trip that brought him within hailing
distance of the latter's domain. The
meeting between the Russian and
British monarchs aroused harsh cen
sure in a section of the German press
which affected to see in it a conspiracy
against the welfare of Germany. On
the other hand, many Of the English
papers regard it as having promoted
international peace by Strengthening
the bonds of friendship between the
empires represented.
As may be seem in the accompany

to show his age. His gentle

that well groomed and youthful aspect
which makes her seem a comparative
Iy young woman, although she has
been grandmother these many years.

of fday Governor Frederick j.
signed the bill passed the
the legislature last week to
hase the home of ex President
Inc Smith, on West Peachtree .
et aud to use it as a memorial
to commerata the services of
distinguished statesman to the
sou monwealth of Georgia. 1t is
ID honor worthily bestowed and
one that meets the hearty approval
Of the best people of the state re-
CARELESS of political preferences.
true it is that time plays |
many pranks upon the peoplel
This may be seen when we remind
our readers that yesterday was the
'fiftieth anniversary of the famous
political gathering that met to
nominate Joseph M. Brown for
governor of the state, to succeed
Hoke Smith whom he defeated
after a term of one year in Office.
1t has come down in history as
"The Blind Mans Convention" a
name which we can see at this dis
lance was very justly earned and
aptly given. 1t was made up OF
men in all walks of life, a majority
of them being high toned, honor
able Christian gentlemen of fine
Judgment and business sense, many
of whom had fortunes for them
selves in the world of commerce,
and yet they were strangely blind
ed by the men whose liberties had
been interferred with and whose
pockets had been touched.
Looking back upon that cam
paign today we can see how these
men were blinded by the shreWd-
ness of the railroad magnates and
the corporation kings. For many
years the corporations had domino
ted the politics of the state of GeOr-
gia and they had pretty much their
own way until in 1906 HOke Smith,
who had been in the cabinet of
President Grover Cleveland an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the governors chair. After a
most exciting campaign he was
elected by an overwhelming major
ity over o number of distinguished
opponents. The men at the head
of the corporations began at once
to accomplish the overthrow of the
governor, the only man who had
ever succeeded in blocking them to
aNyappreciable extent. They stop
ped work on certain Improvements
they had been making, some of
them took money from the banks
of Georgia and sent it to other
states and still others began cut
ting down their forces under the
plea that they were about to go
into bankruptcy. All of them did
$s little as possible for the accom-
mediation of the public, claiming
that the drastic legislation that was
threatened had made it impossible
to get the money they needed for
carrying on their business. The
men who made up the convention
to which we have referred were so
blinded that they could not see
that it was trick of the corpora
tions, they began to become alarm
ed, they said to each other, owe
had better not take away the liber-
critics of the railroads. We will
surely lose some money. We had
better restore them to power and
then they can carry on their i'm
provements they have contempla-
ted.V And in their blindness they
did just this, failing to see that
they were tramping their own in
terestS into the dust.
Then they were blinded by some
of the newspapers in the state. 1t
is real amusing at this late date to
90 back over the musty files of

COOk IL very dCUiNC ptlO III OhO OO
feat of Hoke Smith actually believ-
ed it. 1t is hard so see at this
time how men with real sound
Judgment could be affected by
such a silly claim as this one was.
1t might have been used today |
among the negroes, but even if it
was attempted among the poorer
class of whites the parties attempt |
ing such a thing would be laughed
out of court. But real high tone,
honorable, sensible, level headed
business men believed it and bent
their best efforts to the defeat of
Hoke Smith and to the election of
Mr.. Brown.
The whole state of Georgia is
proud of her young and honorable
governor, but his own father, one
of the successful merchants of At
lanta, was one of the strongest
supporters of Mr.. Brown. He
lived to see his mistake, however,
for the railroad grown fat with
power advanced the freight rates
to such an extent that he figured
out that he had lost just ten thous
and dollars within five years from
the time of the election of Mr..
Brown, that much having gone
out of his pockets for overcharges
on freight. He became genuinely
penitent and was one of the strong
est supporters of the policies of
Hoke Smith. From this his dis
tinguished son inherited the prin-
ciples that placed him in the gov
ernor's office and gave Georgia one
of the best governors she ever had.
The men of that convention
were blinded to the claims of their
children. A Christian man was
the nominee and a majority of the
delegates we're Christian men, but
they went wild over some of the
speeches that were made by anoth-
er class of men. They were blind
ed to the fact that a man should
carry his religion in his politics.
They seemed to have left theirs
at home on that occasion and to
have bowed for the time being at
the shrine of Baal. Then they
were so blinded that they failed to
stress the Importance of the dis
reimbursement act. They did not
attach much Importance to the
prohibition issue and had it not
been for the heroic work of Hoke
Smith and his friends disfranchise-
ment would have failed, the whis
: ky ring would have called an cleo
ton and whisky which had been
gradually forced out of Georgia and
would have been sold in every
| county in the state.
Many of the best men who were
in that convention as did the faith
er of the governor, lived to see
their mistake. Captain j. b. Way
of Thomasville, a man Of sterling
character, became one of the lead
ing supporters of Mr.. Smith in
south Georgia and was unanimous.
ly elected to the statesenate, where
he served his district with great
distinction and became president
of that body. Mr.. J. w. Burd,
another brownsville man who was
in that convention, saw the error
of his ways and came out for the
legislature on a Hoke Smith plat
form. He was overwhelmingly
elected and for four successive
terms represented his county with
honor in the lower branch Of the
general assembly.
