t „ e Atlanta man is u Victin of
his friends,
Fort v a^^ 31 -- T
fact that Houston county * lh g°
n Atkinson is no longer doubted
bv iu Evans friends, who have all
al’oug claimed it by about two to
oue but s.Dce many of them were
at the largest gathering that was
eV er held in the county last Satur
lav at Centerville, where they
fouid only about 35 votes for Ev
ans out of between 400 and 500
voters, they ccucede it.
This information coupled with
the landslide in favor of Atkinsou
by the action of the counties last
Saturday, which primaries were
held, forces Evans’ friends here to
almost abandon their choice Mid
take up Atkinson’s cause.
Evans’ friends do nob deny that
they are somewhat surprised ar
Atkinson’s strength, and many ol
them say it is useless for the 'Gen.
ti contest longer for gubernatorial
him re- . . „ _
One thing that is causing Gen. Ev -
ans tolose to such an extent is letters
that are being sent out from Stew
art county—his native county—all
over the State. Following is a sen
tence, or clause in them:
“Gen Evans is losing friends in
some of the count es because he re
fuses to meet Mr. Atkinson cm the
stump and substantiate the false
charges he (Evans)permits his friends
print and circulate over the counties
to act. This is a cowardly and un
derhand. way to conduct a campaign
for the high office of governor. If
the charges against Mr Atk’neon are
true, Gen. Evans ought to accept Mr
Atkifißoa‘B challenge to substantiate
them.
Is it right for a man who ie run
ning for governor to become a party
in such methods? The people are not
looking for fa’se charges from a min
ister.”
1 his is the reference in the let
ter from Gen. Evans' old home.
\ e do not ouly find him nauagling
with those who circulate false
charges, but he has never said yet
* hat he disapproved of the use of
meney or whiskey in his behalf,
'mt dodges by saying “It is done
without my knowledge.”
Atkinson is far in the
surprise of the many

P AN EXCITING CHASE.
A SMALL NEOSO BOY STEALS A HARP VROM
1 AM ITALIAM.
Quite a lively scene was enacted
on upper Broad Street this morning
1 The two principals being A small ne
1 gro boy, and an Kalian* who keeps
I a small toy stand on the sidewalk be.
: tween 4th and sth Avenues.
The negro boy came walking up
the Steet appearantly half asleep,but
whan he arrived at the
Brand he seemed to become atonoe|in
- tense! | nteresced be stopped p i ked
up his ears, and took in the sitaatio i
at a glance. The Italian vender, had
i placed some large French harps in
a conspictious place marked “price
. 40 cents,’’ Sambo’s thoughts was not
, of the 40 cents, but how to get po
session of one of those fine harps.
i He was not long deciding what
course to persue, he made a dive for
the largest one on the stand, and tor®
ff up Broad Street at a Nancy Hanks
gait.with the darkskinkd son of Italy
in hi t persuit.
At the corner of Fifth avenue he
turned up toward the old court
a house with the Italian gaining on
a him, he recognized the fact that
1 he would have to use strategy or be
f overhauled eo he pulled the harp
out of its ease and threw the case
down on the sidewalk and kept
1 running, his ruse wonted like a
» charm, as the Italian thought he
; had dropped the harp, he ■ opped
running and picked up the case
* but the harp was missing, and so
’ was the koon.
He had not stopped to see what
the Italian would do when he had
■ found the harp case, “but jest kept
’ a ruunin,’’ and when the Italian
had recovered from his astonish-
I ment, the negro and the harp
■ were both ‘'out of sight.”

FOR EFFECT ON TOMORROWS
Democratic Primaries. Faanin Coun
ty Like \ 1 jkes was put in the Evans
Column too soon The Constitutional
Kicker
Quite a little excitement was
caused in this city yesterday af
ternoon by the Atlanta johrnal’s
announcement that Fannin had
gone for Atkinson by a small ma
jority,
It seems that, like Wilke’s, the
Atlanta Constitution, the most un
truthful and corrupt of Southern
News papers, had pulled the coun
ty too soon.
And today, the Constitution
comes out reeking in falsehood
and rank with its own partizan
ship and in«.ke’ cba’ges of the
gravest political crime against th>
brave democrats of old Fannin.
Charges, were they made by a
self-respecting democratic paper
that would swamp the deuiocrulit;
porter aud drive the ofd ship onto
the treacherous reefs of political
infamy and oblivion.
But, as au Evans man remarked
today alter reading the tirade
against Fannin democracy, “Now
is the time to watch the Constitu
tiou get in some of its dirtiest
work in some of the counties that
act today and tomorrow. ’
The Constitution stirred the
mud from the bottom and sought
to darken the Oconee waters ano
in its desperation to save its can
didate it will resort to any meant
that migut be employed by a po
litical thug or a treacherous polit
ioal cut throat.
Its ‘grand stand play is to saie
the day for its candidate tomorrow
We presume that if there are 165
Evans democrats in Fannin countj
and only 153 Atkinsou democrats
why the majority will be able to
take care of itself without the Con
stitution going ‘ raving distracted”
and pawing the eartii.
Os the counties that acted yes
terday, Mr. Atkinson captured
Glynn whi’e Echols went to Gen
Evans. Making the vote stand,
according to the Atlanta Journal
Atkinson 62 Evans 44.
The counties of Fulton, Macon,
Clark and Camden will act today,
and the prospects are that Mr, At
kinson will buys two with four
votes and the Atlanta candidate
two with eight votes.
Tomorrow will witness another
battle of the ballot aud Mr. Atkin
son will show up the many coun
ties that act in a true Atkiuaoniau
manner.
Mr James Cowan after a pleaseut
sojourn among friends and relatives
in East Tennesee returned to the
city yesterday bringing back with
him a charming little wife. His
friends in this citv, of which he h: s
many are today congratulating him
over his good fortune.
