tempt was made to assassinate
(Jrnnd Duke Nicholas Nicholaie-
vitch, at a blank cartridge firing

It reams to be a well established (act
that the attempt to murder the Grand
Duke Nicholas was made while troops
were drilling in extended order and
engaged In volley fire. The grand
duke, surrounded by his officers anil
aides, was stationed well to one side
and out of the direct line of Are, so
that the attempt must have been de
liberate. The open order of the troops
makes It quite Impossible to tell from
what regiment the bullet was shot.

With only three more working days
ahead of It the general assembly will
do some tall hustling Monday, Tues
day and Wedneaday to clear the boards
of all pending and Important matters.
Already It looks Uke some rather Im
portant measures are doomed to death.
The Hall anti-pass bill Is evidently In
cold storage, and from present pros
pects even the Carswell antl-pas#
measure, which affects only members
of the general assembly, Is to meet a
similar fate.
Senator Wheatley Is making heroic
efforts to get hi* lieutenant governor
bill through the hnuae, but eo far has
met with fierce opposition. It may be
brought forward within the final wind
up and paes, as It Is understood that
there has been some change of front
among certain hitherto hot opponent#.
The senate ha* yet to act on the
state auditor mearure, and the Hall tax
assessor bill is on the table ready to
be taken up at any time. In light of
the fact that the tpiis* baa held back
on senate matters and the senate has
reciprocated In -.-art by passing litUs
recently but local house measures, a
mass of semi-local and general meas
ure# are pending In both branches.
Probably a ton of local matters of

slumber tranqul.ly until '.he end. The

related .to one,of-his opponents In a
ItllUltlU lu OUQkOL >’*
political campaign.
Patience baa ceased to be a virtue
and my self-respect makes further for
bearance Impossible. 1 feel sure that
In the course of his cowardly crusade
I have had th* good will of every good
citizen of this state who Is personally
well acquainted with either Mr. Smith
or myself.
Those who do not know* either of us
should be Informed at to tpe real
character of tho blatant bully who has,
through no fault of my own, made me
the constant target of his malicious In
nuendoes.
The -first time I ever heard of him,
hla name was. reeking with the slime of
so foul a scandal that fond mothers
Stopped their daughters’ ears when hie
name was uttered and Idle schoolboys,
vying with one another In vulgarity
wrote that name on back fencea and
outbuildings.
From tbat day to this hie name has:
been the synonym of selfishness, du
plicity, hypocrisy and cowardice.
He has not hesitated to slander his
superiors ' whenever that course could
be made to serve hla purposes, and In
every case has evaded responsibility by
recourse to shameless subterfuges.
Today he stands branded In the col
umns of the public press and In private
letters, by eminent cttlsen* of Geor-
la who nave exhausted the range of
_ngllsh adjectives from razor-back to
hypocrite, and from character assassin
to common liar. In their efforts to cor
rectly characterize this swaggering
swashbuckler with whom no man's
reputation Is considered sacred.
There Is not a member of his own
profession, who la familiar with his
methods, who does not. In his heart,
hold him responsible for unfortunate
conditions that have followed hi* per
nicious example, and few men In hie
own community would trust his loyalty
or fidelity with hie own selfish Interest
at stake.
I am Indeed sorry to tire the patience
of the public In presenting this picture
of the miserable mountebank who has
sought to Impose upon their credulity
by sowing secret poison and broadcast
ing whispered threat* against me,
among the people with whom I have
sought to lead a peaceful life tqr forty
years. No pen can paint the pitiful
picture of this captious charlatan who
has never In his life been consistent
save in the discord he has sown and
the ruin he haa wrought. I will not
further pursue the effort of portrayal.
Those of the public who continue to
hold interest in the Dempsey case can
read the sworn allegation* of Mr.
Dempsey which are on file In the office
of the clerk of the city court of At-
lanta.
■ If these sworn statement* are true,
as the affidavit of Mr. Dempsey seem*
to assure, then the apparition of shack
le* and stripes conjured up by the
seared conscience of Mr. Smith Is easi
ly to be accounted for, and there la
substance In the phantom formed from
hla frantic fancy.

ALBERT HOWELL, Jr.
October, 1902, he employed Hoke Smith
as attorney to collect a claim for dam-
ages'agafnst the W. & A. railroad, the
agreement being that he was to give
up 20. per cent of the settlement as at
torney’s fee.
About June 1, 1901, he sets-forth, he
was summoned by Mr. Smith and told
that he could get a settlement of *2,600,
but no more, and Mr. Smith advised
him to accept It. Thereupon he agreed.
Tatter, he says, Mr. Smith had him
execute a voucher of the W. 6b A. rail
road for *2,600 In consummation of ths
settlement.
Then, he sots forth, Mr. Smith took
possession of the vouoher and endeav
ored to settle with Dempsey by paying
him two-thirds of the amount, retain
ing ons-thtrd as fee.
But after a lengthy argument, he
says, agreed that he was entitled to
only one-fifth and gave Dempsey n
check for *1,419.16.
Then, he says, ha afterwards learned
that his attorney had proposed to set
tle for *>,000 and not for any sum less
until after ho had come to terms of
agreement with Dempsey as to fee.
Then the petition sets forth:
18. Your petitioner shows that his at
torney, In offering to the representa
tives of eald railroad company to set
tle his claim for the sum of *1,600 at
tached the condition that two other
claims against said company In favor
of parties represented by the said Hok*
Smith should also be sattlad at th*
same time, so that the aggregate sum
to be paid by the railroad company In
settlement of the three claims would
amount to approximately *1,000.
17. Your petitioner says that h
hla at

