WRIGHT SPEAKS At BRUNSWICK
His speech FdlIed with Exploded
Charges Against Atkinson.

His Speech RULED with Exploded
Charges Against Atkinson.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 29.-Seaborn
Wright, popullst candidate for governor.
addressed about six hundred people here
to-day in the open air. and held the un-
divided attention of all regardless OF po-
litical faith His voice was in excellent
condition, and his address was one run
ming stream of fiery eloquence, pleading
for the cause he advocates and denuncia-
lions of the democratic party, although
ne styled the denunciations merely
wholesome truths"
MT. Wright was introduced by Citizen
H. w. Reed of the national executive
committee, and 1t did not take him long
to get down to business Striking his
characteristic attitude of hands and eyes
uplifted he assured his hearers of mis-
faith in the platform he was on, and then
launched off into charges upon top of
charges against the democratic party Of
fce-seekers and ward heelers.
Turning his attention to Gov. Atkin-
sons candidacy, he stated that a person
al campaign had been aimed at himself
by the governor, and he would return III
like manner He charged him with in
jecting three new features into the cam
paign, one the pardon of Hinton, one the
penitentiary pardons, and the other the
convict lease system to catch the negro
vote. He repeated the Hinton charges
as made previously at other places in de,
tail, and offered to produce court records
to prove that a democratic judge, solic-
itor general and jury had promised par
don to white man who was a self-con-
victed murderer. If he would turn states
evidence against populists, and through
Gov. Atkinson, had carried out their
pledges.
He charged that proof had been offered
where convict bosses had beaten negroes
insensible. then threw them on their backs
and poured water into their mouths I'M
til the blood rushed from their ears; also
that the governor was pardoning negro
convicts who Immediately became politi-
cal workers for him in the back rooms
of saloons, and only recently had restored
citizenship to many who would become
his workers. These statements were di-
rected to the colored voters present as an
answer to Gov Atkinson's appeals to
them for their suffrage, and in support of
his statements he claimed that the At
lanta CONSTITUTIONS files could be used to
advantage.
The fact that all these charges had been
exploded by the democratic executive
committee and press was known 10 the
majority of the white voters present and
carried little weight, but it's effect on the
negroes who knew little of their having
been answered was evidently as intended
by the speaker. Mr.. Wright endeavored
by all the manners of an earnest delivery
to convice them Of his sincerity.
The charges made to-day will be answer
ed here fully by the democratic speakers
before the campaign ends. and the voters
Of Glynn will be fully enlightened regard
ing them.

ing his vote. and it is further stated
that they went of together and talked
several minutes before the cutting. and
that the cutting was done with a knife
that belonged TO Ike Weldon. Further
more. it is claimed by witness to the
tragedy. that he showed his malice to-
ward sam Hodge by daring him to chal-
lenge his vote when ne went TO deposit

neighbors, and is something Of an attor-
ney In the district court. and he handled

waycross. Ga, Aug. 29-Wiu johnson,
a negro, supposed to be a fugitive from
the law in Florida, beat his way to Way
cross last night on a Plant system train.
He was discovered at Folkston and shut

of giving johnson over to the officers
johnson rushed like an Infatuated bull
against the conductor, pushing him off the
platform and landing him against a truck
in the express office, injuring Sullivan 5
arm and body. The negro was caught by
Baggage Agent Hall, but escaped under
the train and was dragged out by several
persons. He fought like mad. He ran into
Chief Cason's arms, knocking him about
twenty feet and bruising his leg. From five
to eight men were engaged in the scram-
BILE with the negro, and, it is said, that
johnson tossed them about like they were
Liliputians. Clubs. fists and sticks were

A MARVELLOUS CURE-READ.

MARVELLOUS CURE-READ.
suwanee Springs Company. suwanee.
Fla Gentlemen I know that you re-
ceive numerous testimonials, having read
several originals myself while at the
springs, but as I promised. 1 wish 10 ex-
press my gratitude for the beneft Suwa-
nee SpringsWater has done my little child
I am fairly well known in Savannah. and
invite inquiry from any one who may be
skeptical in regard TO this As you re-
member, l carried my little one when
about six months old on a pillow TO Su-
vance. She had been suffering with Ec-
zema from infancy and, at the time al
most her entire body was a. mass Of erup-
ton from that annoying and intolerable
disease, Eczema. I tried Suwanee as a
last resort, with very little faith in II
then, as she had been treated by phvsi-
clans here from her birth without success.
After remaining there from three TO four
weeks the result was wonderful and ev-
cry sign of the disease disappeared, leav-
ing her skin and complexion as fair and
sort "a any infants 1 have refrained
from giving this testimonial up to this
time, as / desired 10 wait and watch the
result, so I could know If the cure was
permanent and now. after about two
years since her visit, can truthfully say
she has never had the slightest return Of
the disease. Use this letter as YOU see
mt and l only hope it may be the means
of relieving some other sufferer, as am
sure If they go to the springs or drink the
water at home 1t will positively cure them
I took my little one to the springs because
at that time the water was not bottled
for the market, and 1 am very glad 10
know, therefore. that it is now for sale
generally, as I am confident IL will prove
a wonderful benefactor to mankind

Waycross. Ca. Aug. 2s.-The reference
to the military men in the report Of Hon.
seaborn wrights speech in this morning
News caused great surprise in Waycross.
The notice was erratic and did great in
justice to the local military. No votes
were promised to Wright by the military
men: NEITHER did they criticise Gov. IA
kinson.
The correspondent was talking to Mr..
Wright when three military men were in
troduced. One Of them asked Mr.. Wright
If he favored a military APPROPRIATION and
Mr.. Wright said he did not Mr.. Wright
was told that forty-five military men Of
Waycross we're more interested in the mil
itary appropriation than some other po-
htical matters.
The correspondent inferred that the mil
itary men present composed a committee
from the local military to wait upon Mr..
Wright for his views on a military ap-
preparation, and his purpose should he
be elected governor. This was wrong, as
the men were talking as individuals and
not as a committee.
