HOKE SMITH’S RECORD IS
ALWAYS HIS ENEMY
So Declares Brown—Hoke Cares
Nothing for Farmers,
Brown Says.
Atlanta, Ga., July 21,190(5.
Hon. Hoke Smith, Candidate for
Governor,
Dear Sir: You have, in proba¬
bly two hundred speeches, con¬
demned Hon. Warner Hill and
myself because we did not, as
member of the railroad commis¬
sion of Georgia, grant the Afclan
fa Freight Bureau’s perilLm for
“port rates.” You were the
paid attorney of that bureau.
Although this petition whs
denied April 17, 1903, by this
commission, at that time com¬
posed of Hons. Spencer R. Atkin¬
son, J. Pope Brown and G. Gun by
Jordan, yet it was filed again
some months afterward and
pressed persistently ami vigor¬
ously. Within a week before
the final decision you made a
speech before this commission,
urging strongly that we grant it
Since it was declined you ha\e
sought to teach the people that
it was a petition fraught with
blessings for every section of
Georgia, for all the people of
Georgia.
I propose to show that it was
a petition which ignored the sta
ule upon which the prosperity of
the Georgia farmer rests.
Let us lock at your record.
Your record is always your ene
my. In tliis “port rate” peti
tion you and your clients, from
September .19, 1902, to May 8 ,
1907), asked for reduced rates
from Savannah and Brunswick
to Atlanta and in the reverse
direction between the same
points, on the following classes,
1, 2 , 3, i, 5, «, A. B. 0, D, E, F,
H. No classification was named
in the original petition hut, when
refiled, the same elasses were
shown, “governed by Southern
classification.”
Now COTTON is not in either
ern cl5 , siacitio „, m j„ the
Georgia Railroad Oommission’s
COTTON is in class
j.
Over 3,000 items in the South
er n clsssification are included m
the classes on which you asked a
redu(jfcion of more than 38 per
cent - n ( 4 eorgiaf although the
17 u ited States supreme Court
held that in Nebraska a reduc-

and annulled it.
^ ^ ^ (]jJ yftu
ask for a reduction in rates be
t ween Atlanta $nd Georgia coast
c jt,ies on more than 3,000 tons of
freight covering the items which
Atlanta jobbers handle in com¬
petition with Macon, Augusta,
Athens, Columbus, Americas,
Savannah, Brunswick, etc., and
entirely ignoreOOTTUNV If the
petition as originally tiled was
intended to be governed by"
Georgia classification, why did
you begin with first class and go
to class II, and there stop, when
thAvery next class was J, which
includes COTTON?
And why did you clinch tins
omission when you refiled the
* fc port rate” petition, by asking
that it be “governed by South¬
ern classification,” which has wf
class J, but makes COTTON
“special”? Ami why, in asking
“special” rates on a limit twenty
articles which Atlanta jobs, did
you omit cotton even from that
list?
For nearly three years you
were pressing tins com mission to
grant reduced rates on over 3,000
articles which Atlanta jobs, and
during all this time you never
even amended your petition so as
to add COTTON to it, Why did
you wait till you went on the
stump and began demagoguing
for the votes of the farmers
before you ever thought of the
staple upon which the prosperity
of the Georgia farmer is based?
Your silence during these record
making three years was proof
that you either thought- that
there was nothing wrong with
the cotton rates, or that you
cared nothing for the cotton
farmer. Answer the above ques¬
tions, for on your answer hangs
your right or lack of right to the
vote of every farmer iu Georgia
who raises COTTON.
Respectfully,
Joseph M. Brown.
MRS. HAMPTON
CLINCHES CHARGES
Confederate Widow Proves Her
Charges by Smith’s Own
Defenders.
To the Public: I notice in this
afternoon’s Atlanta Journal that
Mr. Claude N. Bennett, who says
over his signature that he was
Mr. Hoke Smith’s private secre¬
tary “during the first half of his
administration as secretary of in¬
terior” —endeavors to extract M r.
Smith from the position in which
lie has been placed by his treat¬
ment of me.
1 am frank to say that I am not
inclined to keep before the pub¬
lic in a newspaper controversy,
but as a defenseless woman 1 do
not propose to be attacked with¬
out saying a word in defense ot
myself. Mr. Smith, JVIr. Bennett
and the other underlings may
think it a chivalrous thing to at
tack a woman, hut 1 respectfully
submit that they have no rigid
to go beyond the bounds of truth,
and more especially do I submit
that in their attacks on me they
should, at least get together and
present a harmonious front
Mr. Claude N. Bennett in his
card published in yesterday’s
Journal says:
“1 remember Mrs. Murga- -
ret J. Hampton very well.
She wrote a number of pa¬
thetic letters, which are still
on file in the department.
She wrote first from Roches¬
ter, N. Y., March IS, 1893.
She wrote again in April,
stating that she bad stood the
civil service examination and
failed to pass.”
Arnl yet, Mr. Bennett, do you
know that Mr. Hoke Smith from
every stump in Georgia has de¬
clared openly and on his sacred
word of honor that I never wrote
him on this subject, and more
than that, that he never even
knew or heard of me until my
published ... few _ weeks
letter was a
ago? You are, therefore, con
victed, Mr. Smith, by your own
former secretary of the fact that
my whole case was before you,
and that when you said at Alba-
ny and elsewhere that you never
heard of me when you were se <•
retary ()f tlie interior you mad e a
deliberate misrepresentation,
in his card Mr. Bennett says
again :
“I have thoroughly exam¬
ined the records of the inte
rior department concerning
Mrs. Hampton. She i ever
had a position in the patent
office, and was never detailed
to the patent office for work.”
And yet,*do you know, Mr.
Bennett, that Mr. Smith in at¬
tacking me on the stump lias
declared that the records show
that I was in the patent office
before I was transferred to the
census office?
You say again, Mr. Bennett.
that Mrs. I-Iamptcn was dismissed
with 94 other employees of the
census department because
“nothing more remained
them to do. 15
And yet, Mr. Bennett, do you
know that Mr. Smith has said
repeatedly on the stump that 1
wte dismissed for incompetence.
when he knows that the only
work I had to do in the ecus is
department was to fold pipers,
which 1 did in a manner which
fully satisfied the chief of that
department, and there never wa
a complaint against me. And
yet we find from the records that
David Si. Turner, son of Bishop
Turner, was dismissed by two
republican administrations for
“drunkenness and incompeten
ey, 55 and immediately reinstated
by Secretary Smith. Even if I
had been dismissed for “incom¬
petence,” does it not seem that
I should have had at least the
same consideration that was
shown the negro?
Gradually the facts are confing
out, and Mr. Smith i§ being con¬
victed over the signature* of his
former employees! I knew that
some day the truth would devel¬
op, and every charge that I have
made in my communications on
this subject have been more than
corroborated^by the testimony of
Mr. Smith’s underlings in their
attempt to defend him.
I am sure that I will* be par¬
doned sor thus obtruding myself
upon the public, but when a
woman and a defenseless widow
is so mercilessly attacked she
has no other recourse but to put
herself straight before the pub
lie. Respectfully.
Mrs. M. J. Hampton.
