SMITH'S RECORD ON NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT To the Editor of The Georgian: Enclosed please find ti copy of my answer to on editorial from The At lanta Journal of Its Issue of the l$th Inst. Please publish It In The GeorglanJ Tours very respectfully, JAMES M. SMITH. Bmlthsonla, Ga., July 24, 1905. To The Atlanta Journal: On my return home I find n clipping] of your editorial from your Issue of July 1», which was sent me by a friend, In which you charge me with being op posed to disfranchisement of the ne gro and white supremacy, and In favor of one of the Atlanta rings. This edi torial appears to be based on a letter written to The Journal by P. M.l Cheney, I have not seen P. M. Cheney’a let ter because the Issue of The Journal of the ltth Inst, failed to reach me, which | I regret. I have been a constant reader and I subscriber to The Journal atnea It was established. Tbe constitution and laws of the state do not permit any one to be con victed .without a hearing. Tou will, therefore, please allow me to briefly atate In the columns of your valuable paper my side of the case. In mi Oglethorpe county was rep- resented In the legislature by n negro I did everything I could to prevent this but did not succeed. At the next legis lative election It was resolved by the Democrats of Oglethorpe county, that such should not occur again. Captain John C. Reed, then u worthy and valu able outsort of Oglethortw county, now likewise such a cltlsen of Atlunta, pre vailed on the sheriff of Oglethorpe County to appoint fifty deputy sheriffs to be on hand during the three days’ election which was held In 1170. At that time Oglethorpe county contained nearly four thousand negro and leas than one thousand white votera. On the second day of the election at least three thousands negro voters. In solid phalanx, approached the court bouse door with the Intention of taking possession of the polls and electing negroes to the legislature again. When the head of the negro column reached the doorsteps. Captain Reed and his fifty deputies met them. Captain Reed, standing on th* court bouse doorsteps, between rhe negroes and the ballot box, surrounded by his deputies, pulled his watch from Ills pocket, and holding It open In lit* hand, said: •This la a w hite man's country. The white man must and shall rule, or per ish In the attempt. I will now give you negroes and your white nllles three minutes In which to disperse; other wise I will not be responsible for re sults.” These three minute* were critcnl ones. Every one stood silent and half breathless, not knowing whether at the end of these three minutes peace or war, life or death, would ensue. The negroes and their allies sudden ly broke ranks and walked away. Two white Democrats were elected to the legislature, and negro rule In Ogle thorpe county, In these brief three min utes, was broken and white supremacy established. It has stood from that day to this without Interruption, a period of more than thirty-six years. Since that day no negro has ever held any office or served on a Jury In Oglethorpe county. 1 was one of Captain John C. Reed's deputies. Mr. P. 51. Cheney was not. "Where was Roderick then?" His politics at that time was doubt, ful or unknown. It the white people had displayed the same patriotism and courage In other states of the South, the story of recon ttructlon would have been cut short. Even the heat of a political campaign does not Justify or excuse a white man In Georgia, even at this late a day. In chnrglng Captain John C. Reed, or nny of hla deputies, with being opposed to white supremacy. The younger generations know but Ilttlo of the trial! und dangers through which white Degiocruts passed In the days of reconstruction. This Is only one Instance of many others where white Democrats staked their Uvea and liberties to restore snd enthrone white supremacy. All four of my opponents combined, with Mr. P. M. Cheney thrown In for good measure, have never done more, If so much. In behalf of white su premacy aa was done on that day. Shame on any man tvho will write disparagingly of the Democrats of re Construction days. Beginning with 1875 I was a member of the general assembly of Georgia for about ten consecutive years. Every lime 1 was elected I first submitted my candidacy to a white Democratic pri mary. 1 have never been a candidate for any office without my nomination being first submitted to a white Dem ocratic primary. Since the day the negro was first tn- franchtsed, and continuously up to this time. I have never had nny political In terest, or any other Interest, causing mo to favor the negro as a voter. I never cast n vote n» a member of the Democratic executive committee, or In any othar capacity. In favor of allow ing the negro to vote. I am In no way responsible for wlmt a majority of the Democratic executive committee nt dif ferent times may or may not have done. I was not a member of the Democratic state executive committee at the time named by you. If Mr. P. M. Cheney, yourself, or any of the other candidates for governor, will do as much ns I have done toward helping the white man to rule this atate for the past forty years; then I will take pleasure In congratulating you. Pour years ago I votsd against what waa then termed the "railroad ring." How many and who of the present can didates for governor did the same thing? How many nnd who of the pres ent candidates for governor voted for the candidate whom sums of them now term "the railroad ring candidate r' Produce the evidence. If you c showing any lennlng whntever on my part, at any time, toward "ring rule,” the railroads or corporations, or Clark Howall, or negro domination. Such assertions without evldancs to sustain them are wholly unfair and un justifiable. In becoming a candidate for gover nor, I am doing Just what Hon.
