THE HUSTLER OF ROME. ■rtJiRD YEAR. 1J» for ' Young Statesman tHE aSmTre’ WBITO w . !t » 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 McDonald-Spai ks-Steward Company.

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.” t Rev.

Whitehall Kfc GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE. GRWD STAND PLAY Being Made by The Morning “Sore-Head.” 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.
