The meeting of the directors was
called to consider President Eagan' $
resignation and also to look into facts
developed in the report of Bank Ex-
aminer c. c. Jones. who spent two
days looking into the securities and
loans of the institution. AS a result of
his investigation, it was reported, con-
siderable questionable paper in addi-
ton to the paper accepted from the
Creelmans was found.
To clear the bank completely of all
unwarranted securities the directors
determined to put up the cash. This,
it is declared, amounted to 100000,
and there was no one to deny this
amount last night.
''I only can say" said Mr. Morton,
that President Eagan resigned volun-
tarily and that his resignation was ac-
cepted. I know nothing about his out
side business connections, if he had
any"
II resigned because thought the
bank needed some new blood" said Mr..
Eagan after the meeting of the direc-
tors. while it has been said that I
was connected with the Creelmans. L
wish to say that the use of my name
in their enterprise was never authorized.
I was the organizer of the Jackson
Trust & Savings bank. In retiring
from that institution I wish to declare
the utmost confidence in its stability"

HOKE SMITH WILL BE GEORGIA'
 GOVERNOR

MACON. Ga, Sept. 4.-The nomina- ton of Hoke Smith for governor of Georgia by the democratic convention heid in the Auditorium here today ends one of the bitterest and most sen sational campaigns in the history of southern politics. The battle was prac- tically settled at the primaries held on August p and the convention merely ratified the peoples choice.
 Hoke Smith IS a native of North Carolina, coming to Georgia when IT years of age. For many years he was the editor and proprietor of the At lanta Journal, and was secretary of the interior in President Cleveland's s cabinet.
 Smith made the race on a platform opposing the so-called state machine, advocating the dfsfranchisement of negroes and denouncing the ellaged railroad domination of Georgia off cials." As the nomination in Georgia is equivalent to election, it is probable that Smiths proposed law to keep the negroes from voting. framed on the Mississippi plan, will soon become a reality.
 . In his fight against "the machine"
Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-05

Smith had the enthusiastic support of the Hon. Tom Watson, once the pop ulist candidate for vice president. As a result, it is expected that many pop ulists will vote the democratic ticket this fall.
 Smiths chief opponent in the con test for the gubernatorial plum was Clark Howell, former speaker of the house, former president of the Georgia senate, now a national democratic committeeman and editor of the At lanta Constitution. For years Howell has been the undisputed leader of the Georgia democracy. When he an nounced that he wanted to become governor there was no one to deny him the honor-no one, that is, but Mrs. Hoke Smith.
 In an unfortunate moment Howell wrote an editorial for his paper in which he declared that Smith was DO litically a corpse and that he couldn't be elected to the office of dog catcher, or words to that effect.
 The editorial only excited the risi bilities of Smith, who dismissed il as one of the usual polite amenities of an opposition organ. It is said, and popularly believed, that at that time he had never seriously entertain ed a thought of making the race for governor.
 But Mrs. Smith read Howelfs edi- torial Then she got busy. She told her husband that her southedn pride had been outraged and dragged in the dust. She declared that the honor of the family was at stake. She demand ed revenge, and insisted that that re- venge take the form of -defecting Howell in his cherished ambition to become governor She assured Smith that he was the Real Big Noise in Georgia politics, and much more to the same effect.
 That was over year ago. The re- suit is history.
 There were three other candidates in the gubernatorial fight who also ran. These were J. H, Estill, editor of the Savannah News; Col. James Smith, a millionaire planter, and Judge Richard Russell, lawyer.
 Russell was in many respects one of the spectacular figures of the cam paign. He was insistent in his de nunciations of race suicide and referr- ed necessarily to his own large fam fly.
 'The supreme moment of my life,' he declared in one of his speeches, twill be when I walk up Peachtree street to the governors mansion with my dozen cotton-gowned children al my heels"

the full-orbed sun APPEARED over the
eastern hius. the soul OF Martha Susan
Llmson emerged from the shadows OF
earth into eternal day. Born in the
city OF Troy, y. Y. March q. 1924,
she had reached the ripe old age Of
cighty-two and "A half years. Her
early educational advantages were
fairly good. and for q time she was a
member OF Emma Wizards famous
school for girls
Her father, Captain Amos Rogers,
for many years sailed a ship which
ne himself owned. and the daughter
took one trip with him on the ocean.
Before she reached fun womanhOOd
her father left the sea. and the fam-
ily went to Griggsyille, ILL., Here her
thorough mastery OF the common
branches give her employment as a
teacher.
She had two happy matrimonial al
llances. The first. with Clinton Petrie
a man OF considerable means. resulted
In the birth OF four children. After
five years Of widowhood, she fifty
years ago married Samuel Lamson.
About this time came a great reverse

Petries business partner. The fruits
OF the latter marriage We're four daugl

she has been with her daughter in

ministered TO her wants.
In February. 1902. a slight paralytic

greatly weakened her memory; but
her lifelong delight in reading furn-
ished her the means OF contentment
