A GRAND RALLY For Tuesday October 4th.—Ex ecutive Committee Met 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 J. G.

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. 1890. 1898.
