OUTLOOK TH RE ATENING,
COMMERCE AT A STAND STILL, WHICH
MEANS BUSINESS STAGNATION.
DEBS’ GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE
THE WORST EVER KNOWN .
Chicago, July s—The sun went
down on by far the most turbulent
and critical day thus far in the
unparalleled railroad strike and
boycott.
When it opened there was a
genera' feeling that its passage
would go far toward clearing the
atmosphere if, indeed it did not
practically lift the embargo on
commerce which has held this city
in its grip for the past week, lhat
expectation was chiefly based on
the presence of federal troeps in
the most dangerous districts
Looking at the situation at the
, close of the day, however, it must
. he confessed that the hope indulg
ed at the opening in this regard
has not been justified. Ihe troops
were few in Humbert fit best, ano
when they were divided into squads
and distributed at points separat
ed by very considerable distances,
it soon became evident that their
prestige as overawing bodies had
been dissipated at the same time.
Insieed of (being in fear before
the faces of the veterans, as was
expected they would, the turbulent
thousands surged about the little
band of soldiers, jeering and hoot
ing at them, casting vile epithets
1 at them and literally playing hide
tujd seek with them, stopping
trains at will and generally ren
dering the embargo in the milita
■ ry district more effective, it possi
ble, than before.
The throng of striKers did not
not resist Uncle Sam’s police
( again and again, when there were
thousands of th°m about a
train while it sought to move, and
on the track in front of it they
gave way like water before the lev
ed bayonets of a single company oi
infantry or trampling of a single
squad of cavalry.
THE DERAILED CARS.
Like water, too, they closed in a
gain at a point just beyond. They
turned sw itches, derailed freight cars
in front of the slow moving train and
played all sorts of railroader’s tricks,
with which the soldiers were unac
quainted. Thus it was that the troops
at the stock yards, with perseverance
and patience, spent the entire day in
a vain endeavor tojget one train load
of dressed beef out of sight of the
starting point.
Anoiheer and pleasant thing this
experience showed was the admirable
coolness, self-poise and, discipline of
the troops through-out an exaspt r i
ting twelve hours. Not a shot was fir
ed : not a man was pricked by a hay
onet, which argues that with fore
enough,the soldiers would have done
the work which was expected of them
The quality was there merely quanti
ty was lacking
Aside from the immediate neigh
borhood, where the troops were op
erating,there was plenty of excitemon
and disorder. Great mobs gathered
on the Lake Shore,Rock Island, Alton
and Western Indiana tracks and pro
ceeded to obstruct them by overturn
ing box cars, breaking switches and
the like, At one point they set fire
to a switch tower and interlocking
switch box, though the flames were
extinguished before serious damage
was done.
A LITTLE BLOOD SHED.
In two instances there was blood
shed. On the Western Indiana
tracks a hard pressed special police
man fired at his pursuers, wounding
a striker in the leg On the Lake
Shore road an official of that company
in charge of a train that he was en
deavering to force through, emptied
his revolver point blank into the
massed strikers about him, He was
saved from the fury of the mob by
his engineer, who put on steam and
ran back to rhe point of starting.
Shortly afternoon a mob num
bering 200 started north on the

FOR WOMEN FOLK*.
MISS ELLEN DORTCH WRITES
OF MRS W. Y. ATKINSON.
Editor Ellen Dortch, of Milledge
ville Moon, thus pays her gracious
t’ibutc to the feimirne inflame in
this campaign:
Down in Newnan, in the cosy little
home of Georgia’s next governor, a
brave and g’fted woman |has been
wui king since last January for tne sjc
cesa of her brainy young huebond in
the gubernatorial contest..
AVe remember a message that
came to us early in last January from
this grand little woman— ’Mr. At
kinson is a loyal Democrat; he has
alwavs responded to the call of the
party. Gen. Evans has no qualifica
tions for governor that Mr .Atkinson
does not possess.’AA ith the argu
u int that her husband possessed all
the qualifications for making a good
governor, that lie had iought the par
ty’s battles and should be given its
honors. Mrs, zVtl’nson laid her can
didate’s case before “the men who
control” in every quarter of Geor
gia. Her gentle influence has been
fe t in every city, town and hamiet in
otrr great State.
