SfEF.CH OF EX.-IJ9V. SMITH.
Delivered in Colncihns Before
(he Cordon Clnh.
Governor Smi'h begun oy saying,
licit there are two candidates be
fore the people , i- Governor. They
wore both Deni .orats, and he ,;jd
not propose to abuse either-if then).
He said that the great ij^wiion now
ia: Shall the ruiiroailsconi.r;,! t-i~
people, or tiie people eontroi tin-
railroads? This, he regarded ns
(he real issue. . He said th- a
gressions of the railroad torpor
tions became so oppressive, tlrut tl
people took themaltcrin hand,and
in 1877, under the leadership ot Gen
eral Toombs, had a law passed that
the Legislature, from time to time,
should pass laws declaring v.liat
was reasonable rates for the rail
roads to charge. In 1S7D the rail
road commission was established.
He declared that'the commission
bill was framed by railroad men.
Ho said that the commissioners
were at the mercy oT the Governor.
He could remove them and appoint
others at will. Nobody complained
of this, for it was right. Hut the
railroads • wc-re not satisfied with
their own bill and they tested its
conrMtutionalTy in the United
Sf- i courts, and Judge Woods de
cided that it was constitutional
Judge Martin J. Crawford had also
said that it was right.
Governor Smith then took up th
claim which he said was made by
the companies, that the co emission
woul ; wreck the railroads. lie
/ charged that the Central company
had watered its stock 40 per cent.
They were continually increasing
their possessions, yet they say the
commission is bankrupting them.
Where do they get the money to
make all these accessions to their
property? They make the money
outof the rates which the commis
sion allows thorn to charge. He
enumerated the different lines of
which the Central had gained pos
session. He said the stock of the
West Point and Atlanta railroad
had been watered 100 per cent., and
yet it pays a reasonable dividend.
Still they say the commission is
bankrupting them.
He said the great anti good Mr-
Wadley no was in favor of a
commission, and he was satisfied
with it. In the course of events,
however, he died, and who succeed
ed him? He didn’t care to say, he
cared nothiug about the man. He
Characterized such men as “rail
road kiugs”wiio ride in their palace
cars. Ho wanted to know who
paid for these cars? The people,
and yet no such cars are furnished
for the people to ride in. He didn’t
want anybody to think he was op
posed to railroads having their
rights. If any man said that lie
was, that man lied. He believed in
the railroads making a fair interest
upon their investment, and they
were entitled to no more. They
should he allowed this, and if they
were not they wore wronged by the
people. He said that railroads are
quasi-public enterprises. They
were chartered by the people,
and the people had rights which
they must respect.
He charged that railroad men
were the aristocracy of this country.
They are growing rich on the peo
ple. Vet some of these railroad
kings were not always the larg
est stock holders. He crit
icised Jay Gould severely, and
Baid he ought to have been hung to
a lamp post in New York city twen
ty .years ago.
Governor Smith spoke at length
on this line, and charged that the
railroads were seeking to control
the state. He said that the Central
railroad was the great looming pow-
,Georgia. He ehn-ged that
the lobbied the last Legi lature iu
» most disgraceful manner. They
li-.id their men there, and they were
organized ter the fight, lhe rail
road men cried out unless the com
mission was modified the roads
Columbus saying the money eon
not be had to build the Georg
Midland, unless the
was modified. He said the oom-
misston was not modified, and yet
the Georgia Midland is being built,
aul lie declared that more rail
roads were being built in Georgia
now than ever before. The com
mission was not bankrupting them.
theV S;i jd it must be modified.
?se railroads are still organized
he fight- He knew this to be a
from the signs of the times.
^ r e Governor Smith charged
' Bacon is the candidate of the
L oa ds. He is the paid attorney
^ oreat corporation. There was
bing wrong in that, but let him
K where he is. He had nothing
ainstthe honesty or ability
he is e lected Governor
*no doubt, try to do right
hut lie did not want to trust a rail-
.road attorney as Governor
lie then eulogised General Gor
din in the highest terms. He
spoke of his brilliant war record
«nd said he had seen him with a
handful of men charge, the enemy
