HOKE SMITH TO SPEAK HERE.
Hon. Hoke Smith, the people’s
champion in the race for the gover
norship, will address the citizens of
Hall and adjoining counties at
Gainesville on September 23d.
Upon all of Mr. Smith’s former
visits to this city he has been ac
corded royal welcomes and large au
diences, and now that his voice is
to be raised in behalf of the masses
in the ever-recurring fight against
corporate incroachments we bespeak
for him a larger hearing than ever
before.
This race for the exalted place of
Chief Executive is not so much a
contest for personal preferment.
The dominant issue is beneath the
surface, and a momentous matter is
involved in the success of Hoke
Smith or Clark Howell, and, little
as the ordinary man realizes it, it
will make all the difference in the
world to the people which one of
these eminent Georgians succeeds.
If Mr. Howell is successful, the
dangerous enroachments of corpo
ration influence will continue to
grow, and its tentacles will con
tinue to reach out and grasp and
tighten. Upon the other hand, if
Mr. Smith is placed in the executive
chair, the surgeon’s knife will be
put to those obstinate carbuncles
that have, in the immunity of recent
friendly administrations,grown upon
Jhe body politic, and an effectual
curb will be placed upon the rapa
cious ambition of the corporations.
The integrity of righteous laws will
be maintained, and it will be possi
ble to enact other righteous laws,
and the name of the State relieved
of the scandal and shame of railroad
lobbies at. the sessions of the gen
eral assembly.
Now, Mil is no false alarm,
raised interest of Hoke Smith,
or any /uher man, for we afre in no
way interested in this candidate’s
personal success, further than that
we deem him a man of exalted char
acter and the highest ability, and a
most excellent piece of gubernato
rial timber. But we are deeply in
terested in the success of the cause
of which he is the honored cham
pion and standard-bearer.
We take it that every man in
Georgia who has cut his milk teeth
knows that it has been impossible
to make a law prohibiting a mem
ber of the legislature from receiv
ing a free pass upon a railroad.
At every session the members whose
souls are unseduced by the caresses
of the corporation Delilah attempt
to enact an anti-pass law, but in
every instance the corporation lob
byists have rallied to the help of
their masters. What measures
they used to stem the tide can not
be told specifically, but that they
were effective the history of these
bills bears ample testimony. The
free pass is a fine sedative for the
legislative conscience, a fact that
no one knows better than those
same serpent-wise railroad lobby
ists.
At the session of the legislature
just closed the big railroads estab
lished their lairs—and liars too —in
the State Capitol, and a member
could go to one of them and get a
pass tor his wife, and mother, and
his mother-in-law, too, if he wished,
and his washwoman and all her re
lations. To ask was the open
sesame, and when a member for a
few days neglected to seek favors
the lobbyist would actually chide
him for his apparent neglect.
Now, we wish to say that every
word of this is as true as proof of
Holy Writ, and the scandal is stink
ing worse than a polecat—crying to
high heaven for rebuke.
You, gentle reader, know the
baleful significance of a law-maker
going around with Ins pockets bulg
ing out with favors from corpora
tions. Theie is no need of attempt
ing to enlighten you on that point,
which is as plain as the nose on
your face.
And the thing which we want to
impress upon you, and which we |
want you to keep in mind, is this:
Ibis abhorrent, this supremely in
iquitous thing defies all hithertoj
tried methods of cure.
No, this is not a fight between j
Hoke Smith and Clark Howell. It
is a battle between the principles
which they embody. The one em
bodies the clutch of the corpora
tions upon those who make the
laws and those who execute them.
The other embodies the aspirations
of the people to destroy these in
fluences as you would destroy
poisonous weeds.
THE DOVE OF PEACE
Is now flapping its wings over the
realm of the Czar and the Mikado,
peace terms having been agreed
upon by the representatives of the
warring nations at Portsmouth, N.
H. Japan claimed an indemnity of
$1,009,000,000, but Anally waived
that claim in the interest of peace.
But the Japanese, in addition to
having whipped the Russian in ev
ery flght on both sea and land as no
nation ever was ever licked before,
has gained everything she fought
for. Russia agrees to get out and
stay out of Manchuria, agrees to
Japan’s protectorate over Corea,
allows Japan Port Arthur and con
tiguous territory, and the southern
half of Sakhalian island.
An Elegant Affair at River.
The reception to the retiring cap
tain of the Candler Horse Guards at
Chattahoochee Park Tuesday even
by the troop was one of the most
thoroughly elegant and and enjoy
able affairs ever given. About 500
were present. The Captain was
presented with a handsome fob and
locket by his boys as a token of the
great esteem in which he is held by
them.
Arrested for Alleged Poisoning.
On suspicion of putting poison
in the medicine of a little babe of
Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Rice of Mont
gomery, Alabama, a small colored
girl about thirteen years of age
was arrested by the city police Mon
day afternoon. Jtev. and Rice
came to this city to place their babe
under medical treatment several
days ago. Mr. Rice is pastor of
the Court street Methodist church
of Montgomery. A little negro
girl named Bush was employed to
assist in taking care of the baby.
Last Saturday the baby’s lips were
discovered to be slightly blistered
and the physician decided that the
blisters were caused by carbolic
acid. The poisonous acid was dis
covered in the bottles of medicine
prepared for the child. One bottle
of nitre was turned red by the ac
tion of the acid. Acid was present
for other purposes about the place.
The colored girl gave up her posi
tion with the family last Sunday.
Suspicion rested upon her, and at
the request of the father she was ar
rested. She disclaimed any knowl
edge of the alleged poisoning.
There was no direct testimony
against her. The father of the babe
would not prosecute her and the offi
cers released the girl. It is believed
that the acid was present on the
medicine bottles or corks accidently.
UNION.
The farmers are hustling about
their fodder.
The crops are very short in this
section.
Messrs. Abijah and Clarence
Clark returned to Atlanta last Mon
day after visiting friends and rela
tives here for some time.
We hope the singing Saturday
night will be well attended. All
come out and let us have a good
singing.
There’ will be an exhibition and
a children’s picnic at Union next
Saturday, which will be the close of
our school.
Miss Ada Deaton and her little
brother, Mashburn, have been very
low with typhoid fever,but are some
better.
Mr. Tyler Mauldin is all smiles;
it’s a boy.
Mr. Collis Puckett, our assistant
teacher, has gone to Atlanta to !

