The little passage between Hon.
Clark Howell and Hon. Hoke Smith
is very interesting The Press has
kept up with it from start to finish,
and has given Savannah the principal
information in regard to this interest
inc and unexpected Development.
The Howells and the Smiths are
old time political enemies in Atlanta.
Time was when the elder Howell ed
tied the Constitution and Hoke Smith
owned the Atlanta Journal. They
were very close rivals in business ana
in politics. and when the Constitution
took the David B. Hill end OF the
democratic controversy in 1872 the
Journal had the good sense to take
the Grover Cleveland side. Every
body remembers that contest. 1t was
decided in favor of Grover Cleveland
by the action of Chatham county,
which sent Cleveland delegates to the
state convention thirteen years ago.
The majority in the state convention
was very small, but Hon. Pope Bar
row of Chatham was elected president
OF the convention as a Cleveland man.
The Georgia delegates to Chicago
were uninstructed, but the majority OF
them voted for Cleveland. Hon.
Hoke Smith was pressed by Judge L..
O. c. Lamar upon Mr.. Cleveland for
a member of the cabinet. He was
looked upon as the anti-Hill, anti
Howell type in Georgia, and he was
elevated to the cabinet as secretary OF
interior. The HOwells waited, and
when the free silver issue developed
thev cot even with Cleveland by TAX
ING up that cause and carrying Geor-
ola over the head of the cabinet Off
GER. The associated press telegraph
ed from Atlanta in 1896 that the capt.
tai city and the ward in which Mr.
Hoke Smith lived had decided for free
silver. They made it so warm that
Mr.. Smith had to resign from the
cabinet and come home to his paper,
which lust then found itself out OF
touch with the masses in Georgia.
| HOke Smith had the argument on his
side, of course, but the HOweIlS had
the people with them.
The candidacy of Hoke Smith al
this time would be peculiarly pointed.
Mr.. Smith is a successful lawyer, Is
credited with being wealthy man
and would contest with Mr.. Howell
! Fulton county itself. He has always
been looked upon as anti-cOrporatlOn
in his views: his opinions and his law
practice are that way. So when Hon.
! Clark Howell challenged him to COM
! pare records on the corporation ques-
/ ton Hoke Smith was visibly nettled.
This record is just where he believes

ruE cROwTH OF ADVERTISING.

The Atlanta Evening News, which,
by the way, is one of the brightest
and liveliest newspapers to be found
in the whole country, recently carried
in one issue sixteen pages of adver-
Using for an Atlanta firm of mer-
chants. This firm, who has given the
subject of advertising long and care
full study, is convinced that it pays to
use a large amount of space in a sim
gle newspaper. The experiment was
begun by using two pages at time,
and gradually this was increased un-
til the climax was reached with the
sixteen page exhibition.
Recently the Chattanooga News
closed a contract with the Miller Bros.
Company of that city for a very large
amount of advertising space to be
used during the year. This contract
is one of the largest ever given to a
southern newspaper by a department
store, and it came after several years
of experimentation by this firm in adj
vertising. They believe in using a
large amount of space. They have
demonstrated that it pays. The May
number of the Cosmopolitan maya
zine contained twenty pages of adver-
Using from one advertiser, which
doubtless breaks the record for maya
zine advertising in this country. That
is to say, it was more space than was
ever used before in one issue Of a
magazine by one advertiser. 1t sug-
gests the question as to which pays
better, large amount of space or
small advertisements. That the in
clination toward larger space is we'll
nigh universal with the big advertis-
ers of the country is proved.

THE GIFT OF SILENCE.

William Nelson Cromwell has been
elevated to the position of adviser
and peace-maker in chief to the war
ring Equitable interests, and has sig
nalized his entry into office by advis-
ing everybody concerned to keep his
mouth shut. Wherein, says the Sa-
vannah Press, Mr.. Cromwell has al
ready gone far toward earning his
salary. If he succeeds in making his
Injunction effective there will be no
further question of his high value.
Its a great thing" says our con-
tempOrary-''t 1.-The value of silence.
There are persons who possess it in a
remarkable degree, and these in al
most every instance are the men fate
selects for her favors and upon whom
fortune delights to shower honors.
When opportunity pays her single
visit they are not so busy talking that
thew fail to recognize this very tran
sient guest.
f'And when we say silence we do not
mean dumbness. There are occasions
when men must speak, and speak to
the point. When that hour arrives he
who can keep his own counsel and has
done so finds he has something to say,
and what he says commands attention.
He has not excited needless antago-
nisms by talking wildly or foolishly
at random.
"A great thing is silence. Contrast
is effective in this world of ours, and
We all listen when the silent man opens
his mouth. Usually we are reward

The Challenge Issued The HOweIs
and the Smiths in Georgia Politics
From the savannah Press.

