This la a distinct, but worthy tribute to the ability and Intellect of the brilliant Georgian. The.governor wished thet if not reelected, he might at least be suc ceeded by a "man.” Don’t' worry governor the people will put a man In your place and we are glad that you are beginning to realise that you haven’t the wholly cinch that you started eut with. And dill they run merrily along. Hoke and Joe, Hoke maligning, and DID HE WIN OR LOSE? (From Friday's Dally.) That waa the question being ask ed on the streets yesterday by friendf and enemies of the governor. His speech *u* well attended at the Coart Houee Wednesday evening and those who are most closely con. uected with the race seem very well »ati*fled with the reeult and declare that be will carry the county by even a larger majority than he did two years ago. ThU Is of course mere oonjecture and possibly inspir ed by their Interest partisanship and personal admiration for the Gover nor. There have been Just firs men yesterday who say that they have been changed by the . speech, bat that change was to Joe Brown and from Hoke Smith. One man said to a reporter yeeterday. "You know I went np there and heard Hoke Smith speak and for fke first ten minutes had every reason to (hink as I have thought tor the plst two years, that Hoke was the man for Governor. After that fifst ten min utes I changed my mind and no mat ter how little Joe Brown Is he la as good a man os Hoke' Smith ever dared te be.” Others of a similar nature told of their opinions using very strong language. Three of these fire were avowed and strong Smith men, the .panic to treaded finance and the greed and avarice of railroad mag. nates and says that this stone did the' thing. He doesn’t admit that the arm# corporation legislation all over the ooantry waa responsible for tbls condition, and claims as his Justification the fact that all the other etatee had passed similar legls nation and thit this appealed strong ly to the maseee. He doe» not tell the people that such men as he U, and others with plenty ot money, are not the ones that are forced to suffer by the panic. He does not mention the .fact the poor men like yon and we bears the severest part ot the bur den, thai It Is money out of our pockets, every day and tkat It ent* short onr skare of dally bread. He doesn't mention the fact that antagonism of all corporate Inter ests, will In turn catfce the bitterest RODDBNBHRTH OVATION. The Wlregnee Farmer gives a fine account of-the speech made by Hon. 8. A. Rodifenbery laat week. The Judge made a tolling Impres sion as Is usually the case. The following is as extract tram the ac count of the speech: "Judge Hoddenbery arrived In Aehburn on the eight o'clock train A large crowd of the most influen tial citizen* of the town and coun ty, who are his ardent supporters greeted him at the train and he was kept busy nntil ten o'clock shak Ing hand# with Turner county citi- sens, "There te something attractive and unique abokit this gentleman —-his genial handshake and open, noble faoe.ehow him to be gentle man of unusual ability with a kind and sympathetic heart to all.
