To the Public :—
My attention has been called
j to a recent, issue of the At lanta
Journal, in which is quoted an
extract from a speech delivered
by Mr. Hoke Smith in Jonesboro,
pro in this extract it appears
t hat Mr. Hoke Smith made a
strenuous effort to gain sympathy
for himself by undertaking to
create the impression that l had
attacked his good father, Mr. U.
H. Smith.
It seems to me that such a waii
comes with ill grace from the
lips of this political mountebank,
who has assiduously striven to
bolster up his falling cause
throughout, the state by insinuat¬
ed reflections upon the memory
of my father, and by veiled at¬
tacks upon me for im other reason
than that, we happen to be relat¬
ed to one ol his opponents in a
race for office. But 1 am unwil
ling to accept the example of Mr.
Hoke Smith in matters of pro
pnety and decency, and there¬
fore take this opportunity to
publicly correct any impression
that may have been created to
the effect that 1 reflected upon
his father op any occasion.
In endeavoring to account for.
the remarkable attitude of Mr.
Hoke Smith toward the negro
race, l stated publicly that per
haps Mr. Smith, to no him -
,
tice, had strong motives c.f gra
tilde tm account for lit ■ appoint
meet of the various relative,.< "
the negro, Bishop Turner, am.!
other negroes, to fat offices as.
soon as lie received the appoint
iug power, for that Mr. Smith in
the earlier days of Ins profe-sion
al career owed much to his
halves, thirds or other share of
damage verdicts rendered in fa¬
vor c'd his negro clients- and.
he certainly was under deep
ligations to Bishop Turner for liis
frank and flattering letter of in
dorsement.
I stated further that most of
our citizens would have preferred
to see the debt of obligation
paid in some other way than by
•> holesale appoint.menf of lie
groes to office, but that these
opinions were generally due
environment and heredity; that
Mr. Smith had moved to Atlanta
when a grown man; that; bis
f'ather, horn in New Hampshire,
had come down to North Carolina
before the war and had been
taught in a different school
thought, and that in his former
environment the opinion ' was
widely held and often expressed
that the negro was entitled
equal civil rights with the white
man.

Former Client of Hoke Smith
Makes Affidavit Sustaining*
Statement of Albert Howell
Afanlf(istly tllP new?] , apW
opsis of my remarks, in
lines, could not undertake
nr „j s h ui y full expressions oil
the subject, I have quoted my
expressions a* fully as 1
recall them and I desire to frank-
1| disclaim any purpose to, in
volve t.lje personalty of Mr,
Smith’s father in the
campaign, for from all 1 know of
him, he is a gentleman of film
conscience anrt character,
I have nothing hut -kindly
These sentiments are increased
by the statement that Dr. Smith
from the stall of tin*
North Carolina University when
negroes were admitted to its
«»!y express my regret that
aversion to the African had not

