Governor Smith and Tom Watson Saying Things to and
of Each Other of an Interesting Nature.
<mith, in Reply to Charge of Bad
paith, Says It Is an Exhibition of
[gnorance and in Keeping With
Watson’s Vanity.
in a recent article given to the
newspapers Tom Watson made an at
tack on Governor Smith for the lat
ter’'s approval to the disfranchise
ment amendment postponing its go
ing into effect until January Ist.,
and charged that the governor had
not kept faith with him. He charged
that the purpose for which this
change was made is ‘‘to allow Hoke
Smith and that element of his party
to use the negro vote in November
ostensibly for Bryan, but more par
ticularly for the purpose of destroy
ng Watson, a most astonishing
breach of contract.
Governor Smith Talks.
Governor Smith replied vigorously
to Mr. Watson, saying:
“I have never made an agreement
with anvone about when the consti
tutional amendment should go into
effect.
My work upon this subject was
n the interest of no individual, but
for the public generally, and Janua
rv Ist. was fixed as the date when
‘he constitutional amendment will
go into effect solely because it would
be impossible to complete a registra
tion under the constitutional amend
ment for the November election.
“This difficulty was overlooked at
the first session of the legislature,
but became so apparent when we
were studying new registration laws
that I brought it to the attention of
‘he general assembly at the first of
the last session in my message.
“Watson’s charge that the opera
tion of the disfranchisement amend
ment was postponed to injure his
‘hances in Georgia is regarded by
persons familiar with the actual rea
sons that prompted the charge as a
reflection on Watson's intelligence.
They regard it as an exhibition of
gnorance in keeping only with Wat
son’s vanity.
“Here are the facts: The change
from October, this year, to January
next vear was necessitated because
the legislature unanimously recog
nized that it would be impossible to
out the vrovisions of the constitu
tional amendment into operation in
‘he two weeks that would intervene
setween its ratification at the Octo
ver election and the November elec
tion, much less offer the desired op
vortunity to purge the registration
lists as required by law.
“The November election occurs on
November 4th.
“The October election occurs on
Jctober Tth.
“Experience has shown that two
veeks are required in which to get
e returns from the various coun
es of the state, consolidate them
officially and publish a proclamation.
"The vote on the disfranchisement
‘mendment promises to be heavier
‘lan usunal, and it is entirely prob
tble that even more than two weeks
Vil be required to definitely ascer
ain the official result.

Watson Comes Back at Smith and
Tells of the 1906 “Contract” and
Why and How Pope Brown Was
Put Out of the Race. .
Mr. Watson, in a lengthy reply to
Governor Smith’s reply, talks of ‘‘the
1906 contract,” and makes some in
teresing statements in regard to the
campaign of that year. He says:
“In 1906 I acted with the organ
ized democracy of this state for the
first time since the people’s party
was established, and did so because
of the disfranchisement issue. The
plan of campaign, agreed on between
Congressman Hardwick and myself,
grew out of the proposition made by
me in the course of a speech made
in Atlanta on the night of Septem
ber 1, 1904. At that time the Hon.
Hoke Smith was not known to be an
advocate of disfranchisement. The
candidate for governor, as per the
original agreement between Hard
wick and myself, was Hon. Pope
Brown. That gentleman entered the
race and the campaign was well un
der way when suddenly, and without
notice to me, Pope Brown retired
and Hoke Smith was shoved in.
“For several weeks I was in doubt
what course to pursue. There were
reasons, not necessary to be stated
now, why I did not want to support
Smith.
“Congressman Hardwick visited
me at my home, assured me that he,
Hardwick, had acted in good faith,
believing that the change would be
all right with me, and that Smith
would make a stronger race than
Brown.
“After further delay, and with re
luctance, I acquiesced in the change,
on account of the issue involved, and
did my part, as best I knew how, to
make the campaign a success.
“Afterward I learned from my life
long friend, Pope Brown, that he had
consented to withdraw from the race
because the impression had been
made upon his mind that I wanted
him to withdraw in favor of Smith.
