How AtkinsOn's Heelers TraGuced
General Evans.

The latest campaign canard of
the Atkinsonites, demonstrates the
desperation to which they are
driven, is a charge promulgated
through tie columns of the Macon
Telegraph that the penitentiary
lessees have been the biggest contrib
utors to General Evans campaign
fund, and that the son Of one of the
lessees has been travelling through
the state in the distribution of the
fund. Further than this cowardly
intimation makes it appear that Gen
eral Evans is being advocated by the
Iessees on the ground that they can
control his Official conduct.
The canard of the Telegraph is
dealt with in the communications
published elsewhere, and it is note
worthy that Colonel w. E. Simmons,
whom the Telegraph's correspondent
by indirection seeks to present as the
author Of the charge, denied that he
was in any way responsible for it.
1t is not necessary to defend the
character of General Evans from
such malicious attacks. The people
know him, and as between General
Evans and those who seek to traduce
him through the columns of Mr..
Seifert's Telegraph, they will make
their choice"
All of this is clap-trap intended to
deceive, and it is a shameless effort
to besmirch the character of one of
Georgia's purest, must upright, hon
CRADLE men-a man who has shed his
blood on the field for Georgia and
who is now assailed by Georgians in
a manner such as to bring shame to
every person guilty of this unrea
able, unjust and miserable conduct.
Fortunately, in this instance, the as
sault is made by Mr.. Seifert's Macon
Telegraph. Mr.. Seifert was, until a
few years ago, a republican Office
holder in Macon.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton, June 3.

written letter, he would be stronger
in the state today 10y many thousands
Of votes. Let everybody come, es-
pecially those who are hating be-
tween two opinions.
VIII the honest farmers of the
country consent to vote for man
for governor who refused to vote for
the extension of the public school
system, for the bill to pension disa-
bled Confederate soldiers; who took
q thousand dollar fec from the state
contrary to law; who told falsehood
in order to disparage General Evans
in popular estimation, and who has
never done any public act from a
patriotic and disinterested motive?
VIII they?
Two Of the most violent oppo
nents Of General Evans are the
Macon Telegraph and the Griffin
Sun. One is run by a New York
yankee and the other by an Ohio
yankee. Is it expected that such
men would have any sympathy for
those who wore the gray? What
say the old rebel soldiers? What
say their sons? How will you cast
your vote on the 10Th of May? Will
YOU indorse the sentiment that hon
ors the old soldier or will you in
dorse those who wish to trample it
in the dust?
Much of the work done in the in
terest of Atkinson has been detesti-
BILE and damnable. And it may
make him governor, too. From
these rotten deeds that smell to
heaven he may reap the fruits of pre-
ferment and power, and enact the
poor miserable burlesque of repre-
senting 'the sovereign will of free
men," Sovereign will be hanged.
The sovereignty Of humbug and
fraud is now on top.-DahIonega

What Mrs. Julia Rowe Says About
Atkinson.

Editor DAILY PREss: I desire
through the columns OF your paper
to inform the people of this state OF
the disposition of the man, living in
this part of the state, who is so ear
nestly and anxiously soliciting their
votes for the greatest office OF their
gift, that of governor.
| mean the Hon. w. Y. Atkinson.
And l think a simple statement of a
transaction he had with nay husband
before his death, and the way he has
treated me and my children since
his death, will suffice.
MY husband died in August, 1890,
leaving me, with six children, the
Oldest only thirteen years of age, on
a plantation of 100 acres Of land,
which my husband had purchased
and paid for. After paying for the
land he (my husband) learned that
there was some imperfection in the
titles, and went to Mr.. Atkinson to
defend them, which he proposed to
do for one-third interest in the land.
OF this, however, l knew nothing
until after my husband died. Soon
after his death | went to Greenviile
to see the ordinary of the county,
who advised me to have appraisers
appointed and twelve months sup
port set apart for myself and chill
dren, which / did.
They included so acres of land in
the amount set apart, leaving Mr..
Atkinson 40 acres out.
Soon after this l was informed
that Mr.. Atkinson had all the land,
'I20 acres, advertised for sale. 1t
was sold to the highest bidder and
bought by him, he getting his
brother to bid it in for him for the
pitiful sum of $3.50; after which he
sent me word to have a guardian ap-
pointed for my children, and he
would pay over two thirds of the
above specified amount; at the same
time requesting me to move off the
/ place, which was advised not to
do, and didnot do until he sent his
overseer with all the plows he had
and sowed the entire place down in
oats.
Now, Mr.. Editor, am ignorant
of law and have but limited educa-
ton, but / have stated the above
facts the best | can, and now ask the

