One of the finest nnd most im
pressive incidents of the Hoke
Smith rally last Saturday was the
speech of introduction by lion.
\\\ G. AY right, in presenting the
gubernatorial candidate to his
magnificent audience. It was re
ceived by the vast audience with
several outbursts of applause and
with evident approval.
Colonel Wright’s speech follows:
“Ladies and my fellow citizens:
Standing here on this auspicious
occasion surrounded by as brave,
true and patriotic people as in
habit this earth, I feel, first of all,
I would be recreant to them were I
to fail to denounce as a slander and
a falsehood an editorial which ap
peared in the Atlanta (’(institution
of this date.
“The truth, my friends, is this:
Some days since some of the sup
porters of the lion. Moke Smith in
this county determined to under
take an organization of the county
in the interest of his candidacy for
governor, and accordingly some
lists were placed in the hands of
some of his supporters in various
sections of the county with a view
of securing signatures and hun
dreds have been secured. The
men in whose hands these lists
were placed were not hired, and
did not undertake the work for
money, or the hope thereof. No
money was paid or promised them,
and indeed they would have spurn
ed it. They are among the best
of our citizenship and have mater
ially aided in the upbuilding of
our state and county, and some of
them have illustrated our stale on
the battlefield in defense of the
grandest cause for which any sol
dier ever buckled on his armor, or
raised his sword, and one of these
men who led one of the most gal
lant regiments which ever left
Georgia during the civil war, to
day bears on his face, and right in
front, a sear indicted by a Yankee
bullet.
“This government was designed
to be by the people and for the
people.
“The very first paragraph of the
bill of rights of the constitution of
our own state declares that: ‘All
government, of right, originates
with the people, is founded upon
their will only, and is instituted
solely for the good of the whole,’
and that ‘public officers are the
trustees and servants of the people,

Hoke Smith is the worst abused

The Bulloch Times says that

there is a pooling of issues—all to
gether to defeat Smith, no matter
who the successful man be.—Dub
lin Times.
It is the poor man who carries
his honest share of the burdens of
government and he alone. His
littie property is visible and is gen
erally assessed for all it is worth,
and he must pay the rate, or do
business with the sheriff. The
rich escape doing their full duty
to the State and their fellow-citi
zens in this affair of taxes, and
they do it because of the general
hypocrisy and cowardice with
which the General Assembly al
ways deals with any measure to
secure honest returns of property
for taxation.—Atlanta News.

ami at all times amenable to them.'
“It is. nevertheless, true that
since the Inundation of the govern
ment there hav e been those who ad
vocated a centralization of power,
and a government administered in
the interest of the few. and remov
ed as far as possible from the con
trol of the people; while on the
other hand there have been those
who insisted on the administration
of t he government in accordance
with its true spirit and the provis
ions of our organic law rightfully
interpreted.
“The spirit of graft, monopoly,
ring rule, corporate domination
and a government administered in
the ineerest of a few chosen classes
has, at times, both in our state and
nation, made fearful and danger
ous head vva\ and this is especially
true in the last decade.
“The people, however, have be
come aroused and in their might
and ma jesty propose to assert their
constitutional rights.
“A mighty struggle is being
waged in our own beloved com
monwealth betwe n t ic advocates
of popular government, negro dis-
frunehisemet and a clean, honest,
just, conservative and economical
administration of our state affairs
and without thodiotntioii of cheap,
hired, ring rule politicians and the
advocates of corporate control on
the one hand, and on the other by
the ringsters and those who advo
cate or are in sympathy with ring
rule, corporate domination, an un
just discrimination in favor of cor
porate interests against the citizen
and the advocates of negro suffrage.
“In this great struggle and at
this crucial period, the people are
not without an advocate and a
leader.
“A Georgian of stalwart frame
and lofty intellect, a friend of the
people, an advocate ol popular
government and popular rights, a
man of indomitable energy and
strict integrity and superb courage,
a man of national reputation am
who is the peer of the highest ol
der of statesmen in all this land,
has been called by the people to
lead in this mighty contest.
“His splendid campaign has al
ready resulted in great good to the
people and I undertake to say that
the present legislature of Georgia
has enacted more laws of real bene
fit to the masses of the people t han
any legislature for many years
previous and which would not
have been enacted but for this cam
paign.
“The people are aroused to their
interests as perhaps never before
in the history of onr state, and on
the 112nd day of the present month
I confidently predict that by the
suffrage of the free, 1111 purchasable,
liberty-loving and patriotic citizens
i of our beloved state this great
leader will be overwhelmingly
: chosen as the standard bearer and
nominee of the pure and unterrified
I Democracy for the highest office in
their gift.
“I refer to the Honorable Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, who is with us
today to discuss the great, living
1 issues of this campaign, and whom
it now gives me peculiar pleasure
to present to you.”

The florist frowned ns he took up an
order for a tuhle decoration. ‘‘That
will never do,” he muttered. After
calling up the customer and suggest
ing « change, he told his new clerk a
few Ihlugs.
“You must never tuke an order that
calls for a mixture of mignonette and
roses,” he said. “A centerpiece of
those two flowers wouldn’t last half
through the luncheon. They Him ply-
wilt one another. 1 don’t know why,
but they can’t get along together.
"It Is Irue of many flowers, l’unsies,
for instance, last twice as long If they
are not combined with any other flow
er, and the same may be said of vio
lets. Jonquils and daffodils, on the
other hand, seem to get u new lease
of life If you combine considerable
green with them. Carnations will go
ail to pieces If you combine them with
roses, allhough the roses do not seem
to be affected.
“It Is more striking In combinations
of green with flowers. If you try to
use an entirely different type of fo
liage from wbat the flower Is used to.
It won’t last so long. Ho 1 never put
feathery foliage with lilies of the val
ley. for you know its natural foliage
Is u thick leaf. -1 never use thick leuves
with carnations, for their foliage Is of
the feathery type. It Isn’t as though
the flowers fought, but they see in to
grieve at being misunderstood.’’

My Childhood Home.
I'm dreaming tonight as I ait alone
Of the days of the past—
()f my childhood home.
1 see the dear old homestead as it stood,
And hear the gentle signing
Of the pine trees in the wood.
I see again the river flowing ’iieath the
hills,
Hear again the joyous niusie.
Of the merry rippling nils.
The willows, like a lover in liis bliss,
Are bending gently o’er
The sparkliug waves to kiss.
The waters—how they ripple as they
run—
Tossed by the wind and foaming,
Glinting in the summer sou.
Tonight I am sighing for the days of
yore,
As memory brings her golden dreams
Back from the far-off shore.
Gould I hut find again such perfect rest;
Gould 1 tint stop the throbbing
In my aching, wearv breast I
Gould I from sorrow turn aside awhile
Lose all iny cares and licence more
A happy care-free child I
Could I but wander in the meadows
sweet
Without a care or might hut, joy
To guide my straying foot.
But now those happy days are jutst and
gone,
No sighs or tears can bring them bnck,
They live in memory alone.
—Ruth Foster.
