The Popular tourist Coat.

Women that must practice econo-
my find that tourist coat obviates
the need of special travelling suit"
says Helen Berkeley-Loyd in the Sep
TENDER Delineator. "Its ample folds
completely hide the gown worn be-
meath, even while they protect it from
dust and travel stain. Indeed, among
the fortunate ones who need never
economic, there are those who omit
the travelling dress altogether, and
don instead an ordinary morning
frock when they set forth upon short
trip. The extreme popularity Of week
end visits to country homes at this
season of the year has created
strong demand for these coats, and,
in response the shops show large va
riety of models. Many Of these are of
light weight, suitable alike for auto
MODELLING or for short train trips The
white taffeta lining in the high cost
coat is not so incongruous as it would
seem at first glance. 1t proves of prac-
teal value to the woman, who, dain-
tily gowned, must travel by train or
motor, to attend dinner at a distant
country house, or fashionable even
ing function at the Country Club. The
lightweight coats. suitable for such
occasions, are of tussore, pongee.
Shanting and taffeta. The popular col
or are ecru, golden brown, the whole
gamut of blue, and reds. Cloth tourist
coats are of tweed, fancy mixtures,
checks and shadowy plaids.

WE HEARD HokE SMITH.

WE nEAnO TUNE Smi ~
During a recent visit to Atlanta we
had the good fortune to near Hon.
hoke Smith, candidate for the guber-
material nomination of Georgia, make
one of his famous campaign speeches.
Before he began his Grafton we fell
into conversation with a group of his
admirers and was told that we would
hear the greatest orator that Georgia
has ever produced, We were told that
he easily eclipsed Bob Toombs, How
ell Cobb. Alexander n. Stephens,
Benjamin H. Hill, or John B. Gordon.
Perhaps our anticipations were too
much exalted; our sights had been
raised too high.
At all events. the distinguished
speaker fell far short of our expecta-
lions.
He began his speech by saying that
he had spoken in one hundred and
forty of the one hundred and forty-five
counties of Georgia. The wear and
tear of such campaign was telling
on him. He was not in good voice, and
that portion of his speech that we
heard was devoted to repelling at
|tacks that he denounced as scandalous
and scurrilous and perhaps he was too
intent and earnest in his denuncia-
tions of them for the display of the
ornaments of speech.
His presence is commanding, but
his gestures are not particularly
graceful, and as campaign speaker
he is not captivating nor magnetic.
WHAT he says, however, is said in a
strong. forceful and impressive man.
ner, but he lacks the insinuating and
plausible manners, say, of Hon. Rob-
ert w. Davis, of this state, and the
sledge hammer eloquence and force of
Hon. r. A. Burford.
AS campaign speaker these two
II loridians can give him cards and
spades and beat him two to one in
the game.
OF course, it cannot be possible
that Hoke Smith trains in the same
class with the lamented Toombs, Ste
phens, Gordon and Hill.
We do not wish, however. to be
understood as saying he is not a
great speaker, for to sway the crowds
and receive the ovations that he has
during the past thirteen months
proves the futility of any such state
ment.
To listen to him one is impressed
with the fact that he possesses a
strong and powerful individuality, but
as a speaker he lacks the grace and
address, the wit and humor, the YER
satility and magnetism that make the
ideal campaigner.
Florida, in our judgment, has men
with far less reputation, that are his
superiors as campaign performers.
Hoke Smith, however, is all to the
good. He is now on the crest of a
popular wave and unless all signs fail
will receive the gubernatorial nomi-
nation by overwhelming odds. Con-
sentative men estimate that he will
carry one hundred of the one hundred
and forty-five counties of Georgia, and
when he is elected he will be the gov
ernor. No one else will pull the strings
for him.
The belief is general that as soon
as he gets into office 'there1I be
something doing"

