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. < GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MAD* THE VOTE BY PRECINCTS Prior’s, Atkinson 0 Evans 50 Cedartown, “ 131 “ 88 Esom Hill, “16 “ 6 Young’s “ 12 “7 Blooming Grove “ 2 “ 8 Fish, “ 12 “ 12 Rockmart “ 20 “ 31 Buncombe, "0 “6 Totals, - - 193 20g Evans on face of returns 15.

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.

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', ever, for their tun, as it is under stood that Policeman Kessler was after them.-— Chattanooga News.

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.
