Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-05-05

From the beginning ofhis cam
paign in Colum bus, Mr.. Howell
has made a speciality of abusing
and misrepresenting me. His
platform consists of a simple half
and half TRADE against Hoke and
and myself.
Caught in one talsehood, he
fees to another; run out of that,
he takes shelter in third. The
mans mind seems to be a bowling
wilderness of deceit and prevari-
cation. He cares no more for
truth than a billy-goat does for
modesty. He fattens on SANDER
as the Mangrove thrives on muck.
He ould rather deceive by mis-
statement than to convince by
reason; aud his ideal Of a fair
fight is to stick a poisoned knife
into your back, and then run.
To cripple Hoke Smith and
fortify the Wall street ring, he
has not hesitated to use every
weapon of the bushwhacker and
the coward.
He has charged upon his only
real antagonist deal to deliver
the state into the hands of the re-
publicans, when he KNOWS that
baser invention never came from
satan himself.
He has charged upon us-Hoke
Smith and Ia deal to put me
into the senate, when he knows
that no such deal was ever
thought of by any one save the
tools of the ring.
But, had I said Yes" to
Howell's request for parley,
who doubts that HE would have
been ever so willing to make the
offer which he THEREFORE,
suspects Hoke Smith Of having
made!
He has raved and howled over
my alleged support of the Keife-
Crumpacker resolution; and has
used his machinery in Washing
on Cit y and elsewhere TO have
my name held up to hatred as
au enemy to the south" This
is done to hurt Hoke Smith, and
to bolster mp the Wall street
ring which this false and traitor"
GUS Georgian helps to plumber
the south.
When he declared that ! favor
ed the Republican scheme to cut
down southern representation in
congress he knew that he was
making "a statement which was
utterly and absolutely devoid of
truth.
How can the Republicans
carry this state unless the
negroes vote; and how can the
negroessvote if you disfranchise
them by lazy?
Yet Clark Howell is making
his cam paign upon the assump-
ton that the people are such
fools as to be humbugged upon
the proposition that after the
ballot is taken away from the
negro by law the Republicans
will carry the state!
What republicans?
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-05-05

Where are the one hundred
thousand white Republicans who
are going to carry the state after
We disfranchise the negro?
They do not exist
They are creature of Clark
Howel1's imagination, born of
his political necessities and bod
led forth in frantic speech and
editorial to prop the falling for
tunes of the Wall street ring.

made the 12,OOO,OOO bales, and
the price was down to six cents
he published Theodore Prices
full-page article advising the far
mers to take 6 cents before cot
ton went down to five.
When l met Clark on the
streets of Atlanta on the occasian
referred to / "boned" him about
this. and told him it would be a
point against him in his race for
Governor.
I said to him:
Clark, we cotton growers re-
member how you treated us, and
we are going to give you hell
about it."
Therefore, Clark knew I was
feeling hostile to him, and there
is no doubt at all that he wanted
me to meet him in private confer
ence so that he could talk me out
of my purpose.
That is why he wrote me the
letter which he has tried so hard
to explain.
If J. l.. Cartlege, of the Angus"
ia Tribune would tell about how
he came to visit nue. in the Blue
mountains, last summer, and tell
about Judge Ewes going to see
Howell and then getting a go-be
tween to see Cartledge-A good
sized cat would be out of the bag
Clark was mighty anxious tc
get in touch with me along about
then-and it was not about liter
airy "cantracts, " either.
AS to the Houston, Tex, incl
dent, he also composed fiction.
My telegram to John Temple
Graves paper, The Atlanta
News,is there on record to show
for itself. | stated that the ne
gro woman WAC wanted to ride il
my carriage was the blacklist
thing seen "since Cleveland's sec
ond administration.
NY friend, John TIE mDle
Graves, telegraphed me for the
facts, and I briefly gave them to
The News in a telegram. Re-
ferring to the woman, | stated
that she was the blacklist thing
had seen since Cleveland's
second ad miuistration.
There was not q word about
Hoke Smith in the entire busi-
ness, and Clark knows it.
The statutes in Texas for bid
the mixing of the races in pub
lie conveyances and the rule is
strictly enforced, both ways.
It was nearly dark when | landed
in Houston, and I hailed pub
lie conveyance carriage-to
carry me to the hotel, some
block-away.
After I had seated myself in
the vehicle, the negro driver lu-
sisted upon giving me negro
woman as a companion IN A
NIGHT DRIVE IN A STRANGE CITY.
l simply got out of the car
riage, and told the negroes that
l would walk.
And I walked, while the
colored lady rode offin the carri-
age which I had supposed was
mine.
There were many reports
about the incidents, some Of
which represented me as having
struck the driver.
When Clark Howell logged
Hoke Smiths name into the tele-
grams, he simply gave another
exhibition of his willingness to
SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING
to get tee Office.

