Coming from the “only Demo

in Atlanta” the Atlanta News’ on
slaught upon the “railroad monop

passing notice; and the Atlanta

Georgia. In his strongest arraign
ment of selfish railroad interests,
lloke Smith litis never approached
the severity of the attack on these
interests made in lastSunday’s At

on record, here and now, as being
emphatically opposed to the con
summation of this deal to lease the
Western and Atlantic Railroad at
this time. The present lease
stands for 13 years longer. Wait
at least ten years before taking
steps to lease the road again. At
the expiration of ten or twelve
years it is possible that the State
will not desire to lease the Western
and Atl 1 ntic again; or if it should
desire to do so, who can say at this
time what a lease of this property
will be worth in the year 1919?
Thus is clearly evidenced the folly
of leasing this great and valuable
property at this time for a period
of 60 years from the expiration of
the present lease and at a smaller
rental than the road is actually
worth today.

As the Atlanta Constitution is
afflicted with a constitutional aver

falsehoods in reference to the po

not surprised to find in last Sat
urday’s Constitution, on the ed
itorial page, in double-column dis
played type, one of tip- most un
reasonable and ridiculous lies the
Constitution lias printed during
litis campaign.
This editorial utterance was to
the effect that for ten days a lot of
“hired men” hud been scouring
Coweta county, securing “al
leged lists of Hoke Smith support
ers,” which were to lie sprang
upon tin* public as a spontaneous
uprising ol'Smith’s followers, alter
the speaking in Newnan last Sat
urday.
The Constitution was roundly
scored by Hon. \V. (’. Wright, in
his speech introducing HokeSniith
last Saturday afternoon, for the
publication of this falsehood; and
The News proposes to go a little
further and show up the Constitu
tion’s lie as a fair sample of its
tactics in this campaign and a
specimen of political truth such as
its columns are daily tilled with.
'The Constitution’s editorial was
not an exaggeration of or misrep
resentation of facts, but an inex
cusable falsehood with no basis of
facts to sustain a misunderstand
ing of the real situation in this
county.
Where tin* Constitution’s edito
rial writer received bis reliable in
formation about Coweta county’s
“hired” Hoke Smith heelers, the
News is at a loss to understand,
unless Clark Howell himself se
cured it in Newnan on Thursday
night of last week. The News is
informed that Mr. Howell slipped
into Newnan from Fayette county
on that date; that lie refused to
register at the V i r g i 11 i a
House ami did not secure a room,
imt made changes in his apparel
in a bath room, and slipped out of
the city and away to Atlanta on
the first train.
This was mysterious and pecu
liar conduct in a gubernatorial
enudidate; and perhaps it explains
the peculiar character of the Con
stitution's Saturday editorial.
Now as to the “hired men” of
Coweta. The News will give the
public their names and the pub
lic can speculate as to how many
of them were “hired” and the
probable amount of their wages.
Having determined to organize a
Hoke Smith club in Coweta, some
of that candidate’s friends in the
several districts of the county cir
culated lists and asked HokeSniith
men to sign them as members of
the Smith club.

The Ghosts Easily Laid.
And Hoke Smith came to our
town according to appointmentjbut
he can’t say he made many votes
here. Now little How’ller don’t
get elated,there were few to make.
Out of three or four thousand per
sons who attended the speaking, a
baker’s dozen were How’llers. One
Door little fellow holler’d “hooray
for Russell," and one uhdertook to
show off his wit on the "nigger”
question, but I think the last nam
ed has not stopped running yet.
I met an old gentleman after the
speaking, a citizen of Carroll, but
stopping in Newnan at present,
who said he agreed with Hoke
Smith’s platform, but was afraid
there was a trade between him am
Tom Watson. I questioned him
and learned that he advocated most
oi the reforms advocated by Tom
Watson, but did not want them if
they came through populistic de
mands. Well, I like the name
Democrat; to me, it contains all
that is sacred in political history,
and I have been taught to rever
ence the name from my infancy,
but I reverence the principle im
plied far more than the name mis
applied. If Tom Watson chooses
to advocate a true democratic prin
ciple under some other name, I
can only regret his lack of rever
ence. Perhaps Tom has good rea
son to abuse some persons who
appropriate the name; yet antagon
ize the principles of the true
Democratic party.
The truth is good, let it come
from whence it may, and I am not
going to relinguish a principle be
cause Tom Watson or any other
man agrees with me, am not going
to get out and take it afoot be
cause some other fellow,who beats
time different, gets on to the band
wagon.
There has been a great deal said
by the How’ller luminary and its
satellites, about the suffrage ques
tion, and a number of false state
ments are made in regard to the
workings of the new constitution
of Alabama. I have here in New
nan a life certificate as a registered
voter in that State, and therefore
feel that I have a right to know
whereof I speak when I say, there
was not a white man in Alabama
disfranchised who deserved the
privilege, unless he neglected his
opportunity to register. Out of
about 1700 colored voters in the
county where I lived, less than 20
per cent could stand the test. A
few were Union soldiers during
the civil war, four were Confed
erate soldiers, and they and their
sons were admitted to registration,
others were admitted on good
character, but the number was
very small. Before the constitu
tional convention the negroes were
just like they are in Georgia—
shiftless and unreliable as laborers
—but now they do not have to at
tend political meetings and trade
