Gov. Smith has accomplished things. More than that, he has set on

the world closer together, must all be credited to him.
Today he is no less the great man than he was when he first advocated
these principles, the cause of the people. He comes to Baldwin county as
his own, as governor. At the Baldwin hotel next Tuesday evening from 8
to 10 o'clock there will be u public reception to which everjkody is invit

convulsed his frame and choked his utterance.
Said he:
"1 think I am most sensitive to uncouth speech. But 1 have searched
my memory in vain for one coarse or profane word from him. No such
word ever passed his lips.
"He said to me once: I think the memory of any mother waiting for
me when I came hi me is the sweetest memory of my life.” 1 had noticed
that he absented himself from services on certain Sundays ot each month
and I asked him once why he remaine 1 away and he replied: ‘I went lo

How many shortcomings in the life of the great magnate may this single
trait oljhis character redeem?
For, the man who enshrines in his heart of hearts the withered face of
his old mother is not a Nero.
