TUESDAY EVENING JUNE 5. 1894. i Mffi K. Stirs up a Hornets Nest in Chattanooga. WHIPPED A CONVICT With liis Head Downward, AfterDk* locating his Arm. (IfflciaisMako Excuse for the Brutality. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 4 The Evening Press publishes a story of shocking cruelty by the workhouse foreman, William Lisie toward a prisoner. It is alleged that the guard struck Jeters, who is a negro, with a heavy stick dislocating his left arm. The prisoner was driving a dirt wagon near the Citizen?’ o«*u etery. where the force is at work on the street. He jumped out when struck and ran, but Lisle caught him and tied him to a tree head down, and in that position, with his feet up ward, beat him in the face. The affair occured Saturday, but the convict was put to work today with bis one arm. A big sensation has been created by the publication, and an investiga tion will be made. The workhouse authorities deny that the negro was severely injured, as does the county pl ysiciun, and offer in justification that he was very refractory and quail reisome. Several persons saw the occurrence, which jwas on a public street. WILL CLOSE AT 6 P. M AS IN OTHER SUMMER SEASONS .

Sparta, Junos.—Everybody here accepts the result of the primary gracefully. There was no foreign interference, no Atlanta boodie, and the result is accepted in the proper spirit. But it was a battle royal. Such men as Sid Lewis, Robert H. Lewis. Capt. Baxter, A. J. Smith, J. M. Jones, Frank White James Harley and S. B. Simmons gave moral strength to the Atkin son side. The country people rallied to At kinson because of his werk in 1892. They say ours is a party, an organi zation, and - Atkinson is a partyman, wn organizer, a worker, and is enti tled to the office. Every body regrets the ugly atti_ tude of the Constitution towards At kinson, but thinksit has overdone the -abuse act” to such extent as to rebound in Atkinson’s favor. Bob Lewis, the leader of the At kinson forces in Hancock, while get ting a majority of the Democratic votes of the last legislature, was de- as was Boykin W right, lor the office of solicitor general. ’ Atkinson voted against .Lewis and Lewis is under no obligation to him at all. I asked him why he now took such an active interest for Al kinson, His reply was characteristic of “Bob Lewis Well, 1 ’ said he, “I hate to see a man get mad with another because he voted for the other fellow. Boykin Wright and Judge M irtin do wrong to nurse tb« ir griei into hate of Atkinson, lhey identified themselves with Fleming for solicitcrship and ought not to have expected Atkinson’s vote I take a patriotic and party view of my present duty. I think it best for the party to have Bill Alki nson as its standard bearer. The party will make a party blunder if ‘it defeats him He is no mugwump; he is a par ty oiganizer and a party leader, the very man needed now in this crisis 4four p.ity affairs.”