the following self-explanatory
correspondence:
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thorn
son, Ga.
My Dear Sir: Hon. Clark
Howell spoke in Henry county
today. The major portion of
his time was consumed in lam
basting you and Hoke Smith. In
the course of his arguement he
referred to the letter written to
you by himself, and expressly
stated that said letter was OF
business nature and contained
nothing, not even intimated any
thing, concerning politics. And
furthermore, stated that HE had
made contract with you, in
which he had paid you one thou
sand dollars for some of your
works, and wanted to see you
solely on that account. He was
asked, "Mr. Howell, tell the au-
dience why you wanted to see
Mr.. Watson on numerous other
things while passing thro Allan
TAP" His answer was, ITO see
him about the contract" or
words to that effect.
Furthermore, in his argue
ment opposing negro disfrans-
chisement. Hoke secretary of
the interior; cited the little Incl
dent that happened to you while
in Texas making your campaign
for president, when you mount
ed carriage and found a negro
woman occupant, your anger was
at it's height, and stated to
newspaper reporter that it was
the blacklist thing you had seen
since Hoke Smiths negro ap-
pointments of President Cleve-
land second ADMINISTRATION.
Feeling that these are some
things on which the people
would be glad to be enlightened
thoroughly, trust you will find
time to do me the honor of an
early reply.
Sincerely yours,
E. B. Daniel.
Locust Grove, Ga, April "a,
1905.
Dear. Mr.. Daniel:
Yours received. If Mr.. How
ellis speech in Henry county was
correctly understood by you, it
proves that he is still growing in
grace as a composer of marvel
Gus fiction.
At the time he wrote me that
letter urging me to grant him an
interview, there was no business
matter whatever pending be-
tween us.
Some two or three years prior
to that date | had sold the serial
rights to my Life of Jefferson"
to Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Howell.
That transaction happened sew
eral years ago, and was closed
incident long before Mr.. Howell
wrote the letter which now en-
harnesses him 40 much.
He never paid me for any other
articles Ia his Life.
After the Jefferson was COM
pleted l had no other contract
with Mr.. Howell. l had seen
him in Atlanta on my way to and
from the cotton conventions at
New Orleans, early in 1905, aud
had raked him oyer the Goals
about those Theodore Price ad-
vertisements. Mr.. Howell had
advised the farmers to plant for
100000 bales, telling them
that they would get 10 cents for
IL. That VIA early in 1904.

Gently, killed fifteen or more negroes

+: Any one who will take the trouble
to compare Governor Johnson's ref
ersnce in his Red Wing speech to
the Dairy and Food Departm ent
with chapter 1853 of the General
Laws of 1905, will see plainly that
he takes the credit for the "wonder-
full Improvement" in that depart
ment which was brought abont by
the enactment Of that law. 4 The
law in question was introduced by
Representative Lauretsen of Lincoln
county and it provided for the in
spection of food products before
they reached the retailer. It made
it possible for the commission to get
after the box car merchant whom
governor johnson takes credit for
driving out of business. This cred
it properly belongs to Representa-
tive Lauritsen of Lincoln county
who introduced and the Republican
Legislature which passed the mea-'
su1e. Try again, Governor.

The defeat of Dan Shell, as candi-
date for State senator in the No.
bles-Murray district, was doubtless
surprise to many, but whatever
grief it may occasion, among those
who pay the freight, appears t2 be
borne with fortitude and phAo .
sophie resignation. But there ID
reason to hope that the result will
not be altogether disastrous. Sen
ator.. Shells successor is safe, level
headed and conscientious man who
will have more interest in the peo-
pie of his district than he has in,
the good graces Of the railroad
and other corporate 'big guns in
st. Paul, and it will be reasonably
safe to predict that the change will
not initiate seriously against the
welfare of the district. It would ap-
pear: that Shell and Lockwood have

CHANGING A RIVERS COURSE.
Gigantic Task of Turning the Coll
oradO Into Its Original Channel
Ii Nearing Completion.

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 27.-Word
from Calexico tells Of the partial sue
cess Of the Southern Pacific company,
the California Development company
and the people Of the Imperial valley
in their efforts to turn the Colorado
river back into It's old channel and
out Of the New River which has been
carrying the most OF It into the Salton
sink. The companies have nearly
1000 men at work with three big
steam shovels and big steel dump
cars. The water has been raised three
feet by the work and the stream Is
lessened to about 300 feet in width.
Rock is being dumped in that space
and has found bottom to such an ex.
tent that II Is claimed that the river
will be turned back in ten days from
now.
