The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-04-14

Service in Georgia, I determined to attack you,
Bill.
And, after reading your scathing denunciation
of me, the people will understand why Sena-
tors and Representatives made fight on that
cunning coon.
They knew what was in Bill Howard just as l
did, and they did not want to enrage that rattle
snake.
Bill you did not tell the truth about Rucker.
He holds his office at the pleasure of the Presi-
dent, and could have been removed any time DUR
ing the last thirteen years. Why didn't you have
white placed, Bill? The question is fair one
answer it.
CD You virtually announce that the whole
Georgia delegation has combined to make war
upon the red-headed Insurgent All right: let
em come. It will not be any very glorious feat
to hold the fort against the entire collection.
So, by all means, ION with the Dance 1t is
about time that it breaking loose in Georgia.
again, anyway
(4) Where do l get my campaign funds?
Out of the McDuffe Bank, where l keep and re-
tain and occasionally replenish nice little bank
account.
Where do you get yours, Bill?
Ever fingered any Of Jim Smiths coin? Ex-
pect to get the benefit of some of it, this year?
You'll need it, Bill and you can have much
of it as you demand.
Why do l say that?
In the first place, there is persistent rumor
that there is political partnership composed of
Jim Smith, Hampy McWhorter, and your virtuous
self. Consequently, and on general principles and
according to law and immemorial custom your
worthy partner will come across.
In the second place, you made some noble
speeches for him when he for Governor i'm
eight counties-two of which he carried by great
ly increasing per capita circulation therein.
Thirdly, your powerful pull with the Republ-
administration shielded him i'm the peonage
business l used to hear that you and Hampy,
when you Solicitor and Hampy was Judge,
used to the court, up there, in the interest of
Jim Smiths convict farm. That may have been
the time when Jim and Hampy were earning hon.
est pennies by shipping ''Tea Culture" tones, back
and FORTH ON that little Jim Smith railroad. But
although l often heard the rumor, paid par
ticular attention to it-shining names being so
frequently the targets of mere envy.
But, lately, there has been something
definite, as learn for the first time, from COM
munication made to me March 8, 1910.
Is it a fact, Bill, that you struck down old
ex-Confederate soldier, at the behest of Jim
Smith? Is it true that Judge E. G. Kinnebrew,
of Athens had issued two or three warrants
against Jim Smith, for peonage, and that you
caused him to be virtually removed from his Office
as United States Commissioner?
That brave old soldier had held his position
several years. hadn't he, Bill?
To humiliate the heroic veteran You and Hampy
and Jim Smith made of the Federal Judge,
w. Il. Newman, didn't you, Bill?
Since the new appointee went into Office, there
have been no more warrants out against Jim
Smith-eh, Bill?
The is absolute tool of Jim Smith,
and appointed for that reason,-is it not so,
Bill?
Ah you pussy-footed worker behind the scenes!
No wonder your colleagues afraid to offend
you, by attacking the negro who kept your faith
er-in-law in the clover field!
You imported your brother-in-law from Allan
ta into your District, and gave him the position
