The LalpYenceb1Ile Meeting.

In ample time to arrive in Lawrencevile on
the 18th, Mr.. Watson left home and travelled
as far as Athens. There he was stopped by
the suspension of traffic over the Seaboard Air
Line. Although this corporation had an I'M
obstructed track from Athens to Atlanta, it
refused to run a train, or even an engine to
Lawrenceville or to Atlanta Scores of bust
ness men were Inconvenience and in ured by
this pig-headed obstinacy of the Railroad but
what did it care for that? The railroad is pri-
vate property, you know-not public affair at
all. Such delays and damages as we suffered
last week is what we fools get as a return
for Our folly in voting away Our public roads
to private money-grabbers.
After having been hung up in Athens for
twenty-four hours, the Jeffersonian set out
to Lula, buying ticket upon the positive
surance that at Lula close connection would
be made for Atlanta.
The close connection proved to have a quail
flying clause that gave us a rest of six hours
at Lula. Yes, we did finally reach Atlanta,
but the people who had assembled at Law
renceville, to the number of several thousand,
had their day spoiled and their trip to town
wasted because of the fact that the railroad
refused to charter an engine to take the speaker
forty miles over a clear track from Athens to
Lawrencevie.
Patience, friends. We will try it again.
Lawrenceville shall have another date of
which you will have due notice.

By deceiving Pope Brown, the Hon. Hoke

Up to that time we did not know that Hon.

him in that role. We did not know of him as
an advocate of negro Acknowledgement. He
had made such gushing plea for higher edu
cation of the negro, before the Ogden party,
and had Clipped in $500 SO generously, that
we would have guessed him to be a Booker
Westinghouse.
Yet he bobbed up serenely in 1905, after all
the knowing ones began to see the strength
of the combination in favor of disfranchise-
ment, and he horned Pope off the range.

Henry Turner who had endorsed Hoke for
Cabinet position, and had thus lifted his sons

the Hon Hoke stumped our dear old state in
a very laborous manner, indeed. Who can
ever forget Hoke as a stump speaker? Did
not the wekn ring? Did not his humorous
anecdotes pass before us with the stately deco
rum of funeral procession? Did not his fiery
cloquence sweep all before it?
1t surely did. At least Hoke thought SO. 1t
never entered his head that he owed his sue
cess over Clark, Dick and Jim to the strength
