Sale at Bijou Box Office. Next Week—VAUDEVILLE. From a hint let out by a prominent and ardent supporter of Hon. Hoke Smith at the capitol there may be found the reason why he and his sup- porters In the legislature did not press the bill by Representative Rose, of Upson, to disfranchise the negro at the session recently closed. This gen tleman Is prominent in the affairs of the state, and Is a close personal as well as political friend of Congress man Thomas W. Hardwick, of the Tenth district. If the hint thrown out by this gen tleman Is adopted as the policy of Governor-elect Smith and his follow ers, It will mean a direct attack upon the legal enactment of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. This amendment Is as follows: "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be de nied or abridged by the United States, or any state, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude." > In speaking of the matter, this ar dent Smith supporter said: "If Hoke Smith, after his Inauguration next June, will send a message to the leg islature recommending the passage of a law declaring that Inasmuch as the fifteenth amendment was never legally enacted and therefore not binding on any state of the union, the negro therefore does not possess, either In law or morals, any right to the fran chise, and thereby Is barred as a voter In this or any other state, just as a Chinaman, Jap. Mexican or Indian. ■ Test Case Mads. "The effect of this,” he further said, "would be that a test case would Im mediately be carried to the supreme court of the United States, and I firm ly believe." he added, “that that court will declare this fifteenth amendment Illegally enacted and therefore void." "Upon yvhat do you base that be lief?” he was asked. "The supreme court has already de cided," he declared, "that the seceding stntes were never legally out of the union, that while they rebelled, they were In point of fact still component parts of the union. "That being true, any law passed by congress submitting an amendment to the federal constitution to the states for ratification must be passed by two thirds of . both houses of the national congress, and ratified by three-fourths of the states of the union. "Now," said he, “It Is a well-known fact that the South at the time con gress passed the bill proposing this fifteenth amendment had no represen tation whatever In congress. If we never went out of the Union, as the supreme court decided, we were still entitled to this representation, and no law was valid without a majority vote, counting the Southern representation, nor no law proposing an amendment to this national constitution valid or binding unless It received the vote of two-thirds of both houses. Including the representation due but denied the se ceding states. As a matter of fact, the seceding states ,%'ie then In the Union, but, under the lash of old Thad Ste vens, were denied representation." Supreme Court Decision. The supreme court can not stultify Itself, In his opinion, and, therefore, will be forced to hold that this statute Is not binding on any state whatsover. "Furthermore," he continued, "the Journal of the national house shows that not two-thlrda are recorded as be ing present the day this amendment was passed, but that It was rushed through on a viva voce vote, a clear violation of the constitution Itself. “In addition It required three- fourths of the state legislatures to rati fy this amendment, and the seceding states were coerced In this ratification by the threat that they would not be given back their status In congress, unless they did ratify It, and under this coercion they did so.” This will put Georgia at the very forefront of all the Southern states In forever settling this vexed negro voting problem, and If the supreme court up holds this contention, as he believes they will, It will create more general comment In this country than the fa mous Dred Scott decision, rendered be fore the war. Considering the gentleman's close po litical connection with the powers to be, the question naturally arises. Is this to be the new policy of the new governor?

POLICE ORDERED TO CLEAN CITY NOMINATION PLAN IN District Adopts Different Election Methods— Con siderable Discussion. PRODIGAL HUSBAND SUED ON CHARGE OF BIGAMY By Private Leased Wire. Chicago, Aug. 25.—Charles H. Frye, the former professor at the Chicago Normal School, who, after an absence of thirty years, recently returned to hie wife, gave her |5,000, and told her to ask no questions, has been arrested on the charge of bigamy and wife abandonment. A woman from Hurley, In South Dakota, swore out the war rant for his arrest today. A few days before Frye appeared In Chicago a lawyer In Hurley, known as G. P. Goddard, deserted his wife and family, after converting his property Into cash. Goddard had become an ac tive member of the Roman Catholic church after a short residence In Hur ley, although before that time he had been an Episcopalian. He was given a professorship.in a Catholic college at Washington, and from the national capital h& went to the Philippines, where he remained two years at the head of the parochial schools. During hla term as achool teacher Frye studied law. Eventually he was admitted to the bar, and became a partner of Edmund B. Briggs, whom Mrs. Goddard haa engaged to prosecute Frye. After two year* In the Philip pines Fry, nr Goddard, returned to Hurley and resumed hie law practice. He took part In pollttca and tried for election to a number of county office,.

The following special order, which speaks for Itself, was Issued late Fri day afternoon by Chief Jennings to the Atlanta police force: “Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24, 1906. "Special Order No. 159. "On account of the frequent assaults and other crime* which have been committed In and around the city recently, the men are directed to re double their energlea In apprehending and arresting all loafers, Idlers and loiterers about the city, and uae every lawful means to rid the city of all profligate persons. (Signed) "HENRY JENNINGS, "Chief of Police." Among the officials and callers at the state capitol, the unique cit ation In the Third congressional district was generally discussed Saturday. The mode of nomination In that dis trict this year will be entirely different from that In either of the other ten dis tricts In the state, and also different from that of the governor. In all districts the mode Is to nomi nate by delegatee from each county to the convention, with same represen tation as In the gubernatorial conven tion. The executive commute of that dle- Ict directed that a majority vote of e entire district should rule In this Instance, and while Congressman Lewis has about 800 majority, Hon. Dudley Hughes haa a majority of counties. Lewis carried the following counties: Macon, 405: I’ulaskl, 260: Wilcox, 300: Doooly, 398: Crisp, 258; Lee, 8. * Hughes carried the following: Hous ton, 263: Crawford, 145: Twiggs, 216: Taylor, 40; Sumter, 50; Webster, 11; Stewart, 43; Schley, 27. It waa alao suggested that a uniform way should be named to nominate can dldatea. Judges and United States sen atora In Georgia are nominated by dl rect vote,' as well as In this one district. The governor and the other congress men are dill elected by the people dl rect. A gentleman at the capitol who le a keen observant of the trend of affaire, thinks that the quoting of Colonel Hughes as to Indorsing Congressman Brantlev might have caused the de flection of several nundred Hoke Smith votes from tie Hughes’ column. At any rate, the coming convention at Macon would do the party a great service by declaring that all nomina tions In the future should be made by direct vote of the people.
