REPLY FROM WARREN LOTT ANSWERS CHAIRMAN SWEAt’S LETTER AS TO BARBECUE. Says He And Dr. Walker Did Not Represent Hoke Smith Club. Will Urge Smith Supporters To Attend Darbecue On 18th. Waycrogs, Ga., Aug. 11th, 1906. Hou. J. L. Sweat, Chairman Ware County Estill Clib, Waycross, Georgia. Dear Sir: I received your letter of the 9th Inst., in which you decline to allow the friends of Hon. Hoke Smith to have a* speaker at the barbecue here on the 18th inst. I was very much surprised at the construction you put on the convehsa- tion between us. When Dr. Walker and I called upon you to request that the friends of Mr. Smith be given one speaker at the barbecue, it was in our individual capacity as friends of Mr. Smith and not as representatives or a commltte from the Hoke Smith Club, and as our request was verbal, we of course, expected an answer in the same way, but as you saw fit to be so formal -as to reply by letter which you had published with the evident intention of making political capital out of it, I will also publish my reply, that the public may understand our action in the matter. The day the announcement appear ed in the Morning News about the barbecue on the 18th Inst., I met Dr. Walker and we were speaking of what we thought the friends of Mr. Smith*, ought > to do, and I suggested that we see Col. EstiU’s friends and ascertain If they would allow us to have one speaker, If we would agree to bear our part of the expense, und we did this on our own motion, and without any action whatever from tie Hoke Smith Club. We certainly did not claim that we represened the Hoke Smith Club. You told us that you would confer with the Estill Campaign Committee In Savannah, and also the speaker! yon had Invited and let us know; that you supposed they would leave It to you, and If so, you thought we could come to an agreement., And Jnat as we started to leave your office I Jokingly remarked that I thought an arrangement as suggested by ua would he better for all of us, for if you allowed os to have a speak er we Would furnish the crowd for i (Continued on Page K.) Our Columns Are Open. -The columns of the Herald are open to all correspondents who desire to reply to others who have-had their say in this paper, or who desire to air their views on politics or on oth er matters. The Herald does not deny that It is partizan, perhaps extremely so, in the present State campaign, but we e honest In our convictions, and there are others who do not accept our views, who we do not doubt are equally sincere. It is not our inten tion to do any one an Injustice. If, In the heat of battle, we itfakejnis- takes, we are ready to stand corrected when convinced of error. The better part of our time since the dark days of reconstruction, has been taken up In fighting as best we could, for our state, our section, and for the Democratic party, which we consider the bulwark of our homes, our firesides and of everything we hold dear and sacred. This fight wo shall contlnue^so help us God, until the Master calls. We shall combat every innovation and every inch of the ground sought to be gained by the enemies of the party, with all the strength of which we may be possessed, and unless we go crazy before the present' cam paign is over, we shall die a Demo crat. We think a South Georgia man should be elected Governor at this time, and we hope he will be. , This is perhaps our last chance for Venrs^to come' and we”should make use of it. , Referring again to the caption of this article, we desire to repent that our columns are open to all articles of reasonable length and propriety touching the present issues, until the 22d inst. Then we hope to get back to business and to reason. WILL BE GIVEN THE GLAD HAND. ANOTHER TUNNEL ACCIDENT. The 8avannah Soldiers Will Receive A Hearty Welcome When They Reach Home on Sunday Night.

OXFORD HAS REPLY. HIS SIDE OF CHARGE8 IN YES- TERAY'S PAPER. Has Kindest Feeling Towards Parties Who Commenced Attack, And Says He Only Defended His Posi tion As Advocate Of Hoke Smith. Waycross, Ga., Aug. 11 1906. Waycross Evening Herald, City. Mr. Editor: x Will you please give space-in your paper for a statement that. I wish to make to the citizens of Waycross, and to those that have read tho articles, which appeared In your paper yes terday. I hope that what T have to say “hall be In tho proper spirit and feeling toward the authors of the above mentioned article, whoso name I know not. Now In regard to giving my time to the support of Mr. Hoke Smith, I re fer my friends to Brother W. H. Scruggs, Treasurer, of the Baptist High School who gets reports almost daily of my work. I am sure that no one will doubt his statement. It is very easy to exaggerate a man’s political position when political en thusiasm runs as high as It is with sopie of- our friends now. In defending my position, as an ad vocate of Mr. Smith, when It was said to me by one of my friends, In the Gem Pharmacy, when he said he had no confidence In no preacher's prohi bition sentiment that would vote for a man Interested In a barroom, I might have, as other men, said some things which would have been best unsaid and should I have thought that news paper publicity would have been giv en In future for the sake of perfect harmony In public sentiment, I would ■ have refrained from participating, even though I did it In self defense. | But If the articles that appeared In ’ your paper havo given the least satis- | faction, to their authors, I am willing j to suffer whatever pain, or shadow of unpleasantness which # has been brought me by their publication. I know it is not best for Preachers to deal in politics, but 1 am not tbe only Preacher that publicly declares themselves advocates of Mr. Smith. The refrreu made to ray salary Job Financial /; n? of the Baptist [ High School, ucems to me to be out j of-plane, as tho Trustees know that I ! did not seek tho posit Ion, but 1 sup- ! pose I might say, the pe tition sfugbt I me.

Tho command to cease firing was given immediately and the troops taken to their quar ters, where an effort was made to loarn which of tho soldiers had been using bull cartridges. The attempt on tho Duko’s life chunged the plans of the Emperor, who had Intended to spend the week with the soldiers of tho Imperial Guard. WILL SU8TAIN LOWER COURT. Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 11.—-Gov. Glenn returning here, speaking of the con viction of George Hall, at Salisbury, for lynching, thinks that tho Salisbury Court will sustain the legality of the special term of court that tried Hall and other lynchers. Hall will pro bably be brought to the penitentiary here while awaiting division on *p- poal as It Is feared an attempt may be made by friends to liberate him. There are about twsnty-five cases against lynchers to be tried yet. care of that part of It. I trust my friends wno shall reply to the article* mentioned, verbally or through the columns of the papers, will do It in the spirit of kindness. As I am a great believer In the word of rriy !.ord, recorded In Romans 8: 28 where he * declares that “all things work together for good to them that love God, and to them that are called according to his purpose," so I tnmt my friends and myself *hall share together whatever good there may come to tis by the articles above referred to. With very best wishes I am sincere ly a friend to all. J. 1. OXFORD. Financial Agent Baptist High School.
