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.

SEAMAN, l | 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.

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.

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.