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, AUGUST 31, 1905.
A NEW ENGLAND GENIUS.
John Foster, the First Wood Enaraver
on This Continent.
Light upon the life of an early
New England genius, John Foster,
who seems to have been the first to
execute wood engraving on this con
tinent as well as the estab
lish a printing office in Boston, has
been thrown by Dr. Samuel A.
Green, librarian of the Massachu
setts Historical society. He has,
through his researches, made a val
uable contribution to local historical
literature in the form of a biograph
ical sketch embodying much in re
gard to Foster, who, it appears, was
the son of Hopestill Foster, whose
Christian name is still borne by a
street in Dorchester. John was born
in what is now south Boston in
1648 and was graduated at Harvard
at the age of nineteen and taught
school in Dorchester, several years
later establishing his printing office
in Boylston street, near Washington,
in 1675.
It has been supposed that Foster
did his engraving merely incidental
to his printing, but Dr. Green has
discovered an old letter showing that,
he was engraving four years at least
before he began printing. A map
of New England, which he made in
1677, is inscribed, “The first that
ever was cut here.” He is known to
have engraved a seal of Massachu
setts, a very crude portrait of the
Rev. Richard Mather, the first of
the Mathers, and a view of Boston
and Charlestown, from Noddles is
land, not an example of which is
known to be in existence today. He
was the author of six almanacs.
Foster died at the early age of
thirty-three, in 1681, and his grave,
in the old Dorchester burial ground,
is still marked by two ornate stones,
the one at the head bearing the in
scription :
THE
INGENIOUS
Mathematician & Printer
Mr. JOHN FOSTER,
AGED 33 YEARS DYED SEPTr 9th
1681.

