Hi-dum-diddle, the cat and the Addle— You know how it goet. All about the little dog laughing, the diih running away with the epoon and the cow jumping over the moon. In the dare when we were children they told ui these fairy tales in rhymes. Nowadays it is different and they read something like this: "This train has been chartered and paid for by the support ers of J. A. J. Henderson in bit home county. He does not contri bute one cent of the expense, but every man who goes pays his pro rata part.” Of course Mr. Henderson, who owns a railroad, would not place his employes and some of his own friends on one of his trains and send them through the district. Of course he would not ask other railroads to exchange courtesies. No sir. A short timo ago another "farmer Jim" special came into Waycross and Henderson men said that every man on that train paid his way (just the same as the special which ran through Way- cross on Thursday) But we say they did not. We state right here and now and as plainly as we can write it THAT EVERY MAN ON THAT TRAIN DID NOT PAY HIS PARE. So, if they did not tell it straight about the first train, what are we to believe about the second? Mind you now, we don't claim that "Farmer Jim” furnished this last train—certainly not. They advertised a speech at Waycross but when the special arrived there were but a handful of people at the depot and, losing heart, no speeches were made and the Henderson boosters spent the time while here trying to explain to the few Waycross people they met, how they were paying their own way. “Farmer Jim” Maybe so, but to a man up a tree it look* as if it would take a “Railroad Jim" to send out two specials to campaign the district. If Mr. Seventeen kinds of Jim don 't get any more votes on election dap than he had friends to meet his special at the depot on Thursday, he will make a miserable showing here, indeed. Each move of the Henderson forces but shows just how weak their candidate is. Shows that the Henderson boom has completely collapsed. Advertisement CAPTURE TWO TOWNS. Jnla will proceed to England.
