THE HUSTLER OF ROME. "; H : ; ’ YEAR. B cum - Club CirCT'»r» Sent In- i’ 10 Gwinett. igEC o , h , Ne ” ” “ n« »“ »» w , are MM. «• , 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.

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 in January, 1813.

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.

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.
