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 . 11. W. J, Ham. COX KILLED TRAGIC END OF A NOTED KENTUCKY DESPERADO. Washington, June 9.--A special from Knoxville Tenn, says.-Pat Cox a noted outlaw of Southwest Virginia, was killed Wednesday night near Wise Court House while resisting arrest He had been the terror of the peo pie of Kentucky and Virginia for years and was identified with at least a doeen mnrders. a few weeks ago he killed one of his own cousins and fatally wounded another.

TO HjS FBUSD OF TBI SUM TV AND BARGAINS IT CONTAINS. 3B M 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.
