I CHERRY'S NEW i innunDv I Hoke Kmltn la 63. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2. Governor Hoke Smith, one of the most pictur esque figures of the new south, 1.4 to day receiving the congratulations of his friends on having reached his 63d blrthdny. Although recently defeated for renominatlon as governor of Geor gia by Joseph Brown, allegedly be cause of his radical tendencies, Smith Is still highly popular In Georgia ami throughout the South, and his admir ers believe that he will yet receive higher political place than any he has yet held. Smith has been In the public lime light ever since 1893, when he entered Cleveland's cabinet as secretary of the Interior. He was born In North Caro lina September 2, 156, but moved to this city when 17 and begun the prac tice of law at the tender age of 1. In his early days his office was also his dining room and his bedroom and In It ho cooked his own meals, Hut Hoke was not long without Un necessary wherewithal. Almost from thn ilirl ir kl. k. . , .... . ...... . " . ,,T-r nr MPveiiHMj the fseiilty of retting money, s-vt V- most everything he has undertaken has turned out financially successful. He Is credited with making 125.000 a year at law. Perhaps Smith's most noteworthy Teat was the way In which lie built up trie Atlanta Journal, now one of the best known afternoon pa pers In the south. When Smith got hold of the paper. In 1887. It was near death's door. His method of building it up was simple, though somewhat novel. He not only secured the bent men In sight, but when 'any one did a particularly fine piece of work he was sure to find In his pay envelope the following Satur day an order for a high-priced suit of clothes or for something else equally as satisfactory. One of his city editors he presented with a fine horse and carriage. In a few years the Jourmtl had beon turned Into a fine business proposition. Smith's career Is full of similar In cidents showing his Yankee shrewd nens, by vhl. h thonph he Is a so.it h erner he comes honestly, his pater nal Grandfather having hen a New :VrVr v.ws -it I"!lnate terms with Daniel Webster. His father and Mary Baker O. Eddy, the Christian Science leader, were cousins. In his "facial ruggedness, Smith betrays his Yankee blood. PttKburg ExMM4ition. Pittsburg" Pa., Sept. 2.

Two for Oiu Two Vvi for the prK'e Prohibition Plays Important Part In Hot Texas Political Fights. . Dallas, Texas, Sept. 8. Sweeping into the Home stretch under whip and spur, the democratic donkey and the republican elephant are contesting for the victory In the ' greatest political race that Texas has witnessed in years. For the first time the elephant sees a chahca of victory and Is making the race ot his life. Handicapped by a prohibition plank and confused by the discord of his trainers, the donkey Is indlng the track a heavy one. If he wins. It will not be In a walk, as in former years. For the first time, the long-eared inlmal is confronted with the necessity of running a real race. The adoption by the democratic convention of a plank providing for the submission of the state-wide pro hibition Issue to a vote of the peqpl gave the republicans their opportuni ty. Heretofore the Texas N-epubllcan party could almost be counted on the fingers and toes of any normal humr.r! being. The democratic split over Sen ator. Bailey's retention in the -senate created many republican voters oven night Now. that the republican par ty has gone on record as opposed to prohibition, and has nominated Col. John V.'. Simpson of Dallas, a Confed erate veteran, as its candidate'for gov erned, the organization has assumed respectable rronrrtlrn 411 ' "wets" of the state have flocked to the republican standard, as a haven of refuge from the "dry" regime of the democracy. ;"' , The democrats believe they have a trump card, however, in their platform Indorsement of a guaranty of bank deposits law, ' such as has been suc cessfully tried out in Oklahoma. The republican state platform ' opposes this measure, which is highly popular among the rank and file of Texans. Any doubt as to the success of the democratic party in the state election does not extend to the national ticket. While there is some enthusiasm for Taft in the larger cities, "especially among business men, it is likely that Bryan's majority will be fully as large as in former years. The few party leaders who opposed the nomination of the Nebraskan are now back in the fold. Interest in the national election Is overshadowed by state issues, with the bitter fight for and against prohi bltlon the greatest Issue of all. the Great Remington Repeatiiif Hammerless Shot Gun VF.TFHAXS nF.GIX WORK. Fun and Frolic Over and Old Soldiers at Toledo Do Buslnc. Toledo, O.; Sept. 3. After three days of fun and frolic, the old "boys" who comprise the official delegates to the forty-second annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, today settled down to business The opening business session was called to order In the Valentine theater at 10 o'clock this morning, with Comman der in Chief Burton presiding. It is likely that there will be a hot but good-natured fight over the selection o a successor to Burton as the head the nations! orginl7Stlon. Among the mttfe-s 'in frr consid eration are several amendments to the Miles and regulations of the army, presented by the parlous department sncampments. The Ohio department suggests a permanent Investment fund, to be under the control of a board of trustees elected for that pur pose, and which, would bring about an Important change In the financial ionduct of the Grand Army. This amendment has the sanction of the Vew Jersey department, with the ex ception of minor changes. The Penn sylvania department also concurs In the proposed measure. . The department of Oklahoma asks for an amendment providing that cer tain .members of the Sons of Veterans be admitted to all Grand Army meet ings. The department of Missouri ad vocates an amendment allowing posts with less than 15 members to hold their stated meetings quarters. If two hlrds of the members so decide. To Open Campaign.
