The Walton News is aj great be liever in the ability of Hon. W. Y Atkinson to “do up” Judge Hines. It suggests: After the gubernatorial con ven tion we lock for Hon. William Y Atkinson to invite candidate Hines tto engage in joint debate, If the challenge should be ma|e and ac cepted we would see some old-time political exci ten-lent.
