ArK1NsoN's PLATFORM.
Hon. W. o. Glenn Objects to Its
Anti-administrati Declarations.

Hon. W. O. Glenn Objects to It's
Observation-Disclosures Declarations.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 2-The fight on Hon.
". Y. Atkinson, on account of his anti
administration platform, is beginning to
open up In the announcement of his
candidacy last Sunday, Mr.. Atkinson put
himself on the ground as opposed to the
policy of the administration, and from
day to day the local press has been de-
voting more or less space to him on this
account
Hon. W c. Glenn, VINO has taken a
part in the discussion. viii publish an
article tomorrow in which he says: THE
attitude of Hon w Y. Atkinson and Gen
Evans are distinguished by large differ
ences. Mr.. Atkinson evidently believes
that there are large elements not only Of
disaffection but of opposition to the ad-
ministration in this state, arising from a
number Of causes, some political and
some personal. In addition, he has num-
bers of personal and political friends, and
he hopes to succeed, with their aid, in
gathering up and focusing all these
elements In his own behalf, and thus TO
achieve success in his candidacy. The
tone and manner of his announcement is
characterized by that confidence and
aggressiveness which is one of his strong
distinct notice that he expects to carry the
war out on the line which he had chosen.
II occurs to me that Mr.. Atkinson hopes
for success, not by a criticism Of, but by
a distinct, direct and aggressive attack
upon the policy Of the Democratic party
as administered by its national opponents
without waiting TO see its results worked
out, and without even waiting to see it de-
veloped on all points. This appears to
me TO be the real spirit of his announce
ment. 1t is submitted that the time has
not yet arrived TO make this course either
proper or desirable, and perhaps never
may. except by those who are endeavor-
ing to produce and will be satisfied with
nothing less than a complete and final
breach with the authorized representa-
tiYes Of the national Democratic partY.n

A SCANDAL AT ALBANY.
The Fire Chief May Lose His Head.
A DeathlThe Defunct Newspaper.

a Death-The Defunct Newspaper.
Albany, Ca, Jan. 2-The new city
council of Albany began its labors last
night and one of their first steps was to
cut down the salaries of several officers
which they thought were too we'll paid
for the work incident to the Offices The
reports of the various departments show
the city to be in a splendid condition and
are quite fiattering
During its first session the new council
was confronted by a numerously signed
petition asking for the decapitation of the
city's present efficient fire chief, Thomas
e. James. The petition charged that Chief
James had recently brought to shame
q certain young girl and that the city
could not afford to countenance such con-
duct on the part of any of its officials,
however efficient they might be in the
discharge of the ordinary duties of their
Office. A committee was appointed to in
vestiRate the charges and if unfounded he
will be exonerated, otherwise he will be
discharged from the service of the city
The case is one with a decidedly sensa-
tional flavor and the result of the investi-
cation is looked for with keen enterest.
DEATH.
Mrs. Martha Price. wife of D. w
Price, died in this city last night after an
illness of a few hours, from a stroke of
paralysis. She was a noble Christian
woman and her death is sincerely
mourned by large circle of friends
The outfit of the defunct News and Ad-
vertiser was not sold to-day at sherif's
sale as advertised, owing to plea of IL
| LEGALITY having been filed by Editor F. O.
Pruett. DR. j. d, Turner, of Atlanta,
held mortgage for the purchase money
on the,plant and the estoppel of the sale
brings on an issue between him and Edi-
| tor Pruett. Five years ago the News and
Advertiser was valuable piece of prop
erty, being easily worth $40, 900 and bring
| ing in pretty income TO its owners and
| publishers. Bad management started it
on the down grade and caused it's failure
after more than quarter of century of
usefulness.

TILLMAN TO THE JUSTICES.
Those Who Fail to Enforce the Dispen.
sarv Law to Be Removed.


