The big opening OF she campaign

gigantic frost. The committee in
charge refused to let Atkinson speak
after they had invited him aud he

this fact the meeting was very slim

vertised was great swindle. None
of the big guns advertised were there
and they never intended being there

continues the story by telling that
they were crawling along the rail in
single file so.that it seemed as though
one monster serpent was moving along
and that when the engineman saw
the awful sight ahead of him he gave
the machine two more notches of the
throttle, came to Blairsville at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, and delayed
his train here long enough to hu mt
