SMITH, IN SPEECH DEMANDED BY STORMING CROWD “I will serve until December as gov ernor, to gratify those who want me to serve." So declared Hoke Smith, governor of Georgia. United States senator-elect, from the top of a settee in the ante room of the executive office a few min utes after the ballots were counted which made him United States senator. A tremendous crow’d surged down through the corridors of the capitol Immediately after the result of the election was announced, and descended upon the governor's offlca Among them were many members of eacn house of the legislature. The major ity were unofficial citizens. Women were among them, and children. They stormed the governor's office, and almost bodily lifted Governor Smith out of his chair and hauled him into the anteroom. There they de manded a speech, and since the gover nor could not reach the militia at the moment, he being hemmed in by a sol id wall of people, he capitulated. The speech was an extemporaneous masterpiece. Governor Smith maue the announcement quoted first above. He told w’hy he entered the race for governor in opposition to Joseph M. Brown. He told what he believes is held by Georgia's future. 1 Here is a synopsis of Governor Smith’s speech: Governor Smith expressed his appreci ation for his election and also his ap preciation of the manifestation of ap proval by those present. When he entered the race for governor a year ago, he did so with great reluc ance and only after his successor had announced in his message to the legis lature his purpose to repeal, if possible, many of the reform measures passed in 1907 and 1908, and also after members of the legislature, who in 1909 and 1910 had stood against the repeal of the reform rot Jnl Y IS* 9 Ohron. 3311-80. BY 2m. 3KABXOX McK. ZnfXdb. Golden Text: "Ceaao to do evil; learn to do weU." Xsa. 1:1C, 17. Hezekiah had been the best king Ju dah had known. He had brought them back from idolatry to the warship of Jehovah, and had instituted reforms that made for the unllft of the kingdom. He had an illness which looked as if it would prove fatal; in fact, Isaiah told him to set his house in order, for he should die and not live. This distressed Hezekiah greatly; he had no son to suc ceed him, and the throne would have to go to the nearest relative. Hezekiah was not willing that this should be so, and he prayed that God would spare his life, pleading all that he had done ■s an argument in his favor. God gra ciously granted this request, and told him he should live 15 years longer, giv ing him a sign when he required it (in stead of simply believing God) by set ting back the shadow ten degrees on the dial of Ahaz. It was a great mistake on Hezekiah’s part to try to Interfere with God's plans; for those 16 years were very disastrous. Three years later Manasseh was born, who undid all that Hezekiah had done. Prior to that the king of Assyria had sent messengers to him and he had shown them all the treasures of his house, which Isaiah denounced, telling him that for this his people should go to Babylon. It would have been far better for Hezekiah to have submitted to God's will and not have been so anx ious for his own son to succeed him. MANASSEH'S REIGN OF TERROR. Finally the 15 years of grace were end ed and Hezekiah, the best king Judah had ever had, died. His 12-year-old son, Manasseh, succeeded him. There was In Judah, and had been for many years, a "small party composed of some of the more influential men, who were always In favor of making alliances with the stronger nations. Egypt or Asy ria, on either side of them. They were naturally not spiritually minded and leaned easily toward the religious cus toms of these countries as toward every thing else these people did. They were a constant menace to the religious life of Judah. Hezekiah had kept them down, but now that the boy Manasseh was on the throne, they probably gained some influence over him. It was not hard to make him a thorough convert to the li centious worship of the heathen deities, and he plunged with all the Intensity of youth into the Maelstrom of idolatry. All that his father had done he undid. Hezekiah had destroyed the high places; he built them again. Hezekiah had tak en away the graves, or Asherab, the Venuses with all the degrading deeds her worship demanded; Manasseh built and instituted these again. His father had restored the worshap of Jehovah In the temple and had cut down the heathen altars therein; Manasseh built altars in its courts, used the temple for the worship of Baal, and even had a carved image of himself placed there to be worshipped. He went further than this, for he made his own son pass through the fire in the worship of the hosts of heaven; he consulted witches, used fortune tellers, and encouraged soothsayers. It is said of him by Jo sephus that he murdered a prophet ev ery day. It was by his command that Isaiah was killed. He had probably warned him of his son and its conse quences. had pleaded with him to return to Jehovah. Manasseh in anger ordered him sawn asunder. Time and again God pleaded with him, but he would not hear Him; he contin ued his life of idolatry and cruelty for 21 years, until God arrested him in his evil course. No king of Judah had been so wicked as The king of Assyria took him captive to Babylon. Here is one of those little things that Is very important.

