mo Apologies to Offer.
Referring to the frequency with which the
railroads go into federal courts, Colonel Law
ton said he had no apologies to offer. He rid
lculed and criticised the wave of popular senti-
ment against the railroads, saying any candi-
date can ride into office by fighting vested
rights. He characterized Mr.. Alexander's eff
fort as a stump speech, and ntimated that
some OF his statements were as inaccurate as
the statement in Watson's Jeffersonian that
the Central railroad cost $7,ooo,ooo and is cap
italized at $5o,oooooo."
We don't know when we have read any,
thing that SO impressed us with the fact that
the Benefcaries of Special Privilege always
go mad by way of prelude to their own de-
struction.
To adopt this insolent, defiant, bear-baiting
tone, at this time, is the sheerest madness
AND 1T WILL PAY IT'S PENALTY!
SO far as we can recall we have never had
word to say about Lawton-Colonel Lawton
Not even when he SO arrogantly dismissed
Hon. +. x. Overstreet, of Screven county,
from local attorneyship of the Central Raj
road because the said Overstreet, as member
of the Georgia Legislature had exercised his
rights as man, in voting for measures which
the corporations opposed.
SO far as we remember we did not take the
trouble to denounce that contempthy small
piece of prejudice, intolerance and tyranny
although it well merited denunciation
But now that Lawton-Colone1 Lawton-
has seen fit to drag Mr.. Watson's name into
his truculent talk before the Railroad Commits
sion, and to treat as utterly false a statement
made by The Jeffersonian, Lawton-Colonel

he demands.
The Central of Georgia Railroad was origi-
nally capitalized at $7,5ooooo, and has been
monkeyed with until its entire stocks, bonds,
etc, amount to about $55,oOo,ooo!
General A. R. Lawton was for many years
the General Counsel Of the Central Railroad.
While holding that position, he caused himself
to be named as a member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1877. The corporations knew
what Gen. Robert Toon1bs proposed to do in
that Convention. They knew that he meant
to create Railway Commission, and to make
it impossible for competing lines to combine
and throttle competition.
Consequently, the corporations succeeded in
sending some of their best men to the Conven-
tion
One of these was Gen. A. R. Lawton.
During debate while the Convention was
in session, Gen. Toombs arraigned the Cen
tral Railroad for repeated violations of its
charter. Gen. Lawton took.part in that de-
bate. One of the statements made bv
Toombs and not denied by Lawton, was that
''the original capitalization of the Central
Railroad was $780, 900, of which one-half was
water"
Gen. Lawton was actively defending the
Central from Gen. Toonbs' attack, and he
CHALLENGED whatever he could of ToOmbs'
