Although college girls are supposed to snih
at Cupid and statistics show that the devotees
of higher education make marriage side
issue, It was college girl who invented the
first American valentine. She was Esther a.
Howland. Mount Holyoke girl. who was
graduated in 1S4I. Yet at that time she pos
sessed the modern college spirit OF enterprise
and energy. for she not only made fortune
for herself but established a new industry in
this country.
1t was two years after her graduation and
when she was back in her home in Worcester
that Miss Howland conceived the idea of the
American valentine The earliest fancy valen-
tine to come to this country from England fell
into her hands in lS49. 1t had an elaborate
border of fine lace paper and was decorated
with colored flowers cut out and pasted on.
In the center was n small pocket. containing
n red edged note. which bore love message.

that Mr.. McNelley is supporting Brown
today, unless he has changed within the
past ten days.
ct want to state further that the Gwin-
nett Journal, In which Mr.. McNelley's
card is published is not supporting Hoke
Smith 1t was a Smith paper when ]. A.
Bagwell edited 1t, but since 1t has chang
ed hands 1t has not supported Governor
Smith. Mr.. Bagwell is now editing the
Monroe Advertiser and 1t is supporting
Hoke Smith.
THE question which wish to ask the
public is this: Did Mr.. McNelley after a
conference with the Brown people write
nal for the purpose of having it used just
as Mr.. Ed Maddox did use it?'
MR.. DAVIES LETTER.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 4, 1910.
In this mornings issue OF the Atlanta
Constitution there appears an article
signed by w. G.. McNelley, copied from
the Gwinnett Journal, in which Mr.. Nc
Nelley bemoans what he terms a disas-
ter to the state of Georgia in his pre-
dicted defeat of Gov. Hoke Smith. This
mans past political affiliations throw
light on him and his abortive article.
In 1906 Editor McNelley, being at that
time the editor of the DeKalb New Era,
of Decatur, Ga, was an active member
of the Howell campaign committee, Of
DeKalb county. However, he severed
his connection with the DeKalb New
Era in 1907, and went with the Atlanta
Newspaper Union. In 1908 he was an
active supporter of Governor Brown.
Mr.. McNelley attended Browns meetings
every time he was in Atlanta, wore a
Brown button and talked Brown until he
had a dark Brown taste in his mouth.
This man is supporting Governor Brown
today, unless he has changed within the
last ten days, and can prove my state
ments, and will do so. If he denies that
they are true.
The Gwinnett oJurnal in which Mr..
McNeney's card is published is not sup
porting Mr.. Smith. 1t was Smith pa
per when ]. A. Bagwen edited it, but
since it changed hands it has not sup
ported Governor Smith. Mr.. ]. A. Bag
well, former editor of the Gwinnett Jour
nal, is now editing the Monroe Advertis-
er and supporting Hoke Smith.

The MCNeIIey Canard
Thoroughly Exploded

The McNelley interview, publish
ed in the Gwinnett Journal and
given to the press by the Brown
headquarters, caused much mirth
in the Hoke Smith headquarters
Friday morning. Mr.. McNelley is
we'll known. first as Clark How
ell supporter, later a strong Brown
man and again this time for Gov
ernor Brown--always against Hoke
Smith 1t naturally amused them,
say the Smith leaders, to see Nc
Nelley posing as a Smith man and
conceding the state to Governor
Brown.
Mr.. D. G.. Siddurth, of log For
rest avenue, Atlanta, says that he
heard Mr.. McNelley talking in the
Kimball house Saturday week to
some supporters of Governor
Brown. Mr.. Siddurth advised
them not to put up any money on
Governor Browns election this
time, and Mr.. McNelley confirmed
this advice Mr.. McNelley said
that two years ago. he had pOlled
more trains than any man in the
state, but that after having tried
the same thing lately, he found
that Hoke Smith would be elected.
though he regretted this as much
as anybody, as he was strong for
Governor Brown.