and lie never saw him charge them
but what lie rattled them. He had
seen him with the blood trickling
down to his ^Irv waist leading the
charge against the enemy. He
looked with perfect contempt upon
the man who would try to tarnish
tlu> fame of John B. Gordon
They even go so far as to charge
that Gordon will help Joe Brown
to steal the st^je road. Docs any
ninhTe-iieve that John B. Gordoi
will steal? Had he no! beeii tested
; in times that tried men’s souls and
i been found true? Did, he not repre
! s nt the stats with distinction in
lhe Senate? They say he resigned
—sold out to Joe Brown, lie knew
as a matter o£ fact that General
Gordon w as opposed to Brown’s ap
(•ointment, hut Newcomb told
him that he must answer in twen
ty-four hours, and there was
other alternative. Gordon had be
come too poor to live in Washing
ton. He was deeply in debt from
having given so liberally to poor
Confederate soldiers. He was com
pelled to do something, and he did
the best he could. He knew that
he had censured Gordon at the
time, hut he did not understand the
facts as he does now. He made
friends with Gordon mere than
year ago. They fell out like men
and they made friends like men.
He had never seen the time when
he would not have voted for John
B. Gordon. . They say Gordon is
not a financier. What had Bacon
ever done to prove that he was
one? i-Ia cited numerous distin
guished statesmen who lived and
died poor. He said if they wanted
a financier, why not take Jay
Gould ?
Governor Smith continued at
sonic length to eulogize General
Gordon, characterizing him as the
greatest military leader, when his
advantages were considered, this
country has ever produced. He
did not believe lhe people of Geor
gia would ever repudiate sui h a
man as John B. Gordon. He de
fended him from all the charges
that had been made against him.
He said that when the people refus
ed to honor John B. Gordon, let
them stop strewing flowers on the
graves of their fallen heroes.
In l.’is references to Gordon, Giv-
ernor Smith was frequently ap
plauded .
He said in reference to himself
that he was not a candidate for any
thing, and was only working fora
friend. He then turned his atten
tion to Dr. Felton, and said:
“There is a certain man by the
name of Felton that has come out
now. I understand that he’s a Ba
con man. What lie is God Almigh
ty only knows. I understand he
made a speech at Montezuma the
otner day in which ho charged that
I had a pecuniary interest in the
convict lease, and expressed great
regret that I was not there to hear
it. If I had been there he would
never have said it. I know him
If he intimates that I have, or over
had. any pecuniary interest in the
convict lease, he lies. I don’t want
to talk about the creature. It is
said a polecat can whip a Bengal ti
ger it he can slash him in the face
with his tail. He’ll never slash me
in the face with his tail. He pick
ed me up once, and he dropped me
quickly.”
Gov. Smith then spoke of the
part Felton is taking in the cam
paign, and said ne was paving the
way to an independent race. He
had asserted that he would not vote
for Gordon if nominated, and orly
that he would vote for Bacon if no
body comes out whom he likes bet
ter. He severely denounced Fel
ton, afid dropped the subject by
saying that he did not like to talk
about such a creature.
Gov. Smith concluded by declar
ing that if Bacon received the nom
ination lie would certainly vote for
him.
Hon. JohnS. Barbour, it is stated,
will in a few days issue an address
to his constituents of the Eighth
Congressional district of Virginia,
would be bankrupted and no more
roads would he built in lhe state,
Thev even sent a petition up- from announcing his disinclination to ae-
‘ ‘ ^ould
cept another election to Congress.
On the other hand, State Senatoi
commission E. E. Meredith, of Prince William
county, who was regarded a formid
able aspirant for the succession, has
published a card urging the unani
mous rehomination of Mr. Barbour
with the hope of securing a continu
ance of his services. To "show his
sincerity, Mr. Meredith has releas
ed his friends and retired from tne
contest himself, and will enter it as
a warm advocate of the nomination
being placed at Mr. Barbour’s dis
posal. - '
A shoal of whales, eighty in num
ber, was recently driven ashore on
the Shetland Islands and captured.
The American Society of Civil
Engineers will hold its annual
meeting early in Jnly at-Denver,
Col.
Bacon as a Railroad Attorney.
The Dalton Argus shows what