Whoever created this impression on
the mind of Pope Brown cruelly
wronged me and cruelly deceived
Brown.
Sent It to Watson for His 0. K.
“When Messrs. Hardwick and
Smith had shaped up the disfran
chisement law according to their own
notions it was sent to me, that I
might examine it and make sugges
tions. I was willing to leave it all
to my friend Hardwick, and did so.
Therefore, 1 sanctioned the measure
just as it was, and that measure
represented the compact between
Harwick, Smith and myself.
“This original act provided that
the disfranchisement law should go
into effect immediately after its
adoption at the October election.
Therefore, the negroes would not be
free to vote at the November elec
tions. The amendment recently
adopted changed this, and conse
quently violates the compaet as
agreed on, and as represented’by the
original act. i
‘““As to the necessity for the
change, it is ‘a singular coincidence’
that the discovery was not made un
til after the Honorable Hoke had
been walloped in the campaign of
1908. It is remarkable that this
necessity had not been discovered by
the indefatigable champion of the
measure, Congressman Hardwick.
“It is quite possible that two
weeks might be consumed in ascer
taining the results of a state elec
tion, for I remember with considera
ble vividness that in 1894, when
Judge James K. Hines was the popu
list candidate for governor of Geor
gia, many of the returns had to be
held back several weeks until they
could be judiciously doctored.
“But, nevertheless, where the law

requires the election superintendents
to have the precinct returns at the
county site by noon, on the day after
the election, and when the consoli
dated result is by law required to be
sent to the state capital without de
lay, I am mildly incredulous as to
this two weeks’ necessary delay.
“Where there's a will there's a
way, and had the Honorable Hoke
been, at heart, as much in favor of
the disfranchisement law as he ap
peared to be when he was a candidate
the first time, we could have zeal
ously co-operated and found the
means of keeping faith with one an
other. The consolidated returns
could all have been rushed into At
lanta within three days after the
election, and the registrars, with the
white lists already practically com
plete, could have purged the colored
list in short order, and made up the
new books.
“It is a case where it was eagy to
have done the thing, had we all
wanted to do it as badly as we said
we did.”
PUTS OFF THE MARRIAGE.
Panic Is Said to Have Cooled Love
of Miss Violet, Which Was Spread
Thickly Over With Romance.
That the man whom she learned
to love in overalls will not do now,
since he stands to lose some of those
same millions, is the mild charge be
ing made by Pittsburg society dames
against Miss Violet Brockelbank, the
aristocratic young lady of England
who was engaged to marry George
Westinghouse, Jr., of Pittsburg, Pa.
Pittsburg hears that the Brockel
bank-Westinghouse wedding has been
decared off for all time. Whether
this be true has not been proved,
though friends of the Westinghouse
side of the house admit that the wed
ding has been ‘“indefinitely post
poned,” but the excuse is given that
there has been a death recently in
the family.
Pittsburg society does not appear
willing to accept this as the real con
dition of affairs, and it is asserted
that the wedding has been called off
entirely. It was to have been sol
emized in England in October, and
was to have been one of ‘‘the” af
fairs of that country, as it was pretty
well understood that part of the
Westinghouse millions was to go to
fixing up the Brockelbank estate.
Whether the recent financial re
verses which have overtaken the el
der Westinghouse have had anything
to do with postponement, if not com
plete cancellation of the wedding
plans, is a question Pittsburg society
is not prepared to answer definitely.
Romance was spread thickly over
the Brockelbank-Westinghouse court
ship. About twelve months ago Miss
Brockelbank, visiting Mrs. George
Westinghouse, made daily trips
through the Westinghouse works.
She became infatuated with a young
workman in overalls, and later he
turned out to be George Westing
house, Jr., who was learning the
business of his father from the bench
up. Miss Brockelbank, it would ap
pear, had not even known that there
was a young Westinghouse, and the
engagement was announced soon af
terward.
STEERS EAT DYNAMITE.
One Was Hit With a Rock and
Blown Into Smithereens.
