THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THIRD year. W iwm The Lyingci^^F^"’ the Atlanta Slander Mill CIRCULATING IN FLOYD os the eve *F the PRIMARY elec ’tioN eight LIEB NAILED IN ONE PARAGRAPH DOES GENERAL EVANS ENDORSE BUCH rottenness. Below, we publish one of a number O s similar paragraphs,: clipped from the Atl-nta supplement of the mor ni<f “Jußsh. , Glessner.late of Ohio,edits theGnffin Sun He opposes Evans, and the bur den of his opposition ’8 “down with Confederate Brigadiers.’’Seifert( Re publican),late of New York,edits the Macon Telegraph. The song Im sings is ‘we have had enough of ex Confed, grates" These are the only daily news n apers in Georgia,so far as we know which support Mr Atkinson. John A CockeriH,of New York, editor of the Advertiser an extreme Republican, who has never lost an opportunity to abuse the South is fighting Gener al Evans because he was a C infed erate Brigadier. These men rallied around Atkinson when he spoke con temptuously of the people’s kindly sentiments for old soldiers. Think, Georgians, think! Tne great mass of our Northern citizens do not endorse attacks upon ex—Confederates. The People’s ill. Now lets see what there is in the above statement: Lie one: Mr Glessner 'does not cry “down with Confederate Brig adiers.” Mr. Glessner is a Northern man it is true but he was only 8 years old when the war began ; he has lived in the South for many years and has done more to build up Georgia, since residing here, than has the editors of the “Atlau ta Peoples Will” and the morning ‘•Jonah” of Rome —and unlike them he is a democrat. Lie two: Serfert is not a Re publican but a democrat. Lie three: He is not late of New York,” but lives there. Lie four: He does not edit the Macon Telegraph, nor has he ever edited it. Lie five: He does not sing said song but admires the brave Con federate for he has tasted of him on the battle field. Lie Six:—Well, lie Six may not be a lie, for it may be that the editor ‘’of The Atlanta Peoples Hill” is like General Evans was before the war, a “Know-Nothing.” But everybody else in Atlanta knows that there are at least half a dozen other staunch democratic dailies doing battle for the only democrat who is running on a dem ocratic record—W, Y. Atkinson of Coweta. Lie Seven:—John A. Cockerell, has never “rallied around” Mr. Atkinson and the base slanderer ff ho runs the “Atlanta Peoples Hill” knows it, and knows more he knows that.it was Clark Howell aud other Atlantans who slobbered a B over old Cockerell, the south hater, during his recent visit to Georgia. Lie eight: Mr, Atkinson has never spoken “contemptously of * e peoples kindly sentiment for d soldiers ’ and we defy the liars >he publisher of the same to ow from one single speech of ji Atkinson's one word which ** hU PPort their slanderous statement. Now these eight bare faced false- * n th o above statement, t are not only false but 0 oriously false, and the editor knoTsTt da ' ly Papor hl G9org ' a sufh°‘‘XV ribUae ’ iQCirCUlating m Paigu stuff” as this, on ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING MAY 25. 1894. the day previous to the primary in Floyd county believe that it is do ing right? Does the Rev .C. A . Ev ans, Atlanta’s candidate, believe that the Tribune is “purifying politics” when it circulates what he and the Tribune both know to be printed h» s? Is it fair to flood a county with such false hood just prior to an elec tio: , and so near the election that the lalse charges may not be refuted? Is this Democratic in a Democratic primary ? Gen Evans andhis folloerws may be lieve that such methods are purify ing politics, but the fighting demo crats who want a fighting democrat ic statesman for a leader in the big fight of ’94 would scorn to stoop to sharp practice. Atkinson will win w.t'.iou: it,he is a veteran democrat. 12th. ANNUAL CONVENTION. OF THE W. C. T. U. OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. The 12th. Annual Convention of the W C. T.

