HOKE SMITH TELLS
THOMAS WATSON
HE'S A LIAR
THE GOVERNOR CALLS UP EVIL
DENcE TO SHOW HIS STATE
MENT is TO TIE POINT.

ATLANTA, Sept. Ex-Governor
Smith Monday morning branded as
false the statements that Thomas L.
Watson revised his platform in 1905,
and that he paid $1,000 during his
first campaign for copies of The JEFF
fersonian.
These statements were made ed-
torially by The Constitution Sunday
morning, in defense of the charge that
Joseph NJ. Brown, nominee for COVER
nor, submitted his announcement to
Tom Watson for revision, and also
paid Watson $1,000 for copies of The
Jeffersonian.
The governors statement:
Il did use during my first race,
which lasted IA months, a number of
copies of Watson's magazine, publish
ed then in New York city.
Il paid for them, at one time S70.50;
at another $100; at another $50; at
another 1920, making a total OF
$252.70
u was offered a large issue by the
New York office for $1,000, but the
offer was. not accepted.
THE statement that the announce
ment of my platform was submitted
to Watson for revision is also false.
i wrote it during the afternoon Of
June 3, 1905, and published it on the
following morning.
so far as | know Mr.. Watson had
no information about my entering the
race until after the publication of my
announcement"
In connection with the admission
that Watson revised Mr. Browns plat
form, The Constitution used this Ian
guage:
Both Mr. Watson and Congress
man Hardwick have already told in
detail the story of how Mr. Smiths
announcement of his platform was
first submitted to Mr. Watson and re-
vised by hiEi."
Watson himself has refuted the
truth of such a statement and, curl
ously enough, he did so through the
columns of The Constitution, in
statement given out by him at Thorn
son on August 25th, just a short time
ago.
He said:
The candidate for governor, as per
the original agreement between Hard
wick and myself, was Hon. Pope
Brown. That gentleman entered the
race and the campaign was well un-
der way when suddenly, and without
notice to me, Pope Brown retired and
Hoke Smith was showed in."
And in the face of this plain state
ment, The Constitution charges, less
than a month later, that Governor
Smiths platform was submitted to and
revised by Tom Watson.

NEAL BANK PAYS
ANOTHER BIC
DIVIDEND
IT NOW BEGINS TO LOOK AS If
THE CONCERN WILL BE ABLE
TO PAY DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

ATLANTA, Sept. 22.-Judge Ellis,
OF the superior court, today signed
an order permitting the Central Bank
and Trust corporation, receiver of the
Neal Bank, to declare a second divi-
dend on October q, or seven months
after the first dividend.
Iii its report to the court. which was
prepared by Gamblers, Thomson and
Hirsch, the receiver says that it has
$269, 1888 in cash on hand. This sum
is not sufficient to pay the dividend,
but the receiver said that it would
take it month to issue the dividend.
In that time, it thought that the addi-
tional amount could be raised, and if
IL could not, the receiver would be
willing to advance it,
The receiver said that it was will
ing, under these conditions, to have
the dividend declared on October the
21st
1t will not require as much money
to pay the second as the first divi-
dend, when $342 900 was paid the de-
poSllofS. rms is due to the fact that
many accounts have been set off. with
the result that not so much cash will
be required. A sum between 100000
and $325,000 will be required
There are 5000 depositors of the
Neal Bank. large number of whom
live in Atlanta and its immediate vi
cinity. The dividend will come in the
fall, and will do much toward helping
already improved business condi-
tions.
This will have made 40 per cent In
all that the bank has paid it's deposi-
tors. Asa G. Gambler president of
the Central Bank and Trust corpora
tion, says he is confident the entire
indebtedness of the bank will be paid
off in full

EHE GEORGIA FRUIT
PEOPLE To TALK
Of CROP
BIG MEETING TO BE HELD IN AT.
LANTA ON FRIDAY LOOK
ING TO THE SUBJECT.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 22.-On Fri
committee of the Georgia Fruit Ex
change viii meet in the offices OF
Chairman H. c. Bagley, in the Fourth
National Sank building, fer the pur-
pose of receiving reports from the
local meetings, held in the interest of
of the exchange, throughout the peach
growing belt of Georgia on Saturday.
AT that time, too, the committee win
receive subscriptions fer stock, fol'
lowing the call for the same recently
published.
Those composing his organization
committee, as named at the conyen-
tion on September IL. are as follows:
H. c. Bagley, of Americus; A NJ.
Kitchens, of Baldwin; A. J. Evans, OF
Fort Valley; L. NJ Heard, Of Elberton;
A. o. Murphy, of Barnesville, and w.
H. Harris. of Fort Valley.
Adopted Bagley Plan.
1t is recalled that when the fruit
growers, in session at the New Kim
ball, adopted what is known as the
Bagley plan for organization. 1t was
their purpose to organize a Georgia
Fruit Exchange, capitalized at 1,000,-
600, divided up into shares of $40 each.
No member could haYe less than one
Or. more than 100.
The call, recently sent cut, asks
for subscriptions and the pledges are
TO become binding when one fourth Of
the amount proposed is subscribed
Organization, with the election of off
GERS, is to follow as soon as the char
ter is secured from the superior
court.
The principal place of business is
to be in Atlanta, and the peach grow
ing section of the state is to be di-
yided into districts with local organi-
cations. 1t was these latter organiza-
tions which held rallies on Saturday in
the interest of the exchange.
The growers who come into the or
ganization pledge themselves to sell
their fruit through the exchange. i. e.,
let the exchange say which cities the
fruit is to go in order to prevent glut
ting the market, as was the case this
season, and thereby get a better price
for all.
Taere are over 1000 growers in
the state and the indications are that
sufficient number will come into the
proposed organization to insure the
growers getting a fair return for their
fruit crop.

NEAR BEER FOLK
HAVE AGREED To
AGREE
BRUNSWICK DEALERS k THE
"oH, BE JOYFUL, so CID sE TO
THE REAL" WILL "ANTSf" UP.

1t begins to look as if the near beer
dealers in Brunswick had made up
their minds to pay the tax imposed
under the new convict measure and
do away with the proposed plan of
testing the law on its constitutional
points.
This fact was brought out yesterday
when on the very first demand three
of the dealers paid Ordinary Dart the
sum named in the bill leyying the tax,
5000. The local dealers a few days
ago had agreed to put the law to a
test and went so far as to engage
lawyers to protect their interest in
the premises. 1t seems, however, that
they have changed their minds and
it is understood that the other deal
ers in the city are prepared to come
across with the 5000 as soon as the
ordinary makes the demand for it,
Those who paid yesterday were To-
bias Newman, ]. w. Murray and Sol
Gazaway, colored.
The News has it that the other
dealers will pay the license and that
the proposed plan to fight the measure
has been abandoned.
