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 hla sup
porters In the legislature did not press
the bill by Representative Bose, of
Upson, to disfranchise the negro at
the session recently closed. This gen
tleman 'a 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 dletrlct.
If the hint thrown out by this gen
tleman la 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 eald: ”lf Hoke
Smith, after his Inauguration next
June, will send a message to the leg
islature recommending the passage ot
a law declaring that Inasmuch as the
fifteenth amendment wae never legally
enacted and therefore not binding on
any etate 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 Made.
“The effect of thle,” he further said,
“would be that a teat 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 what do you base that be
lief?" he was asked.
'The supreme court has already de
cided," he declared, "that the eecedlng
states were never legally cut 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 Btlll
entitled to this representation, and no
law was valid without a majority vote,
counting the Southern representation,
nor no law proposing an amendment
this national constitution valid
binding unless It received the vote of
two-thirds of both houses, Including the
representation due but denied the se
ceding states. Asa matter of fact, the
seceding states \Vre then In the Union,
but, under the lash of old Thad Ste
vens, were denied representation."
Supreme Court Decision.
The eupreme court can not stultify
Itself, In hla opinion, and, therefore,
will be forced to hold that this statute
la not binding on any state whatsover.
"Furthermore,” he continued, "the
Journal of the national house shows
that not two-thirds 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 tha seceding
states were coerced In this ratification
by the threat that they would not be
given back their statue 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, os 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
Utica! connection with the powers to
be, the question naturally arises, la
this to be the new policy of -the new
governor?

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 55,000, and told her
to ask no questions, has been arrested
on the charge of bigamy and wits
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

ley, although before that time he had
been an Episcopalian. He wae given
u professorship In a Catholic collage
at Washington, and from the national,
capital he went to the Philippines,
where he remained two years at the
head of the parochial schools.
During hie term as school teacher
Frye studied law. Eventually he waa
admitted to the bar, and became a
partner of Edmund B. Briggs, whom
Mre. Goddard has engaged to prosecute
Frye. After two years In the Philip

Hurley and resumed his law practice.
He took part In politics and tried for

from William Jennings Bryan relative
to the Nebraskan’s vlelt to Atlanta dur
ing the state fair In October:
Parle, France, Aug. 1$, 1906.
Mr. Frank Weldon, Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Sir: I appreciate the Invi
tation extended by the Georgia Weekly
Press Association in connection with
the fair Invitation, but am not aura
yet whether I can accept. I shall be
home for so short a time and will have
so much on my hands that I may not
be able to make a trip South at that
time.
If I cannot come It will be more of a
disappointment to me than to the peo
ple there, for I always visit Georgia
with pleasure. Very truly yours,
(Signed) W. J. BRYAN.

Chief Jennings Issues Spe
cial Instructions Follow
ing Criminal Assaults.
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. 169.
On account of the frequent aesaulta
and other crimes which have been
committed In and around the city
recently, the men are directed to re
double their energies In apprehending
and arresting all loRfers, Idlers and
loiterers about tha city, and use every
lawful meant to rid the dty 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 diacusaed 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 noml
nate by delegates from each county to
the convention, with same represen
tation as In the gubernatorial conven
tlon.
The executive commute of that dis
trict directed that a,majority vote of
the entire district should rule in thle
Instance, and while Congressman Lewis
has about 500 majority, Hon. Dudley
Hughes has a majority of counties.
Lewis carried the following counties:
Macon, 405; Pulaski, 250; Wilcox, 300;
Doooly, 196; Crisp, 255; Lee, 8.
Hughes carried the following; Hous
ton, 263: Crawford, 145; Twiggs, 216;
Taylor, 40; Sumter, 50; Webster, 12;
Stewart, 43; Schley, 27.
'It waa also suggested that a uniform
way should be named to nominate can
didates. Judges and United States sen
ators In Georgia are nominated by di
rect vote, as well as In this one district.
The governor and the other congress
men are ‘till elected by the people di
rect.
A gentleman at the capitol who la a
keen observant of the trend of affairs,
thinks that the quoting of Colonel
Hughea aa to Indorsing Congressman
Brantlev might have caused the de
flection of several nundred Hoke Smith
votes from t Je 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 vott of the people.
