'That'll cheaper than I live now,”

about lib a week actual expenses, and
I've got to cut It down somehow. A

Which leads to the comment that

Hoke Smith's campaign for governor
will be historical, perhaps, in more
ways than one. Since he opened his
campaign over a year ago In Madison
he has spoken In 1)1 counties, and by
the time ho has wound up a day or so
before the primary on August 24, be
will have made the total near 140. In
many of the counties he has spoken
twice or more. Fannin Is the only
county north of Atlanta In which ho
has n«t made a speech. Clayton, Jones
and one or two others north of Macon
have not heard him, rtor has Ogle

Of all the representatives In the
house, of Mr. Covington, of Colquitt,
alone can It be said that everyone In
the house likes to hear him talk. He
has one of the most soothing voices
ever heard In those walls. He Is an
influential member, too.
Mr. Covington Is popular In his own
county and was renominated this year
without opposition. He was Judge of
the city court of Moultrie for a while.
He was graduated from Emory Col
lege In 11*4 and was admitted to the
bar two years later. He Is 17 years
■old.
The gentleman from Colquitt Is the
man mimicked so successfully by Mr.
Flanders, of Johnson. It Is a favorite
amusement with the latter.
Hooper Alexander, the gentleman
from DeKi.ll,, Is one of the most ac
tive members of the house. He Is
heard frequently and at length. ■
Jumped on the railroad commission
with both feet not long ago, and but a
few days after Introduced a resolution
to request the governor to explain a
certain part of his message. He Is
one of the most conscientious mem
bers of the house, and when he takes
a course, loaves nothing undone to run
It to Its end.
Mr. Alexander used to be In the
newspaper business. Soma people say
he attributes his success' In the house
to getting out of the field of Journalism
Into the pasture of polities.

Oreenboro, N. C., July 10.—Thq state
Republican convention convened here
yesterday. The feature of the eeaalnn
was the speech last night of Secretary
of War Taft.
The secretary discussed political con
ditions in the South and expressed the
hope that he white people would di
vide so that there might be two politi
cal parties.
Discussing disfranchisement, the sec
retary said that no law containing the
grandfather clause would ever etand
the test of the United Statee supreme
court, and he further said that any
educational test would operate to dis
franchise whites as wall as nsgroes.
Secretary Taft, In opsnlnc. raid that
when he was Invited to nddresa thla
meeting the committee advised him
that the political sltuatlpn was such
that If the proper effort wae made at
the coming election It would be pooel-
ble to carry tha state for the Republi
can party." The secretary added:
"1 believe that nothing that could
happen In the polltlce In thin country
would work greater advantage to the
country at large and to tho South In
particular than the breaking up of
what has been properly known ns the
‘solid South.' I say this In no partisan
spirit, for I am not one of those who
think that this result would necessari
ly Increase the probability of the con
tinuance In power of the Republican
party ,
"The eolldlty of the South hna In a
measure furnlabed Ita own antidote In
restraining many voters In the North
who might hare left the Republican
party, but for what they regard as the
Injustlco and danger of South,
lltlcnl conditions.
Tho Smith has bstn kept solid by
the specter of negro domination and
by stirring up racial prejudices and
arousing unfounded alarm over an Im
aalblo return of reconstruction days.
'After a long struggle," he added,
‘the negro's vote was made to count
for nothing and than the political lead-
era of the dominant party cama to
realise that dreadful demoralisation of
all society that followed In a govern
ment If taw waa flouted and fraud waa
to constitute Ite basis. They caet about
to make the law Square with existing
conditions by properly and educatlona
qualifications which should exclude the
negro. They adopted amendmenti to
state constitutions with ths so-called
'grandfather clauses' Intended tn apply
the new quallllcatlone to the negro and
not to apply them to the whiles."
He added that thero "was enough of
Independence even nmong those rep
resentatives to give the vote which
mode the ennel possible^ but the very
fnct that morely to accomplish
supposed advantage to the benv
party, a majority of tha senatora of
