proved to have been without the
slightest basis in fact-a campaign
Islander pure and simple.
Another statement made by the gov
ernor, repeated wherever he goes, was
to the effect that at negro conven-
ton at Marietta the negroes were
requested to influence their white
friends to vote for Joe Brown. This
has also been proved to be entirely
false, as has been another statement
that the negroes were urged to pay
their taxes and be in position to
vote for Brown, whom they Endorsed
for Governor. Like many of the state
ments made by governor, they are
without any basis except the imagin-
alton of the Atlanta Journal, chief
Smith organ, whose contempt for ac-
curacy and truthfulness in a campaign
is so well known as to need no COM
ment. Most of the falsehoods of the
campaign appear to have originated
in the Journal office. AS regards the
latter statement, here are two aft
davits which have been handed to
the governor, but which he persist
emily overlooks, as he does every
thing else that calls down his cam

H0KE FLOPPED ON NEGRO EDUCA.
TION.

From Speech by Hon. Hoke Smith,
at general educational conference,
at Athens, Ga, 1902
''We say to you that the education
of all the children of the South is our
work, and by Gods help we mean to
bear it, and we mean to carry it OH
until every child, white and black,
shall have thorough education. Let
RS. We must train the children Of
both cOlOrs through eight months of
schooling to the highest accomplish
ment. Ninety-fVe per cent of the
taxes are paid by white men. Over
one hundred million dollars have been
spent for education of negroes. We
are not entitled to particle of praise
for it. 1t was our duty. AS intelligent
and Christian character pervades the
men and women of our section they
will become unanimously in favor of
educating the negro as well as the
whites"
This was Gov. Smiths attitude as to
the education of the negro until re-
Gently. In his speech yesterday he
stated that he now believed only in
a meagre education for the negroes,
just enough to enable them to read
and to calculate ordinary arithmetic,
that the negro should be educated to
work and along lines that will enable
him to work intelligently and to the
best advantage.
Gov Smith claims that the opinions
of leading Georgians have changed on
the education of the negro.
We congratulate the governor on
his flop. 1t was long delayed, as
up to two years ago, at least, he
was the avowed champion of the edu-
cation of all of the negroes, and
their higher education at that, and
subscribed money to their colleges.
That he Topped because he thought
it was a god campaign argument ard
vote getter is the opinion of many.
But let's give him credit for the flop
anyway.
Inasmuch as public opinion is
along this line Hoke will probably
stand pat and not flop back again.
But who can tell?

SIMPLY MALICIOUS ISLANDERS

In his speech yesterday Gov Smith,
without the slightest proof to sus-
tain him, repeated a charge he has
made all over the state that Joe
Brown had been a Republican 1t
has been clearly shown that this is
absolutely without basis, that at the
time referred to by Gov. Smith Joe
Brown was not even a voter. But
by ceaseless repetition it is hoped to
convince the public that Smiths
statement is true. He has never pre-
scented the slightest evidence to sus-
tain his assertions. 1t is a charge

AS a result of the financial straits
into which James R. Gray chief own
er of the Atlanta Journal has been
forced by the suspension of Inman &
Co., it is rumored that Mr. F. L. See
ly, owner of the Georgian, may secure
control of the Journal also. Nearly
all of the shares of the Journal are
hypothecated in New York for collat-
eral for notes now due. The report is
that Mr.. Seely has an option on a
majority of the stock and is hoping
to consolidate the Georgian and
Journal.

A REAPER RACE.
The Feat That Made William NJ.
Whiteley Famous.


In the early days of the exploitation
of various reaping machines a field
demonstration, usually competitive.
was a necessary occurrence. IL. n.
Cass)n in THE Romance of the Reap
err tells the following story of William
n. Whiteley. 'the Charlemagne of the
harvest field"
He was as tall as a sapling and as
strong as a tree. AS a professor in the
great school of agriculture he has new
er been surpassed. He could Outtalk
outwOrk and generally outwit the men
who were sent against him. He was Il
whole exhibition in himself.
I've seen Bill Whiteley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick the
mice's nests from just in front of the
knife said an old Ohio settler.
The feat that first made Whiteley ia
nous was performed at Jamestown.
O., in 1867. His competitor was doing
as good work as he was, whereupOn he
sprang from his seat, unhitched one
horse and finished his course with a
single surprised steed pulling the heavy
| machine.
His competitor followed suit and sue
ceeded fully as well.
This enraged Whiteley, who at that
time was as powerful as a young Her
cules.
Il can pull that reaper myself"' he
| shouted, turning his second horse loose
and yOking his big shoulders into the
| harness.
Such a thing had never been done be-
fore ard has never been done since
but it is true that in the passion of the
moment Whiteley was filled with such
strength that he ran the reaper from
one side of the field to the other cut
| ting a full swath, a deed that, had he
done it in ancient Greece, would have
placed him among the immortals.
| That ten minutes in a horse collar
made $2,OOOGOO for Whiteley. His an
tagOnist, Benjamin H. Warder, was
fillen with admiration for Whiteley''
prowess and at once proposed that the!
should quit lighting and work in har
mony.
"Give me the right to make you
reaper, and I'll pay you So apiece 70
all can SELL" said Warder.
ITS a bargain" responded Whiteley
And so there arose the first consolida
tiOn in the harvester business.

A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn

almost unprecedented in that stormy

light haze, and the sea was fiat and lead
cOlOred. About 10 o'clock on the morn

thing movable above and below came
down with a clatter. It, was like strik-

pronounced at first, but increased in
violence during the thirty seconds it
lasted. The sea heaved in oily swells
with a strange, hOarse murmur, and it
continued to be agitated after the

Half an hour later fish by the thou

until it was covered with them. For