He stated that he felt sure the ma consent to lead the fight again for gov office and told him that unless he would jorlty of the present legislature was In sympathy with the reform legislation of 1907 and 1908 and that, therefore, that legislation was not now in danger. He said but one measure had failed of passage. It was the anti-lobby law and he felt sure it would speedily become a law. \ He said there "were other measures of a constructive character, especially with reference to the finances of the state, in which he was deeply Interested and that after examining the decisions of the United States senate applicable to the term of service of a senator holding under an appointment from the govern or, he was sure that Senator Terrell's term of service, would not expire until his own commission was sent to the senate, and that he did not expect Ns commission to be furnished to the senate until the December session of the »en >at«- Senator Terrell would, therefore, be in a position to represent the state in the senate until that time and that he expected to remain In his present office until a period approaching the time of the next regular session of congress. He expressed his hope that nothing would be done or said to cause unpleas 'ant feelings among Georgians; that we were all Georgians, earnestly seeking the welfare of the state and that it should be our policy to co-operate with each other and to hold up each other’s hand, not to seek to destroy but to support every Georgian who was endeavoring to serve the state and to bring about the best Interests of the great body of our citizens. king of Assyria at that time, had moved the seat of his kingdom from Nineveh, . whe¥e all the other kings of Assyria had it, to Babylon. Ho was the only king of Assyria who did have his seat there, 1 for his successor transferred It back to Nineveh. The accuracy of the Bible, seen like this in so many places in mere ref i erences, is one of the strong evidences of its Inspired origin. MANASSEH’S CONVERSION. The Cholden has a very interesting 1 account of Manasseh’s imprisonment in Babylon. It says that in Babylon he was placed inside a brasen mule in whose 1 body numerous holes had been bored; a ' fire was built under It, and it was the intention to slowly torture Manasseh to deat4 It was then that he cried to God In penitence. It gives his prayer which is referred to In Chronicles, which is a prayer of deep confession and peni -1 tence, and an earnest expression of his desire to restore wha-t he had destroyed. Whether this story Is absolutely true or not, we do not know, but it is true that Manasseh was liberated and re stored to his throne. 4 That of itself is one of the most remarkable things in I history, for it was very unusual, i MANASSEH’S REFORMATION. It is probable that he was not in Bab i ylon very long. In that case he reigned for about 34 years longer. During this time he made every effort possible to unda his evil. He destroyed the image of himself he had placed in the temple. He cut down the Asherah; he removed the altars; he restored the worship of Jehovah; he offered offerings. He went so far as to command Judah to serve Jehovar; and he set them the example of doing all he could to show that his heart was obedient to Jehovah. His efforts were only partially suc cessful; the people were not wholly turned back to the simple worship of Jehovah. In the last 34 years of his reign he could not wholly eradicate the sni of the first 21 years. There are some impressive truths in the story of Manasseh that we will Jo well to ponder. Undoubtedly his conver sion was ultimately the result of the In fluence of his godly father’s life during his boyhood, and of his mother’s teach ing. Man, let your lift b« right; your boy may wander, but your righteous life may be the ultimate m4ans of bringing him back. No man wants his boy to do wrong; then do right yourself. Manasseh could' not wipe out in 34 years of righteousness the sin ot 21 years previous. How absurd it Is for any man to think as some do that they can turn over a new leaf by doing right save themselves! They can never do It; can never wipe out the sin of one hour thougli they should live perfectly holy 1,000 years. But here's the glory of it; when they come peniently to Jesus, His blood can wash away all their sin no matter how deep It has been; their sub sequent life of rightness can show Him their appreciation of His great pur chase. Man, that sin of yours may not have been Mannasseh's but you need a Sa viour just the same.

