After the Empire State ol the South. Since James Oglethorpe, James Haber sham, Archibald Bullock, Button Gwinnett and John Adam Treutlen, first governors of the slate, nobody has filled the chair with more ability. Gov. Smith has accomplished things. More than that, he has set on loot movement that will never be overcome and settled until they are set tled right. Agricultural education, the bui d ng of good roads, the regula- tioiuof corporations, the reduction ol cost o( transportation thereby bringing 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 ed.

I ry them it has the following to say of the mother of Henry H. Rogers, the great Standard oil magnate, who died last week. And at the funeral ceremonies in New York the aged Dr. Colyer, who for A Tribute to a Millionaire s Mother The value being placed on motherhood and home is greater today than years had touched el bo as with him, could hardly speak for the grief which 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 Fair Haven to see my mother. 1 never allow a month to pass without visit itig her.’ " 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. And while others may prefer to recount the misery and the suftwing which lie has caused by his greed of gain, we are for the time being duaein ed by this exhibition of mother love Perhaps tomonow, when the dew is no longer on the garland, we may he free to criticise him; but today we can not resist the subtle fragrance of tliis simple flower.