Mr Hwke ymit5i ’ in the
tract above referred to, also men,
tinned the charge made bv one
of his own clients, and quoted by
me, which charge he
ized as a charge made by "an
client at some unnamed
time,” and as "one of those nu-
morons lies the opposition is
starting about me.”
It i? not usual, to say the least,
for an attorney at law to desig¬
nate his own client as '‘the op
position." and is strained rela
lions have existed between Mr.
Smith and his client, the sit ua¬
tion is unfortunate, certainly for
the, client, if his sworn affidavit
us to be publicly denounced by
his'at.torney as a lie.
As between the affidavit of the
client and the statement of Mr.
Smith, 1 would unhesitatingly
incline to pin my faith to the
aliia.it, but in order that the
public may make up its own ver¬
dict between toe client and the
attorney, I reproduce herewith
the affidavit, in full:
GEORGIA, Fulton County.—
Personally appeared before me,a
notary public in and for said
county, S. D. Dempsey, who be¬
ing sworn, says that on the 30th
day September, 1902, he was a
hrakeinan in the employ of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway Company, and as
su< h. was severely injured near
the Seaboard junction itf Fulton
county, Georgia.
Deponent says that he. employ
cd iloke Smith as attorney to
represent him in collecting dam
from the railroad company
f,.y t;| W i n.juni s received and ex
a contract with Hoke j
under the terms of which
;.lr. i ■ e, war to be allowed one- {
ttflli of whatever amount was |
recovered by settlement, it be¬
jog understood that Mr. Smith’s
proportion of t he recovery was to
be one-third in the event suit
was brought and tried.
Deponent says that the claim
was mi the hands, of Mr, Smith
for about eight months, during
which time deponent was needy
un'tl anxious to have the claim
-cttlcul, and so repeatedly stated
Mr Smith.
In or about the month of June,
lOofl, Mr. Smith sent for depo
nent to come to his office, and
told him hi- case could he set
tied for twenty five hundred
i2,5()0 .d<R dollars but no more.
On this statement, deponent
Relieving it to be true and that
n o greatei settlement could he
had, and imposing implicit confi
donee in his counsel, authoiized
him to close the settlement on a
oasis of $2,590,00.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Smith
stated to ue.pon'ent that the set
Dement lut'd been closed and the
money collected and presented
to deponent a voucher drawn up,
purporting to settle the claim for
! lie sum of $2,500,00, which Mr.
smith had deponent toand
which Mr. Smith then deposited
f , | n s own account, offering de
ponent a check for two-thirds or
amount represented by the
voucher. Deponent called Mr.
Smith’s attention to the contract
to the fact that the claim
had been settled without the ne
yessity of trying a suit, and Mr.
Smith finally agreed to accept
the amount fixed oy the contract
in the event of settlement, and
then gave deponent his personal
for $1,419.15. This sum
was intended to cover deponent’s
of the settlement, $2,000.00,
less advances which had been
made by Mr. Smith to deponent
from time to time since deponent
settlement was closed. Of these
advances Mr. Smith gave depo
uent $7o.00 at the time the con
Grant was executed and then
.ft -rent sums in varying
a nonnts during the
-; u.-omIis aggregat-ing$580 85.
'I. It-t vvo thousand dollars so
! cdvfed ceived ^’presents by Oepunent the entire sum
r m any way,
1 directly or indirectly, as a result
j of the settlement of bis claim
against the railroad company,
deponent supposed t(jat it
i svas, in fact, four-fifths of the
i actual settlement and so believed
i until quite recently, wheu he as-

certained that his claim had, in
reality, been settled with the
attorneys of the railroad compu¬
ny ter the sum of thirty-five him
dred dollars ($3,500.00).
Deponent says that Mr. Smith
a t no time intimated to deponent
that- his .claim had been settled
for $3,500, or could be settled for
any such sum, but on the contra¬
ry that, it could not be settled
for more that $2,500.00, and al¬
one time urged plaintiff to accept
eighteen hundred dollars ($1,-
800.00) in settlement of, the
claim. This was about two
months before the settlement
was finally made.
S. I). DEMPSEY.
Sworn to and subscribed before
me this 29th day of November,
1905, W. C. LANIER,
Notary Public, Fulton County,
Georgia.
1 had never seen or heard of
Mr. Dempsey until he walked
into iny office some time ago and
stated to me the facts set out in
the foregoing affidavit.
I then advised him to get in
correspondence with Mr. Smith
on the subject and assured him
that in my opinion he would get
his money. I have not recently
heard from Mr. Dempsey, but I
understand that he finally secur¬
ed a settlement of the claim
against Mr. Smith.
If the facts stated by Mr.
Dempsey in bis affidavit are true
the claim was probably
but if as stated by Mr. Smith,
the charge was a “lie,’’the claim
was doubtless declined promptly
and with indignat ion. 1
that 1 cannot personally advise
the public what disposition the
claim received, but Mr. Smith
can possibly supply the desired
information.
