those who sat with us last year have I
passed into the great beyond. We have
been assembling in annual associaions
and conventions since July, 1846, and

preach a sermon. We also ought to
have learned that a man's intelligence
is not exhibited in the number of times
he gets on the floor, nor the points of i
order made One of the best evidences '
of our individual as well as organic J
developments will be seen in our de-
portment on these grounds -and the ;
streets of this ctty.

“Hoke Smith is probably up against
the hardest political situation he has
had to tackle since he resigned his
place In the second Cleveland cabinet.”

State frequently enough to keep in
touch with the trend of events.
”Two or three months ago," said Mr
Thomas. "Hoke Smith was the strong-

him to abandon to hl" enemies the
entire State Government without nt-
tempting to carry ott any policies that

he will, and leaves Georgia with only
