James A Fort, Chairman. W A Hill, Sccty. Lumpkin, Ga. Aug. 11,-1886. Railroad Meeting In Americus. Amekicus, Ga., Aug. 11, 1886. Etuioits Independent.— At a large and enthusiastic meeting of citizens to-day at the couH house, Hon. C F Crisp delivered one of liis characteristic addresses iu favor of a railroad to the East. At the conclusion Hon. It F Watts, of Stewart,was vociferous ly called for and although the speaker stated lie was very unwell it was ilot long before he held his audience spell boiiud.-filiich last ed to the oud. “Dooly and Wilcox cotinties,” salt! (lie speaker, “have about raibcd their fifty-fiVo thousand dollars of subscriptions. Won’t Sumter present a pretty sight to go to these stock and sheep raising farmers and say life know you have raised your amount selling sheep, chickens and eggs; we admire your patriotism but Sumter can’t rai.su her forty thousand dollars- she has got too many rich men (cheers.) Fellow citizens, if this money is ever raised it must bo done by the public-spirited poor people. God bless them. Let the rich men alone. God Al¬ mighty lets the rich men alone and why not we? (loudcheers.) When Lumpkin and Stewart County were trembling in the balance; when it seemed that our people had done all they could, but still lacked teu thousand dollars, we had our rich men as you have who would do nothing. Well we called a public meet¬ ing and Dr. Gregory seemed to rise up like as though inspired aud proposed that all of us who had g.veu would double up aud thus ten thousand dollars was raised aiul.the A P & L directors said it was the sweetest ever had. S H Hawkins is the right man in the right place. Some of you are trying to say that Hawkins’ pluck, energy aud perscrverunce will put the read through; you say lie has the money of his own to put it through, I don’t believe he has, (laughter.) While he has energy,pluck and nerve a plenty, he also has a little sense, (renewed applause.) Stop your bickering, open your hearts and save Americus.” To say t! a' the address was well received dot s but poorly express it. It was grand, appro¬ priate and witty. In Hon. It F Watts our people recognize a patriot, a fiuc law j er and polished orator. May his voice yet rever¬ berate in the halls of. Congress, not on'y iu behalf of the people of Stewart, but for the people of Georgia. No man in the district would be truer to every trust imposed. Immediately after the address he hurried to the train Ur Ilawkinsville to attend the Congressional Convention, and thus we were unable to procure from him a copy of his magnificent speech. Ethel. , PERSONAL NOTES Mr, Samuel JloGarrab, of Am erieus, was in town Wednesday.
