Some of his acts as a Legisla. tor Favored the payment of fraud ulent bonds—several votes against Confederate Veterans. A bad record as a legislator. ATKINSON AGAINST THE OLD SOLDIERS Mr Atkinson in all his speeches boasts of his love for the Confder -Bt9 Veterans and of his efforts in their behalf. How does his record compare with these professions? He voted against the acceptance of the Sol diers Home in any term. The House Journal for 1889, page 1003, shows that he did not vote on a bill to amend the acts in reference to disabled Confeder ate \ eterau s. ATKINSON FOR FRAUDULENT BONDS, In 1893, while he was Speaker of the House Representative, Hon. W, Y. Atkinson came down out of the Speakers chair and made a speech in favor of the payment of |42,C00 of bonds which the state has repudiated. The people will not be fooled by the cry of Atkinson against the old Soldiers. Atkinson against the Atlanta Soldiers poor house is the way it should be put. The same Atlanta crowd who tried to intimidate, and brow-beat and force the Georgia Legislature into accepting the poor house, are are now howling themselves hoarse against Atkinson. The wool-hat boys in the coun try are onto the racket They dont expect to take their politics from such kid-gloved, downy-faced chape as Tom Felder, and Frank O'Bryan and Albert Howell and Tom Railroad Cobh. Your boodle, and your brass and your brag cant stand against plain facts. We know you, boys; your methods may have worked once, but they ar« getting thread-bare now. Suppose or analyze just one of the above charges aganst Mr. Atkinson t ley raised the cry*’ for Corpora tions-ugamst the people—He favor ed the payment of fraudlent bonds.

These gentlemen made a unani mous report recommending the payment of these bonds. They could not find a single objection to them, but reported thit they were an honest, valid, binding ob ligation of the Slate. These are the bonds that Mr. Atkinson said the State ought to pay. Ihe Atlanta boudlers nov * call them fraudulent. Mr. Bacon advocated their payment. Mr. Fleming advocated their payment. Milton A. Candler advocated thei payment . Judge Turner said they should be paid. Are they corrunt men? Are they for corporations against the people. The Atlanta Constitution then said they should be paid. The Atlanta Journal then said they should be paid. This sweet scented crowd of At lauta dudes are hard pressed for campaign material when they put such lies, and slanders as this in to print. The peop'e of Georgia are hon est. They believe the State should be so, Mr. Atkinson will never lose a vote for favoring the pay ment of an horest debt. SWUNG HIM TO A LIMB .

New York May 14, —There is lit tle if any improvement in business circles. The weather has stimulrted farming operations and caused an in • creased demand for seasonable goods but merchants and traders of high and low degree are paralyzed by tariff uncertainty and do only a hand to mouth business. Bankers who are in close touch with various parts of the country are dishatit ned by the letters of tbeic correspoi eafr,'enitory affected by tne great coal strikes being in a par ticularly unfavorable condition a About 175,000 men are involved in these, and many works that are dependent upon a cheap supply o 1 soft c ial have shut down, Con. gress does not dispose of the tariff question during the coming week Congress is going to be scoldt d in a good, sound democratic way. Spec ial meetings f the Manhatter Cub and Dt mo rat.e Club have been ci li ed to consider the question. The Democratic Club will meet on Men day. May 21. and the Manhatb n Club will meet on Thursdi y, May 24. The meeting of the J a ffiatten Club promises to ba one of the stormiest known for years, and if the present intention of the members is carried out there will be some dan ger of a split in the organization. Under the Constitution and by laws thirty (members of the club can have a special meeting called. A notice was posted on Friday evening asking ths Board of Governors to call a meeting for the purpose of considering lhe political, situation and urging upon Congress early action up n the tariff question. The call was signed by thirty members of the organization and the pos’ingof the notice caused a stir among the .other members. Little else was talked about thut evening. There was enough oppositio.i ex pressed to indicate that there would be a very lively row and not a little plain talk if a meeting were calhd The Board of Governors, in obedience to the notice, called a meeting for the evening of May 24. The statue of Columbus, after the original by the Spanish artist, Sunol, was unveiled Saturday af ter noon at the lower end of the Mall in Central Park. There were more than five hundred guests on the benches, which had been ar ranged in semicircular form about the grand stand on which the speaKers were seated. The platform was decorated with American flags, and among others seated there wer° Vice Pres ident Stevenson, Major Gilroy, Bishop Potter. Cornelius Vander ilt, Admiral Gherardi and Ben hain, Baron Fava, Chauncy M Depew, Mrs Julia Ward How and several officers from the Spanish war ship at present anchored in the Bay. The statue is a copy of a figure of Columbus and stands on a base designed by Napoleon Le Brun. It is of bronze, and represents the navigator as he lands on Ameri can soil. He holds a cross and lhe Spanish standard in his right hand, and the left is outstretched in invocation. The face is of the type famil iarly shown, being beardless, with high retreating brow and broad cheeks, almost Indian in its char, acteristics. Suuol has many stat ues of Columbus, but this is con sidered to be hie best work. A WILD PREACHER. HE DENOUNCES THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET AND FAVORS COXEY. Jacksonville. Fla., May 16, —A lively sensation has been created at Inverness, Fla. by a sermon which the Rev. Dr. Biggs, of the Christian chuich, delivered last night. The doctor's subject was tV ‘‘Movement on Washington by the Commonweal Army.” But he made do reference to Coxey beyond say ing that congress should grant his demands.

As for Floyd county, there is no set of Evans Club Executive com mittee, nor is there enough Max Meyerhardts to coutrole the unter ifield democrats and carry the county against its sense and con fictions. Put Floyd with her six votes in the Atkinson columns. It will never be changed.