kind of a citizen Bacon is, from
which his policy as Governor may
easily he inferred:
As a matter of oversight, there
has never been a Georgia statue
providing for suit against a receiv
er of bankrupt properly, only by
order of the court which created
the receiver. This was upon th
old fashioned presumption that re
ceivers were appointed to look at
tor the interests of honest credit
ors.
The modern way, however, is to
make the receiver of a railroad the
instrument or agent of the bond
holders to bluff stockholders
and hold the small creditors at bay
so that - ; the said bondholder call
buy in the roads for one-fifth their
value.
The East Tennessee road has
been in the hands of a receiver for
about a year. It has about 500
miles of track in Georgia, and was
every day killing some poor farm
ers stock or burning his fence, and
mutilating and killing some poor
hrakenian or train hand. Under the
state law, neither of these could
sue for damage without paying a
lawyer to go before the United
States court at Atlanta and get an
order a 1 .wing them to do so. It
was an outrageous condition which
barred the poor man from recover
ing damages for stock killed.
As it affected the people from
Red Ciay to Brunswick, clear
through the state, Senator Rankin,
of Gordon, always a people’s man,
introduced a bill in the Georgia Sen
ate, last year, providing that receiv
era of railroads be placed upon the
same footing as superintendents, in
Georgia, so that they might be sued
in the justice courts ot the state,
where the damage might have oc-
tirred, and notice of such suit filed
against the agents of such railroad
companies, as it is provided in such
cases against railroads that are not
in the hands of receivers.
This bill was approved by the Sen
ate judiciary committee, and rec
ommended for the passage, and it
did pass that body.
The Senate is always the great
conservative factor in legislation.
It decided that the Dill was just and
right.
It went to the House of Represen
tatives with this strong legal and
conservative approval. This body,
fresh and directly from the people,
it was thought would surely pass it;
bat they did not. See how it was
done. Read it closely.
Mr. Bacon,the candidate for Gov
ernor, and the attorney for tho
receiver of the East Tennessee road,
went before the judiciary commit
tee of the House and convinced a
majority <>f them that the bill
should not pass.
A friend of Major Bacon’s in Dal
ton tells us that he stated to the
committee that he was the paid at
torney ol the East Tennessee road;
that he proposed to argue the ques-
iou lriiiiiu legal standpoint, and
van ted it distinctly understood
he was hot there as alobby-
Wugive Mr. Bacon the benefit
> ibis view of the case.
Bat let ns take another peep at
the proceedings. He worked the
committee all right. lie might have
made them neiieve that it was un
constitutional.
See,now, how his argument a fleet-
e<l ti e Legislature. When the bill
ca ne hi f re that body for a vote
there were enough members sick
and absent, for the time, so that
while it received a large majority
of those present it lacked about
eight votes fit a constitutional ma
jority. A goodly number had dodg
ed it by keeping out of the way.
That was the way of it.
Wedding Presents
Smallest I)iv.irf in Existence.
Nearly 1100,000 worth of presents
fiave reached the White House. No
official list of the wedding gifts has
been suppliei. There was the
beautiful necklace of pearls given
by the President to his bride. The
married members of the Cabinet
and their wives sent joint gifts.
Owing to the short time before the
wedding occurred after its date
was fir.-t announced to them they
could not select as elaborate
gifts as they would have preferred
to do had they had move time.
Secretary Lamar made his g*\a
choice when in New York in a cut
lass smelling-bottle stand studded
ritii diamonds. Secretary and
Mrs. Endicott gave four solid silver
candlesticks, large and massive.
The present sent by the Postmas
ter General and Mrs. Yd,is was a
breast-pin in the form of a how-
knot of Etiuscan gold, its edges
bordered with diamonds.
The Secretary of the Navy and
Mrs. Whitney gave a brooch, in the
shape of a branch with leaves and
flowers all formed in diamonds.
The leaves and flowers were set in
stiver, the branch in gold. It is an
ild fashion of setting revived. Col
lector Hedden gave a platinum salt
dish, on solid legs, with seed pearl
studding the feet. With this
unique salt vase was sent a pepper

