tor REPRESENTATIVE Turner that was counted
for Judge Atkinson sure before he delivered
hi. now famous curse. In this way and
nv nnblic utterances the people showed their
dissnproval of Judge Atkinsons methods in
making such an attack. Mr.. McCook says
IL wss nnwarranted. Some of Judge At

only cursed Mr., McCook's conscience. But
ills stated by parties present at the meet

during his curse 'that he hoped McCook
you'd suffer such remorse that the fires of
hall and damnation would prove a garden

minds Of the greater majority of the
people is being condemned. When
the polls closed and Representative
Turner's immense majority was made
known a tremendous crowd in waiting
went wild. Indescribable pandemonium
reigned. Editor McCook was near by and
rush was made for him. Old lnen Rugged
him, while young men grasped his hand
and rainei congratulations upon him. Such
scsne was never witnessed before, and
those who had gloried in Judge Atkinson's
curse on Mr. McCook walked away crest
fallen to know that the best element of the
paople were down on Judge Atkinson's re-
marks. Judge Atkinson's political doom is
sealed, for the people have said that curses
given from the stump will not be tolerated.

LIVELY MEETING IN MORGAN.
MADISON, GA, May 14.-The most ex-
citing political meeting occurred here to-
day which Madison has seenIip many years.
DR.. Walker Of McDutfie met Capt. W. B.
Burnett of Athens in joint debate at the
court house. Capt. Burnett spoke an hour.
He went for the third party and its leaders
with gloves off. He made rousing demo-
cratic speech. DIR. Walker followe in a
talk of thirty minutes, 10 which
be argued that the third party
is the true democratic party, CURSED
the true democrats and appealed to the
negroes. After his speech loud calls were
made for Capt. Burnett and the third
party men called for J. L. Chupp, who was
present. Chaos and confusion prevailed
and excitement ran high. The meeting
broke up unceremoniously with much
feeling on both sides. The third party
people met afterward and organized,
eectlng chairman, secretary and exeou-
tive committee. Eighty>four men were
present, including democrats, third party
men and negroes. 1t is safe to say that
Morgan will remain democratic.