A Portsmouth, Ind., dispatch to
the Washington Herald says: Oscar
Huff, living near Bremen, lost two
valuable steers in an unusual man
ner. His cattle were grazing in a
field whbere Mr. Huff was blasting
stumps. While he was absent the
steers ate a quantity of the dynamite.
When driving them in at evening M.
Huff threw a stone at the herd.
The missile struck one of the
steers that had eaten of the dyna
mite and the shock exploded the
stuff in the animal’s stomach and
the steer was blown into smithereens.
The -oncussion caused by the ex
plosion jarred the other steer and it
blew up. The expolsions were felt
distinctly for several miles.
AT DRAWSOUN NINWS.
Is Cry From Kentucky Mountains
to Governor Wilson.
VIGOROUS DEMAND BY VOTERS
Want Charges Lifted From Heads
of Former Governor Taylor, Fin
ley and the Other Powers. The
Pressure on the State's Executive
Is Strong.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 30.
Thunderous rumblings of the senti
ment of the voters in the Eleventh
congressional district, the bulwark
of the republican party in Kentucky,
are now jarring the ears of Gov.
Augustus E. Wilson. This is the call
of the mountains, and it is saying
to the republican governor that, in
asmuch as Caleb Powers and Jim
Howard have been pardoned for al
leged complicity in the murder of
William Goebel, the republican gov
ernor should also lift from the
heads of William S. Taylor, Charles
Finley and John L. Powers the
charges which hang over them for
alleged conspiracy in the same crime.
All the republican newspapers in
the mountain counties have taken up
the cry that the pardons be issued.
The Mountain Advocate, published
in Bourboursville, the home of Caleb
and John L. Powers, is the mouth
piece of the Eleventh district repub
licans, and an article just published
in it is a sample of the pressure
which is being brought to bear on
Gov. Wilson. It follows:
“Many are the calls that have been
made on the Eleventh district by re
publicans of the other sections of the
state. At every election the cry of
the Blue Grass, the Pennyrile and
the Purchase is: ‘What majority
will the Eleventh give?’ To every
boast of proud democracy the reply
is: ‘Just wait until the grand old
Eleventh is heard from.’
The Mountains’ Call.
“Always heard from in tones of
unmistakable vigor the Eleventh is
at once the dread of democracy and
the pride as well as the security of
republicanism. To the Eleventh this
year, as in all other years, the eyes
of republican managers are directed.
Before responding to the call of the
smaller end of the state the moun
tains have now a call of their own
to present.
“We voted in 1907, say the moun
tains and the whole people, for the
early and complete obliteration from
the state’s escutcheon of the politi
cal prejudice and hatred growing out
of the Goebel murder. On no other
ground could we have won. Both
democrats and republicans voted for
Gov. Wilson on these grounds, be
lieving that he would have the cour
age to look the situation squarely in
the face and see that justice pre
vailed.
‘“He took one long step in this
direction when he pardoned Powers
and Howard. In doing this he has
declared that there was no conspira
cy to kill Senator Goebel. He has
solemnly asserted that Youtsey alone
is guilty of the Goebel murder. Why
not then, ask the mountains, com
plete the work of obliteration by
granting at once a pardon to Charles
Finley, William S. Taylor and John
L. Powers?
“If there was no conspiracy to
murder Goebel, if Youtsey alone is
guilty of the crime, if Taylor, Fin
ley and John Powers are innocent,
to force them to stand a trial in
Franklin county, the defense of
which would cost at least $20,000,
would be a mockery of justice, and
to keep Charles Finley one day
longer away from his aged and ven
erable parents is an outrage that it
will soon be too late to correct.”

U.S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chroniccatarrh? Have we
abundant proofthat Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy? Let ussce
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna,
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca
tarrh of the liver), and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic
organs. It is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedronseedsisanother ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory zays of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen
tery, and in intermittent diseases as a.
substitute for quinine.
oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu
lant and diuretic. Ilactson the stom
ach and intestinal tract. It acts asa
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic discases of the liver and
kidneys.

monials of what ths people think of
Peruna asa catarrh remedy. The best
