People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-09-02

amount due tor supplies, or Tor any
thing whatever that he might have
advanced on the crop or the labor.
Did they tell you that that same bill
put the landlord in Jail if he did
not treat the tenant rlght-if he re-
ceived the product of his toll as a
Tenant as cropper, or as a laborer,
and swindled him out of it? (Cries
of: ono! No! They did not say
anything about that.'') They knew
that I was going to tell you that to-
day, and lots more, and that is the
reason that the contemplate set out
yonder tried to break up our meet
ing, and prevent you from hearing
the truth.
Who started this bill 2? This little
newspaper down the street has gone
into appeals to your prejudices
against this bill as one of the worst
ever introduced, but who was the
author of that bill? 1t was the Hon.
W. D. Tut, and not Mr.. Peek.
TGreat cheering, and voice, "'Fore
God! how dem people can lie" Mr..
Peek did not introduce the bill at all.
What did the Sparta Show-my-hght
say at the time it says Mr.. Peek in
troduced it? Here is late extract
from it on Mr.. Peek in which it says
it was a s'slavery bill" Here is a
certified copy of what it said at the
time the bill was pending in the Sem
ate, and before it got so anxiously
soliciting for the negro vote. Great
cheering. The speaker stretching
his arm in the direction of the news
paper Office, You ought to have
an appointment on the Atlanta Con
stitution or the Augusta Chronicle,
because you are just the sort of liar
they want at this time. Renewed
cheering Here is what it says,
August Is, 1888. IA babel of
voices from the BLACKBOARD point of
observation, which drowned the
speakers voice for the time being. ]
They don't want you boys to hear it,
but You stand by me and you will
hear it. There are not men enough
in Sparta to drive me away until you
do hear it-until [ tell you the
truth. l am among my own people;
am on my native heath; | am not
a foreigner from Kentucky, like Mr..
Black, who never was heard of until
after the war; not only that, [ am a
man running my own farm, and not
merely the nephew of a farmer like
Mr.. Black; not only that, | am not
one of the attorneys Of the Central
railroad, like Mr.. Black. Laughter,
and a voice, "Golly, how he's skin
ming him."
1t is no wonder they are ashamed
to hear it. Now be quiet, all. This
is from the Sparta Show-my-hght,
laughter August Is, 1888:
"Plain Bill Tut will be entitled to a
monument at the hands of the people of
Georgia if he shall succeed in getting en-
acted his bill for the enforcement of con-
tracts between farmers and laborers."
Voices, CHOW you's getting there
we know'd it all along"
The editor of the Show-my-light
not only gave his unqualified indorse-
ment that the slavery bill was right !;
not only announced, through the
Show my light, that ne was for this
slavery bill in 1888, nine years ago,
but that ''plain Bill Tut" the man
who was going to put the negroes in
slavery, ought to have a monument
pointing heavenward for all time.
TGreat applause, and during its con-
tinuance the crowd of disturbers be-
gan moving off, and trying to create
confusion in their exodus. The lit
tie fellows are running now; I told
you they would run soon. Laugh
ter. They are gradually folding
their tents, like the Arabs, and
silently stealing away. Renewed
laughter. There is only one left,
and he has not sense enough to get
out of the way. TSide-splitting laugh
ter, and cries of, 'get two chips"
The point of attaction about him is
that his mouth is so much bigger
than his brain that The antics
of the 'what is it?" caused such con-
fusion that I could not hear the con-
clusion of the sentence, but it caused
screams of laughter.-Reporter.
Mr.. Watson addressing the dude
let in hooking tone); You just
stand there, baby, and I will haste
you again directly. When you go
home your mother will wonder
"where were you at ?" Laughter
Here is what the Show-my-ight
says, August %, 1887:
"Mr. w. D. Tutt, of Thomson, is the
ablest and most efficient member of the
present State Senate. He is a man who
can always be trusted to do that which
is for the best interest of the State and
people. He is and ought to be the
leader of the Senate"
Again, on August %, it says:
TUFTS bill, which provides a punish
mept for fraudulently obtaining credit
on the faith eff contract, not intended
to be performed, passed the Senate, but
will probably be defeated in the House.
What does that show? That a
wonderful change has come "o'er
the spirit of his dream?" The
Show-my-ight said, when I was
