Happenings in Georgia.
The "Daily Papers," and not
Hoke Smith, Charged with
Responsibility for Scaring
Capital away from Georgia
?Other Matters of Interest.
Ed. Lancaster News : These
"post-mortem" explanations of
election results are about as
supertiuous as some ot the "hot
air" campaigns before the elec
tion, but sometimes a fellow
ventures an explanation and
about the same time something
"bobs up" which brings on
"more talk". For instance, in
the same issue of The News containing
our explanation of what
caused the recent defeat of Gov.
Hoke Smith, there appeared an
extract from the Augusta Chron
icle in reference to efforts of
Mr T. M Fitzpatriek to finance
a big scheme, and his failure, so
far as getting financial assistance
from New York was concerned,
because Hoke Smith was gover~
t n 5
uur ui vreorgia. inow, we do
not doubt the truth of the statement
made by Mr. Fitzpatrick,
nor do we say that every man is
not entitled to his own opinion as
\ to the condition of affairs iu
Georgia, but we do say that it is
the honest opinion of the writer
and thousands of others in Geor
gi?, that what lack of confidence
in Georgia there existed among
the money powers of New York,
was caused by the Augusta Chronicle,Macon
Telegraph and other
daily papers, under the alleged
control of the railroads, and not
by Hoke Smith. We will cite
one instance to bear us out in
what we say. Mr. Jordan Massee
and others of this city were
promoting a scheme identical
with one promoted by Mr. Fitzpatrick,
and involving the ex
penditure of quite the 6arae
amount or mouev. Like Mr.
Fitzpatrick, they were unable
to carry out their plans, without
financial assistance irom else.

Bought assistance in New York.
When they applied to these capitalists
for assistance they refused,
saying they would not invest
money in Georgia on account
of Lloke Smith. Mr. Mas
f see asked them what caused them
/ /V to have such fears and they
replied "the Georgia daily papers'1
Mr. Massee then suggest
ed that they allow their attor
ney to accompany them back to
Atlanta, appear with them be
tore the governor and the railroad
commission, and if the terms
and conditions were not entirely
satisfactory to all parties concerned,
they would have no more
to eav. The suggestion was accepted
and the promoters returned
to Atlanta accompanied by
the attorney for the "scared fellows"
and they appeared before
the governor and railroad commission,told
them their plaus and
asked them to name the conditions
and terms under which
tney would have to operate.
The terms were entirely satisfactory
to all parties, the attorney
hastened back to New York bearing
tho good news, the assistance
asked for was granted, and a as
result, Mr. Maesee and his associates,
instead of having to wait
for Joe Brown to be elected, lifce

a committee, representing th
