Kecerd-
, IJe Evans club of Atlanta has
.. e ni some circulars into this co m
tv and th* spontauers of Gwin
nH ’ tt county are handing them out
TLeV attack Atkinson’s rcord—or.
J,.; lbe y pretend to attack it
Doubtless y< u have seen one oi
them.
Let us take them up one by one
and answer them, just to se e how
many lies the average Atlanta pol
itition can squeeze into so short a
pace. Here we go.
Charge No, 1 -It is said that
Atkinson opposed the I witty bill.
Without discussing merits of the
Twitty bill The News will support
Evans if Atkinson did not vote
twice in favor of the bill. We
have s«“u the house Journals and
will swear th.-t he did.
Charge No. 2.—lt ’•« charged
that Atkinson voted against the
bill providing for the inspection
of fertilizers. Did he? The News
has seen the records, and upon
its honor it avers that Atkinson
voted to reduce the fee for the m.
upectiou ot fertilizers from 50c
per ton to 10c. per ton. This bill
alone has already saved the farm
ers of Gwinnett county $2,500.
Charge No, 3, —It is said Atkin
son voted agaiuet the interest ot
the soldiers. Let us see about
that, When he was first elected
to the legislature eight years ago
the soldiers of this state were
drawing $19,000 a year. To-day
they are drawing $460,000 a year.
Atkinson has voted for all this in
crease. He did vote against the
so-called soldiers’ home, aud three
legislatures have indorsed his ac
tions in that matter. Not on<-
third ot the old soldiers ot Gwin
nett county favored that home.
Charge No. 4 —lt has been in
dustriously circulated in this
counly that Atkinson is an enemy
to public education . This is the
most unjust charge of all. The
truth is he has voted aud aided to
increase the common senool fund
from $400,000 to $1,250,000 per
annum; and he introduced the bib
porviding fur the establishment
of the Georgia Normal and Idustn--.
al school for girls, that poor girir
might be able to sustain them
selves and their parents in old
age. Is not. this a pretty good rec
ord? Is it not better than Evans’
record on the question of educa
t*on? Gen. Evans voted to with
draw ALL AID by the state to ed
’icational purposes. We have seen
the record, and if he did not do so
We "Ci fe/-aport him.
Charge N 0.5. Tom tit Felder,or
Tomht Fiddlesticks, or Tcm-tit
Wt-every-you-call him, said that
1900 has done nothing ter the

ding for the election f the commis
sioner of agriculture by the people.
Was that not in the interest of the
tanners? He introduced the bill by
which the state is annually saved sls,
000 for the inspection of oils. Is this
Lot in the inteiest of the people? He I
voted to increase the public school •
fund from S4OOO 000 to '51,250,0il 0
per annum. Are the farmer und then
children not benefited by thin law?
He helped to draw the bill by which
tiie State road betterment question
was settled,with a saving to the state
750,000. Was that not in the in
terest of the people? The truth is,At
kinson never has cast a vote against
the interest of the people, and if any
one will show us that he has we will
suppoit Evans.
Let every democrat who has at
heart the success of the party go to
the polls Saturday and vote for W.
Y. Atkinson.
Now, what about Evans intorduc
ing a bill to abolish trial by jury. We
offered last week to give the Gwin
ett Herald SIOO if Evans did not
do that very thing. The offer is still
open to acceptance, if Evans should
be nominated how would 1 e be able
to meet Hines and Watson, on tie
stump with his record on this juiy
business and his vote to withdraw
all aid by the state to education.
Democrat, you must consider these
things? The third party cannot
urge one single thing against Bill
Atkinson’s record, and if we nom
inate him we will beat the third
party out of its boots, don’t you
think the result would be very
doubtful with Evans relusirg to
meet Hines or Watsi n on the
stump?
IN Al E MORI AM
Died in this city on Saturday’
May 12, —.1894 William Hopkins, ol
Gordon county. At the timo cf his
death Mr. Hopkins was 81 years old
having been born in South Carolina

native st ate and moved to Gordon
county, locating near Plainville, wheie
he resided nntill 1865 when he moved
to the state of Indiana.
In 1877 Mr. Hopkins returned to
Goadon county, locating at his old
h ome where he lived at tl.c time of
his death. He w«s a good citizen,
aud had the confidence and esteem
of all who knew him. In 18G9 he
united with tee Methodist church
and the last 25 years of his life was
spimt as an humble follower of the
meek and lowly Christ, and when
death claimed his reward he peace
fully folded his arms and fell asleep
on the breast of the Savior who n .
dor him.
Mr. Hopkins leaves two sons, five
daughters, aud a host of friends, to
mourn his death yJ - E

1 Hl* AUDIENCE Was A SLIM ONE
AND VERY tf LIM AT THAT.
Arlington, May 18. — [Special.]
Gen Evans spoke h re last night
to mi audience of .88--as f0110w5,45
men and boys, 31 women aud girls
and 12 colored. The first appeal
was to old soldiers not to let t'm
saying of Mr. Cockerell of N
York come to pass, that if he was
defeated in the nomination the re
pent tor the <»ld soldiers and the
war was gone forever. His next
appeal was to the sons of the old
-oidiers not to be voting against
their tethers, that it would look
bad and be disgrac«ful and that
we (I) needed unity.
He says when he is nominated
md elected governor and taKes his
seat, then he would like to rev’sit
this country, Fort Gaines, Bluff
on, Blakely and Arlington would
have a kind ren embr nee in his
nind. As much as to say if not
dected they would be blotted from
his memory forever.
He spoke an hour and fifteen
minutes, was cheered but three
times. The loudest and longest
was whe i h* finished.

CONSERVATORY FRIDAY
NIGHT.
The Violin ai d Piano Recital
given on Friday evening at the
Conservatory of Music by Mr. P.
J. Fortin and Miss Francis Snell
was in every respect a very great
success. Miss Snail displayed a
beautiful and finished n-choic, a
perfect idea of phrasing and tone
shading; and a most marvelous
in-morv. H-*r program contain'd
I some if tile most dilli e; c cbmpo
(si’.on for the pianoforte. She
I played with much em- nd grace.
Mr. Fortin deserves much cred
i it in bringing forth such fiuiahfd
j pupils. The Violin composition.;
I were of 'he v-ry highest ••r<l<-r;
i and were played not onlv techni |
| cally well, but with great dignity
•of thought and musical expres-
Ision.
The Fugue by Bach was simply
. a marvel of execution, strength
and memory.
