on the resolution against negro firemen
on railroads, and the Federation asked
that the matter be taken up with the

the negroes stopped from firing rail
road engines, where many lives are at
the mercy uf the engineer and fireman.
The legislation committee also re
ported against ths using of convict
help, as they claimed It was putting

tion and did not have a report for the

OF HON. HOKE SMITH
The following communication from lion.
If. Warner Hill was Mat to Tbe Georlgan

To tho Editor of The Georgian:
The people of Georgia will bear wltneas
that I have been exceedingly pntleut under
tbe eont In nod malicious and vindictive at*
tacka of Mr. Hoke ftiblth, candidate for
governor, during tbe past few months. Pa
tience haa censed to be a virtue. This mem
ber of the Atlanta bar, who la a candidate
for governor, and who cannot aecure a ina
Jorlty of hla own profession to vote for him
for governor, on account of his peculiar
methods of practice, haa seen fit to continue
his attacks upon me personally, and tbe
railroad commlsatou of Georgia, of which K
am a raemtor, lo order. If possible, to fur
ther hie chances for governor. He la too
unfair to make a specific charge, but !ntln
nates that I am Influenced In some myste
rious way by railroad Influences. In hie
Atlanta harangue the other night, speaking
of the recent meeting of tbe state Demo
cratic executive committee, he said: "The
three lending spirits of that caucus were
Judge Hamilton McWhorter, political a—‘
of tho Hoot hern railroad: Judge Enoch
laway, a corporation attorney, at times rep*
resenting clients politically as well as In
tbe court houses, and Hon. Warner Hill,
your railroad coiumlaoloaer. There you eee
the close identification of your railroad
commlaalooer and the railroad politicians.
There you ace tlie alliance Inside the Demo
cratic organisation controlling It."

tive committee was practically unanimous

directly or ludlrectly, lo order that I might

could have ksows. when he ottered the
shore false and slsadems statement by

any candidate for governor who doesn't
know that this Is so, or who thinks lie can
