When the middle-agcd lawyer oi
whom the Washington Post tells was
IA young man he had n position in the
office of a man who has q great rcputa-
ton for ability and integrity.
Naturally the young man felt his re
sponsibllty. II was soon plain to him
that the head of the firm had outlived
his usefulness. and the youngster used
to feel sorry to think what would hap
pen to his employer if he ever left him.
The young man was not treated In
that office with all the Difference he
thought due him, and one day, when
somebody went too far. he entered his
employers private Office and unbur-
dcncd his mind.
Sheer magnanimlty made him over
look n lot of things, but he did not neg
lect to say that he would not endure
such treatment another day. He was
going to leave, and at once. Then he
paused to give the head of the firm a
chance to apologize and beg him not to
luin him by leaving.
His employer did not look UP from
his desk. lie simply said to the young
man. In a polite tone:
please don't slam the door when
you 20 out.

Four other delegates at the cherokee
hotel request that their votes be record
ed for Hoke Smith, making total OF e
|. for him, as against 22 Tor all the otner
candidates.
Secretary, Hon. M. l.. Duggan, OF
Hancock, says that The journal may
quote him as saying that all the com
missiorers with whom be has discussed
politics are of the opinion that Hoke
Smith will carry their counties by large
majorities.

Estill, but sad that bis county would go
for Hoke Smith. The Madison county
delegate voted for Jim Smith, but said
that if the election should take place now
Hoke Smith would carry his county.
He added. however, that when the cleo
ton is held, Jim Smith would carry the

going to let Hoke Smith be governor.
Hon. Lawrence Duffey, delegate from

dates in his county.
! Hon G. G. Strange, of Banks, in
Judge Russell's circuit, says that he
\ believes Hoke Smith will carry his
county.
The above illustrates how these dele
gates view the guber natorial situation.
It is the concensus of opinion OF these
4 delegates that the people of Georgia are

Smith that there is no chance for the
\ politicians to defeat him, and that 1T will
