GEORGIA RAILROAD REFUSES
TO RUN SPECIAL TRAIN.
Bisir ess Men of Atlanta and I
Madison .... _ Turned Down—
are 1 |
No Special to Hear
Hoke Smith.
’ The Atlanta Journal Sunday
printed a long story on the guber¬
natorial race in which the state¬
ment is made that the Georgia rail¬
road is in war already with Hoke
Smith and has started a fight to
defeat him. The • declaration is j
madn that the friends of the guber-1
natonal candidate were making |
arrangements to run a special train
from Atlanta to Madison on the
occasion of his opening speech and
the Georgia railroad being the only
line over which they could reach
the point, offered to pay any price
asked by the road for the train, hut
were refused the use of the road
for any consideration whatsoever.
The article published in the
Journal of the 26th, follows:
The tailiTads on Monday morn
mg made two moves which clearly
proved their hostility towards tne
candidacy of Hon. Hoke Smith for
governor, and at the same time
plainly demonstrated their abso¬
lute disregard of the comfort a i'<i
convenience of the people they a.e
supposed to serve.
First, the Georgia railroad final¬
ly and flatly refused to allow the
business men and shippers of At¬
lanta to charter a special tram to
Madison to hear Mr. Smith’s open
•iug speich on June 29th. Their
excuse, as given out this morning,
was that it was impractical to run
a special train.
Then the Georgia railroad aud
the Central of Georgia ruilroad
combined their stock of vicious
animosity and quaking fear of Mr.
Smith aud, like unreasoning oxen
scenting danger ahead, stubbornly
refused the request of the mayor
a " d cit >' c "iinoil ot Ma.lison Or ie
duced rates from adjacent territory
to Madison the . ot , his ,
on occasion
opening speech
SCANT COURTFSY BY RAILROADS.
The final refusal of the Georgia
road to allow the special train to
be run from Atlanta to Madison
followed the semi-official denial of
this request on Saturday. It comes
now in the face of wide and caustic
comment from the scopes ot busi
ness men and shippers of Atlanta
and others along the road who
want to go to Madison to hear Mr.
Smith speak.
The Atlanta men were acting
solely on their own accord in this
movement, being prompted by a
desire to hear the political issues
discussed by one of the candidates.
Mr. Smith and bis advisers had
nothing to do with the request.
The Georgia road, nevertheless,
treated these gentleman, many of
whom have been for years the
road’s best patrons, with less cour
tesy than is ordinarily shown a car
load of ignorant emigrants or an
excursion of negro crap shooters.
On the same day their request
was turned down by the Georgia
road, that corporation granted ex¬
cursion rates to ten young men
who wanted to go to Covington
to play baseball.
The road has frequently granted
reduced rates to popular events,
and it is invariably the custom for
roads to put on reduced rates for
any unusual gathering. Circuses,
picnics, baseball games, even ne¬
gro crap shooters and razor fighters.
The only conclusion that can
posibly he drawn from the action
of these roads in this case, there¬
fore, points unmistakably and di¬
rectly to autagonism they feel for
Mr. Smith’s candidacy and that
they are unwilling to let the peo-

fa r deal in Georgia. * >
AFRAID Fi'R PEOPLE TO HEAR.
Tile interpretation that will nat¬
urally be placed upon these steps
is that the roads stupidly exp-ct
they will keep the pe,,p|,. from at¬
tending Mr. Smith’s meetings and
hearing the speeches which will
uncover the railroad domination
of the state and its politics They
particularly hope to frost the op¬
ening speech by keeping down the
crowd anil the consequent en¬
thusiasm.
That this is the most stupid and
the blindest expectation the roads
could possibly conjure up is per¬
fectly apparent to all who whow
the character of the plucky people
of Morgan county and the adjacent
territory. It is well known that
t tese folks succeed when they *et
out on an undertaking, and there
is not the slightest doubt that they
will hear Mr. Smith’s speech even
if they have to walk or travel in
wagons. They are not the kind
people to be held back and
tram pUd upon by a corporation

j rates "dl undoubtedly attend

on June 29tn in great numbers.
can’t keep the people AWAY.
In short, the action of the roads
on Monday is already recognized
as a part of tlie railroad scheme to
injure the candidacy of Mr. Smith
by throwing every obstacle and
every inconvenience in the way
of all those who have an inclina¬
tion to hear him speak. Now that
the scheme is uncovered, however
it will not only react on the rail¬
roads by drawing large numbers
who would otherwise not know of
the corporation hostility toward
his candidacy, but it will very
likely induce Mr. Smith’s sup¬
porters to urge him to speak not
only in every county in the state
but in several places in each coun
ty, if possible.
That the attempt of the Georgia
railmad to keep the cro.vds away
fmm Mr. Smith’s opening speech
will be a complete failure is al¬
ready established. Not in the
[>ast decade has a political event
attracted th« attention or a routed
the interest manifested in this oc
casion. Busninss men of Athens
>
Covington, Social Cir.tle, Augusta
and Atlanta have made arrange- ,
ments to go to Madison, as have
the people of Morgan and all the
adjacent counties as well.
