From a hint let out by a prominent
and ardent supporter of Hon. Hoke
Smith at the capitol there may be
found the reason why he and his sup-
porters In the legislature did not press
the bill by Representative Rose, of
Upson, to disfranchise the negro at
the session recently closed. This gen
tleman Is prominent in the affairs of
the state, and Is a close personal as
well as political friend of Congress
man Thomas W. Hardwick, of the
Tenth district.
If the hint thrown out by this gen
tleman Is adopted as the policy of
Governor-elect Smith and his follow
ers, It will mean a direct attack upon
the legal enactment of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
This amendment Is as follows:
"The right of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de
nied or abridged by the United States,
or any state, on account of race,
color, or previous condition of servi
tude." >
In speaking of the matter, this ar
dent Smith supporter said: "If Hoke
Smith, after his Inauguration next
June, will send a message to the leg
islature recommending the passage of
a law declaring that Inasmuch as the
fifteenth amendment was never legally
enacted and therefore not binding on
any state of the union, the negro
therefore does not possess, either In
law or morals, any right to the fran
chise, and thereby Is barred as a voter
In this or any other state, just as a
Chinaman, Jap. Mexican or Indian. ■
Test Case Mads.
"The effect of this,” he further said,
"would be that a test case would Im
mediately be carried to the supreme
court of the United States, and I firm
ly believe." he added, “that that court
will declare this fifteenth amendment
Illegally enacted and therefore void."
"Upon yvhat do you base that be
lief?” he was asked.
"The supreme court has already de
cided," he declared, "that the seceding
stntes were never legally out of the
union, that while they rebelled, they
were In point of fact still component
parts of the union.
"That being true, any law passed by
congress submitting an amendment to
the federal constitution to the states
for ratification must be passed by two
thirds of . both houses of the national
congress, and ratified by three-fourths
of the states of the union.
"Now," said he, “It Is a well-known
fact that the South at the time con
gress passed the bill proposing this
fifteenth amendment had no represen
tation whatever In congress. If we
never went out of the Union, as the
supreme court decided, we were still
entitled to this representation, and no
law was valid without a majority vote,
counting the Southern representation,
nor no law proposing an amendment to
this national constitution valid or
binding unless It received the vote of
two-thirds of both houses. Including the
representation due but denied the se
ceding states. As a matter of fact, the
seceding states ,%'ie then In the Union,
but, under the lash of old Thad Ste
vens, were denied representation."
Supreme Court Decision.
The supreme court can not stultify
Itself, In his opinion, and, therefore,
will be forced to hold that this statute
Is not binding on any state whatsover.
"Furthermore," he continued, "the
Journal of the national house shows
that not two-thlrda are recorded as be
ing present the day this amendment
was passed, but that It was rushed
through on a viva voce vote, a clear
violation of the constitution Itself.
“In addition It required three-
fourths of the state legislatures to rati
fy this amendment, and the seceding
states were coerced In this ratification
by the threat that they would not be
given back their status In congress,
unless they did ratify It, and under this
coercion they did so.”
This will put Georgia at the very
forefront of all the Southern states In
forever settling this vexed negro voting
problem, and If the supreme court up
holds this contention, as he believes
they will, It will create more general
comment In this country than the fa
mous Dred Scott decision, rendered be
fore the war.
Considering the gentleman's close po
litical connection with the powers to
be, the question naturally arises. Is
this to be the new policy of the new
governor?

PRODIGAL HUSBAND SUED
ON CHARGE OF BIGAMY
By Private Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 25.—Charles H. Frye,
the former professor at the Chicago
Normal School, who, after an absence
of thirty years, recently returned to
hie wife, gave her |5,000, and told her
to ask no questions, has been arrested
on the charge of bigamy and wife
abandonment. A woman from Hurley,
In South Dakota, swore out the war
rant for his arrest today.
A few days before Frye appeared In
Chicago a lawyer In Hurley, known as
G. P. Goddard, deserted his wife and
family, after converting his property
Into cash. Goddard had become an ac
tive member of the Roman Catholic
church after a short residence In Hur
ley, although before that time he had
been an Episcopalian. He was given
a professorship.in a Catholic college
at Washington, and from the national
capital h& went to the Philippines,
where he remained two years at the
head of the parochial schools.
During hla term as achool teacher
Frye studied law. Eventually he was
admitted to the bar, and became a
partner of Edmund B. Briggs, whom
Mrs. Goddard haa engaged to prosecute
Frye. After two year* In the Philip
pines Fry, nr Goddard, returned to
Hurley and resumed hie law practice.
He took part In pollttca and tried for

Chief Jennings Issues Spe
cial Instructions Follow
ing Criminal Assaults.
The following special order, which
speaks for Itself, was Issued late Fri
day afternoon by Chief Jennings to
the Atlanta police force:
“Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24, 1906.
"Special Order No. 159.
"On account of the frequent assaults
and other crime* which have been
committed In and around the city
recently, the men are directed to re
double their energlea In apprehending
and arresting all loafers, Idlers and
loiterers about the city, and uae every
lawful means to rid the city of all
profligate persons.
(Signed) "HENRY JENNINGS,
"Chief of Police."
Among the officials and callers at
the state capitol, the unique cit
ation In the Third congressional district
was generally discussed Saturday.
The mode of nomination In that dis
trict this year will be entirely different
from that In either of the other ten dis
tricts In the state, and also different
from that of the governor.
In all districts the mode Is to nomi
nate by delegatee from each county to
the convention, with same represen
tation as In the gubernatorial conven
tion.
The executive commute of that dle-
Ict directed that a majority vote of
e entire district should rule In this
Instance, and while Congressman Lewis
has about 800 majority, Hon. Dudley
Hughes haa a majority of counties.
Lewis carried the following counties:
Macon, 405: I’ulaskl, 260: Wilcox, 300:
Doooly, 398: Crisp, 258; Lee, 8.
* Hughes carried the following: Hous
ton, 263: Crawford, 145: Twiggs, 216:
Taylor, 40; Sumter, 50; Webster, 11;
Stewart, 43; Schley, 27.
It waa alao suggested that a uniform
way should be named to nominate can
dldatea. Judges and United States sen
atora In Georgia are nominated by dl
rect vote,' as well as In this one district.
The governor and the other congress
men are dill elected by the people dl
rect.
A gentleman at the capitol who le a
keen observant of the trend of affaire,
thinks that the quoting of Colonel
Hughes as to Indorsing Congressman
Brantlev might have caused the de
flection of several nundred Hoke Smith
votes from tie Hughes’ column.
At any rate, the coming convention
at Macon would do the party a great
service by declaring that all nomina
tions In the future should be made by
direct vote of the people.
