ATKINSON AT MOUNT VERNON.
The Judges speech Supposed to
Have Won Him Many Votes.

The Judges speech Supposed to
Have Won Him Many Votes.
MI, Vernon, Ga, April 2S.-Hon. Spencer
r. Atkinson spoke here to-day to several
hundred people. The court house, in
which he spoke, was filed to it's utmost
capacity.
Judge Atkinson arrived here this morn
ing on the 1910 train. He received a
warm welcome. He shook hands with
friends, dined at the Mason House and at
/ o'clock began his address. He spoke for
two hours and there was not man in the
large audience who seemed to have grown
tired or restless.
He first took up the taxation question
and sustained the declarations i'm his plat
form touching on state taxation. He
showed wherein his opponents had not
suggested any means whereby the people
could be relieved of the tax burden eX-
cept by reducing the appropriations for the
public school fund and for the old soldiers,
and this they are unwilling to do.
Judge Atkinson in the progress of his
speech, was asked how he stood on the in
come tax question. He pointed to a rec
ord already made by him on the stump in
1892, when, contrary to the views of a ma
jority of his party at that time, he advo-
Gated the enactment Of such lazy. He
has spoken for It ever since.
He was interrupted several times by the
opposition, but the questioners were
drowned in the wit and logic Of the
speaker and only added force to the i'm
preston his address was making
He took up Col. Gamblers record as a
letter writer and showed that a predica-
ment which necessitates some more ex-
planning on the part of lie colonel.
Judge Atkinson made a very fine impress
sion upon the people who heard him here
to-day. Many who were before his speech
undecided now declare themselves for me
Judge. 1t is conceded even by the oppoel-
ton that he will get the delegates from
Montgomery.

DEBATE ON REvENUE BILL ENDS.
Democrats Continue Their Attack on
Bond Feature.

bond Feature.
Washington, April 2S.-The general de-
bate on the war revenue bill closed to-
night, after eight and one-half hours of
speech making.
The debate to-day lacked both spirit and
interest, There was little discussion of
the internal revenue feature of the bill.
The Democrats continued their assaults
on the bond feature and their advocacy of
the income tax. The latter was ridiculed
as substitute proposition by the Repuo-
licans. The authority to borrow money
was defended by them as absolutely neces-
sary.
There is difference Of opinion on the
Democratic side as to whether the bill
should be voted for upon its final passage
after the minority amendments are voted
down.
A number of the Democrats. led by Mr..
Mcclellan of New York, have announced
their purpose of so voting, but the ma
jority of the Democrats believe they could
not justify vote for a bond issue.
An effort is being made to avoid an aye
and nay vote on The final passage to pre-
vent an exhibition of this division, and to-
night it seems probable that it will be
successful.
There may be some difficulty about the
committee amendments decided upon to-
day, as under the order the bond feature
of the bill must first be taken up and
under the fiVe-minute rule tomorrow. II
the amendments to these sections should
exhaust the time before 4 o'clock the COM
mittee amendments would be ruled out
and would have to be inserted by the
Senate.
The most notable speeches to-day were
delivered by Messrs. Payne, Rep, of New
York; Dalzell, Rep, of Pennsylvania; Nc
Clellan, Dem, of New York; McMiIin.
DEM, of Tennessee; Henderson, Rep, of
Iowa, and Rhea. Dem, of Kentucky.
AT 1879 o'clock the House recessed un-
til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

GALLANT WADE HAMPTON.
VIII Go to the Front Himself If Car
OIina's Quota Isn't Made Up.

Charleston, S. c., April 2s.-At a meet
ing of the Confederate Veterans of South
Carolina in annual convention here to-
day Gen. Wade Hampton spoke and
caused the widest enthusiasm by the fol-
lowing references to the war with Spain:
"My Old Comrades: We know what war
is. / do not hesitate to say that 1 regret
the one upon which we are now enter
ing. But you are South Carolinlans! You
are sons of the men who have shed i'm
mortal glory on the Palmetto flag in the
past, and 1 would rather die than think
that South Carolina would not respond to
the call made upon her for volunteers.
And, old as l am, / can still ride on horse
back and WELD a sword; and if her quota
is not filed, if there is one name lacking
10 make it full, l, myself, will volunteer.
This is our country and it is our duty
to make il the champion of freedom for
all time to come

Second Brigade viii receive a similar mes
sage from Washington within a few hours.
Officers here expect that all the troops

here in a few days. These troops consist
of $500 cavalry, ten batteries of artillery,
of 800 men, and $500 infantry. or a total
of $500 men. On the arrival of these
troops, it is quite likely they will be or
ganIzed into brigades, and a division TO
be held in readiness for transfer TO Cuba.
1t is well known that the much-dreaded
rainy season on the island does not set in
for several weeks and officers believe that
the purpose of the army and naval author
tiles in Washington is to effect a junction
with the Cuban army before that time, or
else land 10000 or 1900 regular troops there
and make a rush upon Havana.
