Engine’s Noise Disturbs
Speaking at Boston
and Raises a Point
From Friday's dally.
1 Boston's celebration was a great
’ success. .Tie only Incident to mar
the day was hardly a marring after
all. It served to pqt t£e crowd in
. a good humor and give them some
thing to talk about. A freight train
on the Coast Line made a great fuss
for half an hour or letis, switching
around In the neighborhood of the
stand. Efforts to sy>p the noise
were unsuccessful and as a last resort
the crew of the train was placed-un-
der arrest until after the speaking
was over;
The speakers' stand was ‘ loicated
very near the railroad not far east of
the depot. When Hoke Smith was
In the midst of his address a long
freight train, pulled by a big copper
head engine came up and stopped at
the depot. It soon began switching
cars back an|l forth by. the stand
making such a noise as. to drown the
speaker's voice ontlrely, and made
his words fall powerless. TRo crowd
stopped their cara for a time, hoping
the ibterruptfon would last for but
a minute, ft, kept qp however, and
the officers of the road, were appealed
to to have the train move,on The
reply came back It Is sold, for the
train to continue, Its work. . Before
this appeal wgs. sent, a motion was
made from the stand for all who. fav
ored tending ft to stand jip, The
vote was practically unanimous.
All the proceedings of the day were
brought to a complete standstill, and
the crowd passed from impatience to
desperation and finally the, copductor
was arrested and held until after the
speaking was oVer._ II is said that

Some person! ire’flrmly dl the be
lief that tho railroad ordered the
train to atop at Boston and break up
the speaking by noise, claiming that
whenever the engine got in the neigh
borhood of the stand the engineer
would let off steam. Cooler heads,
however, say that such an Idea is
preposterous that the train crew wlfre
merely doing their work as usual
and had no desire whatever to dis
turb the gathering.
Hon. Hoke Smith took occasion
■ to call the attention of the audience
to the Incident as showing how little
regard the railroads hold for the pub
lic.
Tho Dinner.
People who got to Boston and they
were there by the thousand, say that
such an array of good eating they
tsfrdly ever saw before in their live*.
There were three thousand pounds
of barbecued meat and It was cooked
to the true queen’s taste. Although
the attendance was enormous, there
was food in abundance left over. The
special train from Moultrie hearing
Mr. Smith did not arrive until half
past eleven and this caused the ar
rangements to be delayed. He did
not finish speaking until long after
the usual dinner hour and everybody
waa hungry but thta only added sauce
The Speech.
Mr. Smith waa Introduced by
Hon. 8. O. McLendon who cut his
remarks very short because of the
lateness of the hour. Mr. McLen
don was presented to the audience by
Mr. J.-J. Parramore. The argument
of the candidate waa along the line
of hit other speeches. He held tho

prorppt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as
cold Is contracted and before It has

The military of the state are much
exercised over the new requirements
published In late orders from the
Adjutant General’s office. These re
quirements say that all men enlisted
hereafter must stand a physical ex
amination and secure a certificate
. signed by a surgeon. It further
more states that any man applying
for enlistment and under 21. years
old, must secure the written consent
of his parents. The order places
the minimum enlisted strength at 10
and the maximum at 50. These or
ders are promulgated to bring the
military up to the standard required
by the Dick bill.
Col. Wylly of the Fourth Regiment
is asked for an opinion as to the
new regulations. In his reply he
stated that if they could be enforced
they would serve to bring the state
troops approximated, but that -the
before approximated, but that the
company commanders would encoun
ter a great deal of trouble in reach
ing the standard.
in the first place a margin of ten
-n between the minimum and the
maximum is too small to operate on.
A conference between the governor
and the adjutant general, however,
decided that this provision of the law
should he construed ns directory,
and not mandatory. Any new organ
Izatlon will he required to show to
men before It will be admitted hut
an old company will not be disband
ed simply because it happens to fall
below the minimum for a few weeks.
All company,commanders in the state-
however will be required to make
every effort to keep their com
mands up to the prescribed point.
The medical examination will be
hardly more than a form, any man
of ordinary physique being able to
stand It readily. This feature will
be a bane to the existence of all en
listing officers, as will the other re
quirement making the consent of
parents necessary for the enlistment
of men under 21. The regulations
cause a deal of red tape of which
there Is already an abundance for
the officers and the adjutant gener
al's office too.
The officers of the Fourth are tak
ing their dose with equanimity, and
promise Col. Wylly that they will
see the thing through, even If they
get choked to death with the tape.
