ATLANTA, GA, AUGUST II, 1910.
Watch the Lineup for Old Lon
Livingston, the DeSerter, the
Morally Unclean Man.

DID YOU ever see a more fragrant lineup
than that which is trying to send back to Con-
gress the man who sold out the Alliance to
Pat Calhoun and on the 18th of March, 1909,
betrayed the South to the Republican Stand
patters?
Look at that list of names in the Constitu-
ton of last Monday.
There is Robert F. Maddox. Vice President
of the American National Bank. Robert is
the man who led in the moral up-lift of his
great city, had negroes sent to the polls in
automobiles to beat the Democratic nominee
for Mayor, who used public money to improve
Druid Hills for the benefit of the noble arts
tocracy, for the unsefsh endeavor to double
their salaries and was prevented from carry
ing out the design with great difficulty. It is
a sight to see Robert tagging along whooping
up things for Fanny Aliens man.
And there is Jack Spalding, whose love for
the Northern Corporation is SO conspcuously
and continuously displayed in politics. won
der if Jack was present when Pat Calhoun
sent the late Jim Green, his cousin, to the
Bank to get the 81 900 in cash to pay to Lon
Livingston. You could not get old Lon to
accept his bride in a check or draft YOU must
come across with the Cash which, like dead
men, tells no tales.
Jack Spalding was Calhouns partner and

of feather.
And we must also remember that Jack was
skidding about with Thomas X. Scott in the
private car Of the said Thomas X. during the
Georgia Railroad strike when that Northern
owned corporation was doing its best to get
Federal troops sent to Georgia to use their
guns in behalf of lot of negroes.
Then there is John X. Ottley, Vice Presi-
dent of the Fourth National Bank There is
nothing to be said against John X but it is
not an enlivening spectacle to see such an ele-
CANT gentleman and National Banker giving
countenance to such villianous and low rep
rebate as old Lon Livingston.
Oh, dear, there comes another National
Banker in the person of c. E. Currier He
does not come alone, either. He brings G.. L.
Donovan, his Cashier.
And then there is, of course, w. L. Peel
remote descendent of the great Robert Peel
the British statesman, and instead of being a
great patriot and statesman like his ancestor,
lowers himself in the estimation of all right
ly-thinking people by supporting Fanny AL
lens paramount Mr.. Peel is also President of
National Bank

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

And Heavens alive! here is Chas. T. Ryan,
Cashier of the Fourth National Bank, and
Frank Hawkins, President of the Third Ma
tional Bank
And Goodness Gracious! there is Robert j.
Lowry, President of the Lowry National
Bank, accompanied by his faithful suite,
Meador, Bancker and Davis. Oh, what
handsome group
And there is j. r. Orme, who is Vice resi-
dent under Bob. Now what do you think of
lineup like that? / wonder if these people
have all gone dollar-mad?
They do not intimate anything in old Ions
favor, excepting that his position on the APP
preparations Committee will give him the
power to give the greater number of dollars
for Atlanta than any new man could be ex-
pected to secure.
Is it not shame for people to pretend to
be gentlemen, good citizens, and good Chris
tians, to be such staunch upholders of rotten
politics? How much lower could they step
than to proclaim to the world that they are
keeping Lon Livingston in office because he
can bring them more dollars in their business
than any man who could be elected in his
place! The question of character cuts no ice
at all.
I doubt if John K Ottley would allow Lon
Livingston to enter his house. I doubt if Bob
Lowry would introduce him to lady friend
No earthly consideration could move w. L.
Peel to give a social 0. X. to such a vile old
creature as Livingston, and [ very much
doubt if Robert Maddox would do so, and
none of these men would want Livingston
kept in office if it was not because he can get
more money for Atlanta, and incidentally
keeps large sums in their National Banks
When [ was in Washington during the
panic of 1897, l saw the list of Banks in
which there was public money that was being
used without interest for private profit Bob
Lowry had $4,000 of it. [ mean to tele-
graph to the Secretary of the Treasury and
find out just how much of selfish interest each
one of these orally-elegant gentlemen have
in Lon Livingston's reelection. Won't it be
a shame if each one of these National Banks
is found to be pecuniarily interested in re-
turning him to Congress?
Watch out for the next weeks paper.

ence out OF such weary Willie as Henry
Swain, wouldn't you begin to suspect that you
were running down hill rather fast?
It gives me pain to notice that the Bank Of
Graymont has apparently erected barrier
between Henry Swain and it's supply of hand
some stationery.
Evidently the Beldon Spring has gone pow
der-dry again
The single sheet at which / am now looking
and laughing, originally had letter-head on
it; but somebody tore it off, before it came
to Yours Truly. Consequently, / find myself
driven to the disagreeable conclusion that
everybody down there in the First is becom-
ing reluctant to have Henry SWANS name
connected with him. 1t certainly is rather
curious that, in Henry's final and triumphant
communication, the beautiful letter head
possible that the banks and the mineral
springs of the First are disinclined to receive
free advertising, when it necessarily associates
their names with that of Henry Swain?
My nephew did not claim to have been pres
ent the day that you introduced Edwards.
No doubt he was sincerely disappointed at
not having heard your speech of introduction.
The fact that law-case elsewhere made it
necessary for him to forego the pleasure of
hearing your address [ have no
doubt, was neat and appropriate, not
prevent him from learning the facts upon his
return home He got up the affdavits all
right. You were not able to get any. You
and Edwards are precious pair of liars, and
everybody knows it.
You will never have ''the happy privilege
of presenting me to any audience, / can tell
you. 1t ever | come into the First, and need
an introduction at all, some gentleman will be
selected for the purpose. You are not gen
tleman. You are Just common liar and
loafer, Henry Swain. You are just about fit
to introduce such creature as Charles Ed
wards, the man who attends Divine services
in the forenoon, and then, in the afternoon,
betrays his noble wife to common drab.
Any man who loafs on the streets, talking
politics, while his wife goes to the wood-pile
and chops wood to cook his victuals is Just
the kind of man to ardently support the false
Tipped and false-hearted Congressman who,
in Washington, betrays the wife of his bosom
and the people whom he swore to serve.
1t may interest Henry Swain to learn that
bomb is about to drop in the First. I have
forwarded to the Rev. j. Howard Wells, (the
Washington pastor whose testimony in be-
half of Charles Edwards has done him so
much good,) the testimony upon which my
charges against Edwards are based.
Mr.. Wells is now taking his vacation, and
the two packages which | addressed to him in
Washington will be delayed in reaching him.
They were mailed from Thomson last Sun
day night, week ago They have now had
time to reach him, and I am expecting every
day to hear that he has telegraphed to Rev.
w. M. Bitch, of Millen, forbidding the
further use of that testimonial
Those two preachers, Wells and Bitch, as
sumed fearful responsibility when they
rushed to the rescue of Charles Edwards.
