Gandor compels the Hoke Smith sup
porters to admit that Howell did not
have fair treatment ut the debate.
The Sandersviile spirit? Look at those
County fair subscriptions and you have
a definition of it. That what it means.
Such disgraceful scenes as were en
acted at the Atlanta debate could not
have occurred in Washington county
A Tennille man says the car line can be
built by folks over there. Of course, it
can. But let many join in the move
ment from here.
It may be unappreciative for a guest
to complain at his treatment; but there
is a limit even to the rule that a guest
Bhould not complain.
Sewerage? Of course Sandersviile nan
have sewerage. Who is against having
Sewerage? Where does he live? And
what is his name?
Send in your subscipton to the mon
ument fund. Let it not be said that
Washington county is an ungrateful
and unworthy county.
The County Fair? It has just taken
a back seat listening to Sandersville’s
great Chautauqua. But we will hear
from the Fair.
Sandersviile wants the next meeting

Well, here’s our vote.—Walton Trib
une. Thank you, Bro. Camp.
We are just waiting for the Friday
and Saturday programs. The on 3 today
is just what we wanted and they say
Friday and Saturday are still better.
Judge Russell made eight speeches
in Ooweta county Monday and Tues
day. If the judge hasn’t a daily paper
supporting him he is getting a hear
ing, That must be what the wag
would call “speaking some.”
S THERE NOTHING TO IT?
Colonel Bryan appears to be regarded
as entirely sate and sane now .although
he has not changed his views as to
what constitutes true democracy. The
Country has simply evoluted up to his
breadth of statesmanship.—Ex.
Chairman Reuben Arnold's regrets
that Clark Howell was not treated as
decently ns he assured Chairman Hop
kins he would be, were lost in trans
mission through the mails. If found,
please Bend to The Atlanta Journal.
If Hoke Smith campaign buttons
were only redeemable like tobacco tags,
then poor Dick Russell might yet be
come a rich man. It is said that he
get them in great numbers everywhere
he goes. And just think of it, he can
keep on getting them until away next
August.—Villa Rica Star.
We want Clark Howell to meet
Smith in joint debate but never again
AB the guest of a Hoke Smith club.
Noproofofit, but it appeared from
Borne circumstantial evidence to have
been a complete "put-up-job.” At
Any rate, Howell’s friends had no right
to violate the invitation by attempting
to keep order.
Even the, Augusta Herald noticed
that there was great disorder at the
Bmith-Howell debate and is candid
enough to remind the public that the
Hoke Smith club guaranteed to keep
order, when refusing Mr. Howell’s re
/floest that his friends be allowed the
/privilege of sharing the responsibility
Of keeping order.

