Labor Day in Marietta.

Marietta looked the very picture of
the Deserted City" Monday afternoon.
All business houses were closed at
noon, and an ordinary Sunday was
something lively compared to the
public square the balance of the day.
All who did not go to Atlanta to wit
ness bali game, went either to their
homes or somewhere else. The wealth
er was warm enough to cause a run on
the soda fountains, but there was but
little doing at those popular places.
The people were just not in town.

Hon. Barry Wright Replies
To Campaign Charges

Hon. Barry Wright, of Rome, has
sent the following card and requests
its publication
Mr. Gordon Lee and his managers
distributed a circular letter a day or
two before the primary, charging that
|, as chairman of the Floyd county
Democratic executive committee, was
trying to improperly influence voters
in my county in the interest of the
Hon. Moses Wright for Congress. 1t
was stated first, that | controlled the
appointment of managers all over this
county; second, that was manager of
the Rome box; and, third, that l had
rules passed to require each voter to
show me his ballot before he voted,
with view to intimidating the voter.
The circular was put out just day or
two before the primary by Mr.. Lee and
his managers for the purpose of de-
ceiving the people at the last moment,
and too late for me to deny the report
and show its falsity.
want to denounce each and all of
the above charges as utterly false. /
received letter from Mr. Lee object
ing to my serving as a manager at the
Rome box. l had ALREADY DE-
CLINED to serve, and had so an
nounced in the Tribune-Herald. l re-
piled to Mr.. Lees letter telling him
this, so he knew when he put them out
and when he called the peoples at
tention to them at Lafayette, the day
OF the election, that they were false.
We give people fair elections in
Floyd county. These circulars were
not distributed in this county, because
the people here would have known
that they were false. In these circu-
tars, for the purpose Of deceiving the
people, Mr. Lee purposely omitted to
state that Captain H. p. Meikleham OF
Lindale, one of his most active sup
porters had just as much and more to
do with the election than | did; that
when declined to serve as manager
agreed with Captain Meikleham to APP
point another Lee supporter in my
place, Mr. G. S. Pruden, of Rome, or
any other of the many facts insuring
him fair treatment in this county.

MR.. WATSON'S SPEECH.

Hon. Thomas +. Watson was greet
ed by an immense audience at the
Auditorium in Atlanta, Friday night,
but the speech that he had prepared
was but partly delivered.
Mr.. Watson got along alright until
he began to attack the nominees OF the
recent primary, mainly Governor
Smith and Congressman Tom Hard
wick. He said the people had voted
for drunkards, gamblers, burglars
and thieves. He attacked the dis
reimbursement law, and said the coun-
try was plunging hellward.
Friends of Governor Smith and Mr..
Hardwick, who were in the audience,
made such noisy protest that Mr..
Watson finally turned and left the
stage.
He announced that independents
would be put in the field against the
Democratic nominees.
Mr.. Watson recently published to
the WWrld that he had returned to the
Democratic party. He appears to have
changed his mind again.