GENERAL NEWS- I THE TIMS HAS
Cedartown Advertiser: An old
veteran, who served through the
war in the army of Virginia, upon
being asked which candidate lie fa
vored forGovernor, replied: “John
Gordon, of course,” and added, “I
would walk to Atlanta (sixty miles)
before I would miss voting for him”
When told that his enemies were
reviving the old slander about
his resignation as Senator, he re
plied, “I know Gordon and he de
nies it: and I know he is too
brave to tell a lie to get out of a dif
ficulty.” “Yes,” responded the gen
tleman conversing with the old
veteran, “I have known John from
his early boyhood, and he has been
wise from his youth, and he has had
a trait of character, (that his
appreciative slanderers may call
cowardice) that has shielded him
from prevarication through life, he
has feared God only .”

It has generally becu claimed by

aud business houses of this city
were favorable to Bacon. Tues

and the votes of only the bosses

polled, which resulted as follows.
For Gordon 94.
For Bacon .24.

Some ten or twelve parties, who
were absent from their stores at the

Representative Bennett, of North

Congress continues to pass pension

The condition of the growing
crops is much below the average
for the season. The corn crop is 4
points below the reported condition
of last year’s crop on the first of
June. The oats crop falls l-'l points,
wheat 14, aud cotton 15 below the
condition of last year at this date.
The Irish potato crop only is report
ed to he better than an average.
The heavy rains in many locali
ties have caused serious damage to
corn and cotton, necessitating in
many instances entire replanting of
crops on bottom lands.
The crops are from ten to twenty
days behind the usual stage of
groA’th at this date.
The retarded condition, due to a
late spring and the necessity for
rc-pianting, has probably had an
undue infiuenc-' with correspon
ded. • In these i i naraging estim ites
'1 he season has been phenomena],
and so much depends in the early
stages of growth upon future con
tingencies, that a comparison, as in
this instance, with unlike seasons
gives an uncertain indication of the
prospective condition.
The cotton stand is generally
poor. This is attributed to the cool
weather, to the beating rains and
baked condition of the lands and is
also due iu a large degree to defec
tive seed, resulting from the dam
aged condition of last year’s crop.
Nearly a tuil crop of oats will be
harvested in North Georgia, while
oily about thrae-fourths of a crop
will be realized in Middle Georgia,
and much less than this in the more
southern sections. In the southern
part of the State, nearly the entire
crop was sown in the fall, it was
badly winter-killed, and in many
localities entirely destroyed. Much
of tnis area, for lack of seed for re
sowing hns been planted In corn
and cotton. The damage from rust
in the whole State, hut confined
mostly to Middle and East Georgia,
is about 7 per cent.
The wheat crop in North and
Middle Georgia, which embraces
the most of its acreage, is less than
two-thirds of an average. Since
this crop, in the recent years with
which the comparison is made for
the present year, has hardly paid
the cost of production, this crop wilj
Reproduced,doubtless, at a consid
erable loss to the farmer. Rust ha3
been reported in but few counties,
and with the general observation
that the disease has been observed
only on the- blades. The estimated
damage from this cause is 4 per
cent. The shortness of the crop is
attributed mainly to the severe
freeze in Januar
Washington’s Aids.
Washington was a good jud
of men and horses. He never
trained for the saddle a colt which
ho should have sent to the plow
and he'never, unless overruled, put
a man into a place he could not fill.
The generals he selected rarely
failed to do their work, while those
whom Congress forced upon him
seldom justified the selection.
He showed his usual good judg
ment i» selecting his two aids, Al
exander Hamilton, of New York
and Richard K. Meade, of Vir
ginia. The Virginian was a fearless
horseman, but the New Yorker was
a vigorous writer and strong think-
“Hamilton,” said Colonel Meade,
“did the head work of Washington’s
staff, and I did the riding.
At the close of the war Wash
ington, while taking leave of his
aids, said to Hamilton: “You must
goto the-bar, which you can reach
in six months.” Turning to Colo
nel Meade he said: “Friend Dick,
you must go to your plantation;
you will make a good farmer, and
an honest foreman of the grand
jury.”
Both predictions were fulfilled.
Hamilton became a leader of the
New York bar, and Meade built,
with his own hands, a log-house of
two rooms on his plantation in the
valley of Virginia, where he pecame
a famous farmer. Several years
later Meade visited Mount Vernon,
and Washington rode to meet him.
They met on the opposite
sides ot a pair of drawbars, and
both dismounted.
“Friend Dick, ” said Washington,
“as your host, it is my privilege to
take down the bars.”
“Well, general,” retorted Meade,
“I will be your aid still.
The latest a 1 vices contain a small’
er element of complaint in regard
to the food crops than those a week
ago, but it is not entirely apparent
why this should he the case. There
is apprehension in many localities
of the winter wheat belt and in the
the corn states and no important
injury of any kind has been indicat
ed. The Southwestern situation
however, is reported in darker col
ors than previously. In Northern,
Northeastern, Northwestern and
Southwestern Texas, the best graz
ing and grain sections of the state,
there isappar- utlya definite loss of
the food crops, with thousands of
cattle and sheep. In some parts
of that region, it is said there has,
not been a good rain since last De
cember. In every section of the cot
ton region of Texas there is more
or less suffering from drouth, and
there is complaint of drouth in the
southern half of Arkansas.
“John,” said a master to his head