or Intimate to him that this proposition
had been made to the railroad company
or accepted by It* representatives or
that the rights of your petitioner were,
In any way, connected with, or depend

ney.
IS. Your petitioner allege* that said
railroad company, through Its repre

sition of settlement, whereupon your

EMPSEY FILES SUIT
AGAINST HOKE SMITH
Butt waa filed In the office of the
clerk of the superior court Friday af
ternoon by Bam D. Dempsey against
Hon. Hoke Smith. In this suit Mr.
Dempsey seeks to recover the.sum of
2809, with Interest from June 4, 1902,
alleged to ba due from a settlement Mr.
Smith effected for him with the West-
era and Atlantic railway aa the result
a damage cult.
by said attorney, but that said compa
ny refused to consolidate said settle
ment* In the manner proposed and re
quired eald attorney to obtain the ex
ecution of separate vouchers In favor
of each of said client*.
19. Your petitioner says that his at
torney, thereupon, directed the repre
sentatives of said railroad company to
prepare a voucher for 9.1,800 In favor of
your petitioner and separata vouchers
for hi# other two clients for the re
maining sum Involved In the settle
ment. Your petitioner say* that this
afforded to the representative* of said
railroad company their first Intimation
that It was th* purpose and Intention
of said attorney to apportion to your
petitioner the sum of only 12,600 In set
tlement of hie claim for damage*.
The petitioner then sen forth that
"when he discovered the true condi
tion" he wrote a letter to Hoke Smith
asking about 11, but that Mr. Smith,
instead of replying, caused an attache
of tha office to seek a personal Inter-
Vl Another letter, he set* forth, drew
the response that on January 21, 1908,
Mr. Smith would leave th* city to be
gone a week and would, upon his re
turn, take up the matter again,
22. Since that time, the petition
goes on, your petitioner ha* received no
further direct communication from Mr.
Smith aa promised In his letter, but
Shortly afterward* one Frank M.
Hughes, an attorney at law. called upon
your petitioner at bis brother’s resi
dence. stating that he was a warm per-
sons! friend of petitioner's attorney,
Hoke Smith, and that he wanted to get
all of the fact* alth reference to your
g itmoner's claim against the said Hoke
mlth, stating that he coyld get your
petitioner’s money from the said Hoke
24. This visit following the letter from
Mr. Smith, which stated that be,
Smith, would take the matter up again
the city, and your petitioner hearing
nothing from the said Hoke Smith,
through any other medium, believed
and still believe* that the Attorney
Hughes was sent to him by the said
Hoke Smith, and your petitioner con
fidently and continuously expected that
a prompt settlement -of his claim
against the said Hoke Smith would
follow said visit, but that, on the con
trary, very recently the said Attorney
Hughes has undertaken to persuade
and Induce your petitioner to release
and abandon his claim against said
Hoke Smith, and when your petitioner
refused so to do, threstened your peti
tioner with arrest and prosecution.
26. Your petitioner say* that the con
duct of the said Hoke Smith in en
cumbering his claim against said rail
road company with other claims, repre
sented by said attorney, without th*
.knowledge of your petitioner, and the
conduct of said attorney In keeping
your petitioner In Ignorance of the of
fer of settlement of your petitioner's
claim, under said condition* for 11,600,
and in withholding from your petition
er the agreement of said Western and
Atlantic Railroad Company to settle
said case, under the circumstances
above detailed, constitutes a breach of
faith amounting to a legal fraud upon
your petitioner, who saye, that In law
and good morals he Is entitled to re
cover the sum of 91.000, for which
said attorney proposed to settle the
claim of your petitioner, less *200 at
torney’s fees, and for which said claim
could have been settled with said com
pany without Involving the rights of
your petitioner with the Interests of
other clients of said attorney.
He seta forth In bla petition that in with your petitioner noon bis return to building.

Abdul Hamid II la a frail little man

Abdul Hamid II was fated to 'll* be

decreed that only one heir to the throne
waa to be permitted to live. This wm
the most effective way of avoiding nnv
questions as to the succession. The
sultan became ruler when his brother.
Murad V' was deposed after having
been declared Insane. It I* popularly
supposed that the ruling characti-rlstlu
of Abdul Hamid Is cowardice. As a
youth lie was courageous, even to
recklessness, but constant fear of as

The sultaln maintains the most ex

amount to about 28,000,000 ench year
This Includes the money spent by th*