Let us no longer disown woman s
sweet and conciliating influence i n
polities.
Mrs Atkinson has never been a
progressive woman, along the line
of the woman’s rights woman. She
is one of the women who have
clamored for no higher or holier
right than to be a grand wi f e and
mother. While she has been in
every way a beautiful inspiration
to her hueband, tak’ng an active
ai d devoted interest in all hisam
bition, she cannot be said to be
“up” in politics But with an in
stinct born of love, this retiring
woman took the reins of her bus
band’s campaign and id. her own
uneering and womanly way di
rected a fight that led to the moat
brilliant political victory won in
Georgia since tho war.
AV hatever the opposing forces
may have said of Mr, Atkinson du
ring the white heat of the cam
paign they have only words ol
commendation for his gentle com
rade and helpmate whose loyal
and devotea work has been the ad
m ration of the State. Into hei
gentle hands they have gallantly
surrendered the palms of victory,
pledging loyal allegiance to the
little lady to whose jinfluence
more than to any other force, t hey
trace their political defeat.
Women have made the best ru
lers the world has ever known.
‘ Their delicalehands have held the
sceptre of power and swayed tbt
destiny of empires and kingdoms
w ith ability and prudence unsur
passed by tne sterner sex, But i’
is such an unusual thing here in
Georgia for a woman s gracious
and uplifting influence to be felt
in our hard fought battles that
those who have been surprised and
chagrined at|Mr.,Atkinsou’ e politi
cal victory, have been looking
away from the wife and mother in
the little home in Newnan, who
has been burning the midnight oil
for the past five mouths in her
beautiful effort to crown her bus
band with the highest political
honors that Georgia can give, to
find in rings and combines the se
cret to Atkinson’s victory.
BROTHER’S BLUNDER.
There is no one who can bully,
sit down upon, and otherwise mal
treat the average man of the world
with the same effect and impunity
as his sister, more especially if she
happens to be married . It is tak
ing a mean advantage of a defense
less man, but she will do it.
The other afternoon there was
a young man about town who in
discreetly went around with his
sister to call on a mutual friend.
During the visit it happened that
the young fellow’s best girl pro
tern, and several other girls drop
ped in, and it being the height, of
the smallpox scarce, vaccinations
were, of course, casually mention
ed, and bhflt girl pro tern, admitted
that she had recently been vacci
nated, too. Then the young man
remarked tha; he was so sorry 2,t0
hear it, as it probably would pre
vent her wearing full evening dress I
when they went to the charity ball
th i t week.
The best girl said that she ah mb
— or —wel’ —a —that was she hoped
il w< uld not, and the young man
innocently remarked that he was
glad of that, as he thought she was
prettier that way, and then the
rest of the girls made something
of an effort and changed the sub
ject, and the young man saw from
the far away look in Lis Bister’s
eye that he was in for it when they
got outside, ne braced up as suoii
■ s they reached the street and
meeting his fate like a man in
quired: “Well, what is it now?’’
“Why, you uuuttc'rabie idiot,”
was the response, “we don’t ge’t
vaccinated on the arm any longer.
That’s ail.”
Let it be banded down to history
that one of the greatest sr viving
eadeas of the Confedercy—a patriot
nd soldier and pteacoers, eiainless
md beloved of Georgians—owes nie
oefeat for the only office be ever
iskedot Georgi < - ciiieflv to the work
ifa woman.
The chivalrous mer of the State in
leference to Georgia’s peerless daugh
er will roll up a great Democratic
majority for the husband of Mrs. AA.
Y. Atkinson.
Mrs. Atkinson is particularly fifed
o bo tne counsellor of the man who
is to guard the distiiies of the State.
When she goes with her gentle tread
icrcss the porch of Georgia’s execu
ive mansion she wi’l ca i; a sweet
md gracious urenca that wil.
make her the first. lady in the heart s
if the people, as well us the first lady
i Georgia, and in her own gentle
>'uy wi'-l pass in end out tn the white
ight that is focused on the governor ’’
iioHia winning love and support for
die man whose right hand she has
oecn i’ r” “he ambition of- s ’’fe.

was better to make many men happy
