his face. As Mr. Howell began prob
ably 1,000 persons faced him. He be
gan by stating that he was proud to
come to the great county of Floyd, and
. tell the people where he stood. He
•aid he Injected no personalities Into
his campaign other than thoaa to show
his opponent’s position In public mat
ters.
Howell called. attention to his pub
lic career of nineteen years and defied
_Bmlth or any one. to ..put.. Anger on a
S ngle Instance where he had not voted
r the peoples' Interest.
“1 Won’t Bids."
"If ho can do It; I'll take my medi
cine like a man, and put hide behind
glittering generalities.”
Howell said he was not here to ap-
heal to the passions and prejudices of
any man, but to reason and Judgment
alnne.
I only ask that you do not allow ap
peals to your prejudice to sway your
'•■nscloua. If lyou follow that I hat
wo fear, and will abide your verdict
without question, and remain a loyal
Georgian and Democrat, so help me
God."
Ha said he la now and has always
been against disfranchisement. The
only difference between hlmaelf and
Kmlth was that Howell has ndt
changed and Smith changed to eult hla
convenience. Hla view* along this line
met with frequent applause.
Negro Now Disfranchised.
"If by disfranchisement of the ne
gro you at the same time shut out
".ooo white men, then I never want

He said that hts audience knew that

QUALIFICATION LAW
By JOHN REE8E.
Special to The Georgian.
Rome. Ga. t June 21.—Continuing his
speech this afternoon Mr. Smith re
futed many statements of Howell, and
said disfranchisement would he worth
It In Georgia to save McIntosh County.
■What about Bishop Turner?" some
body asked.
"Just wait: I’ll tell you. You How
ell men he fair. Your man's here; let
him apeak for himself,” replied Smith.
Much more confusion occurred while
Smith was speaking, hut It appeared
to be more the enthusiasm of his fol
lowers than any effort of Howell’s,
friends to yell him down.
‘If Howell can prove that there are
more negroes In school In Georgia
than whites I will put up 5500 with
him. for Miss Berry's School," declared
the speaker.
When Smith said that the Virginia
man Howell told about being disqual
ified was a Northern man and a teach
er In a negro school, the crowd yelled.
“He'asks me to discuss hla record.
I'll do it. I defy him to name a single
bill he Introduced in the general as
sembly In the Interest of the people."
He then asked Howell If he didn’t
work for Calhoun against John B.
Gordon.
He said that while he did not make
the charge, he had ; letters to prove that
he did. As the debate proceeded the
aisles filled until probably 1,200 were
In- the house. About 10 ladles were
present.

nell won the two-mlle four-oared race
hare today with Syracuse second, Co
lumbia third and Pennsylvania fourth.
The time of the winner was 10:35 1-5.
It was raining hard when the race
started and the contest was .decided
during a steady downpour.
Cornell got off .In the lead with Co
lumbia hanging on hard and Syracuse
and Pennsylvania tt-alllng. Cornell
pulled a steady stroke and gained
right along. At the quarter she led by
a length and was pulling a smooth,
steady stroke. Columbia was unable
to stand the strain after the race was
half over and fell back, Syrncuac tak
ing second place. None of the crews
was able to head the men from Ithaca.
Cornell finished a good third.
The official order at the finish was:
Poughkeepsie first by 5 lengths;
Syracuse second by 2* lengths; Co
lumbia third by 2 lengths; Pennsyl
vania fourth. *

Columbia and Syracuse got away In
front and put up a good race for the
lead, which Syracuse finally took. Cor.
Greater enthusiasm marked the ap,
plause aa Smith proceeded but the
crowd appearantly was pretty well dl
vlded between the candidates.
"I have felt unkindly to Howell for
statements he has made misrepresent'
Ing me," said Smith, but have done I
so much I have come to the conclusion
that It la simply a lack of Informa
tion.”
If any ahtfde of preponderance In
sentiment marked the Joint debate,
waa for Smith, tii.iugii ."nsenrmtf
people Insist that the audience was
about evenly divided.
Smith said If lie was governor he
would demand the removal of Joo
Brown and favor the removal of War
ner Hill from the railroad commission,
concluding: "I make thla race against
you all four and undertake to beat the
field.” This defiance called forth an
ovation lasting several minutes.
Howell wrote nut an agreement con,
cernlng hi* statements as to the North
Carolina law, effective January 1, 1*05,
disqualifying voters not passing the
educational test. H# said If Smith
would sign ths. agreement and h*
(Howell) should lose on his statement
he would pay Miss Berry's school 61,-
000. 8mlth agreed to sign If he could
Insert a line stating "Including those
then registered.”
Pandemonium broke loose and both
sides yelled themselves hoarse. Howell
Hid It wna a different proposition with
the amendment. The agreement was
not signed. Both candidates were es
corted from the stage by admirers,
who swarmed on tho platform.