himself to be strong, and where he
evidently considers his opponent to
be weak. He answers Mr.. Howell $
dare with spirit, and confesses that 1t
NAV bring him out as candidate for
governor.
Now, Hoke Smith has never been
a candidate for any public Office IN
Georgia. He has closely interested
himself with educational work, having
been president of the public school
system in Atlanta for long time. He
has been identified with the reform
element of the party, as The Press has
already said. The Parker victory IN
Georgia last July was largely due to
.HOke Smiths personal effort. He is
the embodiment of opposition to the
present political regime. He Is very
strong in Georgia, particularly IN
south Georgia. The Press doubts
whether he will run for governor at
this time, although his friends say
that he may be brought out for gov
ernOr or United States senator in the
future. The HOwells have always
been in public life. They have never
hesitated to make the issue in Fulton
county before the people. Even +.
Howell has been member of the house
twice for Fulton county and state SEN
ator from the Thirtyffth district.
Clark Howell has been twice mem
Der of the house and has twice repre-
scented the same district. Even How
ell has been elected mayor Of the city.
Hoke Smith was spoken of as execu-
tive committeeman from Georgia in
1892, but the personal popularity OF
Clark Howell kept the latter in place
in spite of the Cleveland boom.
There is Clark HOwellS strength.
Personally he is very popular and ge-
NAL: knows more men by name in the
state than anybody outside of Joe Ter
rell or Treasurer Park. OF course he
will have the Constitution back OF
him. while HOke Smith will probably
have the Journal behind him. Each
man will have access to a barrel Ii ne
runs. The reform element in democ-
racv is said to be restless for a
| change. 1t was stirred up by DUPONT
| Guerry two years ago. 1t may be
further brought out by HOke Smith
next year. Both men are strong rep
resentatives of their school of politics.
1.-The men who control, If they win
at all, can best win with Clark How
I ell. The reform element, if they have
any hopes, are wise to center them on
| HOke Smith. This contest would, OF
course. wipe out the line between north
and south Georgia, but it would en-
| phasize the issues between the different
elements of the democratic party IN
this state.

WOULD FEED ON THE SCUM.

A great deal is being said by some
of the newspapers, commercial bodies
and the railroads about the necessity
for an immigration bureau in Georgia.
The cambridge Search Light has ex-
pressed some pointed views on the
subject which The News endorses.
Our contemporary says;
"The chances are that the next
legislature will have before it
another spasm of immigration
talk. The scheme to spend money
through an immigration bureau is
one that can rid the state treasury
of a great many dollars at short
notice, and should be squelched at
once. What the state needs is the
natural influx of good citizens to
this section, and they will come
lust as fast without the aid of an
immigration bureau, whose ankle
ty would be to make as big show
down as possible, and would there
fore feed the law on the scum OF
civilization.

ANTI-CoRPoRArIoN RECORDS.

The Savannah Morning News
whose able and distinguished editor
looked upon as a probable candidat
for governor of Georgia, thinks Their
will be more important issues in tn
campaign than the question of whethe
Hon. Clark Howell or Hon. Hok
Smith has the most violent antl-cor
poration record. The Morning New
takes the high ground that justic
should be done both the people ant
the corporations, and in the course o
= very sensible and conservative edi
torial along this line says:
1.-THE inference from the state
ments of these gentlemen is that
they think in order to be strong
with the people they must appear
to be great fighters of corpora
tionS.
"But wouldn't they be stronger
with the people-all fair minded
people-if they could show they
have stood squarely for what was
right and just as between the peo-
ple and the corporations? Why
should either Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Howell wish to appear before the
public as having an anti-corpora-
ton record? Do they not believe
in being just to the corporations,
in dealing with them fairly? If
they do why do they not prefer to
have record for insisting upon
what is right for both corporations
and the people rather than for a
record as fighters Interpretations?
1.-THE people don't want the cor
porations wrecked. They couldn't
get along without them. In fact,
they are calling for them all the
time to build railroads, mills and
to engage in other sorts OF enter
priseS for the development of the
state. The purpose of a states
man, therefore, should be to have
them dealt with justly-tO see to 1t
that they get what they are en-
titled to and nothing more, and
that they do not become the OPP
pressors of the people. If this is
the right position why should an
anti-cOrporation record be thought
so desirable by anyone seeking the
sutfrages of the people?'

SOMETIMES THEY RESIGN.

1t has been said that in Georgia the
man who holds Office, no matter of
what character, may die but he never
resigns. This old witticism, for such
il was doubtless intended to be, will
no longer hold good, due to the eccen-
tricities of number of estimable
gentlemen of this state. In the past
few months there have been several
designations from the supreme and
the superior court benches, a week or
two ago a member of the legislature
resigned, and few days ago the
Perry board of education broke the
record as to designations. Without
any friction or unpleasant feeling on
the part of any one twO-thirds of the
members of the board resigned. The
school at Perry, like the Dawson
schools, is under special law, and
IS conducted by a self-perpetuating
board.
Perhaps there was never before such
an incident in the school annals OF
this state The retiring members, who
had given loyal and faithful service to
the school interests of Perry, thought
they had served long enough, and
that it would be best for others to as
sumo the duties of their responsible
positions.