M IS THIS? Are the Wool Hat Boys of Floyd TO BE BOUGHT LIKE SHEEP Uy The Atlanta Boodlers? Here is The Plot Exposed by a Colunibu" Lawyer Through Frank and Wil 1 Haralson ot Atlanta. That “foul slander” cry, raised by the Rome Tribune seems to be purely an attempt to “ink the wa ters,” that the exposed rascality might escape in its own dark shad ows. Here is the story from the Co. lumbus Ledger giving names and details, places and dates and is well worth the while for ever y vo ter in Rome and Floyd to scar, its information closely. Heres the let ter : The Atlanta manipulators of Gen. Evans’ candidacy have indeed fallen upon desperate measures in their efforts te elect their candi date. They relize that they are almost defeated now and have prepared to resort to measures which will be repuiateij by the people of the great Commonwealth of Georgia. The inf irmation comes to the Led ger directlv from ’ a prominent and well-known Columbus gentleman now in Atlanta, that the Atlanta Evans Club has prepared to attempt to purchase the votes of Muscogee and Floyd, two of the large counties which act next Saturday. The letter is given below. Read and judge for yourself: Evening Ledger. Columbus. Ga., I desire t» give you a bit of im-. portant information which should be communicated te all Atkinson men, at once. I am here attending ihe Supreme Court aud may not return to Columbus in time to do so myself. Yesterday the “Evans Club” of (his city had a meeting in which they passed a resolution to send a ‘Knight of Labor” man to Colum ous, Saturday with as much boo dle as is necessary to carry Musco gee county for Gen . Evans, and he same resolution included the county of Floyd, which also acts this week My information comes straight aud is reliable. Messrs. Will aud Frank Haral son are brothers aud partners practicing law in tb.e city. Frank Harralson is better known as the ex-State librarian. Frank is a strung Evans man. Will is a strong Atkinsou man. Here-to-fore, Will has kept his own secret, and not even did Frauk know his politics, although he was of firm belief that he was too for Evans. Frauk was uuable to atteud the Evans meeting, being out of the city, but by special request of Frank Will represented him. He was present aud with his own ears heard all of the deliberations of the meeting. N L. Trammel was the leader, the a ecial promulgator and advo cate of the above resolution It passed and passed unahmousy Tne result is Trammel left trie city today for county, there to do the corrupt work. This is not all the meeting dis cussed the advisability of issuing a circular to those of the Evans people in the counties to act tins week, stating that, unless Evans was inuniphaut this week, he was defeated aud might as well with draw from the race. But that failed to pass because of the liability of that circular falling into Atkinson's hands, or the hands of his friends, Harralson (Will) made the above statement to Win A. Little and J. M.DuPree of Montezuma, personaly. Therefore, it is reliable. Yours Hurriedly, B. 8 Miller. A’linta, Ga , May 23. d DID CHATTOOGA May be put in tne Atkinson Column. CROWDS AT SUMMERVILLE Listen to a Speech of an Hour and Thirty Minutes Much Enthusiasm Among the Wool hat Democrats Speke at Trion Factory Last Night. Summerville, Ga., May 24. 1894. (Special)—Hod. W. Y, Atkinson addressed an audience consisting of something over four hundred people, at this place today. The crowd was larger than an ticipated owing to the fact that a large number of the farmers ot this county had been in attend ance on court for the past week, and it was expected that a good many of them would take advan tage of the beautiful w eather «nd apply themselves to heir crops. Mr Atkinson made a plain straight forward talk and was well reeixed by all present,and the mnmber of heavy applausts that inters pt resed his speach bespoke the fact that tie people of Chattooga county were with aim,”hot and heavy’ and no mattea whether successful or in the campaign he will ever hold a warm place in the hearts of m uiy of Chattooga’s best citizens. He began his speech by alluding to the unfair, fight that was being made upon him by some of the dai ly papers of this state and were i 6 not for the confidence that he had i: the people of Georgia, believing that they would cast their votes as fret citizens in accordance to the dictates of reason and. justice, and refuse to be dictated to by such papers of this state as conid not be relied upon He would feel discouraged, indeed. Ab an example of the injustice that had been done him, he refer red to the special sent from Hall county charging him with having called General Evans a “superan uated idiot”, and several others of like nature all of which be brand ed as false. After briefly giving his position upon the national issues, he referred to General Ev ans as his lovable opponent, say ing that he had no fight te make upon Evans’ personal character, but that in person in announcing himself as a candidate for any of fice, then his public record opens ;o discussion. He proceeded discuss his rec ord as a public servant, and also 'hat of General Evans. He then referred to the way in which Gen. Evans’ managers were conducting the fights, that they were not sat isfied with the two papers in At lanta and had started two others, one of which was called the “Peo ples Choice,” as if be, (Atkinson) was not the peoples choice, the ether was called the Peoples Will” as if the peoples will was not Will Atkinson. In speaking of the manager of General Evans, he referred to a little incidence that occurred in his home. His small son who had evidently been keeping up with the campaign, asked his mother: “Who are General Evans Mana gers. papa hasn’t got any?” And upon being satisfied about this question he then asked if he (Ev ans would have any managers if elected for governor. Yes. a few of them. Those Atlanta politicians are not spending their money and time in trying to elect Gen. Evans for nothing. He then spoke of the charges made against hirn and distribu ted throughout the country in the shape of “dodgers” etc, in which he is charged with failing to vote for a permanent appropriation for public eehools, voted for the pay ment of fraudulent bonds and several others of like nature all of which were explained by reference to the Journals of the House and the exact circum stances connected with these chargee. Mr. Atkinson spoke for one heur and a halt and the rapt at tention that was given him brougbout the entire time is very uguificant. Chattooga mey be re ied upon as an Atkinson county, Cui. Atkinsou will address the citizens at Trion Factory tonight. BIG CROWD AT TRION, Trion Factory, Ga. May, 25 '94 (Special)—Col. W. Y Atkinson, uie next governor of Georgia, ad dressed a very large assemblage of people at this place last night, tl is speech was received with more i hap ordinary interest and the iiithubiasm displayed by the crowd present in their frequent bursts of applause is a strong token of the people’B choice for governor. In his entire speech he alluded oGen. Evans in the most respect .ul terms aud made atttact only •hi bis public life and his unloyalty to the democratic party in time of need. The main thread of hi-* speech a'hs directed against the ignomi neoiM way in wtiicn certain ii leuus of the General, were carrying on this fight aud in correcting the false and malicious charge > made against him in his private and po litical lite. These charges were all cleared away to the satisfaction of all present. Mr, Atkinsou will address the citizens of Walker county tomor row at jLnFayetts, Saturday he _>oes te Trenton, Hade couutyj Georgia. B. F.