July 12.—Representa tive Howard received a telegram Tuesday morning from Fred J. Paxon, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, protesting against the retaining of the two Atlanta regiments at San Antonio, Tex. The telegram reads: "Atlanta is ex tremely anxious to have the 17th infant ry ordered back from San Antonio to Atlanta. We are reliably informed that the division there Is being broken up, and all troops except regiments, two of which, the 11th cavalry from Fort Ogle thorpe, and the 17th Infantry from Fort McPherson, are being left behind for an indefinite period. San Antonio already has a permanent garrison of three regi ments of soldiers and there is no reason why Atlanta should be deprived of her regiment in order to benefit San An tonio. "There Is no longer any necessity for the troops remaining there, and as oth er regiments have been ordered home we particularly desire these to return to Atlanta." Immdlately upon receipt of this tele gram Mr. Howard called on Adjutant General Ainsworth, who upon Investi gation, assured him that the 17th regi ment or some othet; full regiment would be returned to Fort McPherson from San Antonio. Mr. Howard was informed by the ad jutant general that the 17th, 10th and 28th Infantries and the 11th cavalry are to be retained for the present at San Antonio, a brigade to take the place of the man euvers division. This is deemed expedi ent by the adjutant general for the pres ent on account of the recent upleasant ness in Mexico, which has not all been settled. Last spring Representative Howard re ceived requests from the regimental com mander at Atlanta urging upon the necessity for an appropriation of SIOO,OOO for the erection of a new hospital at Fort McPherson. This morning Mr. Howard called the attention of the officials at the war department to the fact that if they did not intend to keep troops there It would be a useless and foolish expendi ture of money. The department assured the Atlanta representative that there would never be less than a full regiment maintained at Fort McPherson, except/bn extraordinary occasions, such as the present, necessitat ing the temporary removal of the troops. CLEVER JEWEL CROOKS ROB NEW YORKERS NEW YORK, July 12.—A clever pair of crooks who have robbed jewelers In cities throughout the United States of many thousands of dollars by substi tuting cheap rings for those containing valuable diamonds, have just paid New York a second visit. This time they stayed only long enough to pawn a ring and write a let ter to a jewelry trade journal. The letter told Os their operations, boasted that they were too clever for the de tectives and enclosed the pawn ticket for the ring which the writer said was stolen from a Jersey City jeweler. The editor of the paper sent a man to in vestigate and It was learned that a ring worth $250 had been stolen from the jeweler named, although he did not know that he had been robbed until questioned. In a previous letter written to the same journal, the two crooks boasted that they had robbed 138 retail jewel ers by the same tricks during the last two months and had obtained more than S2OO a day from their operations.

Hit Kind You Han Always Bought RECIPROCITY DETAINS ATTENTION OF SENATORS LaFollette Is Free for a Long Talk and Others Will Follow (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. July 12.—A probability for a move for a final vote on the Canad ian reciprocity bill the minute the senate finds itself without a speaker is forcing speech making on that side of the capitol. There was no program today except continuance of the consideration of the reciprocity' bill, and Senators Bristow, of Kansas, and Borah, of Idaho, Insurgents, were possible speakers. The situation that developed yesterdaj when Senator Bailey, of Texas. Demo crat, held the floor for several hours to carry out an admitted promise to Senator ‘ LaFollette, of Wisconsin, Republican in surgent, with whose anti-reciprocity views the Texan is aligned, to keep talking if necessary to head off a vote until Mr. LaFollette is ready with his long address and amendments, has stirred several to expedite the delivery of their expected addresses, for which they were unpre pared yestrday. Mr. LaFollette expects to proceed with in a day or two, and early adjournment seems more likely than ever. The house meets today, but has no regularly scheduled business to transact. MERCURY NEEDS COOLING. Senators marooned in the heated capi tol by reciprocity today felt the loss of a hitherto faithful frievd that had daily assured them that it was "hot enough for them.” When they sought to consult the official temperature machine kept in a glass ease back of the senate chamber, they found on the stand, where the machine had for days marked the progress of the hot wave, this t nncuncemei t: "The temperature has gone so hign that th<; self-recording thermometer re fuses to register, and the machine has been put in cold storage for a few days to reduce its temperature and to regain its normal condition." The Democratic intra-party debate of yesterday, in which Senators Bailey, of Texas, and Williams, of Mississippi, went back through the party annals to prove what they contended to be the true Democratic tariff policy, found an echo in the opening of the senate debate on the Canadian reciprocity bill today.