eEoRGIA's CAPITOL AND HI
LEGISLATURE. -

While in Atlanta we took peep at
lGeorgia's capitol and glimpse at her
legislature, which was then in session.
Colonel West ESQ well known here).
president of the senate, presides with
ease and grace and has made a most
popular presiding officer. Although
Georgia has hundred and forty-five
counties, her senate is but little lar
ger than our own. Every senator on
an average represents four counties.
There is an effort now on foot to in
crease the number of senators, and it
perhaps will be done.
The house is a much larger body.
No legislature that has ever assem-
bled in Georgia has won its way into
such popular favor. Unlike the legisla-
ture of Florida, which comes in with
the blowing of trumpets, the legisla-
ture of Georgia went out with trum-
pets sounding in its ears.
1t is positively stated that the legis-
lature of Georgia, which adjourned
Wednesday, was not mixed up
with graft nor the suspicion of graft
of any kind. and the whole press OF
Georgia is singing it's praises.
Among the good things for which it
is praised most highly is the passage
of the child labor bill; the establish
ment of court of appeals for the
relief of the supreme court: the pas
sage of the Boylxin bucket shop bill,
which kills these establishments in
Georgia; the Wright bill for pure cleo
tons; the providing of the election, Of
railroad commissioners by the people,
and an appropriation to have Georgia
fittingly represented at the James
town exposition.
The bill that was uppermost the
day we were there and which called
forth thrilling and impassioned elo-
quence, was bill providing for an
appropriation of $4,000 to aid in the
erection of an equestrian statue to
Gen. John B. Gordon to be erected on
the capitol grounds.
This is a noble sentiment, for we
cannot honor our heroes too much,
and the enthusiasm it instills in the
passing generation compensates for.
all the money that the treasury Lose i
We are glad that Georgia think8'
SO much of her civil and military sons.
In the capitol in conspicuous places
are displayed large oil paintings and
statues of her gifted and distinguished
men.
We noticed oil paintings of Govern
or Oglethorpe, Alexander H. Stephens,
Governor George M. Troup, Send
Benjamin H. Hill, Representative
Crisp, DR.. Long and number of 9TH
ers. These exhibitions serve useful
and noble purpose in that they stir
the ambition of the young and cause
them to try and emulate the virtues
and reverence the characters of these
men.
This leads US to say that Florida
should emulate the example of Geor-
gia.
Not only the state, but our counties
should perpetuate in bronze or mar
BILE or on canvas the character of our
representative citizens.
Marion county should have in her
court house square a statue of her
civi and military hero, Gen. Robt. Bull
lock, and other civic and military chief
tains, as well as the Confederate mon
ument, the funds for which are now
being raised by our noble Daughters
of the Confederacy.

Decent Amusement % Provided for the
Worklnomen.
Aside from its working hours, Russia
rises superior to her neighbors in PRO.
viding decent amusement for the i'm
mense laboring class whose meager
earnings forbid them the amusements
OF the prosperous, says the Craftsman.
Nearly every Russian city has a min
iature Coney Island supported by the
state or municipalities, the prevailing
admission fees being from half cent
upward. st. Petersburg has the finest
and cheapest popular theater in Eu-
rope. Where racial and religious
considerations are not involved, the
Russian laws are superior to those of
many European countries. For ordi-
nary murders, capital punishment is
never inflicted, while the illegitimacy
statute, amended three years ago, is
the most liberal on earth, completely
annulling the social stigma and other
obstacles which usually attend this
misfortune, which in the case of chill
dren is nothing more. Unfortunate is
the word invariably employed to de-
scribe criminals and convicts.

A SAILOR ON SEA PICTURES.

A Few crltlclsms on Alleged Marine
Paintings.
It'll take sailor along with me the
next time buy a sea painting" said
a millionaire. II bought two marines
last month, and yesterday my old
friend. Capt. salthorse. had look at
them.
"Salthorse said:
In this picture we've got trad.
ing schooner in charge of tug tow.
ing away from a rock-bound coast
through a fearful tumble of sea. The
schooner's main topmast is gone, and
all sails are lowered except her stay
sail, which is being hoisted, though
she is towing hard on the gale. Why
that hoisted staysail? All hands, T
suppose, are drunk.
In the second picture continued
Capt. Salthorse, the principal boat, an
18.footer. is racing, yet has no flag fly
ing. That's as incorrect as it would
be for you to go to dinner party
minus q shirt. The crew Of this boat
are getting in the spinnaker, and, IL
they lower away, both spinnaker and
boom will be IN the water, for they.
have neglected to let the boom go for
ward. But ! know what the trouble Is
with them. They, too, are drunk"
