Hoke Smith has hit upon an in- terecting plan to obtain from the federal government the addition al 50,000 names of confederate soldiers which the state of Geor gia now likes to make its records complete. The government has already furnished Ga. with 70,000 names from the rosted. but the remain ing 50,000 have never been ob tained because the government has insisted on having $8,000 for the coppying work.
