired,
and not withwit’istanding it ha-*
been General Evans policy to
rush the fighting and enip oy
mass meetings instead of prnni
; ies, out of sixteen voters from
five counties. Mr. Alkmsoii carries
two counties and six votes.
xhu counties to act were Merri
weather with four votes and
Baldwin with two votes, these
vent to Mr. Atkin°Oii and the lat
ter is conceded a victory for him
Then Richmond with six votes
, Elbert with two votes and Terrell
with two more votes went for Gen.
Evans.
Talliaffero county was looked
for action but np to the hour the
telegraph offices closed, last nighi.
no news could be obtained. This
county is claimed very strongly by
the Evans people.
Mr. Atkinson’s friends in Rome
understands the tactics of the
Evans boomers and knowing tbeii
plans to have been that out a few
certain counties and by certain
meetings capture the county dele
gates aud undertaketo work a stam
pede are highly pleased with the
results of vesterdays efforts.
As for Floyd county some ol
rhe Evans Leaders are “wearing a
worrid look,” and if they have
not lost hope they haveJmosc.Fioyd
is an Atkinson county. “Mark
that prediction.”
