ADDRESS AN ABLE ONE
DEEP AND PROFOUND.
Judge Galloway in Ameri-
Gus Monday.
He Rained Blows Upon
Smiths Admins tra-
ton and Attempt at
Reelection.

Despite the fact that the hour az
which the meeting was held was at
$50 O'Clock and ball game COM
menced at A o'clock, Hon. Enoch Cal
laway, OF Augusta was greeted by
large and very enthusiastic crowd
when he began his speech in be-
half of the candidacy of Governor Jo-
seph M. Brown at the opera house yes
terday afternoon. The audience that
assembled was thoroughly repre-
sentative one, and by far the larger
part of those present were plainly and
manifestly loyal supporters of Gov
ernor Brown.
Judge Galloway, who has been a
staunch supporter of Governor Brown
from the beginning of the governors
first campaign, delivered a speech that
was filled with telling arguments AMI
clean and free from abuse and per-
sonalities. The logic and convincing
arguments used could not be denied
by any one present, no matter what
his political affiliations might BE-.
Judge Galloway was introduced in
brief and most appropriate speech bv
Hon. Crawford Wheatley, and began
his argument at once He stated in
the beginning that he would be glad
to be corrected in case he misrepre-
sented anything concerning either of
the candidates, Iblut not single inter-
ruption Was offered during the prog
ress of his speech.
By taking up the administration of
Hoke Smith, Judge Galloway arranged
his arguments in logical manner by
pointing out the mistakes that the for
mer governor had made. He showed
that the former governor had conlmit-
Ted serious blunder in his antagonis-
tic attitude and reckless assertions
concerning foreign capital. which had
been greatly detrimental to the bust
ness interests of the state, especially
the railroads and manufacturing in
terests. The constant fight made on
foreign capital, said he, had caused
a cessation of Improvements by the
raIlroads and manufacturing inter
ests OF the state and had worked harm
on all the citizens of the state. Other
roreign capital that anticipated COM
ing into the state had been turned
away, and many manufacturing plants,
especially many saw mills in the
southern section of the state, hai
been forced to close down.
In speaking of the harm that had
been done by the former governor to
the business interests of the common
wealth, Judge Galloway said that he
mad seen during Governor Smiths ad.
ministration-as had doubtless others
or those present-hundreds of Labor
ing men walking the streets of towrs
In tile state without food and without
money on account of the closing down
OF the plants where they had been
working. These men had been COM
PEELED to beg for work and had been
unable to obtain it. Judge Callaway
referred to te administration of Gov
ernor Brown as the sovereign remedy
for the disturbed business COZ ditions
tfat were left in the state by the for
mer governor.
A telling argument of the speaker
was his reference to the hindrance of
legislation that had been given by
Hoke Smith partisans during the ra-
cent session of the legislature. The
Smltb partisans in the legislature had
proved obstructionists and had done
50 much to retard the passage of need
tul legislation as to gain the name of
the "Do-Nothing Legislature" The en-
0lre administration of the former gov.
ernor was dealt with in a manner that
left no doubt as to the serious hlun-
ders, made by Hoke Smith, many Of
winch he had virtually Acknowledged
during his present campaign by TAM
pering the statements that he is maxi
ing on the stump.

be Hon. Joe Hill Hall, who will speak

well known to need any comment.
There will undoubtedly be a large
crowd present to hear him make what

telling speeches of the present cam
