Every man brought the news OF assur-
ed victory for Hoke Smith. with the re-
cital of the rockribbed steadfastness Of
the Hoke Smith adherents and of the
numerous changes from Brown to Smith.
Governor Smith appeared at heauquar-
tiers early. with fine reports of his ova-
tion, at Augusta and all down the Geor-
gia line. He was warmly greeted after
his absence Of several days.
Mr.. W. r. Shropshire. chairman Of the
campaign committee OF the Second ward,
issued the following statement: I'VE
have been over this ward carefully and
we know we viii carry 1t. The whole
ward is amazed over the Brown claims
about the ward given out last Saturday.
They might have come nearer soaring
somebody IL they had not claimed so
much. Their extreme claim shows that
they entirely disregarded the truth and
that no attention should be paid to what
they say. Count the Second for Governor
Smith by a coed majority"
ONE CASE OF NEGLECT.
Authentic information was received
at headquarters this morning Of anoth-
er case OF fragrant neglect in the execu-
tive office concerning the extraditfon
OF a criminal. Sheriff ]. ]. Flanders,
had a man arrested in Laurens county,
s. C, and wrote four or FIVE times 10
the governor for requisition papers.
Finally he wired the governor and was
then Informed that the man could not
be extrsdited for a misdemeanor. BY
the time the information was at last
lodged in the executive department that
the man was guilty of a felony and
not a misdemeanor, the sheriff OF Lau-
rens county had to turn him loose, hav-
ing held him for 81 days.
Mr.. d. B. Null, an old Confederate of
Ben Hill county, commander for "a
years OF lamp 1000 organizer or the
first Blue and Gray association in the
United States. one OF the ranking Of
hcers Of the National u. c. ", was at
headquarters this morning. On the way
to Atlanta he and Mr.. J. I. Campbell,
a Brown man, polled the A. B. G. A.
excursion traiH from Fitzgerald, and
both signed the poll, II resulting, Smith
SIS, Brown So. Mr.. Null says that Gov
ernor Browns former majority of 200
in Ben Hill county is fast DISAPPEARING
and that there is a good chance of car
rying the county for Hoke Smith. Mr..
Null denounced the dirty methods OF
the opposition in trying to prejudice the
old soldiers against their long time
friend, Hoke Smith. lie scored in round
terms the continued circulation of the
anonymous circular containing the al
legged remarks or one G. W. Carroll. aft
er IL had been ascertained that there is
no such name in the city directory of
Atlanta, on the registra ton books or
Fulton county, or In the Hoke Smith
club. and that no sucn man had been
employed TO distribute literature for
Hoke Smith.
