time filled the t.> ns full seating capacity and several were
standing up in the aisles and out on the veranda.
Hon J. j\ Heard, one of ilie recently nominated representatives
of this comity, introduced the speaker in u short address, space and
time foi-nidding details.
Mr. mine need his speech by saying that he was glad to
tie here. He said that h“ believed ill the good old fashioned Jeffer
sonian not inns ..f democracy, which stood out for iiidepeudece of
thought, high character and n great citizenry and was opposed to
the ring and machine politicians Unit were now in control of the
party.
Mr Smith then took up the negro disfranchisement question
which consumed about one-third or more of his time. He said that
he favored ilie Alabama plan best and went on to explain its provis
ions, showing that it was done legally and without disfranchising n
single while man us to an educational qualification.
Said lie. "1 would not advise a law that would take away the
voting privilege of a while man.'’ He went on to state in his re
marks that negroes voted in fence, bond und prohibition elections
and that they were in the majority in 05 counties in the state and by
registering could-rule. He brought up various points in favor of his
disfranchisement proposition mid made it very plain to his hearers.
He then proceeded along the usual lino of urgument against the
hired politicians and corporation domination of legislation which
was oppressive to the masses. He then took up the question of ex
cessive and discriminating freight rut-s allowed mid of the millions
of watered stock a dividend was declared upon. He said he believed
in corporations, Imt favored dealing without special privileges. He
paid liis risqierts to all the candidates in a pleusant. way as well as to
the Mc.Wliorfer-Howell-TVrrell trio.
.Mr Smith discussed the ulledged deal with Watson and rend the
letter of Howell to Watson on a ‘.'business matter” that he couldn’t
write about but which contained, “Dear Tom," and signed, “With
best wishes, cordially and personal regards.” He was greeted with
much applause during his speech and especially when he asked the
q lies ton us to who would they make governor? This wus followed by
shouts of "Hoke Smith” from all over the court house.
He gave his reasons for believiug that the other candidates were
being used by the ring to keep him from getting enough votes to go
in outlie first ballot. He talked of the Piedmont bar interest he
owned without his npprovul and said he would sell if offered what it
wns worth. Time and space forbid our going into every detail. In
shorl. it » as Hoke Smith day and t he crowd of 400 to BOO voters were
largely with him. He visited the school building in the afternoon
and made a talk tot he children. He left on the slioolly south for
his n>-xt appointment.

M. L. Jenson, of the Georgia division
of the Southern Cotton Association,
Will issue about June lit an attractive
little booklet which will contain
Much information of Interest and
value to farmers and business men
all over Georgia. The issue will be
sufficient in number for distribution,
particularly among the farmers, in
every county in the state. ,
This booklet will deal with the
history of the marketing of the cotton
crop for tlie lost twenty-five years,
the organization and purposes of and
results accomplished by the Southern
Cotton Association, what may yet be
accomplished by organization and
better business methods, and much
other information of general interest
and importance. It is the purpose of
President Johnson to place this
booklet in the bands of every farmer
in Georgia and to that end lie Is now
securing lists from each county in the
state.
I “It is my desire to have every
(armor in Georgia to thoroughly fa-
(nilinri/.e himself with the doctrines,
objects and purposes of the associa
tion,” President Johnson said today,
(‘for we must look to the co-operation
pf individuals to attain success in our
Work. I want them to know, too,
thdt this success is growing and ex!
(landing ns the work progresses, and
ns others come to join in the greatest
movement of the ago.
# Pin tiiis connection l.want to say n
Work to tlio cotton planters, particu
larly of north Georgln, many of whose
crops have been destroyed by the
recent frosts and heavy rains. Don’t

attempt to defeat-it by' replanting

the rest in cotton.
“I sincerely trust that the Georgia
fanners will not listen to the cry of
coining disaster uuless we raise

raise • crop of 1Z,UX),UU0 bales or more.
The disaster, if there be any, from a
a crop below that figure, will be to

Such a crop is almost sure to bring
the disaster of low prices to the
farmer. It is this, above all things,
that lie should seek to avoid.”