The commencement sermon by Dr
John E. White, of Atlanta, showed
him indeed to be one of the South’s
ablest preachers. It was a masterful
F iresentation of the lessons of his text
orceful, eloquent and pleasing. We
doubt if Sandersviile people ever had
the privilege of hearing a more pleas
ing speaker or a more powerful ser
mon.
The Atlanta Georgian’s report
er who wrote up the Smith-Howell
joint debate in Atlanta is to be
congratulated for being candid
enough to say in a paper more
favorable to Mr. Smith than any
other candidate Bomething about
the debate that should be known
to Georgians, and in view of the
fact that the people not only ex
pected the truth about the debate
from the Georgian ; but the whole
truth, it is a matter of regret to
us, that the Georgian’s reporter
was not observant enough to see
some other things about this de
bate which it did not publish, for
we believe that the editor of the
Georgian sincerely wishes to give
Mr. Howell a fair deal, even
though the policy of the paper
shall lie to aid Mr. Smith’s can
didacy; and the policy of the pa
per seems to be fair to Mr.Howell.
The Georgian correctly states
that Mr Howell’s reception by
the crowd was a rousing one ami
that u greater demonstration was
made when he entered the hall
than when Mr. Smith came m.
The Georgian correctly states
in effect that as many as 200
Smith supporters evidently came
with the purpose of preventing
Mr. Howell having a fair hearing
and to prevent his being heard at
all, and it might lmvc added with
equal truth that for one whole
hour of Mr. Howell’s speech these
two hundred succeeded well and
that they kept up such a noise
and made such an uproar that not
more than one third of the audi
ence could hear for their shouts
and disgraceful conduct any part
of the first hour of Mr. Howell
speech and it might have as can
didly stated that net a fair mind
ed supporter of Mr. Smith who
was present considered that Mr
Ilowell was given a fair opportu’
nity and that no fair Smith sup
porter present felt otherwise than
disappointed and ashamed that
Mr. Howell was treated with such
disrespect in a Hoke Smith meet
ing, where the Hoke Smith Fill
ton County Club had denied Mr
Howell’s friends request that
they be allowed the simple privi
lege of aiding in maintaining or
der, paying half the expenses and
sharing equally the responsibility
of maintaining order in the hall.
The Georgian’s reporter had he
been more observant would have
kuow’n that after Mr. Howell had
spoken for more than forty min
utes and it become apparant that
two hundred men were there for
the purpose of preventing a fair
chance to Mr. Howell and when
it become apparent that no addi
tional officers or police would
come to help to restore order, that
large numbers of Mr. Howell’s
friends left the hall in disgust at
their treatment as guests and that
when he concluded and Mr. Smith
began his closing speech, large
numbers of the friends of both
candidates left the hall as a pro
test to the treatment Mr. Howell
had received. The Georgian
might have stated that it was im
possible but for few of Mr. How
ell’s friends to hear the first hour
of his speech and that the Hoke
Smith Club, while it w r as plain
that they sincerely regretted it at
the time, it is nevertheless true
that Mr. Howell w’as not treated
with fairness and respect and on
that account the discussion did
not have the dignity and fairness
of a joint debate.
It might have been added that
the debate was, on this account
disappointing to Mr. Smith’s
friends w’ho were fair and who be
lieve in fairness.
We are not making an attack
upon The Georgian. We believe
in The Georgian, but we mention
this paper because it occupies
such a position in the campaign
and at that we regret its incom
plete report.
The Constitution is supporting
Mr. Howell and Mr. Howell was
a guest of the Smith Club at the
debate. That paper, therefore,
can not complain as it might of
the disgraceful conduct of the 200
at the auditorium. No one ex
pected The Journal to be fair aud
candid enough to give the facts,
The Atlanta News had the cour
age to partly give the facts, but
seemingly feared it might uuduly
offend.
The joint debate in Atlanta did
not Bpeak well for Atlauta. It
was a source of regret to all con
cerned, none more than Smith’s
supporters. It was the scene of
disgraceful conduct and discourte
ous treatment of guests, who had
been assured that order would be
had at all hazards.
During Mr. Smith’s speech he
was given a splendid reception,
just such & one as Hov/ell had in
the beginning from his friends.
But we are sure that Mr. Smith
gained uo vote at such a meeting
A friend jestingly remarked to
the editor that we were inclined to
‘promote” things there is
nothing in. We at least, given to
those things we promote. And
selfishness cannot be said to
prompt us. But is there nothing
in Chautauquas, County Fairs,
colleges and monuments to true
and good men? Is there nothing
in sewerage for our city and health
of our families? Is everything
to be measured by the cold stand
ard of money, even granting that
they will not, some of them, bring
money returns? But our friend
was referring particularly to the
efforts of the writer to secure
funds for the erection of a college
in Sandersviile and lie spoke of
the matter as if it were to be a
failure. But, is it? We will not
believe it. If this generation of
prosperous people of Washington
county will not build a college, our
friend will see the tiny when our
efforts will bear fruit. There
will bo raised up a generation
loyal enough to their county’s in
terests and true enough to their
children and their neighbors
children to build it.
Education is the crying needof
the white children of Georgia
Thirty-two per cent of the white
lildren between 0 and 14 years
were not in school in Georgia at
the last census while the per cent-
age among the negro children of
the same age increased during tin
same years twenty per cent. And
why? For the simple reason
that there was no money (present,
returns) in sending them to
school. And the percentage of
young white men and women with
a college education, such an edu
cation as a young man, or a young
woman needs now and worse u
the coming years is so small that
a mathematical calculation
necessary to figure it out, Why’;
Because parents rob them of tiie
opportunity, saying there is noth
ing in it.
The stockholders in one enter
prise in Sandersviile make the
proud, and true boast that they
are worth nearly a million and a
half dollars, just a few men—oth
ers could do the same, perhaps
or nearly, and Washington county
boasts of thirty thousand people
half of them are white and boasts
of wealth in the hundred millions
and no higher institution of learn
ing for the children, bone of their
bone and flesh of their llesh.
Can we boast that we have no
college. Is there any citizen who
does not confess with shame that
we haven’t one because it would
not pay?
You men who are scrambling
for money and property for your
children, if you will turn the
pages of your memory back to
your college days, you will re
member that those young men,
who had money, wasted their op
portunities, spent their money in
excesses and misspent their lives,
in nearly every instance. What
pays? Who is to be the judge of
the question, will a college pay?
We are content to let grateful
future generations be the judges,
if it comes and are willing to leave
the question as between our ef
forts for the college and the peo
ple’s refusal to build to your own
children, who in after years will
feel that we tried to do better for
them than their own parents did.

andthat no one regrets more the
Atlanta debate and the scenes en-!
acted there than Mr. Smith.
The hoots and howls and dis
graceful conduct was not caused I
by anything Mr. Howell said, but
by lack of proper teaching in the
younger days of the 200, and lack
of knowledge of what courtesy I
and fairness requires and lack of |
adequate police protection.
The Atlanta debate will be re-1
membered with mingled regret
and disgust by the fair minded
men who heard it—regardless of |
who they are supporting.
