Lets tho Cat out of Atlanta’s
Meal Tub
WANTS AN APPOPRIATION
Atlanta Wants §IOO 000 for a the
Exposition and Knows That Rill
Atkinson as Governor Would Veto
The Bill. Spicy Reading Matter.
Atlanta, Ga., June 4th.— Au
hour or two hero ou my way to
the West has given me an oppor
tunity to hear very many things,
for just now there is no end of
talk. And lots of it is awful sick
talk. too. And mad, they aie pip
ing, you can almost hear the aver
age Atlanta politician sizz as he
saunters up to the Kimball cooler
and pours copious draughts of ice
water down his arid throat. And
all because the people of the State
of Georgia persist in the notion
that they have a right to elect the
man of their choice governor with
out asking the aforesaid politi
cians for leave to do so. Every
week as the Atkinson list giow>
steadily longer and the Atlanta
candidate's chances for the nomi
nation grow smaller and smaller
and more beautifully less, they get
: madder and madder until I think,
when the ides of August shall ai -
rive and Atkinson is actually
I nominated, they will have to oi«
■ der out Cap Joiner and his fire
department and have him turn a
couple of streams of Chattahoo
chee aqua pura on them to pre
vent spontaneous combustion.
An Atlanta wholesale merchant
let a cat get out of the wallet the
other day when he confidentially ex
plained to a friend the argument
which Evans campaign commit
tee made to induce him te com*
down with a liberal subscription. He
says that he was told that if they
could elect Evans thay could elect
likewise a legislature favorable io At
lanta and her enterprises, and that
this winter they expected t« ask tho
legislature for an appropriation of a
hundred thousand dollars for the ex
position, but that if Atkinson was
elected even if such a bill were to pass
tbah his hostility to Atlanta was such
that he would vetoe it this is a very
large and able-bodied feline, and will
bear watching. The name of the
merchant and the man who made
the appeal can be had whenev, r
they are wanted. In this connection
I would suggest that they get their
lawver ready to prepare an opinion
on the constitutionality of such an
appropriation. Perhaps Tom Felder,
Tajßa Ra Cobb could be induced
to do it.
The folks ata distance would be
surprised to know how little inter
est the people in Atlanta, outside
the Constitution and a few politi
cians, are taking in the gover
( norship race of Atlanta’s candi-
I date. It is real heart rending how
’ little they seem to care about it
, Atlanta claims a population of a
I huud-ed thousand, and no doubt
I has about that number, and yet in
| the primary last Friday, with a lo
cal contest for the senatorship to
whoop up interest and bring out
the voce they could only poll it,
the neighborhood of two thousand
voles, and many ot these scratched
the Evans d legates from then
tickets Jas there whs no one
else to vote for. A hundied thou
sand population ought to stand for
twenty thousand votes, and ac
cording to. this, less than ten per
cent of the voters of Atlanta do
not care a straw whether General
Evans is elected or not. If there
should be the same apathy after
he is nominated, to admit for the
moment such a contingency , where
would he be, if he had to depepq
on Atlanta to elect him?
| The Constitution is fighting
with.lts abuse of Atkinson for the
last few days is raising him up
GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE
«>
friends all ovv the State. It is an
old saying that “whom the gads
would destroy they firstniake m*4’
So long as the Constitutian kept
its temper and contented itself
with juggling figures, and mildly'
misrepresenting him, the people
paid no attention to it, and when
it had to eat its words now and
then, and the other papers would
from day to day correct its false
figures they would smile and pass
on. But now that it has lost its
head and decended to the vilest
abuse of the man they cannot beat
tho people whose hearts are in the
right place, and who dearly love
fair play and streight from the
shoulder fighting, are simply dis
gusted, and it is helping Atkinson
and that sentiment is abroad right
here in Atlanta and condemnation
is loud and deep.
Old heads seem to be at a discount
in the management of Gen Evans’
r ampaign. It has been turned over
to little tom tit lawyers and thi mbit
rigging politicians, and it is no won
d*r that they have made a mess of it
Ge . Evans is a good man—honest’
simple and straightforward in his
dealings, and it is no secret here
that be is at times awfully discon
certed by some of the methods that
inaugurated in his behalf, and he
said confidentially not long since to
an intimate friend, I have it straight,
that he had been sadlp handicapped
in his race by the Conatitu.ion.
Honestly I am sorry for bin .

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Milt n the little two year old
son of-J. J. Mickle, had a narrow
escape from death by hanging,
yesterday. The little fellow was
playing on the front porch at his
nome in East Rome and fell be
tween the end of the top step and
a plank nailed to the edge of the
porch upon which flower pots were
arranged.
His body went through and hung
suspended by the neck until Mrs.
Mickle, wh > heard his stifled cries,
rescued b in from his perilous po
sition. His omy injuries were
* sore chin, a bruised head and a
badly frightened mother Mr.
Mickle said he always thought his
boy very smart but is now convinc
ed as the boys brains saved his
neck. His head whs too big to go
through the hole.

WILL PIFASID WITH TSE HILL FJTY-
Geohgia, June 9, ’94.
My Dear Jasper;—l know tlwi yuxi
are a gentleman and a scholar bui
that is no sign that you know it all.
.dost of niv life as know, has
been spen like the Hon Terill Speed
has spent his; viz. trapping beavers,
and tracking rabbits and fetching!
down the oppossom, but I can tell
you lots you dont know. In oth
er words you have book sense and
mine is common sense. Now dont
get mad, 1 am only after telling the
truth. But laying all joking on the
shelf for awhile, 1 want to tell you
something about my tnn to Rome.
Why it is a wonderful place. It
would be as big as New York if it
had as many houses and inhabitants
Indeed it loookslike I imagine an
cient Rome looked in tiae midst Os
all her glory. But here lam di
gressing again Well, I went to
Rome on business and I accomplish
ed wuat I went for, rest assured.
Upon reaching her gates I entered,
and soon learned that Thos. Faby’a
store at 248 Broad St. was the place
for me to make my pmchising head*
quarters. 1 aoon found the place
and was introduced through the va
rious departments by Mr. Hender
son who spared no pains to make ma
fully conversant with all the bargain
facts. In his department I purchas
ed many big bargains in dress goods
trimmings, silks and the like and I
never was “more better pleased” 1
as old Penquites Jaret would say.
Then Mr. Alexander sol i me some
fine values from the domestic depait
meiit, in the way of sheeting, shirt
ing. checks jeans, ginghams, and the
beauty about all of Fahy’s goods is
they are fresh and new. No old
stock thrown upon the market. Next
Mi. 1 oulton showed me very grace
fully through bis department and
sold me many notions at prices never
before known. Fahys is certainly
the place for hosiery, gloves, fans,
ties, belts and the like. Next in or
der came the white goods and lace
department presided over by Mr,
Malone who always pleases the trade
by bis courtesy and gentlemanly
billing, from this department many
purchases were made and the girls
are delighted with all 1 bought. Be
fore leaving I elevated myself and
went through Fahy's extensive car
pet, mattiny and lace curtain rooms,
and struck a genuine bargain, espec
ially in mattings. My! My! Eaby’s
surely is the place for folks to deal
if they want the best at the me st
reasonable prices.
Jasper be sure to visit him when,
you go to Rome next week.
You see I told you 1 could enlight
en you if you are a college M A.
Good bye. Love to your wif» *ad
the children
Yours in True Blue,
. Moses Youknow.
