OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLDG It seems that Clark Howell only succeeded in making Rome howl lor Hoke Smith. The Hero and Agonizer says Hon. VV. C. Adamson “can go to Congress as long as he wants to.” That emphatic statement extin guishes another burning question of the hour. At last, the real Democrats of Georgia are awakening Augusta Chronicle. This is news. The public has been thinking all along that the "Hampocrats” were extremely wide-awake. Judge Dick Russell looks good to us. Last Week's Dick Russell- Clark Howell. Any gubernatorial candidate who can he used as a catspaw for Clark Howell in Coweta county looks that way to this ancient, ma chine-finished, professional, politi cal bootlicker. It seems that the News made a very conservative statement when it said last week that a majority of Congressman Adamson's constit uents disagree with him on the question of disfranchisement. The LaGrunge Reporter estimates that nine-tenths of the voters in the Fourth District lavor disfranchise ment. * hands of such fool friends as the Newnan Weakly Dick Russell- Clark Howell. The “real” Democratic newspa pers of Georgia are enthusiastically engaged in helping tne Populists get their State ticket in the held. This Populist movement to pre vent tne white people of Georgia from coming together in the Democratic party has the hearty sympathy and support of all "real” Democrats. Some "real’’ Demo cratic newspapers even go to the extent of printing the news about this Populist movement in their editorial columns; which gives the public the right to conclude that the movement has the editorial en dorsement of these “real” Georgia friends of white supremacy. The real motive behind the actions of these alleged friends of the Demo cratic party is patent to all. As one of the most pathetic examples of this badly mixed condition of State politics, see last week's in stallment of tho Newnan Dick- Russell-Clark Howell. "GREED FOR OFFICE.” To Everybody: Give the News the news. Send it by telephone, deliver it verbally at the News of. fice, or send it by mail. The News wants all the nows and wants every body to help gather the news. If you know a news item and don’t tell the News, don't kick because it doesn’t appear in these columns. If you give the News a news item it will be printed. People who were present at the Smith-Howell joint debate in At lanta and afterward read the Con stitution’s report of the affair, unanimously agreed that the Con stitution is the blue ribbon An anias of Georgia journalism; and the Constitution's report of the joint debate in Rome indicates that it is making strenuous efforts to sustain a deserved reputation. The most inconsistent men in Georgia are those gentlemen who are advocating any candidate for governor to beat Hoke Smith. In one breath they praise James M. Smith because he is opposed to negro education and the next minute they open their mouths to advocate Dick Russell's plan to re lieve the negroes from taxation, give them nine months of tree schooling each year and all the free school books they can use. The Weakly Dick Russell-Clark Howell, ot this city, is authority for the interesting information that Hon. W. C. Adamson “can go to Congress as long as he wants to, without the support of Troup county." This statement may or may not be true; but the News ventures to assert that our Con gressman will be mighty well pleased to have the support of Troup county in his next race for Congress. Judge Adamson should pray for deliverance from the Some of the foullest rot that is being dished up in the newspapers land used against Hoke Smith in | the present campaign is the dis gusting nonsense in regard to his “greed for office." As a matter of fact Hoke Smith never in the past, in a single in stance, asked the people of Geor gia to elect him to office; and he is seeking tho governorship now in response to the desires and de mands of thousands ot Georgians, who called him from the peaceful and lucrative practice of law to bear aloft their standard and lead the tight for retorm in this cam paign. This talk about Hoke Smith’s "greed tor office," whether it is handed out by the press or passed around by the professional hot air artists of the opposition, disgusts all honest, conservative voters of the Slate, regardless of their affil iations in the present campaign. Talking about “greed for office,” what about the greed for office so characteristic of Clark Howell and Dick Russell? lloth of these dis tinguished patriots have been pro fessional office seekers and office holders for twenty years or more. They have been found asking the people for political preferment every election year during that time. Clark Howell has an office hold ing record that is envied by every professional politician in the State; and now he is asking Georgia to elect him governor in the "line of honorable promotion.’’ Judge Russell’s career as an office holder, as outlined in that historically accurate and biograph ically authentic journal,the Weak ly Dick Russell-Clark Howell, of Newnan, Georgia, began in 1S82. He held office continuously after that date until his resignation as superior court judge was presented to Governor Terrell in the spring of this year. He served three terms in the Georgia Legislature, ten years as Solicitor General of the Western Circuit and more than seven years as Judge of the Su perior Courts of the same Circuit. It has been estimated that Judge Rutsell has received #75,000 from the public treasury in salaries as a public official. In addition to holding office con tinuously for 24 years, Judge Rus sell has been a candidate for other offices during that period, and never deemed it “greedy" to hold on to one office while reaching out to grasp another. Those delectable gentlemen and journalists who are muck raking for horrible examples of the “greed for office." should dig up the political records of Dick Russell and