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 lanta News. Down with the News! It is traducing the fair name and lame of this great State and is hatching ti conspiracy to destroy Democratic party in Georgia! 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.

In the conven tion whatever number of delegates can be mustered to the standards of the four brothers will be con solidated for Howell. These tire facts and they are perfectly plain to all discriminating voters; espe cially so in \ icw of Hie admission of their truth by numbers of poli ticians who belong to this combina tion. To sum up the matter in a sentence, with reference to Coweta county, a vote for Russell is a vote for Howell. No man, black or white, can turninh a good excuse for being a loafer .in Newnan. There is more work of all kinds to In* done in this city than can be attended to by all the workmen and laborers in New- nnn. The cry for more skilled and unskilled laborers goes up every clay, and as a rule nobody responds to it. If there are any loafers in Newnan they should go to work. If you fail to register on or Ire- fore Saturday, August nth, you can't vote on August 22nd. How ever, all voters who have register ed once this year are not required to register again. In Coweta county all voters who registered before the county primary can vote without registering again. The THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD DEAL.

There fore, Coweta county people were 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. I11 the First district these lists were in the hands of Mayor C. F. llollberg, of Senoia.aml ,). A. Mc knight; in the Second they were circulated by H011. W.A. Brannon and J. T.

For Sale by Dr. Paul Pen- iston, Newnan, On. 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 POTTS AND PARKS 1 t are busily engaged in forming an “alleged” Smith club in this coun ty, and whose efforts have proven so successful that they have al ready secured about 1,200 names of real, live Coweta voters who will go to the polls on August 22d and vote for Hoke Smith.
