Office to Hartridge. He could not be
found, and Mr.. Myrick continued his
speech. He concluded by saying that
Capt. McAlpin had once before been
candidate for the office, and when he
had been defeated had accepted defeat
as man should, gracefully, and revil-
ing nobody because his ambition had
been disappointed.
Mr.. j. l. Killorin, who was the next
speaker, began what he had to say by
suggesting that the club invite Capt.
McAlpin to attend it's next meeting.
This suggestion was carried out when
the speaker concluded.
Mr.. Collins has had a whole lot to
say about what he has done for the
improvement of the Southside. don't
believe he has done anything, but at
any rate l don't see what that has to
do with the election for ordinary. Mr..
Collins is not running for Mayor I
was going to suggest that Brother Jake
wait awhile and then run for Governor.
He's got nerve enough to do it."
Then Mr.. Killorin sprang his prize
package.
You know" he said, chat Brother
Jake has been offering a suit of
clothes to the man who would come
out openly and say that he ever said
that a dollar day was enough for
any WOIhllS man 10 IeCelNe. w ELL
I've found the man. He has said what
Mr.. Collins has challenged any man to
say, and made oath to it. Listen to
this"
Mr.. Killorin then read the following
affidavit:
Personally appeared before the un-
designed, a notary public in and for
the county of Chatham and state OF
Georgia, w. ]. Walker, who being
duly sworn, deposes and says that he
heard Mr.. J. S. Collins, in the pres
ence of Joseph w. Parker and three
other persons, say that rs cents a day
was enough for any laboring or work.
ing man. and that that was all he
made when he was working in the
country.
''w. ]. Walker.
William T. Constantine,
Notary Public, Chatham county,
Georgia"
"Mr. Walker says further said<Mr.
Killorin, after the applause that greet
ed the reading of this affidavit had
subsidized, that Mr.. Collins can keep
the suit of clothes. Mr.. Walker says
he doesn't want it, and that after the
election next month he is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Collins will"
AT the Collins meeting the other
night, Mr. Colding said the people of
Chatham county should give their votes
to Mr.. Collins because he was an hon
est man and a fearless man. 1 believe
he is an honest man, all right but
since he caught that car I've sorter
doubted the other thing. Mr.. Norwood
has said that Mr.. Collins doesn't spend
much of his time praising anybody but
himself, but I'll bet he praised the Lord
when that car came along"
Mr.. T. c. Dixon, secretary of the To-
cal Union of Carpenters and Joiners,
said that Mr.. Lazaron had been posing
as the labor candidate and that it had
been stated that some of the unions of
the city had Endorsed his candidacy
IF my union has Endorsed him." said
Mr.. Dixon, 81 have not heard anything
about 1t. All I've got to say is this:
They may send out as many circulars
as they please and wear as many but
tons, but when the day of the election
comes around Capt. McAlpin will get
as big a share of the votes of the
union men of this city as any other
candidate in the field. That's the kind
Of Endorsement that's worth having
Mr.. j. Robert Creamer was the last
of the speakers. Mr.. Creamer said
that he was out at the McAlpin
meeting, though it had been stated that
his political head was to pay the price
of his appearance. "Since Savannahs
Big Chief" said he, has made his APP
pearance and speech in favor of Col
Inns. when he was wearing the uni
form of his office, it seems to me I
have the right as a free-born Ameri-
can citizen to say few words in citf-
zen's clothes. tell you to get your
names on the voting list and on the
day of election go up and cast your
votes for Capt. McAlpin."
The melting adjourned amid a scene
of great enthusiasm, augmented by the
stridept notes of a band that was in
attendance. The next gathering of the
club will be at the same hall next
Wednesday night.