The Difference.

Tommie Watson, populist leader,
demagogue, agitator. etc, has stirred
up two pretty lively hornets, who have
been lately singing him through his
jacket. These are District Attorney
Joe James and Editor b. NJ, Blackb burn.
At the present stage Tommie has not
made much out of his attacks on these
democrats Enquirer Sun.
The difference between Editor
Blackburn and the Enquirer Sun
consists in the fact that Blackburn
stays sin the ring" when he
opens a fight, while the Enquirer Sun
opens the fight and then runs "out

Political Bias.

A letter from Mr.. Walden, o.
Glascock county, states that Judge
Reese recently appointed four jury
commissioners for that county, and
that each Of the appointees are dem
ocrats. This action, in a county
where four-fifths of the white voters
are populists and all the county
offices are filled with populists, seems
TO indicate political bias. The APP
pointing power will have to be
wrested from the Judiciary or the
judiciary raised beyond the power of
"the men who control"

1t has been decreed by the czar's gov
eminent that Siberia is too good for
convicts. and as soon as the new trans
siberian railway has penetrated its
gloomy depths it viii be turned into IA
paradise" for agricultural settlers and
mining sharps, while nihilists and other
refractory members Of Russian society
will in the future be accommodated o..
the island Of Sakhalin, off the coast of
Russian Manchuria. the eastern term
nus of the cars possessions, north o.
Japan.
So horrible and revolving TO civilized
nations is Sakbalin that tho car only
consented to its adoption as an open air
prison after the assassination Of Carnot
and the discovery of the recent plots
against his own life. The people and
the convlcts Of Siberia never peak of
the island other than tho hell CT SAX
hahn, and its climate is said to be so
much worse than that of Siberia as to
rob this appellation Of an exaggerated
character, ever i'll the mouths of these
lost ones.
Heretofore Sakhalin has been pressed
into service as an open air prison only
in the most extreme cases, where CAPT
tai punishment, by degrees, Of course,
was intended. Now that the exigencies
of the great empire of the north demand
the publication of Siberia all sentenced
to deportation are carried off into the
hellish wilderness without reference to
the length of sentence, the nature of the
crime or offenses they were accused of,
without reference to sex or former stat
US in society. The governor of Man
churia has reported that a human being
not born on the island cannot live more
than a year there. There is no means of
escape except in winter, when if a pris-
oner can manage to make his way 100
miles north form tho prison it is posi-
BILE to reach the mainland over the ice.
The ice bridge is guarded. Still two or
three prisoners have escaped by lodging
behind masses of snow and ice, or. what
is far more probable, by bribing Off
Gals.
At the present moment the most in
teresting c~olonist Of Sakhalin is Sophia
Bluhstein. She first achieved criminal
renown by pressing her attentions upon
the shah Of Persia during the latter's
visit to st. Petersburg. Sophia had
avowedly no intention Of adding his maj
esty to her list of admirers, but sought
his acquaintance merely for the purpose
of relieving him, il possible, of some Of
his diamonds. She was foiled in her ef-
forts, but succeeded in having her pri-
yate car attached TO the shah's special
train. For this piece Of enterprise she
was banished to Siberia for a year and
while there organized a band Of cut
throats and robbers, whose services she
controlled on the continent after their
terms had expired. She is said to be
the sharpest criminal living, and in
sending her to Sakhalin the Russian
government claims to have conferred a
lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes.
