At 11:50 Smith arrived and os he sppeared on the stage a tremendous ovation was given him. The enthusi asm was not of long duration, how ever, and the crowd settled back to fan with huge palm-leaf fans and await developments. Colonel T. W.

He •aid he Injected no personalities Into his campaign other than thoaa to show his opponent’s position In public mat ters. Howell called. attention to his pub lic career of nineteen years and defied _Bmlth or any one. to ..put.. Anger on a S ngle Instance where he had not voted r the peoples' Interest. “1 Won’t Bids." "If ho can do It; I'll take my medi cine like a man, and put hide behind glittering generalities.” Howell said he was not here to ap- heal to the passions and prejudices of any man, but to reason and Judgment alnne. I only ask that you do not allow ap peals to your prejudice to sway your '•■nscloua. If lyou follow that I hat wo fear, and will abide your verdict without question, and remain a loyal Georgian and Democrat, so help me God." Ha said he la now and has always been against disfranchisement. The only difference between hlmaelf and Kmlth was that Howell has ndt changed and Smith changed to eult hla convenience.

"Just wait: I’ll tell you. You How ell men he fair. Your man's here; let him apeak for himself,” replied Smith. Much more confusion occurred while Smith was speaking, hut It appeared to be more the enthusiasm of his fol lowers than any effort of Howell’s, friends to yell him down. ‘If Howell can prove that there are more negroes In school In Georgia than whites I will put up 5500 with him. for Miss Berry's School," declared the speaker. When Smith said that the Virginia man Howell told about being disqual ified was a Northern man and a teach er In a negro school, the crowd yelled. “He'asks me to discuss hla record. I'll do it. I defy him to name a single bill he Introduced in the general as sembly In the Interest of the people." He then asked Howell If he didn’t work for Calhoun against John B. Gordon. He said that while he did not make the charge, he had ; letters to prove that he did. As the debate proceeded the aisles filled until probably 1,200 were In- the house. About 10 ladles were present.

Greater enthusiasm marked the ap, plause aa Smith proceeded but the crowd appearantly was pretty well dl vlded between the candidates. "I have felt unkindly to Howell for statements he has made misrepresent' Ing me," said Smith, but have done I so much I have come to the conclusion that It la simply a lack of Informa tion.” If any ahtfde of preponderance In sentiment marked the Joint debate, waa for Smith, tii.iugii ."nsenrmtf people Insist that the audience was about evenly divided. Smith said If lie was governor he would demand the removal of Joo Brown and favor the removal of War ner Hill from the railroad commission, concluding: "I make thla race against you all four and undertake to beat the field.” This defiance called forth an ovation lasting several minutes. Howell wrote nut an agreement con, cernlng hi* statements as to the North Carolina law, effective January 1, 1*05, disqualifying voters not passing the educational test.
