STATEMENT—DI8CUS3E8 8IT-
UATION AT ARAGON.
Atlanta, Ga., July 29.—Sheriff De np-
sy, of Polk county, never did call tor
troops to be sent to Aragon on June
23, 1808, and the troops were sent
there by Governor Smith upon his d\vn
responsibility, according to Hon. VV.
C. Bunn, of Cedartown, who was in
Atlanta yesterday before the supreme
court. Furthermore he said Sheriff
Dempsey would bear out this state
ment. •
This was the position taken by him
i n an address before the Joe Brown
Club, of Polk county, a few nights
ago. In discussing this case, which
was recalled by all the citizens of
Polk county, he said Governor Smith
had sent troops to Aragon tipon the
request of C. H. Gorton, manager of
the mills at that place, to keep down
trouble following the arrest of two ne
gro boys.

Atlanta,-Ga., July 39.—After reading
Hoke Smith's Waycross speech, wlilcu
Mr. Smith did not deliver on account
ol Illness, but which was furnished
for publication, Manager Ed Maddox of
the Ilrown headquarters said of it. In
fart: ”
"I am literally thunderstruck at .lie
mildness of Mr. Smith's published
statement written for delivery ns an
vddress at Waycross. It satisfies me
more than ever that the contest 13
practically at an end, for no hfan with
ony hope of victory could have staked
I Is campaign on the basis of that ad
dress. It reads defeat all through.
"No longer defiant 1 , Mr. Smith
speaks like another man. His whole
bearing has changed, and the thing
that strikes me most forcibly about
his address Is the embarrassing alti
tude In which it leavea his extreme
'supporters who have been creating
all klndr of Imaginary Issues to hnvo
them knocked down one after another.
And now comes Mr. Smith absolutely
Ignoring Vnne of these so-called Is
sue. and treating the others in such
n half-hearted way as to leave room
for no other conclusion than that his
Inner-conscience rebukes the extrem
ism of some of hls most enthusiastic
advocates.
"I am now able to reconcile Mr-
Smith's three statements to the ef-
.ret hat he would not run for Govern
or, with hts present candidacy. Hla

| Atlanta. Ga., July 29.-—The vote In
i the Senate today on the amendment
to the -registration law, proposing
that that t'he registration looks shall
close thirty days before an election,
Instead of six months, shows that
Hoke 8mlth still has n majority in
that body.
By 23 to 18 the Senate adopted the
unfavorable report of the committee
on the measure, the effect of widen is
to kill thqhill.
SenatovSlater and Mathews led
the flghrfor the passage of the amend
ir>e:n, while in the forefront of 'ho
forces against them were Senators
Jackson, Burwell and Harrell, all well
know u 8m!th supporters.
Senator Jackson declared that the
bill was offered for the purpose of
making political capital. He > com%
pared it to the Trojan horse ana
warned the senators against the dan
ger lurking In it.
Senator Calhoun, favoring the bill,
declared that, Georgia now has the
most drastic registration law in the
United States. He declared that many
prominent while citizens had been
disfranchised as a result ot the law.
Senator Harrell pronounced the
present law the best registration law
in the country.
Senators Slater and Mathews mode
strong appeals for the hill, but In
vain.
Several of the Senators continued
debating under the privilege of ex
plaining their votes.
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
E
To the Farmer, the Merchant And
Mechanic of Ware County and
of Waycross:
ALL KINDS OF CHICKENS AT
HARDY BRC8. 30 2t.
This in a time in the l'fe of every
man whe n he would <|o well to take
a retrospective view of the tinny
things that go to make up the grind
whole of life, and in looking back he
wise man will be guided !n his wo-da
and actions by the success or failure
that ha? attended him m hlo efforts
to fill the niche that the Creator hah
placed him in.
Mr. Editor, you will, I am sure,
pardon me for the liberty of uskiug
some space In your paper in order
to add! ess a few questions to the
Farmers, Merchants and Mechanics,
of Ware County and of Waycross,
touching only upon the merits of the
two candidates for gubernatorial hon
ors.
I deelro to ask the farmer if he
has forgotten the promise made By
Mr. Smith when he first ra n for Gover
nor, that in the matter of freights
alone he would save them the enor
mous sum of ($4,000,000), four million
dollars per year. Just think of it!
MR. FARMER, DID HE DO IT?
Have you forgotten the blow he gave
you wtaen be announced that the
STATE OF GEORGIA, of which ho
was Governor, would raise a crop of
cotton, approximately (2 500,000), two
and half million bales, thereby bear
ing the market, and cauie the price to
drop from 12 l-2c to 10c. Mr. Farm
er, a nice friend you had for Govern
or! And, again, have you forgotten
hla sdt laudation when he gave out
for publication that he had prnctically
secured the Introduction into Uecr
gla of a countless host of farmers and
farm laborers, to compete wJ*h y.u
and thereby bear the market still fur
ther to your detrement and cost.
Mr. .Merchant, surely you have not
forgotten the prosperity that was
your fortune when Mr. Smith first ran
for Governor. Business rushing, mon
ey plertiful, the only serious trouble
on had was the lack of the means of
transportation, a very serious trouble
indeed. But be promised to relnve
that trouble, and him anj hls helpers
did ft with a vengance. So much 'to,
that there was plenty of means to
transport your goods but unfortun Ita
ly there was nothing to transport
Mr. Mechanic,, have you forgotten
when Mr, Smith first ran for Govern
or, the many promises made by him,
as to what he was going to do to re
lieve your down-trodden condition.
How many of those promises bore
fruit? He did Indeed give you an
ensy time for quite a while, but un
fortunately it was in numberless cas
es, a hungry time. Mr. Farmer, Mer
chant and Me*chan!c, In reviewing the'
fast, permit me to ask this question,
Are you willing to risk a repetition?
If you are, vote for Hoke Smith, If
you are unwilling to risk repetition,
vote for J. M. Brown, a man, who,
.while physicaly small, is intellectual
ly n giant, a man who has given the
State of Georgia the lafei^ most
sane administration It has ever had
In Its hiftory. W. E. D.
To The Public:
