“The Written Lines of The Record’ Commented On by Smith Headquarters Hoke Smith headquarters in the Piedmont hotel Tuesday issued the following statement: Inasmuch as “the written lines of the record that look Hoke Smith straight in the eye” are being em phasized with such earnestness and unction by that eminent political ex pert and record keeper, Mr. James A. Hollomn, “it is well to bear in mind the entire record, as well as those portions which Mr. Hollomon is quoting for the purposes of his column. Mr. Hollomon makes much of the Atlanta convention on May 18. The point he tries to make is that Sen ator Smith aided Thomas E. Watson in defeating a resolution indorsing the Democratic administration. He summons Mr. Watson to corroborate him. But he summons only one of Mr. Watson’s records. Mr. Watson has written two records of what transpired in the Atlanta convention. The first was written May 24, six days after the convention, in the first issue of his paper, the Columbia Sentinel, following the convention, it was written before he became a candidate for the senate. This record shows that he prevented the Hoke Smith delegates from passing a reso lution indorsing the administration, and did it at the instance of a Palmer delegate. This record is not used in Mr. Hollomon’s review of “the writ ten lines of the record.” It reads as follows: We had obtained the best set of resolutions the complicated situation admitted of; we had se cured the best possible delega tion to San Francisco; we had had absolute control of the con vention; there remained only a of the counties for the three candidates—a mere for mality. had gained .substantially an that we had gone for—a straightout condemnation of the league, and a straight defeat °* of Wilson, and a straight condemnation of his monstrous usurpations of power. Suddenly a Palmer delegate whispered to me: “Adjourn the convention! “Smith is sending orders to his delegates to indorse the adminis wUl. force us to vote with the Smith delegates, and you will ba overwhelmed.” .. the fraction of two or three seconds, 1 was suspicious a + t r * P ’ a tiuick survey of a—*" 3 * w ® had accomplished me there was no trap, foil play llool6 warning against rH^ hile secretary was ad ™t? hgures on the last lihlU S- 1 ,y° at affahist cwell > I motioned to wl l o ski PP e d from the platform to my seat, and took a fro “ ™ to Hardwick anrt ♦k Xey conferred a moment, and then noddsd to mn, ’ soon as Chairman Olive had ah? o ™ced the result of the yea 1 move d to ad journ sine die.

His dele gates voted for the resolution adopted by the convention. Will he now repudiate the action of his own delegates? Following the convention, Senator Smith stated that ‘we have whipped them.’ Whom did they whip? Will Senator Smith tell how?” Another Omission Despite the “righteous” Mr. Hollo mon’s protestation that he believes in “publishing the written and spbk cn record of a public official correct ly, and without the changing of one jot or tittle,” he proceeds to <;ay that the Smith delegates refused to ap prove the Randolph resolution in dorsing the administration, but in his “fairness” he fails, or refuses, to add that the reason this was not in dorsed was because the Second para graph of this resolution contained an indorsement of the League of Na tions with only explanatory reserva tions.

P* -- - ■ THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. the record, he would have printed all of the resolution and not simply the part that suited his purpose The Palmer loaders did not want the Smith delegates to Indorse the ad ministration, otherwise they would have presented the first half of this resolution alone, and the Palmer del egate would not have run to Watson to get him to adjourn the convention, when Senator Smith’s delegates were trying to get before the convention a resolution indorsing the achieve ments of the democratic party. The resolution, sent to the conven tion by Senator Smith with the re quest that it be adopted, and the adoption of which Mr. Watson, in conspiracy with the Palmer delegates •—according to his own paper—de feated by adjournment, was as fol lows: . “Wo indorse the splendid achievements of the Democratic congress and administration, and confidently predict overwhelming Democratic victory in the fall.” The day after the convention ad jorned, Senator Smith gave out an interview in which he expressed re great that the convention did not in-, dorse ratification of the peace treaty and League of Nations with proper reservations. It is silly for Holloman to print an alleged statement by Senator Smith that “he was not in favor of the League of Nations with any kind of reservations, but ‘against the whole d—d thing.’ ” Senator Smith never made any such statement. Those who have known him for years know that he uses no such language. The Mansion Conference And another recent event concern ing which the record seems in dan ger of becoming confused is the con ference held last Saturday at the governor’s mansion to decide the question whether Governor Dorsey should run for the senate. Two different records concerning that conference have been written by Mr. Hollomon. One was the record appearing Sunday in the Atlanta Constitution, declaring that the con ference was “unanimous” in desir ing Governor Dorsey to make the race. The other is the record ap pearing Tuesday in the Atlanta Con stitution, admitting that the vote was considerably divided —77 for and 25 against his entering the race. The first Hollomon record pub lished in the Constitution Sunday, August 1, used the following lan guage : It was the unanimous verdict that the Democracy of Geor gia desired, above all things else, that Governor Dors-.y make the race. This record was corrected Mon day by Dr. C. B. Bush, legislative representative from Mitchell coun ty, who was present at the confer ence and advised the governor, as did many others, not to enter the race and divide the opopsition to Thomas E. Watson. In his correc tion Dr. Bush said; This rec C , —NcofiinncerT up u A conference of about 100 of the governor’s friends was held at the mansion Saturday. I would not refer to it, but it has already been given out, and the statement made in the Constitu tion that the action of the con ference, soliciting the governor to run, was unanimous. This publication does not state the facts. The action of the con ference was 76 to 25, and a num ber of those present expressed the opinion that ths governor could not carry their counties. Dr. Bush’s corection of Mr. Hol lonion’s record of the governor’s mansion conference brought forth the second and different account of what transpired, and in this account Mr. Hollomon says: When the vote was put to re quest Governor Dorsey to make the race for the senate, the vote stood 77 to 25, the closest per sonal friends he has in the world, men as near to him al most as his brothers, voting among the 25. Therefore, itCwas in fact—and I write this only be cause a friend of the governor’s • has made, by an erroneous state ment,' the publication of the actual facts necessary—a vote of 77 to 25 on a motion “request ing” the governor to run, and not 25 against the governor entering tho race. Blow on jaw Saves Man From Death FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 3.—Arthur Thomas, an employe of the city elec tric light plant here, was saved from death today by a blow on the jaw. He had taken hold of a plug which had become charged bv a short cir cuit and could not free himself. Clyde Newlon, a fellow worker, saw ' his predicament and swung his right fist to the point of Thomas’ jaw, knocking him several .feet away. Thomas’ jaw was slightly fractured, but he says he is satisfied. without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick arid nauseated tomorrow*; be sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play.

World Needs Food, So He’ll Farm BOYLESTON, Mass.v—There’s at least one man in Massachusetts who can’t be lured away from doing his duty in harvesting the crops of his employer, even though lie has been notified that he’s one of the heirs to a $2,000,000 estate. He’s David Nicoll Cant of this place, 37 years old, a bachelor, and one of the best farm hands in the country. “I’m not going to leave my boss now,” says he. “The biggest hay crop of years is waiting to be har vested. That would be poor grati tude, wouldn’t it?”---. Ho’ll Stick on Job So until that crop is harvested and F. C. Stark, his employer, gives him leave to go on the first vacation he’s had in nine years, David Cant will continue to do his share. Cant left his home in Dundee, Scotland, 29 years ago. He arrived in Boston and went to work on a farm. He found peace and enjoyment LEAGUE WILL USE STRICT BLOCKADE TO ENFORCE PEACE ——— SAN SEBASTIAN, August 3.—The League of Nations council today accepted the principle of a strict economic blockade to be used to iso late offending nations from the rest of the world. It was decided that this blockade would be used to preserve peace even when states which are mem bers of the league quarrel with non member nations. A recommendation of action was prepared for submission to the league assembly at Geneva, asking appointment of a joint commission of the assembly and the council, authorized to prepare the procedure for the blockade. During debate preceding adoption of the blockade plan, it was pointed out that failure to provide the league with a naval or military force left the blockade its sole weapon. It was agreed the blockade was a very ef fective weapon, however, and that mere knowledge that it could really be established would be sufficient to deter would-be violators of interna tional law. One suggestion was that a central organization be formed to handle plans for preventing non members of the league from trading with states which are under bl6ck ade, and to help the members defend their commercial interests while their markets were temporarily cut off by the blockade. P laris are be ing effected under which all the na tions would co-operate to 'minimize commercial losses due ,to a block ade. Before adopting the blockade, the league council heard presentation of three important subjects for its con sideration: M. Bourgeois submitted plans for an international court of justice; M. Tittoni explained the blockade and M. Decusna presented a scheme for an international health organization. • Bourgeois detailed the proceedings at The Hague of the international commission authorized to form a world court. He explained that un der its findings there would be eleven judges who would be elected by con current vote of the league assembly and council, also four alternates, and that this panel would be changed every nine years. He explained the plan under which cases between disputing nations would be tried. One of the first acts of such a court would be the re-in terpretation of all treaties, it is ex pected, so they would constitute a solid ground work for further pro ceedings. The council, it was pre dicted, would make only minor changes in this world court plan. Decusna’s proposition provides for creation of an international health bureau with headquarters at the seat of the league, its duties being to draw up international agreements for mu tual aid in fighting epidemics and also to bring the nations into federal agreement on the means of combat ing disease. Bandits Lock Officials In Bank Vault and Escape With $20,000 MOLINE, Ills., August 3.—Six men entered the Commercial Savings Bank here today, locked bank offi cials in the vault and escaped with $20,000 after a running pistol fight with citizens and police. Charles Mohler, a barber, was shot and prob ably mortally wounded. The rob bers fled, from the city in an auto mobile. Hardwick Ridicules Walker’s Attack ROBERTA, Ga., Aug. 3.—Thomas W. Hardwick, speaking here Monday afternoon in the interest of his can didacy for governor, caused much amusement amongst his 200 hearers by his answer to Clifford Walker’s attack on him for representing Lud wig Martens, the Sovie envoy. He declared that he was sure no one who could pay so large a fee as Martens would ever employ Walker. Mr. Hardwick made his usual speech with reference to state and national issues, and his addresses ' rouyht forth frequent applause. there. And finally because of delays in the mail hfe stopped writing to his family. Seven years ago his father died, and every effort was made to reach Cant. Finally, through an advertisement in a Boston paper, he was found. He has never averaged more than $22 a month as a farm hand but man aged to save a little. “I didn’t marry,” says he, “because I didn’t see a girl over here that I wanted. But there is a little Scotch girl on the other side and if she’s still there I’ll bringhe rback to the best country in the world.” Earm life for Kim The estate left by Cant’s father amounts to nearly $2,000,000 and David’s part has increased because of the seven years that have elapsed since it was left to him. “But I’m always going to work on my farm,” says he. "The world is too much in need of food for any man who knows farming to be idle.” ATLANTA NURSE IN POLISH ARMY WRITES OF WAR An Atlanta girl in Poland, former ly a nurse with the Emory Unit, is face *to face with warfare as it is waged by the Bolshevists and de clares she was “never so interested and thrilled’’ in her life. She is Miss Celia Johnson, former ly of North Carolina, who was a nurse in Atlanta when the Emory unit was organized. She went over seas with the unit and returned to Atlanta with them, working here as a Red Cross nurse*until last April, when she volunteered for service in Poland with the Red Cross. Miss Johnson was in Vilna, Po land, for several weeks, where, she wrote under date of July 6, "we are going to turn this hospital over to the Polish people August 1, pro vided we don’t have to hunt the tall timbers in the meantime.” Her provision came true a little sooner than she expected, for the next letter to Atlanta friends was postmarked Warsaw. “I am safe,” she wrote July 9. “We left Vilna Friday night in a box car. Saved our baggage and, we hope, our hospital equipment. Late last night the Bolshevists were ham mering away, but hadn’t taken the town. “Have never seen such an orderly evacuation. Everybody and every thing went as quietly as if we were just closing up after finishing our work. We were actively under Polish military orders, as Warsaw didn’t know if the immediate dan ger isn’t very much the invasion of the Bolshevists. . “The situation in Poland is quite critical. A transport has been or dered to wait in Danzig to take care of the Americans in case we have to make a getaway. "I am to remain in Warsaw for a few days. Will either have a hospi tal train assignment or work in the new hospital to be opened here shortly. Six nurses go to Bialstayk tonight to help take care of the five thousand orphan kiddies that will come through the orphanage in the next ten days. “There are so many interesting things to tell you, but I haven’t time to write more today. I am well and was never so interested and thrilled in my life before.” Miss Johnson is the third nurse from the southern division of the Red Cross to serve in Poland. The others were Miss Emily Porter, of Lebanon, Tenn., and Miss Emma Wilson, of Blount City, Tenn., both of whom returned home recently. GALLSTONE TROUBLES A new booklet written by Dr. E. E.

Write for booklet and free trial plan.— (Advt.l Recent Figures Show High Prosperity Among Negro Cotton Pickers Some Interesting figures recently put out by Martin V. Calvin, statis tician for the state department of ag riculture, indicate that the money gained by Geogia negro women and children in harvesting 60 per cent of the state’s cotton crop since 1903 is a most important economic factor, and that if the negro population thus concerned had been as frugal and as saving as Japs or Chinese, the chances are that they now would be owning a large proportion of the best cotton lands of the state. As it is, the figures show that the negroes have done pretty well. Mr. Calvin’s report says that In 1907 the negro women and children of Georgia earned $8,371,447 picking cotton, and in 1913 $10,558,065. A good deal of these earnings seems to have gone into land, as ne groes owned 1,450,000 acres of farm land in 1907, and by 1919 the amount had risen to 1,760.000; while the doz en years from 1907 to 1919 their live stock Investments had increased 104.6 per cent, they owning in the last year live stock to the value of $12,443,682. In the same period Georgia negroes increased their property valuations from $25,904,822 to $54,858,301—a gain of 112 per cent in land and i household furniture. HARDING’S LEAGUE POSITION ELATES G. 0. P. OPPONENTS DAYTON, 0., Aug. 3. —Demo- cratic leaders close to Governor Cox here profess to be elated over what they call “the reaction” throughout the country of Senator Harding's speech of acceptance. They claim that the Republican nominee by his declaration for peace by congressional resolution, al though witn a promise for a new as sociation of nations, will justify them in making a campaign issue on the broad ground of "league or no league.” It is apparent that upon this gen eral principle the Democrats here, regardless of conflicting views on what reservations may be necessary, are willin- to make a campaign. Before the Harding speech, friends of Governor Cox said they feared that the Republican nominee would make the campaign a continuation of the long senate treaty war by forc ing a light mainly on reservations. It is known here that Senator Hitch cock and other prominent Democrats who soon will start speaking cam paigns in the middle west will stress their claim that a vote for Senator Harding means that the United States shall not enter the present league under any conditions. From a source close to Govern or Cox, it was learned that nis be lief is that the Harding speech has awakened the nation’s inteerst in the league issue. Apparently the gov ernor believed that the public lost interest in the long senate fight and for this reason was reluctant to enter a campaign squabble over res ervations.* • Provisions are being made to han dle a huge crowd here Saturday, notification day. Citizens have been asked to open their homes to vis itors and several long trains of Pullman cars will be parked in the railroad yards here. A voice amplifier that will enable between 75,000 and 100,000 people to hear the governor’s speech, is being installed. Governor Cox will continue his work on Ohio executive business. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ‘vice presidential nominee, is to be Fov ernor Cox’s guest for the notifica tion. Although the governor had hoped to attend Mr. Roosevelt’s noti fication August 9, at Hyde Park. N. Y„ conferences next week with party leaders on campaign plans and arranging his own speaking itinerarv may preclude the trip to the Roose velt event. The presidential nominee plans to spend most of next ween here cleaning up party and personal affairs, to start his first extensive speaking trip week after next, prob ably in Northern New York and New England, after addressing the Ohio Democratic convention at Columbus August 17. Today was the first registration day for the Ohio primary elections August 10, but having a residence in a country township where Trail’s End is situated, Governor Cox is not required to register. Governor Cox announced today he would speak in Chicago early in Oc tober. He stated that he had ac cepted an invitation of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce for an address before that organization. Inspired apparently by reports of "Cox luck,” which are proverbial in Ohio politics, harbingers of good luck are pouring in on the governor. He received today a feather weight horeshoe worn by Lou Dil lon when she established the world’s trotting record for a mile in two minutes flat at Readville, Mass., Au gust 24, 1903. Governor Signs Number Os Bills Before Leaving For Americus, Georgia Several local bills and a few gen eral measures were signed by Gov ernor Dorsey on Monday before leaving for Americus, Ga., to meet Governor Brough, of Arkansas, and a party of farmers from that state who are making a tour of south Georgia. Among the measures ap proved by the governor was the bill placing in the hands of the presi dent and faculty of the Georgia Normal and Industrial college at Milledgeville, the authority to se lect applicants for admission to the institution.

Bahnsen. Their testimonj’ was to the effect that Dr. Bahnsen’s work in connection with hog cholera control and tick eradication has re sulted in great benefit to the live stock industry of Georgia. More than a dozen witnesses were examined, being placed on the stand by the defense and examined both by Judge Joseph sE. Pottle, counsel for Dr. Bahnsen, and Attorney Wil liam Schley Howard, counsel for the prosecution. The evidence brought out Monday was in support of the contention that Dr. Bahnsen has rendered prompt, efficient and satis factory service to the dairy and live stock interests of Georgia. The pros ecution is attempting to show that the state veterinarian has been guilty of misconduct in office and has distributed hog cholera serum at a personal profit. In cross-examining the various witnesses Attorney Howard sought to show that the development of the livestock industry in Georgia has been forced by the ravages of the boll weevil rather than by any work of the state veterinarian. The witnesses testifying for Dr Bahnsen on Monday were W. H. Pea cock of Cochran; W. H. Roddenberry, of Cairo; E. E. Mack, of Thomas ville; Judge John S. Candler, of At lanta; Sam McGarrah, of Plains; J. F. Pittman, of Thomasville; J. W. Hodge, of Elko; R. Pyron, of Car tersville; J. A. Gardner, of Camilla; J. H. Malloy, of Quitman; L. E. Blanchard, of Douglas; L. B. Hill, of Burke county; B. W. Hunt, of Eaton ton. War Reports Cause Weakness in Cotton NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3. —Pro- nounced weakness was shown by cotton today with selling persistent and heavy and done mainly on the unfavorable reports concerning hos tilities between Russia and Poland. Following confirmation of the early rumors that armistice negotiations had been broken off there was ■ a break to more than $6 a bale under the closing quotations of yesterday, the active months showing losses of 104 to 127 points. October dropped to 29.48 cents a pound. Slumps in foreign exchange, and particularly the early break of 4 cents in the rate of sterling, served to intensify the effect of political news. oOi Illi if ’ WARNING I The name “Bayer” is the thumb print which identifies genuine Aspirin prescribed by physicians for 20 years and proved safe by millions. gw 1 SAFETY FIRST!

BY THEODORE TIX.T.F.B WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. —Return- ing to the heaquarters of the Dem ocratic national committee, Repre esntative James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, who has completed a tour of the Pacific and far west states, predicts that Governor Cox, the Dem ocratic nominee, is going to carry most of the states that made the election of Woodrow Wilson possible four years ago. Representative Byrnes says: “Aft er visiting California, Wash ington, Wyoming, Montana and other western states, I am confident that Cox will carry nearly all of the states carried by President Wilson four years ago. Where a year ago the Republicans confidently claimed all of the west, they now admit that it is a ‘horse race’ in that section of the country. Westerners regard Sen ator Harding as the candidate of Penrose and believe the ‘old guard’ were so confident of winning that they concluded to risk one who had always proved true to them. The in dependent westerner Is asking what the senator has ever done to justify bis selection. They say that in stead of a platform, the Republicans at Chicago constructed a fence and on the fence placed a straddler. Know ing Cox’s record, they expect him to knock the Republican candidate off the fence before the campaign is over. “Democrats admit that prior to the Republican convention, the Republi cans seemed to have the better chance, but since the convention, western Democrats have become op timistic, while gloom has settled over the camp of the Republicans. I feel confident that Cox will carry Montana, Utah, Idaho, California, and that the Democrats have the best of the fight in Wyoming, Washington and Colorado.” Brass Band Attends Pet Canary’s Funeral NEWARK, N.
