-imx- THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1916. GOES FOR HIS OPPONENTS, DOES GOVERNOR HARRIS IN SPEECHES YESTERDAY IN ELBERT AND HART [HUGH DORSEY SPOKE TO LARGE CROWD, LEXINGTON, SATURDAY, 1 I. R. E. DAVISON TO BE RE ELECTED OVERWHELMING VOTE FIRM INSTALLING (Special to the Banner.) Atlanta, Ga., July 29—In his speech' es at Elberton and Hartwell on Sat urday Governor Harris paid his re spects to Dr. Hardman and Col. Pottle In the usual manner. He took up Mr. Dorsey's attack on his clemency rec ord in the following manner: Mr. Dorsey began this discussion of the pardoning power by an attack on me. In this campaign, I will try not to forget that I am governor of Georgia, elevated to that high office by an over, whelming majority of the state. I have great respect for all my op ponents. and do not Intend to attack the record of any of them except by way of defense. I shall defend myself against attacks made on me. and If, In doing so, I shall seem at times to bo severe or even discourteous, I shall bo sorry of any such result, and beg my younger friends, whoever be may be. to remember always that he began the performance. If the public prints are to be trusted, MV. Dorsey charges me with putting the national guard, now In camp at Macon, on a par with the reformatory prison at Milledgeville. He intimates that this will lower the standard of gentility among the soldiers, because pardoned criminals have been enlisted to serve with them. There never was a charge made on a flimsier founda tion by any political opponent, as far as I can recall. The fa its are simply these: On the 23rd day of June, last, ap plication for pardon was mado In fa vor of Earnest N. Woodruff, who had been convicted at the June term of DeKalb superior court of carrying a pistol without a license and given an alternative sentence of six months In lail or a $50 00 One. He was a mem ber of the national guard, and hts com pany had been ordered to the mobiliza tion camp. He could not pay the $50 and was In the hands of the law. The captain of his company asked that he be pardoned so that he could Join his company. The prison commission recommended It, and I granted It and he Is in the camp at Macon. This Is the only case of the kind— the only one that I handled, and the only one who was pardoned to enable him to join his company. Ho was guilty of a venial offense. I called It “a gentleman’s offense." There Is a distinction between an of fense which we term, In law, malum prohibitum and an offense which we term malum In se. The one does not Involve moral turpitude, as recognized by the constitution, and the other does. Coloael Dorsey knows this dis tinction well, or he would certainly not be lit for either solicitor general or governor of the state. I am sorry that my young friend went to the extent he did in this mat ter. To make this the subject of a charge, like that to which he has giv en utterance, is to stretch a political attack beyond parliamentary bounds. No man In the state has a higher opinion of the national guard than I, ' myself. My own son Is at Its head, aad I have felt the pride of a Geor gian, of a father, of an old soldier In the marshaling of these boys,—the flower of our state, who go out with arms in their hands to defend the honor of the American nation and avenge the Insults to the American flag. To charge me with bringing dis credit upon a gallant body of men like this goes beyond any bounds that I can consider with equanimity. It Is cruel, unnecessary, founded on sumption alone anil without a founda tion of fact sufficient to sustain the charge. Now, as to Mr. Dorsey's pardon rec ord: SPEEGH WAS RECEIVFO WITH CONSIDERABLE ENTHUSIASM AND MANY WENT FROM THIS CITY TO HEAR HIM MAKE ADDRESS • (Staff Corespondence.)

The Matters of Pardonf. The remainder of the speech was devotod to a discussion of the pre- mission over which Mr. Davison pre sides as chairman. While there are some mentioned as candidates for this office, still It Is not believed that the opposition will prove formidable at all as the people are satisfied with the administration of Mr. Davison, who has demonstrated his ability and worth In this office to the people of Georgia. Mr. Davison Is a splendid farmer,' having spent a greater portion of bis life on tho farm and having conducted a large mercantile business In connec tion with Ills farming interests, he is peculiarly fitted to fill the office which he holds to the satisfaction of the en tire people. No man, who does his duty, can hope to make friends of all citizen* but there is bound to be some who are disgruntled and peeved over some trivial matter which may cause them to criticlso and misrepresent, but af ter all the services Mr, Davison has rendered the state will overbalance any petty dislike and opposition.

Years after at a meeting of the veterans of the regiment they officially bestowed upon her the title, which she had worn so long unoffi cially: "Mother of the Third Georgia Regiment." Through reconstruction days, this capable, energetic woman went bravely on. While a devoted mother, and an excellent houaekeeper, (he was a woman of great Interests. She and her husband were very congenial —he waa one of the mdst active and useful law makers during the recon struction period, and after, serving In both house and senate. Life brought many griefs to her; ot her five children, only two survive her, Mr. Vason McWhorter and Judge Hamilton McWhorter. Major Mc Whorter died ln 1908. A lover of life In the open country, she was devoted to her home and farm, which she managed most suc cessfully. She supervised every de tail herself, and was very systematic. Just last year she directed the repair work on her home. She was pro verbially honest: The Idea ot owing anybody even a dollar would worry her. She managed to get her bills all paid paid and to keep ahead. She was a manager, and had that for tunate combination of ability and thrift and honesty which make the good citizen. One ot the very happy Incidents ln her life was her return to Winston- Salem In 1911. President Rondthaler and the board ot trustees asked her to come back and receive her di ploma, and she willingly contented. She received an ovation,—she was tbe graduate to whom all at the com mencement delighted to honor. At tbe time of her graduation Winston- Sqlem had been an academy and had not given diploma*. The claaa of 1911 elected her president and gave her the pin to wear. The etndente and faculty were delighted to hear her tell of her school days,—and she waa a very Interesting conversation alist. They had prepared for her the room In which she stayed as a school girt On commencement day. Presi dent Rondthaler said that each grad uate wrote a thesis. He wished to read a letter from Mrs. McWhorter which -he would substitute for that, and her letter received the closest attention from the audience. When Miss Sallle McWhorter entered Win ston-Salem her grandmother went with her. What a beautiful Incident was this, and one that will be treas ured In memory. Truly she was one of the world’s workers, and one ot Its brave spirits, too. 6he was a person of keen mind, and a ready wit, and she found life interesting, because she herself was Interesting. So many people have listened with great pleasure to her telling her varied experiences. By many she was known as “Mias Pope,” and all over the state and ln other states she was beloved. Her life taught courage. One is reminded ot those lines from Mat thew Arnold: “If, ln the paths of the world, Stones might have wounded thy feet. Toil or dejection have tried Thy spirit, ot that we saw Nothing—to ui thou wait still Cheerful, and helpful, and firm.” Reason for Old Jokes. "Why are there so many old Jokes cm the etage?"

Atlanta, Ga., July 29.—Quite a lit tle excitement has been occasioned In Marietta by indictments returned last night by the Cobb county grand Jury, charging former Representative John Mozely and former Representative H.
