people met at the fair grounds here to-
day TO listen to Hon. w. Y. Atkinson.
Maj. j. G.. G. Black and the inimitable
Ham. This was the biggest barbecue
ever seen in jefferson county before, as
over l25 carCasses were killed so there
was enough for all, notwithstanding the
Jeers of the disconnected third partyites.
Mr.. Atkinson spoke over two hours and
maze SplenOlQ speech. lie SAID Mr..
Hines refused to meet him in Joint debate.
He was sorry Hines declined for if he did
come once he would show him and his
record up in such a light that nothing
could drag him to attend another
meeting. Atkinson was enthusiastically
cheered as our next governor. Mai.
Black took the stand at 1915 o'clock
and said he came 10 give an account of
his stewardship, which he did so well
that he was cheered to the echo, and we
of the Tenth determined to send him
back, notwithstanding the vain boasts of
Watson, who says he is going to see that
Maj. Black is left at home this time.
Next came the Hon. Fl. w. J. Ham,
who kept the crowd in roars of laughter
He addressed himself to the negroes,
and showed them very plainly that
their best friends were the democrats,
and that the third party, notwithstand-
ing all their promises, would never be
able to do anything for them. There were
several small showers Of rain during the
speaking, but the crowd held their ground
manfully. 1t was big, good natured and
enthusiastic, and many who had been led
astray by third party promises saw the
errors of their way and determined to
come back
Mai. Black and Col Ham took the
evening train for Wadley, where they
speak tonight, and they speak at Millen
tomorrow.
