But if possible even the ''pushcrs" like to
go to the White House by invitation, and
hence Colonel Wilson, the presidents

Stuart Robson's Engagement.

Tomorrow night Stuart Robson will
open his engagement with the Comedy
Of Errors" Robson has condensed the play
from five acts into four, cutting out much
superhuous matter which could easily be
spared by the modern audience and
getting down to the story by quicker and
more direct means.
The play, even in its original form, was
one of the liveliest in action of any of
Shakespeare comedies; and it is now,
by the iudicious pruning of much that
was irrelevant, even more brisk and en-
tertaining than ever.
The droll mistakes, complications and
dramatic situations which result from the
extraordinary resem blances of twins fol
low each other in such rapid succession
as 10 make constant ripple of laughter.

what has probably never before been pos

The report of Receiver Sparks, OF the
Georgia Southern and Florida, shows that
the earnings of the road are steadily in
creasing. Expert William F. Hardee, of
Savannah, who went over Receiver
SPARKS books, found no fault with them.
OF Mr.. Hardee's report the Macon CORE
spondent of the Constitution says: Mr..
Hardee has filed report in the Office of
the clerk of the superior court in accord
ance with an order passed by Judge
Griggs, Feb. 10, requiring Hardee to
make and file a report of the examina-
ton made by him on Feb. and 3. 1894, of
the books Of the receiver. Expert Har-
dee's report makes fine exhibit for Re-
ceiver Sparks. Mr.. Hardee closes his re-
port by saying: Il was given every facil-
ity by MIR. Sparks and his employees for
obtaining the information desired As
far as my examination went found his
accounts correct and in good shape"

The People There Would Prefer Mr.
Blount or Col. Mercer as Governor.
Jesup, Ga, March 6.-Hon. W. Y. At
kinson, candidate for governor, addressed
q large crowd at the court house here to-
day. He was introduced by Hon J. W.
Bennett, who paid the Young Georgian
glowing tribute for his unfiinching fidelity
TO democracy and the faithfulness in
which he had carried out every public
trust reposed in him Col Atkinson
began by thanking the gentleman for
the complimentary remarks. He spoke
chiefly OF matters in the state in which
he had been prominent and what he had
done as chairman of the democratic com
mltJee and as a member of the general as
sem bly,, aGC of things his distinguished
opponent had not done. He said if he
was nominated for governor he would
carry the state by more than 10000 ma
Jorlty, and that the people in deciding
whom they wanted as their executive
should look to the qualifications
and experience OF the candi-
dates before them. 1t was not
an ambition of his merely to
hold Office, but it was his ambition to re-
IIeVe the people and restore peace. pros
perity and happiness. He had done much
more for the relief of the people of Geor-
gia in political matters than Gen. Evans,
DGL Gl4O EGuCIdl udu QOIlt III ACn towards
preparing man for the world to come, and
If they were to be rewarded for what had
been done let the general have his reward
IN the hereafter, anu give him
(Atkinson) his reward now and let
the hereafter take care of itself
The remainder Of his speech is similar
TO what the people read daily from him
BY request of Col Atkinson and some of
his friends the school was dismissed, in
order that all who desired could attend
the speaking. There were more than
fifty small children in attendance, all
well behaved, and they assisted in the
frequent applause The speech was well
received and good many speak more IA
vorably of the colonel than heretofore 1t
Is evident that a majority OF the audience
were Atkinson men. However, there are
other men who would suit the people OF
this section better, namely, Hon. j. II.
Blount, of Macon or Col. George A Mer-
Ger, of Savannah.
