Cone Johnson in Waxahachie Thurs
day was all any man could desire.
From the time he reached the city
until he closed an address that cover
ed period of nearly two hours he
was made to feel that he was in the
home of his friends. There was moth
ing superficial about the enthusiasm
which found expressions in smiles,
handshakes and words of encourage
ment from every source, During his
stay at the hotel he was constantly
besieged by a stream of callers,
many of the visitors being from var
ious sections of the country. The
hotel lobby was crowded until the
hour had arrived for the distin-
guished visitor to start to the Chau
tauqua park auditorium. where he
was due to begin speaking at 2
o clock. While Mr. Johnsons friends
were assembling at the hotel to take
part in the parade a brass band from
West discoursed number of airs.
The Procession.
Promptly at ] o'clock the parade
began forming for the march to the
park. The band took position in

At the Auditorium.
| When the speaker and his friends
arrived at the auditorium the struc-
! ture was found comfortably filled
J with people, and a few minutes
later every seat was occupied. About
one hundred and twenty-five per-
sons, including members of the re-
ception committee and old battle
SCARED veterans, occupied chairs on
/ the stage. Quite a number stood in
/ the aisles, in the doorways and on
the outside of the building. 1t is con-
! servatively estimated that the at
/ tendance was fully three thousand.
I Trinity University students occu-
pied several seats near the front and
while the crowd was assembling
they entertained the people with
their yells and songs. One of their
songs made quite a hit and it could
be seen that Mr.. Johnson enjoyed it
very much. He laughed heartily
when the boys repeated the line re-
ferring to Bailey's refusal to meet
Cone in joint debate. The song
runs as follows:

Goodbye, Joe Bailey. Goodbye,
With anti tickets, bless your souls
Goodbye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
You may fuss and fume, and swear
and pray,
Goodbye, Joe Bailey, Good Bye,
But We'll cook your goose on the
second of May,
Goodbye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
Bye e-Bailey-Bye-Oh
Bye e-Bailey-Bye-Oh
Bye e-Bailey-Bye--Oh
Goodbye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
Too fat for a woman, too pretty fol-
man,
|Good-Bye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
But you smell very much like a Goa
oil can,
IGood-Bye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye.
You may wash the can as much al
you will,
lGood-Bye, Joe Bailey, Good Bye,
But the scent of the oil will bt

Goodbye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
(Chorus).
You may call yourself wise, you MAY

It's the sadest funeral we have evel

lGood-Bye, Joe Bailey, Goodbye,
But we promise to keep your littl,
grave green,
