DEBATE AT COLUMBUS DIFFERED IN TACTICS Boh Mr. Smith and Mr. Howell Changed Their Themes Almost Entirely When They Met Friday Night. By WIDEMAN LEE. r ijK Atlanta Joint debate was pret ty warm, but It didn't compare with the Columbus affair, by the ,lde of which it was tome. There were possibly fifty people In the audience a t the Peachtree auditorium Friday n l g ht who were also present at tho rprinier opera house, in Columbus, on januiry 10, when Clark Howell and jjolte Smith met for their first Joint debatt of the gubernatorial campaign. Those who saw both debates, for there -as oi much In the sight as In what „. as pally heard, pronounced the At lanta lebatc much tamer than the first meetii*. Expriencc Is a great teacher—and Clark Howell and Hoke Smith both ihow* Friday night that they had nrofitJ by their experience In Colum bus. Mr. Smith deviated moro from bis inner course than did .Mr. Howell. In IB Columbus debate, Mr. Smith dhoit for fully a half hour on the rall- roatflng, which he declared was dom- Inaid by Hamilton McWhorter, Al ter Howell and Clark Howell. His (alignment of these throe men was se <re, and he forsook the Issues of t b campaign to Indulge In vlllflca- tl. of them. Friday night, the ab- „ce of any such "argument" was cisplcuous to those who had heard J. Smith’s Columbus address. Mr. ;ilth dwelt nt length In his Colum- ls speech on Clark Howell's official j-eer, producing books and records. Mrh he said contained things which ould surprise the people of the state, lie Atlanta Constitution tvaa bitterly -pudlated, tod. A feature of the Atlanta debate that as a repetition of the former contest as the remark of Mr. Smith to the fleet that the Clark Howell men /e/e.yelllng because they didn’t want to l r the charges against him. The mat r In which it was said was ex act! is It had been in Columbus, and effe ve in both instances. Both Were Cooler Here. , A er played an. Important part In the olumbus debate, for both eandl dat lost their temper, though Mr. Ho H was by far the cooler of the tw nen. After sitting quietly for an ho listening to charges against him wt i must have msde his blood boll— an Hd wilt his collar down before he ev] arose to address the audience— mltn Jumped up, his face white, of perspiration on his massive . lead, on which the veins were riding out like whl|>cordB, his body idering with anger, his entire being tiembodlmcnt of rage, and from the word he uttered until his clos- remark at the close of an hour and alf, he Indulged In such merciless roach, such bitter repudiation of all : his adversary had said, that lie wed keenly Ms bitter personal ha rt of the man who had charged him th Inconsistencies of every nature, was a personaF attack that ho made Mr. Howell, such rs Mr. Howell, a part of his Atlanta speech, mode Mr. Smith. There was very little rgument on either side In that debate t Columbus, for those candidates had no much against each other to take Ime to discuss anything In which the [people were interested. They were having It out. Msny Subjects Dropped. In Mr. Howell's Columbus speech, he devoted a major portion of his time to the alleged deal between Hoke Smith and Tom Watson. He pictured In words that left nothing to the Imag ination -the merciless be'.-uyol of the Democratic party by Hokc'Smlth. He read letters from dlffcrem men to bear ont „ ebargea and the celebrated Sid ney Tapp epistle did create quite the sensation of the debate. Tom Watscn Mr. Howell’s theme, while the Piedmont bar was not mentioned. The freight bureau Incident figured in both debates. Then another charge against Mr. Smith which Mr. Howell made, and by which be meant to show that his ad versary's position on the race’question was wholly Inconsistent, was the Blsh- ou Turner family Affair. 'He. produced records from the government; he read official reports; all to show that Hoke Smith had favored the negro while In Washington. This part of Mr. How ell's Columbus address consumed much time. Issues were totally disregarded by both candidates, for they had It In for each other, and it lm.l to come out, which It did not fall to do. Contempt and ridicule were rampant with both Mr. Howell and Mr. Smith. No Votes Msde at Columbus, Neither of the candidates at the Co lumbus debate made votes, wise poll Melons said. They Interested their hearers Just ns a bull fight would have done, for It was a battle of words —which each looked os if he would like to change Into some more formidable weapon. The Columbus debate was held in the opera house of that city, and there were seats to spare—In fact, the gallery was not one-tenth full, though the other two floors were packed. There were not more than 1,200 people in the opera house, and of these, each candidate had about half. The order was as far ahead of that at the debate Friday night as could be Imagined. Both candidates were given a respect ful hearing, though there was much of the bolcterous "Hurrah for Smith!" and "Hurrah for Howelli" from row dies, who had no thought other than to create disorder for their own amuse ment and the discomfort of those about them. The fact that tho chief of po lice of Columbus, Wiley Williams, stood at one corner of the stage fac ing the crowd no doubt had much to do with the excellent order, for It was excellent compared to that of Friday night, and there were no ejections. Both candidates were heard perfect ly in every part of the opera-house, and Mr. Howell's voice was not s.rnln- cd and broken, as It waa In the Atlanta debate. A Dog Fall at Columbus. The Columbus vlltfl-Jolllficatlon was a dog folj. All conservative men com sldered It so, for the Issues were not discussed—only mentioned en passant. Many of those who went to the Colum bus debate unbiased came away with the feeling that they would be afraid to vote for either candidate If half of the charges made agalnut him by the other should have any truth In them. In Atlanta, with a house which was two-thirds his, Hoke .Smith, who re ceived a perfect henetng, came out a decided victor over Clark Howell, who. speaking under the disadvantage of a voice Inadequate to tho acoustics of the auditorium, as well as to over come tho noises made by the ever present rowdy, did not have a favora ble opportunity to present his case, hnd he cared to Indulge In a discussion of the Issues of the campaign.

NEWMAN The following resolutions of sym pathy for Judge W. T. Newman and family In the recent death of Mrs Lucy Rucker have been drawn up by the committee appointed from tho United States grand Jury for tho spring term: The call from the physical existence to that of the spiritual has been an swered by another noble life. In the person of Mrs. Lucy Rucker, the daughter of our honored and upright Judge W. T. Newman. There Is causo for congratulation, as well as grief, that his life as s father and his noble family’s should have known and touch ed one so beautiful and enriching. The cause for grief Is that she should have been so soon removed from a sphere where usefulness, such as she had rendered, was so much needed. And yet the Father of us all knows when a life Is ripe, and, therefore, when to put that life Into another place where It can do more than It could have done here. Be It resolved, First, That we extend to tho father and the rest of the family our sincere and heartfelt symptthy In this tbelr dark hour of bereavement; and we know that He vjho took the life will give that strength and guidance that they may need; Resolved, second. That a copy of thess resolutions be published In the K pars of Atlanta, and that ths family furnished with the same. ST. ELMO MA88ENGALE, ROBERT M. ORMOND, HARRY L. SCHLESINOER.
