A GRAND RALLY
For Tuesday October 4th.—Ex

Saturday.
T c return of Captain Eugene Fred-
A c j. May Mayne is again being dis-
' UsSe( j m mining circles. It is uoder-
^ that Mr. Charles F. Kingsberry
f Atlanta, who was in the eity this
^ek bad received a cablegram from
'apiam Mayne saying that he had sail-
4 Monday from London to New York
‘ fiil u ould arrive in Gainesville about
October 5tb. It is also reported that
Captain Mayne is coming back to
n-orgia to push his mining schemes
in d fe backed by a syndicate with plen
ty of money •
Those who claim to be in position to
p- D o\v say that Captain Mayne did
reach New York some months ago en
route to Georgia but that while in that
,-ity had a fall accidentally which
forced him to return to England to re
cover, he not desiring to come here
au d be unable to give his personal at
tention to his mining ventures.
Many people have implicit confidence
in Captain Mayne and say that he
would have successfully carried out his
pl an .s when here before had it not been
for the continual misrepresentations
ma de by his enemies to the people who
were backing him. They declare his
ntentions are good and that his deal
ings were perfectly fair.
Captain Mayne’s return will cause
something of a sensation. His alleged
extravagant way of living while here
excited no little comment and much
was said about his wholesale method
of securing options on properties m
this section. The British and Georgia
Corporation, of which hewAs the head,
contemplated the greatest mining op
erations ^ver attempted in Georgia.
Throughout this mining belt options
were secured on properties which they
intended developing, but in some way
they were forced to abandon the pro
ject, and Captain Mayne’s return to
England caused the whole scheme to
collapse. Although Captain Mayne
and his attaches spent money like wa
ter and made purchases everywhere it
is said, that they left but very creditors
having virtually paid their way as
they went

Hon. J. R. Hogan, populist candidate
for Governor of Georgia, spoke at the
court house here Thursday at noon. A
fairly good crowd was present and gave
him a respectful hearing. Almost half
the crowd was composed of Democrats
who went to hear what Mr. Hogan had
to say. He made a very conservative
speech and about the only thing he
contended for was two parties in Geor
gia—the Democratic and Populist.
He spoke as if he had no idea on earth
that he would be elected Governor, and
appeared as if his belief was that all
good the Populists could do would be
to keep the Democrats straight. His
criticisms of Democrats generally and
Colonel Candler in particular were ex
ceedingly mild. His speech created no
enthusiasm though occasionally some
admirer would cheer him. He said
he had not uttered an unkind word
against Colonel Candler during the
campaign and that he did not propose
to do so. Mr. J. S. Brooke, the pop
ulist candidate for congress against
Colonel Carter Tate, was present.
Populism in Hall county was not
strengthened by the visit of these two
candidates.
