THEY BOTH WANT THE EARTH.
Slate Superintendent Goudy and
Treasurer Hill-Giulty of Ilank
Nepotism.
The state has frequently been the
victim of personal greed and rank
nepotism practiced by its officers but
never has there been so flagrant an
abuse of this nature as can be found in
the offices of the state superintonden t
and state treasurer to-day. In the for
mer can be found the state superinten
dent practically drawing two salaries
or $3,500, he, having appointed his
wife his deputy, much to the disgust of
the body of republicans, while in the
treasurer's office can be found the name
of Carola Hill as clerk who is now in
the east on a wedding trip, and during
the four years she has drawn her salary
of $1000, a year, has not done a month's
service but instead has been east to
school during most of the time. But
this is not all. Capt. Hill does not in
tend to let any of the state money run
up against him without he has a finger
in it, so as-a member of the board of
public lands and buildings he has his
son appointed as engineer at the capi
tol building a position for which he is
totally incompetent. Besides these
direct appointments and the treasurer's
own salary he is drawing interest on
the state's money and is a silent partner
in buying the state's warrants which he
as a member of the board of education
al f unds should have bought with this
fund and the state thus draw the inter
est. -" ' '' ' ' L.
THE .WEAVER BALLY. '
The independents in all parts of the
county should get ready in time for the
jrreat Weaver rallv on Nov. 2. The ar
rangements so far as completed are as
follows:
Grand parade at 11:30. Speaking at
M street ball park at 2. Speaking at
night in Bohanan's hall. Circulars giv
ing full particulars will be issued soon.
Mrs. Lease Interviewed.
As Mrs. Lease wa3 passing through
St. Louis to meet General Weaver at
Terre Haute, Indiana, she was inter
viewed. She declared that General
Weaver was a brave and daring man,
and that his departure from Georgia
was in no degree the result of fear.
She gave the following account of the
TRIP THROUGH GEORGIA.
'Beginning: at Wavcross in the south
ern part of Georgia, we received our
first intimation of impending trouble
as we alighted from the train when we
noticed the depot platform and side
walk strewn with circulars warning
everyone to keep away from our meetings.-
This was for those who could
read. For those who could not read
messengers were stationed on the roads
to meet the people as they came into
town and tell them that an admission
fee of 50 cents would bo exacted of them
before they could enter the meeting
This turned many of the country peo
ple and negroes back; and yet through
the efforts of the third partyites a fair
audience greeted us and accorded us a
respectful hearing. We congratulated
ourselves on having had a successful
meeting; out after our people leit town
the ' chivalric" democratic . thugs
emerged from their hiding places and
plotted murder. Their plan was to
waylay General Weaver as he boarded
the night train. Our chairman Mr H.
C. Reed of Waycross, who has since
written more than he dared to tell us
at the time, heard of the lawlessness
premeditated, and seeking the mayor
implored him for the honor of the south
to do everything in his power to pro
tect General Weaver and party. The
mayor, several special police, Mr. Reed
and fifteen alliance men remained at
the depot all that night to protect us
We, unconscious of danger, had at the
last moment decided to take a morning
train; henco we escaped with our lives,
not knowing that a gang of ruffians who
had made night hideous were waiting
to assault us. We have since heard
facts from our chairman, Mr. Reed,
that would not have soothed our nerves
if we had known them at the time.
''Shortly after our arrival at Albany,
a turbulent, howling, drunken mob
gathered in and around the hotel. The
democratic chairman came and offered
us the use of the opera house free, and
assured us on the faith of a Georgian,
we would not be molested nor our meet
Ing interrupted. Yet, notwithstanding
the gentleman's honor was at stake we
were frequently interrupted in the
vilest manner. A plo had been laid to
shut us in the opera house and at the
conclusion of our address we would bo
compelled to listen to a tirade of drun
ken abuse from a negro hired by the
chivalric democracy to demonstrate
their ideas of social equality." ;
"At Columbus another storm awaited
us. A reporter of the Atlanta Journal
who had made a specialty of collecting
affidavits in regard to General Weaver's
war record at Pulaski, and who had
followed us persistently to incite ro,wdy
ism, was present at 'this meet
ing and as usual, attempted a disturb
ance. Enough of our poop'e were pres
ent, however, partially to suppress it,
but we suffered a great deal of indignity.
"There has not been an honest elec
tion in the south for years," continued
Mrs. Lease. "After the negro had
been enfranchised the democracy start
ed out with the proposition that it was
right to count out his vote, and they
followed that up with the idea that it
is right to count out any political op
ponent. Democracy holds power in the
south by fraudulent voting. They
openly boast of their ability to have a
full count, and while crying out
against a force bill they have fastened
a force bill of the most dangerous des
criDtion uDon the people."
"What was the general attitude of
the southern press toward yourself and
General Weaver.-"'
"In reporting our meetings tbe press
was vindictively false to a marked de
gree. They carried personal and polit
ical hostility to the bounds of savage
warfare. They sought to incite preju
dice against me by calling me a lanxee
and a disciplo ol John Urown, until l
found it necessary, in order to allay
this prejudice, to ask the chairman of
each meeting to introduce me as an
Irish woman. The fell spirit of slave
holding intolereaoe has found its last
entrenchments in the south and guards
its despotism by that same species of
lawlessness othat brought about tne
frenzy of Sumter and the despair of
Appomattox. To exterminate this
spirit, everv loyal citizen should come
to the rescue, and make the question of
free speech, free vote and ialr count tne
paramount issue of this campaign."
