HOWELL AND SMITH DEBATE.
Was Greeted by Audience of 1000 In
Columbus Theater,

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 11.-Though
the Howell-Smith debate has passed
into history, it will continue to be a
live topic of political discussion in
Georgia for many weeks, perhaps for
months to come.
For an hour and half each, before
an audience of 1000 voters, Clark How.
ell and Hoke Smith proceeded to dis,
sect, discuss and criticize, at times with
sarcastic narshness, each others politi.
cal record.
There was some element of bitter,
ness in this discussion, for the friends
of each candidate felt that they would
not spare words, and they did not.
They made some pretty plain, strong
statements about each other.
Easily the sensation of the debate
came when Mr.. Howell spoke abou
the deal made between Hoke Smith
and Tom Watson, by which he CHARGE
that Mr.. Smith had consented to sur.
render his convictions upon the dis,
franchisement proposition In return
for the support which he hoped might
lead to-his political preferment.
There is no doubt that tlis charge
almost staggered the audience, many
Of whom did not think it possible tae
written proofs could be produced. and
the hearers were even more astouund
ed when they were presented.
