SMITH'S RECORD ■ ON NE GR O DISFRA NCHISEMENT To the Editor of The Georgian: Enclosed please flnd a copy of my answer to an editorial from The At lanta Journal of Its Issue of the 19th Inst. Please publish It In The Oeorglan. Tours very respectfully, JAMES M. SMITH. Smlthsonla, Da., July 24, 1906. To The Atlanta Journal: On fcy return home 1 anil a clipping Of your editorial from your Issue ot July 19, which was sent me by a friend, In which you charge me with being op posed to disfranchisement of the no gn> and white supremacy, and In favor of one of the Atlanta rings. This edi torial appears to be based on a letter written to The Journal by P. M. Cheney.' I have not seen P. M. Cheney's let ter because the Issue of The Journal of the 19th Inst, failed to reach me, which 1 regret. I have been a constant reader and subscriber to Tho Journal since It was established. The constitution and laws of the state do not permit any one to be con victed without a hearing. You will, therefore, please allow me to briefly state In the columns of your valuuble paper my side of the case. In 1646 Oglethorpe county was rep. resented In the legislature by a negro 1 did everything I could to prevent thin but did not succeed. At the next legls. lstlvc election It was resolved by the Democrats of Oglethorpe county, that such should not occur again. Captain John C. Reed, then a worthy and valu able cltlsen of Oglethorpe county) now likewise such a cltlsen of Atlanta, pre- vsdled on the sheriff of Oglethorpe County to appoint Ilfty deputy sheriffs to be on hand during the three days' election which was held In 1874. At that time Oglethor|« county contained nearly four thousand negro and less than on* thousand white voters. On the second day of the election at least three thousands negro voters, In solid phalanx, approached the court house door with the Intention of taking possession of the polls nnd electing negroes to the legislature again. When the head of the negro column reached the doorsteps, Captain Reed nnd his fifty deputies met them. Captain Reed, standing on the court house doorsteps, between the negroes and the ballot box, surrounded by his deputies, pulled his watch from his pocket, nnd holding It open In his hand, said: "This Is a white man's country. Tho white man must and shall rule, or per ish In the attempt. I will now give you negroes and your white allies three minutes In which to disperse; other wise I will not be responsible for re sults." These three minutes were crltcal ones. Every one stood silent und half breathless, not knowing whether at the end of these three minutes peace or war, life or death; would ensue. Th* negroes and their allies sudden ly broke ranks and walked away. Two white Democrats were elected tit the legislature, and negro rule In Ogle thorpe county. In these brief three min utes, was broken and white supremacy established. It has stood from that day to tills without Interruption, u period of more than thirty-six years. Slnco that day no negro has over held any office or-served on a Jury In Uglethorpo county. I was one of Captain John C. Reed's deputies. Mr. P. M, Cheney was not. "Where was Roderick then?" Ills politics at that time was doubt ful or unknown. If the while people had displayed the sume patriotism und courage In other states of the Houth, th* story of recon struction woukl have been cut short. Even the heat of a political campaign ddes not Justify of excuse a whlto man In Georgia, even at this late a day. In charging Captain John C. Reed, or any ot his deputies, with being opposed to white supremacy. The younger generations know but littlo of the trials nnd dangers through which white Democrats passed in the day* of reconstruction. This la only one Instance of many others whero white Democrats staked their live* und liberties to restore and enthrone white supremacy. All four of my opponents combined, with Mr. P. M. Cheney thrown In for good measure, have never done more, If so much. In behalf of white su premacy as was done on that day. Shame on any man who will write disparagingly of the Democrats of re construction days. Beginning with 1876 I was a member of the general assembly of Georgia for about ten consecutive years. Every time I was elected I first submitted my candidacy to n white Democratic pri mary. 1 have never been a candidate tor any office without my nomination being first submitted to a white Dem ocratic primary. Since the day the negro was first en franchised, and continuously up to this time, I have never had any political in terest, nr any other Interest, causing me to favor the negro as a voter, I never oast a vote as a member of the Democratic executive committee, or In any other capacity. In favor of allow ing the negro to vote. I am In no way responsible for what a majority of the Democratic executive committee at dif ferent times inay or may not have done. I was not a member of the Democratic state executive committee at the time named by you. If Mr. P. M. Cheney, yourself, or any of the other candidates for governor, will do ss much as 1 have done toward helping the white man to rule this state for the past forty years, then I will take pleasure In congratulating you. Pour years ago I voted against what was then termed the “railroad ring/' How many and who of the present ran dldates for governor did the same thing? How many anti who of the pres ent candidates for governor voted for {he candidate whom some of them now term "the railroad ring candidate? 1 Produce the evidence, If you can, showing any leaning whatever on my part, at any time, towaril "ring rule, the railroads or corporations, or Clark Howell, or negro domination. Such assertions without evidence to sustain them arc wholly unfair and un justifiable. In becoming a candidate for gover nor, 1 am doing Just what Hon. Hoke Smith and The Atlanta Journal both If You Will See that this seal Is on every roll of Roofing you buy. WE will see that you get value received for your money.
