HOKE's BUNCOMBE A BUST.

The farmers of Georgia have seen
none of that four million dollars that
Hoke was going to save every year
in reduced freight rates, nor have
they seen any of that enormous
amount of cotton Guyt McLendon
was going to save for them. On the
other hand they have seen the price
of their staple go down to ten cents,
and as for railroad fares they have
actually to pay more under the Hoke
Smith administration than they had
to pay under the Terrell administra-
ton.

CHICKENS COME TO BOOST
j. r. Gray, Caught in Crash, Could
Not Borrow Money Because of
War on Capital in Georgia.

War on Capital in Georgia.
From the Gainesville News.
Inman & Co., firm composed of
James F. MCGOWAN, of Augusta, and
James r. Gray, of Atlanta, one OF the
largest cotton firms in the South,
have failed for over one and a quar-
ter million dollars, and have been
placed in bankruptcy
Mr.. James r. Gray, who is the ed
itor Of the Atlanta Journal, the
leading Hoke Smith organ Of the
state, gives as a reason leading up
to this failure that it has been caus-
ed by the long and continued depres-
sion in the cotton market.
But, it is as true as the law Of
the Modes and Persians that one
business cannot fail without affect
ing others, and that the war upon
capital has brought about a chain
OF disasters.
When the Pins Began to Fall.
When the Seaboard Air Line
went into the hands OF receiver
the Hoke Smith boomers said it was
already broke, and that it was plac-
ed in the hands Of a receiver for DO
litical effect.
When the Tallulah Falls Railway
failed and went into the hands Of a
receiver they said it was politics
When the Elberton Air Line Rail-
road between Toccoa and Elberton,
failed they said it was politics.
When two or three big cotton
mills in middle Georgia failed they
said 1t was politics.
When the Neal Bank OF Atlanta
failed they said 1t was bad invest
ments.
When saw mill after saw mill and
several brickyards shut down they
said it was politics.
Told Gray They Wouldn't Lend Mon
ey While Smith Was Governor.
We understand that Mr.. Gray
visited New York about two weeks
ago and made every effort to raise
money, but received in reply the
statement that just so long as Hoke
Smith continued his war on capital
In Georgia Just SO long would they
refuse to advance one single dollar
for any enterprise whatever in the
State, and failing TO raise the mon
ey there was nothing to do but to
go into bankruptcy.
It is stated that the estate Of Walk
er p. Inman is involved as endorser
10 the extent of $450,U00
The assets are represented almost
by cotton and futures. Much of
them were bOuQht az Dricoc for bjgb
er tnan those prevailing now.
The failure is admitted to be the
severest blow that has struck the
. Southern cotton industry in a de-
cade, as it was the biggest Southern
firm and probably the worlds great
est exporting concern.

ARE ATTACKING THE DEAD.

Joe Browns illustrious father, safe
in the halls of immortal fame, has
been assailed, but without stating
that he was sent to the United
States senate by the Democracy of
Georgia, and without mentioning the
100000 he provided to enable poor
but aspiring young men to pay their
way through the Southern Theologi-
cal Seminary at Louisville, or the
University of Georgia 1t is of this
worthy sire that he is a worthy son.

What Have Their Daddies Got to 10
With 1t?

Why bring the fathers of the can
didates into this controversy, when
neither is running on the merits OF
his father. You would scorn to be
told in every issue of your paper
that the father OF Hoke Smith was
a New England school teacher. and
that In the wake of war, with other
carpetbaggers, the most hated peo-
pie on Gods green earth, he cast his
fortunes with the South. Let the old
folks lie unmolested in the sacred
tomb
They should be revered for the
good they have done, and their mis-
taxes, II they made any, should be
forgotten.

few are so shallow as to say
Hoke and his railroad commission
have not had time to reduce freight
rates. They seem to have had plenty
OF time to allow them to be raised. es-

that Hoke, in all Of his campaign
speeches two years ago, promised to
reduce the freight fifty cents per
bale.

is within the corporate limits of the
town on account of it's use for pas

in other words he wants it valued

town lots no improvements having

are it has never been laid out in

eide the same at their Monday af-
