Uncle Obadiah Stevens Really
Must Give Up That Candy

How did Obadiah Stevens, the farm
err" discharge that jsacred duty to which
he was assigned?
Don't you remember that he devoted
less than two days to the careful in
spection' of nearly two hundred miles of
main line, and nearly the same distance
on three branch roads? Don't you recol
lect That he reported that the road was
in tiptop condition.?
Everybody knew that this alleged in
vestigation was mere fake. Public
opinion severely condemned Obadiah
Stevens for his betrayal of his trust. Dis
regard of human life and of the rights
of the travelling public was never more
plainly displayed. Subservience to the
corporations was never more disgrace
fully exhibited
The clamor became so great that the
Railroad Commission was forced into
action. Bowdre Phfnizy deserves great
credit for the fight he made. cor course,
The Jeffersonian, and other papers, were
helping it, The Georgia Railroad was
ordered peremptorily to make certain re-
pairs within a certain time. The corpora
ton defed the Commission, claiming that
no repairs were necessary. and stating
defantly that none would be made.
Then Guyt McLendon published his
celebrated letter to Major Joseph B.
Cumming, in which occurred the phrase,
Take a seat, Major, and let's talk 1t
oYer,"-the Major being general counsel
for the Georgia Railroad and a most
redoubtable old fighter, as well as a
most courteous and accomplished gentle
man.
Shortly afterwards, Mr. Scott, the Cen
eral Manager of the Georgia Railroad,
reported briefly that the repairs which
he claimed to be unnecessary, and which
he had declared emphatically that he
wouldn't make, had been duly made, as
ordered by the Commission.
Thus, you see, the official report of
Obadiah Stevens was shown to be utterly
false. His attempted whitewash of the
Georgia Railroad was not only condemn
ed by the people and by the Commission,
but was repudiated by the Georgia Rail-
road itself
Don't you consider 1t a supreme piece
OF impudence for such a man to ask
a reelection at the hands of the people
whom he betrayed? Don't you think 1t
funny that Yeomans, who is a lawyer,
should be sending out letters to arouse
the prejudice of the farmers against the
lawyers?
Bad lawyers are, of course to be con-
demned; but good lawyers have, through
out the ages, been the champions of
civic freedom. Patrick Henry was a
lawyer, and so were Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson.
Boys. as Uncle ODE is so much OF a
farmer, let us send him back to the
farm! For twelve years he has been
holding office in Atlanta. am sure
that he must be tired of city life 1 am
sure that he must be yearning to get
back where he can hear the dogs bark
and the cows low and the chickens crow.
I am sure that he is pining for fresh
air and a gourd of water out of the
spring and the smell of a corn field;
the fragrance of the fodder and the
new-mown hay. Boys, don't chain that
old man to Atlanta any longer. Put ]. A.
Perry, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, in his
place. and you won't regret the ex-
changed zee