Clark Howell. discussed the issues and the public record ot his oppohent in a parlia mentary manner. No feelings of anger were displayed by Mr. Smith or Mr. Howell, and each gentle man referred to the other in duly courteous manner at all times dur ing the debate. The debate was listened to by [,200 to 1,400 people, in Nevin’s opera house, Country people pre dominated in the audience and Smith men were decidedly in the majority. An impartial witness states that both speakers won friends, but that the opinions of their auditors remained unchanged. The same impartial critic says that Mr. Howell received hearty ap plause, but Mr. Smith’s followers made the greatest demonstration, throwing their hats in the air and waving handkerchiefs. Mr. Howell’s speech was a bet tor campaign effort than his At lanta speech. He sustained him self better and made a better im pression upon his hearers. Mr. Smith's speech was along the usual lines and was the kind of sledge hammer argument he has been dealing out to tne people during th<- past twelvemonths. Some new and striking features of the debate deserve attention : Mr. Howell made the direct statement that Joseph M. Brown, Railroad Commissioner, should be removed from office, and said he favored the removal from office of Railroad Commissioner II. Warner Hill, He frankly admitted that he did desire the support of Thos. E. Watson—and, he added, the support of every other white voter in the State. Mr. Smith displayed a flaming 1 circular containing the pictures of prominent negroes he is charged with having appointed to office, while Secretary of the Interior. This circular is being widely dis tributed by agents of the Atlanta Constitution and is probably being sent through the mails, also. Sev eral days ago th<* News was in formed that this product of the muck heap was being scattered broadcast over the State and that Coweta county was receiving a fair proportion of these circulars. The concensus of opinion is that the Rome debate did not affect the situation in Floyd county and that Hoke Smith is stronger than Clark Howell in that county and will probably carry it in the primary on August 22nd. The News’ Sweet Scented Contemporary. Editor News:— The tangle-brain editor of your contemporary, the “Hero and Agonizer,” was quite garrulous and gratuitous in his last week’s issue when he ventured the re mark: "There is nothing the mat ter with our feather-legged con temporary, the News, except that it has no sense.” "Much learning doth make thee mad” could not be applied to the “Hero and Agon- izer's” editor; and he must have made this remark on the occasion of a recent visit from his old friends. Messrs. “Rocky Mountain Rye” and ".Murray Hill Club.” These fellows and your contem porary are congenial “spirits,” it is said, and at times they exercise a very exhilerating effect upon his tangled brain. “O wad s inie power the giftie gi'e us, To see oursel's as ithers see us!” An Observer. Newnan, Ga. Vox Populi, Vox Dei. In a private letter to the editor of The Reporter, Judge Adamson complains that this paper did him great injustice. Some very good friends of our Congressman were of the opinion that he made a mis take in delivering what he calls a Democratic speech, especially as to tho time he chose to make it. We simply stated, that for this reason, many of his constituents were se verely criticising him. We can not see any injustice or wrong in that, and deny that the amiable Judge has any ground for his com plaint. The facts of the case are about this way: We Georgia people are having a little family contest. The contention of one side of the house is that everything is all serene, that what we have is good enough, and they want to let what they call “well enough” alone. The contention of the other side of the house is that reform is needed even in Georgia, that we are paying un just and exorbitant freight rates, and that the influence of the cor- porate interests is too great in our affairs for the best good of our people; and those making this con tention believe further that the best interests of the State will be conserved by the enactment of a law disfranchising the negro. Preceding the congressional nominating convention, the people gave no thought as to Judge-Ad amson’s position on these issues, conceding him the right to his own opinions, and thought that as he had kept quiet before the nomina tion he would continue to do so afterwards. He had been quietly hoeing his own row, and the peo pie naturally expected him to con tinue that job to the end. It is probable nine-tenths of his con stituents believe in disfranchise ment. They did not believe they were groping about in darkness on this question, and had not called upon him for enlightenment. Therefore his speech opposing dis franchisement and his exagerated approval of the present status of things came as a distinct shock to hundreds of his friends in this section. The Reporter, in its usual very mild and conservative manner, stated that he was being criticised, We but gave notice of the pub licly expressed opinion of hosts of our people, and in doing so we did Judge Adamson no injustice. We commend the heading of this article to Judge Adamson’s consideration.—LaGrange Report er. POTTS AND PARKS American Lady Corsets. Correct in style, perfect in fit.

Impartial reports from the Smith-Howell joint debate in Rome justify the conclusion that it was pitched on a higher plane than either the Columbus or At lanta joint debate. Each speaker Hon. Warner Hill, chairman of the State Railroad Commission, contributes a rather warm card to the State campaign, in which he accuses Hoke Smith of all sorts of lying, demagogery and hypocracy. The trouble with all the many card writers who are opposing Mr. Smith is that they mistake abuse of that gentleman tor answer to his contentions that reform is needed in many Georgia affairs— especially in freight rates.—La- Grange Reporter.
