day TO a large audience, and found much
enthusiasm among his friends there. He
comes through Savannah on his way to
bingham county, where he viii go this
morning, and will speak both at Guyton
and at Springfield. Tonight ne will leave
bingham for Augusta, and will speak
there tomorrow.
Judge Atkinson was seen on his arrival
by a representative Of the Morning News.
When asked if he had made any arrange
meuts to speak in Savannah he replied
that he had not. He said ne did not know
what views his friends here have with re-
gard to the matter, but he might arrange
to speak here when he heard from them.
How do you find things generally over
the state?" he was asked.
Everything is in as good shape as de-
sire it," was his reply. Il have been
through the greater portion of the southern
part of the state within the last few days.
and lind much enthusiasm among my
friends They feel that there is no doubt
about the result. I had a good crowd at
Darien, and have had most gratifying re
suits wherever I have been"
"What is there new in connection with
the racer" was asked
Nothing particular that I know. Of"
was the reply. Every now and then some
body comes out with a new story about
our venerable friend, but I have paid little
attention TO them. Several statements
have been made of late with regard to Col.
Gambler which I have passed unnoticed.
Whatever have had to say have written
and published"

There is a little split I'm the local factions,
but it is nothing serious so far as l am
concerned"
What do your friends say as to the re-
suit? How do they estimate it2'
They consider everything all right"
Judge Atkinson said. "They do not so
into detailed figures for several reasons.
The Gambler people have been claiming
pretty near everything so far as I can see,
and some of the claims they have made
are quite amusing. But as 70 the general
result they do not have any hesitancy in
saying that the outlook is most sSrsfac-
tory"
Judge Atkinson asked as to the situa-
ton in Chatham. He was told
that the Gambler Club was organ
lied here into which politicians Of
both local factions had gone, and
that they were making arrangements to
look after their candidate. He made no
comments with regard to the matter, but
seemed to feel that he has friends in Sa-
vannah who will look out for his interests
on the day of the primary.
Judge Atkinson was pretty well worn
out with his trip and was enjoying quiet
supper when seen by the Morning News
representative His engagements are
pretty well filed up TO the date of the pri-
mary. lie is looking well, however, and
the rigors of the campaign have not APP
parently affected his physical system in
any way.
Col. Gambler has not yet been in this
section of the state. but is expected down
this way the latter part of next week.
He Is at present in Southwest Georgia.
and his Savannah friends expect him here
Thursday or Friday.
