the HUSTLER OF ROME. -THIRD year. Tffl » Will Open a Section of Tcr- ~,t Kieh in Ores and Timber saRD Halt To talll and Ko«e Furnaces to be lu cfllcnl»bly Benefited by the new R a ilff.y^ annel Tbe circuit court for the United States for the Northern distr.ct of Georgia, Fitting in Atlanta, has ,noroved the recommendation of Reiver Burke, of the Chattanoo ga Southern Railroad, permitting him to construct a branch hue from that railway to the Round Mountain furnace, in Cherokee, county, Ala. This .is one of the I oldest furnaces in the State and quite renowned for the character o f its product. It is now operated under lease by the Rome Iron Company of Rome, Ga., of which Mr.l.S.Coiyar is president. For several year.s past the large tanneries in Chatanooga and at Flint stone, on the Chatanooga Southerin railway, have been obtaining their supplies so tan bark from points on that line. When the tree is cut down and the bark peeled, the timber is parwitied to lie on the gromd, the greater part being liable to rot. Tae building of this small branch will enable the Round Mountain and Rome furnaces both to con tract for large amounts cf char coal ou the line of the Chattaoooga Southern Railway, thus utiliziag the enormous amount of limber that is now lying useless on th<e slopes of Lookout Mountain and will bo promotive of a very lasg* and important u-dustry, as the supply is practically inexhausti ble and the wood for coaling and other advantages so great that at is supposed charcoal may bo <<j taiaed there at lower prices than any other place in the United States. In addition to this important ex tension of the Chattanooga Southern railway, several large ore mines are being opened end grading ®f th* l road leading to tbeni have already beetn commenced. The depression of business does not seem to .‘.fleet the enterprising char acter of Gen. Joseph W. Burke. the receiver of the road.who believes that the best time to make improvements is in times of depression, when mate rial is cheapest and work may be ac complished at low prices so as to take advantedge of the era of prosper t y that is coming to that country. The object of the receiver is to make the Chattanooga Southern a mineral road, and in this he is second ed by the approval &i d aid of the re organization committee sitting in RewYork.

Evans was a, “Know-nothing” before the war. It is known, however, that he has fl ways been a Democrat, and a pure one at that.' r we clip the above from the Bruns wick Times, one of the Evans par tisan sheets of this campaign, and meet it with the so o ving letter a copy of which we have; Richland Ga., April 7. 1794. Mr. L. C. Woodward, Dear Sir:—Yours of recent date was received a few minutes ago and I haste to reply. Gon. Evans r un against me as a‘‘Know-Noth ing” I a Democrat. I was always a Democrat and Evans always the opposite. He never was a Demo caat until since the war. As to tho year we made the race, I can’t tel definitely but as to his politics 1 am positive and certain * * # L could give plenty of evidence if n was necessary but enough for jour purpose. As ever very truly, Jubilee Smith. Mr.-Smith is a cit izen of Rich land £ a., but at the tune he wrote this letter was visiting his brotei in Gainesville, Fla. Thecrecords of the state, ehow that in. 1855, Stewart county went “Know-Noting” 632, Democratic 550,; and in the next election the Know-i Nothing vote was -598 and lhe democratic vote was 558, for legis a-tJve members. Any r?ne doubing the correctness of any of tho above can commu nicate with J, T. Holder of Lump kin, Ga.,, Sheriff of Stuart -county. EVANS WEAKNESS.. One of the strongest -evidences of General Evans’ weakness is be trayed by the action of the Exe ; outive Committee oi Stewart coun ■ty. Stewart is the General’s old Home county and he has had ev «,ry right to claim and expect it out , The Executive Committee, wb. h is almost solidly for Evans, has calleu iu an order far the county’s a ton at an early date, and set it a month P jer-—deferring the fateful day, know i-,g that Mr. Atkinson is bouxd c capture the delegation. Net so ill DeKalb, where mai y of the voters work and do business iu Atlanta. The Executive Commit tee of DeKalb is,for Evans and see ing that Mr. Atkinson was moving up ou the Generaj, this committee ed.led in the older for county atdien oa June 39 and set it for Saturday May 26 or more th&n a month earl ier, and yiet the Constitution says Atkinson is bunching his counties and polling all h’s strength now.

That Prove Conclusively Where Atkinson is “at” and FLINGS THE LIE IN THE FACE OF THE DEMAGOGUE WHO PRANCE THE EARTH, SWEARING THAT “MR AKINBON IS AN ENEMY TO THE OLD SOLDIER.’ lOUNG ATKINSON UF THE BTH, GA- Because Mr. Atkinson preferred to issue pensions direct to disa bled Confederate soldiers at their homes allowing them to eujoj these pensions with their families, surrounded by wives aud living sympathetic children, instead ol breaking up the family and send ing such of the old veterans to At lanta as would go, Mr. Atkinsoi, has been denounced as untrue t° Confederate nijmonea and tbe re spect that should be shown th' old soldier. The charge is baseless and ha» no foundat on in fact* While Mr Atkinson was only 9or 10 years i old when the war broke out, hit brother, aged nineteen or twentj. threw down his text books at Era ury college and joined the Echols Guards, the first company that lei , Meriwether for the war. This company was company D of the famous 8 h. Georgia regi ment. This regiment had in it on company from Savannah, on Atlanta, two from Floyd county, one from Bartow and one from Green, John R, Towers was colo nel and lieutenant colonel and E. J. Magruder lieutenant colonel and major as the war progressed Gen. Bartow led the regiment at Manaisas on the 21st.of July 1861 aud wis shot down at the he d of the column. John P. Atkinson was mortally wounded being on® of the first martyrsof the Confederate cause.He lacked only a tew months of graduation and would have re- ceived his diploma aud honors oi tne class a day or two after he was shot down in the first great victo ry of the war. None who heard il will ever forget his speech at Ox ford closing with the lines, Oh, if there be up®n Ukis earthly sphere, a boom, an offering Hi it U aven holds dear, t is the last Isibationthat liberity draws, 1 From tbe heart, that breaks bleeds in her cause. No brother, no patriot could ever prove recreant to the zu mory of such a noble youth and brother, or ever forget the survivors, the heroes o the Lost Cause. Mr. Ak mon has shown his last ing reverence for the gallant, disabl ed veterans of the great struggle by being foremost in every movement; to honor the dead and pension the! living - It is true he voted against ’ the Atlanta Home because he though! 1 he Knew a better war of providing for the wants of the bravest of the b flip u live. And who will say that he did no devise a better plan when he voted pensioHM lor the old mdn aud widows of the state direct, permitting them to enjoy the benefits of the relief granted around their own family al tars and ’jaeath their own vine and fig t-e' Atlanta wanted one home in At- | lanta: Atkinson wanted to car- 1 ray riliof to the hundreds of homes in every’couaty in the state. Instead of one home in one city he planned for many homes in ev ery county bringing relief to thou sands of homes ail over old Geor gia. Should he be censured for thia? 1 Was his not the best way. Is he by his plan to be adjudged an ene my to Confederate memories or Confederate veterans? fflM 1.1 AUS I’v six Counties aud Fourteen Instructed Delegates RWINE WHEELS INTO LINE \ND SWELL THE ATKI.SSON C JLUI N. * i MASS MEET NO EQUAL TO THAT I E D K- AUGUSTA.
