Why the Evans Men of Wilkes Feel
Sore Over Their Defeat.

Washington, Ga, May 2S.-The Evans
men are feeling particularly blue over his
defeat in Wilkes, because they feel that
ii might have been averted There were a
good many Evans supporters absent from
the county, and others, feeling sure of his
victory, did not trouble themselves to
vote. Atkinson's workers, on the other
hand, left no stone unturned to bring
out their full strength, and grave charges
of illegal voting are made against them.
1t is thought that the election might be
successfully contested, but there is already
so much bitterness of feeling
between the two sides that the idea
has been abandoned for the
sake of union. Without exception, the
populists favor the nomination of Atkin-
son, as they feel that Evans would draw
the support of the old soldier element in
their ranks.
Feeling ran high on the day of the pri-
mary, and there were several little diff
ference between prominent men, in which
walking sticks played an important part.
