Atkinson showed Under.

BRUNSWICK, May 1.-THE election
for delegates to the nominating conven-
ton resulted in majority of 24U for
Turner. Eight hundred and nine votes
were polled The polling of this vote
was complete vindication of Glynn's
executive committees action, and.places
the stamp of public condemnation on
Atkinson's attempt to ride into congress
on the back of the Farmers Alliance.
Atkinson's denunciation of Editor Nc
Cook last night excited the indigna-
ton of Brunswickaus, and to-day as
Editor Mclook stood near the polls the
people pressed around him, telling of
their friendship for him and their sur
prise that Atkinson should make such
remarks. 1t was an ovation for, Editor
McCook
McCook, in an editorial today, scored
Atkinson severely, saying he was ran
ter bent if possible upon carrying the
Eleventh districtinto third partyism. In
the editorial McCook says:
'Shall such man be endorsed by the
democracy of Glynn? Shall Glynns
democracy start with him upon the
road of third partyism, and shall his
abuse of good and true citizens be en-
dorsed? Shall his eager and selfish am
bition receive Democratic approval to-
dave Gbo1l +I,o ,,urooc1,,,L IL - -, =, 49,, 4
this freshly developed demagogue be en-
dorsed by Glynn's unserrified Democra-
cy? Shall man who calls down upon
another the wrath of high heaven and
who prays for him hell on earth and
hereafter be the man upon whom Glynn
county fixes its choice? Never.
The Judge will find the friends of his
youth today voting against him. Almost
every day since the campaign commenc-
ed those who had heretofore been his
friends, who had even promised to sup
port him for time, have found that
they could follow HIM no further and
have left him."
This extract from an editorial of a
column length, and Atl1insons abuse of
McCook, caused Atkinson's friends to
drop him by the score, and today vote af-
ter vote fluttered into the balIos box for
Turner that was counted for Atkinson
SIRE.
Before he delivered his now famous
curse in this way and by pubic utteran-
ceS, the people showed their dis approx
al OF Atkinson's methods in making
such at attack. McCook says it was I'M
warranted and some of Atkinsons
friends claim that Atkinson only
cursed McCooks conscience, but it is
stated by arties present at the meeting
that Atkinson said last night during his
curse, that he hoped McCook would
suffer such remorse that the fires of hell
and damnation would prove a Garden of
Eden compared with it, But McCook
is vinicated, and Atkinson, in the mi nd
OF the greater majority of the people, is
being condemned When the polls clos
ed and Turnerss immense m tjority was
made known the tremendous crowd in
waiting went wild. Indescribable pande-
monium reigned Edito~ McCook was
near by, and rush was made for him.
Old men Rugged him while young men
grasped his hand and rained congratula-
tons upon him. Such scene was never
witnessed before, and those who had
glOried in Atkinson's curse on McCook
walked away crestfallen to know that
the best element of the people were down
on Atkinson's remarks.
Atkinson's political doom is sealed,
for the people have said that curses CIV
en- from the stump will not be tolerated.
