Comm,sions FIVE Months Late
Rscs;aed in Grady Last
Week, and Two of These
Were Wrong

CAIRO. Ga. Aug. 10. 1910.
Atlanta Journal: Hoke Smiths can
didacy for governor has been of material
benefit to the people Of this fair state of
ours already, because it has awakened
some one in the governors office from
their stupid inactivity and they are now
attending to duties which should have
had their attention many months ago.
The writer has noted with interest the
letters from practically every section of
the state complaining of inability 10 pro-
cure commissions for justice of peace
and notary publics from the governor.
This has been a revelation to US. The
officers of Grady county could not pro-
cure these commissions, Notwithstanding
their constant requests TO Governor
Brown to issue them.
THE EIGHT COMMISSIONS IN Ora
DY COUNTY THAT SHOULD HAVE
COME FIVE MONTHS AGO ONLY AR
RIVED WITHIN THE LAST WEEK,
AND THEN TWO OF THEM HAD TO
BE RETURNED FOR CORRECTION,
WHICH DEMONSTRATES THAT THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS SEEN THE
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL"
It stands to reason that If the governor
has been negligent in these matters, that
1t is highly probable that other duties Of
his office go unattended.
We need a man in the executive chair
who will faithfully attend the duties Of
the office, so let's elect Hoke Smith, who
has been tried and not found wanting.
Yours truly,

Of every kind and description and from
every part of the country will be present
in a body and the city will be overrun
with thousands of visitors.
Every available craft in New York
harbor was chartered as early as the
middle of May and iatboats and scows
are at a premium. Some of the larger
organizations, such as the Republican
club, of New York. have chartered regu-
lar coast line steamers, on which to go
down the bay and welcome the colonel
after his absence of Is months.
Although there will be many Republi-
can statesmen, the reception will be
strictly Of non-partisan character. The
reception committee is composed OF 300
of New York's leading citizens, both Re
publlcans and Democrats, and nothing OF
a political nature will be included in ths
program.
According to the present plans the YES

family will make the return journey
across the Atlantic will reach Quarantine

his family will be taken off in a tug.

ton that have been chartered by clubs
and private parties will line both sides
Of the harbor and after the cutter with
the colonel aboard passes by they will

In the harbor will have a band aboard
and the noisy procession will make its
way up the harbor amid the screaming
of whistles and the cheering of the
crowds on the shores of 2Srd street
where they will turn around and steam
back to the battery.
The colonel will go ashore at the his
toric spot at the lower end of the island.
where he will receive hearty welcome
from the assembled thousands. In an
enclosure in the center of the park will
be 200 distinguished guests, composed of
senator's, representatives, ambassadors,
and numerous personal friends of the
colonels. Surrounding this enclosure
will be another reserved space, which will
be open to the public.

Here Mayor Gaynor. of New York, will
formally welcome the colonel to hts ma

es will be made by prominent men.

1t was originally intended to conclude
the reception with a monster parade and
invitations were issued to various or
CARNATIONS throughout the country.
Within few days, however, the COM
mittee was flooded with so many appli-
cations that the parade feature had to
be abandoned. Organizations from Maine
to California and from the gulf to the
great lakes requested a place in the line
of march, and If the project had been
carried out, the procession would have
extended from the battery to the Harlem
river and back again, a distance of 20
miles, and the people who had Travelled
hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would
have been deprived of the pleasure. In
order to overcome this obtsacle so that
no one would be offended. a unique ar