Columbia, S. c., Jan. Gov. Tillman
to-day issued circular to the trial JUS
tees informing them that it is their duty
TO enforce the dispensary law, and that
''those who do not act with promptness
and vigor and endeavor to enforce the
law, may as well send in their resigna-
tions, as no negligence or favoritism will be
tolerated.
Concerning the drawing of juries, he
says it is the duty of trial justices to see
that no names are put in the hat except
those OF men who viii find a verdict ac-
cording to the evidence and not perjure
themselves through prejudice against the
law
AS it is impossible for state constables
TO cover the entire territory, trial justices
are expected TO see that their constables
seize all contraband liquor and make ar
rests Of parties breaking the law, as pro-
vided by the act Every seizure thus
made must be reported to the state com
missioner, who will send a certificate for
the payment of a reasonable fee upon re-
porting the facts to the governor.
Special attention is directed to section
%, giving the right to examine suspicious
packages. Trial justices will, in every
case, arrest and proceed against express
agents, or other railroad employees, who
lay themselves liable under the pro
visions of the law. The right to search
without warrant applies only TO places
Of business or public places. In all places
where liquor is believed TO be in private
residence and is being sold search war
rants must be issued. Persons are not
allowed to buy in other states and bring
into this state any quantity greater than
a gallon. Searches must be confined to
depots, and no car will be entered TO make
a search unless under express orders of
the GOVERNOR

MRS. HALLS LIBEL SUIT.
The Claim Now Made That the Defend
ant Did Not Write the Article.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2.-The sensational
libel suit of Mrs. Selma Cole Hall against
E. F. Gould for So, 900 damages, which
was begun yesterday, struck spag this
morning, and was continued until the
22d inst.
1t was brought about by plea entered
by the defense, in which it was set up
that the libellous card complained of was
not written by the defendant, but
by his attorney without his knowledge or
consent. Upon this the prosecution plead
surprise and asked for further time. This
turn of the case adds another sensational
feature, as there is direct conflict in the
statement of Gould's attorney, Charles A.
Read, who claimed that his client knew
nothing of the libellous card.
City Editor j. X. Oil, of the paper
which published it, testified that he re-
ceived this card from Messrs. Reid and
Gould together, both having brought it
into the Office. The case promises to be
exceedingly spicy.

A WEARY SESSION AHEAD.
Congress in for a TiTeSOme Session Of
Many Months.

The Wilson Tariff Bill 60 Be Taken Up
Immediately in the House-Chair-
man Wilson May Be Unable to Begin
His Speech Before To-MorroY-The
Hawaiian Resolutions.
Washington, Jan. 2.-Congress will
come together again tomorrow after a
two weeks recess, prepared for strug
gle that is certain to last many weary
months. What has already been done is
insignificant in comparison with what re-
mains to be accomplished, and, in fact,
the few weeks of the session precedin g
the recess hardly suficed TO out
line distinctly the programme
of the leaders charged with
the responsibility in either house.
Probably the very weight of the task be-
fore them causes many Of the senators
and representatives to be slow in their
response to the demands Of duty and in re-
turning to Washington from their homes,
and it is expected that the attendance in
both houses will be small for day or two
at least
SENATORS TO TAKE IT EASY.
There is not the same necessity for ac-
tive exertiOn by the Senate as is the case
with the House, for the former body will
have ample time to dispose of the more
important matters on its calendar before
the tariff bill is received from the co-or-
dinate branch. Therefore the proceed
ings in the Senate, at least this week, are
not expected to be very important. Pro
baby an EFFORT will be made to begin
formally the consideration Of the House
bill TO repeal the federal election laws,
but in this case it is hardly likely that
the programme will progress beyond the
point of delivering few speeches, and.
about Thursday or Friday recess may
be taken until the following Monday.
OPENING OF THE TARIFF DEBATE.
The long anticipated debate on the
tariff bill is expected to begin in the
House tomorrow. Much, however, de-
ponds upon Mr.. Wilson, the chairman of
ways and means committee. Mr. Wilson
is exhausted with the unremitting labors
of the past few months, that some doubt
is expressed tonight if he will be physi-
cally able to speak on the measure before
Thursday. His speech is still uncom-
pleted, although he hopes 10 finish 1t be-
fore the beginning of tomorro
session. If the chairman finds
himself unable to address the House on
the tariff question Wednesday, the bill
tense This win occupy several hours, and
it is not improbable that when this shall
have been done, the Notifications bill.
which is now on the calendar, may be
taken up and occupy the remainder Of the
day.
THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTIONS.
There is some doubt as to the action of
the House on the resolution reported from
the foreign affairs committee indorsing
the action of the President regarding
Hawaii. If a quorum of democrats be
present Chairman McCreary may call up
his resolution after a few speeches
have been made on the tariff
bill, and rush it through the House
MIR. McCreary is hardly likely to
do this, however, unless there are a suffi-
Gent number of democrats in attendance
TO insure the passage of the resolution
No definite programme has been arranged
for tomorrow If Mr.. Wilson is ready
discussion of the tariff will be begun.
