Hoke Smith appointed sev¬
eral negroes to good places
when in Washington. He
now thinks that nine-tenths of
the negro vote* should be dis¬
franchised.
# Monday was the first day
since July 21, when the first
tnse of yellow fever was re¬
ported in New Orleans, that
that city did not have a death
from the plague. This is en¬
couraging to the stricken city.
The farmers are going to
ask eleven cents for their cot¬
ton this season, and if they
have the proper material in
their make up, they will get
it. They have everything in
their hands and can do with
the cotton crop just as they
wish.
HOWELL FOR GOVERNOR
Since the announcement ot
TIoke Smith and Clark How¬
ell as candidates for governor
of Georgia, The News has
had very little to say for or
agafnst either of the gentle¬
men. In fact it had very little
,
preference between the two
men, and it is not here now to
attack anybody as far as the
little things are concerned
which have been up against
them. The “Piedmont Bar”
is nothing — the “ring” is
nothing; but when it comes
down to a man’s record as to
h.nv ho conducted himself . . ,,
after having an appointment to
a responsible position, and
where , he . could have helped , , .

important, indeed.
It is a matter of record that
when he held the exalted po
sition that he did in Washing
ton a few years ago, that he
appointed several negroes to
good places when there were
thousands of good white peo
pie wl.„ would have been glad
o have received an appoint- ;,

county could have furnished a
few young men, us well as
women, who would have been
glad A to have been able to
H n . ‘ ,, nosition 1 ' in Washington °
salary of . ^900 $ ,Obo
at a to 1 a
year, but they did not get
taste of the good things he had
to give away.
Instead of giving all the
k' c " neonle \ ’ the
kind of people . he . calling
* ts is
on now for support in the
people" coming primary, and the only
who can vote in the
primary, he had to divide
them, Bishop Turner’s family
coming in for a good share.
Now, if Clark Howell
ever been secreta,y of the i n "
tenor and had appointed ne
"•roes to such positions when
there was a white man in the
state worthy of the job, we
would be anent hifri teeth and
toe nail. But Clark has never
been secretary of the interior
and lias never had the oppor
tunity to Jo such a thing and
of course a man is
until he is proved guilty.
Hoke has been caught with
the goods on him, which is
conclusive evidence that he is
not altogether “white” in all
of his dealings.
NoV, “by Hokey,”
News can’t stand for the way
Hoke did in this matter and
it is going to get on the 1 low

tune on the program is a

Americans in London are apt

Two young Chicago women,
wandering through wlmt they af¬
fectionately called “Dickens
London” last summer, went into
a bunshop to ask the nearest way
to one of the less frequented
spots that the great writer has
made sacred to all lovers of iiis
stories.
A good-natured clerk gave
them minute directions, to which
they listened attentively and
with strong efforts to he intelli¬
gent when he spoke of the “top’

streets, told them to go “straight
away,” and that the place was
