A word About the Atkinson
Evans Contest
POLK BELONGS TO ATKINSON.
“Etna ’ and ••Buncomb” do the Grand
act for the Atlanta Constitution's
Candidate, But the ‘Act ’ dill al th
Proper Time, he repealed.
The follow ing from the Cedartown
Standard will give Romans the “in
side ’ facts of the Polk county guber
natorial contest;
The agony is over in Polk so far
as the primary is concerned, and
the result is still involved in
doub',
The executive committee, which
held a meeting Monday and run
ning over till Tuesday afternoon,
settled the contest by a comprom
ise measure Two delegations
will hold certificates contesting
the right to cast the vote of Polk
county in the State convention.
So Polk goes to neither candi
date, but is sidetracted to the col-
umn of contested counties.
There was a .ight vote polled all
over the county, many Democrats
manfesting very little interest in
in the election. Knowing that
either candidate would make a
good Governor when elected, and
it being a busy time with farmeres
everywhere, only 401 votes were
polled.
The polls were not opened in
Browning's district, and B->un
omba district did not .open till
after eleven o’clock: The vote
was light in the precincts that did
hold an election.
All interest was centered in the
Governor’s race, and Cedartown
was tuc focal point of all eyes This
precinct polled 220 votes, Atkinson
receiving 131 and Evans 88. The
handsome majority of 43 at the Ce
dartown precinct, was expected by his
friends, and the Atkinson men every
where are gratified at the shoing his
friends made for the statesman from
C oweta.
The cause of the contest was the
action of Gen. Evans’ friends in
Prior’s district where me a of all pol
i calpersausion and color weie voted.
xi was alleged that the primary was li
legally held away from the o'd voting
piecinct, and that it was manifestly
unfair and undemocratic to allow col
ored voters to cast their ballots in
Prior's district when they were ex
cluded from voting at the Cedartown
precinct. It is charged that the
chairman and two executive commit
teemen from that district on the Polk
County Republican Executive Board
voted for Gen. Evans, and the At
* Hinson men made a vigorous kick at
such methods in a party primary.
1 They held that if the colored vote
’ .vus accepted at one precinct, they
! should have been at all precincts—
i the rule governing snch voters should
I ipply alike to all districts and to be
uniform and universal in its opera
, tions.
I The differences among Democrats
' were settled at the of the
' Executive Committee, am! that
iction proved to be a compromise
neasure, the county going to reitee r
candidate but was placed in the con
ested column. Charges cf illegal vo
mg and irregularities were mtub in
-very district in the county but two,
md tiie whole matter was referred
vithout investi. ation, t< the creden
i.lie committee of the State Co.en
vention which meets in Atlanta the
Jud of August.
This action of the County Com
mit'ea should be accepted now by
ail Democrats, the agreement hav
iug been reached as a compromise <
measure in the interest of party i
harmony. <

ATKINSON IN THOMASVILLE.

LARGE AUDIENCE .
Thomasville, June 7. — Mr, At

and representative audience. He
created a profound impression up
’ on his hearers, many of whom
bad never seen him. His address
was frequently interrupted by en
thusiastic applause and In his ex
planation of his position od na
tional questions he particularly
caught the crowd. He said he wra
a silver Democrat on the Chicago
platform, but 'hanked God that
he was not an Atlanta Constitution
Democrat. This was greeted with
the wildest enthusiasm.
His speech today made him

A COAL TRAIN BURNED
IT RAN INTO A BURNING TRESTLE AND
WENT DOWN.
AVashington, June 7.—A special
from Birmingham, Ala , says that
early this morning the west-bound
Georgia Pacific coal train ran into a
burning trestle at Patton. Tne en
gine and eight cars pitched into the
ravine below and were I urned. The
railroad men barely etciped by
jumping. The following injuries are
reportrd: Engineer Goodman, ankle
broken and internal injuries. Fire
man Charles Berry, badly cut on the
head Brakemen Joe Mobrey and Joe
Scott, arms broken.
It is Ihought that the trestle we s
set on fire to reck the train because
of carrying soab coal, but it has not
been so proven.
BOYS HAVE FUN.
large crowd faked on market street.
Three small boys had a barrel of
fun this morning at the armory of
Company Eon Market street, two
>f them painted their faces red,while
one of them discharged a gun. 1 lie
two painted lads shrieked madly, one
of them rushing to the window and
lisplaying his apparently bloody face
Immediately a great throng gathered
iboutthe building in the supposition
that there had been a serious acci
dent. They got the laugh from the
boys, who enjoyed the joke hugely.
It may cost the boys something Low',

Woman.
Washington, June 8, —Colonel
Breckinridge is to be pulled out
es the congressional race in-’Ken
tucky if the family beaming that
-iame can do it. Cabell/ B-Jteclsju
ridge, a son of the Confederate esc
retary of war, Gen, John C. Bteck
inridge, left his home fcrNftw* Or
leans to unite with other members
of the family in fon:’i»g;the colo
nel into retirement.
Cabell visited Kentucky - ’ first
and then came to Washington - " to
consult widi friends hero.- H 8 is
said to hold that the colonel 4 is
crazy, or at least crazy enough to
need some sort of restraint and
guidance. The members of the
family are in constant dread (hat
h colonel, it left. unrestrained,
will still further outrage public
decency, and bring disgrace upoc
their name,
It is said they have learned of-au
alleged incident of recent occur
rence which increases this appre
hension. A handsome lady, finely
dressed, was admiring a painting
displayed in the window ot &
Washington establishment. Col
Breckinridge is said to have 1 ad
vanced to the window and to have
broken forth in rapturous eulogy
of the painting.
It is alleged that suddenly turn
ii g to the lady, he begged pardon,
saying he had been so carried
away with the lovely painting
that he was not conciows of speak
ing aloud. “But madam,” he-i&
alleged to have added, “you are
ten fold more beautiful than the
picture,”
The lady hurried away, but the
incident is said to have reached
the ears of friends of the Breckin
ridge family. They are said to be
determined to get the colonel out
of the race, if posible, and into
some sort of retirement that will
take him out of the public mind.
For the sake of the. family, it is
said, they want him to seek such
obscurity as will cause ths public
to forget him and the scandie he
has created.
It is said that the friends of Mr
Owens, the rival ot Col, Breckin
ridge, will be approached with a
proposal to withdraw both men
and unite upon a candidate foi
congress who can command the
support cf all the democrats of
the district.