Drawbacks to a Chaperon.
“Why do they always build boxes
in theaters that hold just even num
bers, I wonder?” queried the young
girl who had just begun to go out
evenings. “They are always made
to accommodate four people or six
people, and that seems so silly of
the managers, when they know as
well as anybody else that you always
have to take a chaperon along. Os
course the chaperon always makes
an odd number, apd it
sinHo was;
cause one inubTuiKe her
bad enough to have her
without the host being forced to pay
for two seats for her. As to inviting
an extra girl or fellow, why, that is
the worst possible mistake that one
could make. No, the only solution
is to build boxes that will seat ei
ther five or seven people. Then we
would all be happy.”—New York
Herald.
Wouldn't Waste it.
Andrew Lang in his “Adventures
Among Books” tells this of Robert
Louis Stevenson: “That he and a
friend traveled utterly without bag
gage, buying a shirt where a shirt
was needed, is a fact, and the inci
dent is used in ‘The Wrecker? Le
gend says that once he and a friend
did possess a bag and also, nobody
ever knew why, a large bottle of
scent. But there was no room for
the bottle in the bag, so Mr. Steven
son spilled the whole contents over
the other man’s head, taking him
unawares, that nothing might be
wasted.”
Device For Being Cordial.
There is a certain Mrs. So-and-so
in town who has the most gracious
and cordial manner you can imagine.
She went to call one day on a wo
man I know, and the woman spoke
in open admiration of her way of
entering a room.
“You do come in and shake hands
so charmingly,” she said. “How do
you manage to do it ?”
“Oh,” said Mrs. So-and-so, “I
just make believe to myself that the
person I’m going to speak to is some
one I like.” —Washington Post.
A Lawyer’s Scheme.
A gentleman once asked a lawyer
what he would do provided he had
loaned a man SSOO and the man had
left the country without sending
any acknowledgments.
“Why, that’s simple. Just write
him to send an acknowledgment for
the $5,000 you lent him, and he will
doubtless reply stating it was only
SSOO. That will suffice for a receipt,
and you can proceed against him if
necessary.”
Cabby's Valuation.
Biggs (to cabman) What will
you charge to take me and my wife
to Blank’s hotel ? .
Cabman —Half a crown.
Biggs—And how much for taking
me alone?
Cabman —Half a crown.
Biggs (to his wife) —There, my
dear, you see how much you are val
ued at. —London Telegraph.
Fell Fifty Feet
Alonzo Pittman Fell from Silver Falls
and was Badly Hurt Sunday. >
While out with a parti of young peo
ple Sunday at Silver Falls, near The ,
Glades Mills, about 8 miles from Lula, i
Mr. Alonzo Pittman, a popular young ‘
man of Lula, had the fearful experience
of falling down the precipitous cliff at
the side of the falls 50 feet to the rocks
below, sustaining serious injuries.
Mr. Pittman was walking along the
ridge of rock and became overbalanced.
Miss Clara McKinney of this city was
with him when he fell and she went to
lus assistance at once, summoning the
others of the party. Mr. Pittman had
an arm broken and dislocated, a hip
broken, and his face was cut and
bruised fearfully, his nose being almost
torn from his face.
He was carried to a nearby house and
medical attention from Lula, Bellton,
and Gainesville did all possible for his
relief. He was resting easy at last ac
counts.

To Put a Stop to Shooting.

practice has become too frequent, and
’the people have been not only disturbed
by the shooting at all times of the night,
but it has become dangerous.

Died of the Yellow Plague.
News by letter reached this city this
week of the death in New Orleans of
Miss Eva Weems, a former Gainesville
young lady, from yellow fever. She
lived for several years here with her

the Louisiana capital when Mr. Weems
left this place to find work in the shoe
factories of that city. She was highly
esteemed and had many friends in and
around Gainesville who will be sad
dened to learn of her death.
