Mayson, who will resign to run for congress. •'I have not made out my ticket yet," stated Councilman Mangum, "and am not prepared, therefore, to make my public announcement yet. I will get a good ticket. You may depend on that, and It will be a ticket that will com- mand the confidence of the people of the county.” While neither Councilman Mangum nor Colonel Westmoreland has an nounced. It can be depended upon posi tively that both will be In the race— and to the finish. Colonel Westmoreland was asked as to fha report that he would be In the race for city attorney. "Probably, probably,” he stated, "but I do not care to make ah announcemtpt yet,” That Councilman Mangum will op. pose Sheriff Naims for re-election seems now a foregone conclusion. A prominent city official stated to The Georgian Saturday mornlm “ ‘ Councilman Mangum has dsclt make the race and was now arranging a ticket of deputies. Macon Sharps Iif Race. In this connection It Is staled that Macon Sharp, the well-known fire In spector. and candidate for county treas urer In the Inst election, will be on the ticket with Sheriff Nelms next That Councilman Mangum will make a strong race for sheriff is not doubted by those familiar with Ihs present sit uation of political affairs In Atlanta and Fulton-county. Ho has lived In Atlanta practically all his Ilfs and few men are better known locally than he. and faw can boast of more frlenda and stronger friends. He la n veteran of the Civil war and has n splendid war record. In addi tion, he knows the game of polltlca, as Is evidenced by the fact that he Is In council now and has held quits number of public offices before. Two candidates are already In the r«, e for city attorney—W. T. Hill, as sistant city attorney, and Councilman W. II. Terrell, of the First ward. - •, Colonel Westmoreland Is one of the best known attorneys lit Atlanta, and his entry Into The race will enliven the running considerably. ,, While highly Improbable, it Is not at all Impossible that there will be a change In the race for state senate, ■lack M. Slaton and HTY. McCord are In the race now. but rumor has It that thero Is a possibility that the former may retire from this rare (o enter that for congress against Hon. lain F. Llv- log.-ton. the Incumbent, and Hon. James I.. Uaysott. who lias announced, and Dr. Whitley, of Douglas county. The Mayoralty Stakes. The situation In regard to the race for the mayoralty remains unchanged. Two candidates have announced; H. U. I'sbanlss and T. II. Goodwin. Either • ’ourtland H. Winn or Mayor Pro Tam. T. A. Qullllan will be In the race, but It Is stnted on good authority that they will not oppose each other. All reports to tha contrary notwith standing. It can be pretty well depend ed upon that James a. Woodward will be in the race despite tbs majority rule-.poaslbly, largely because of It. Alderman James I,. Key has given out no statement or Intimation of his plans, but It Is generally believed that lie will be a candidate for the mayor- alty. "One candidate gelling In the race nr another getting out," he stated on a former occasion, "will not affect me In the least. I will either run or not run. It la too early to even think about It now." j. Judge A. E. Calhoun, the Incumbent. Councilman E. W. Martin, of the Sec ond ward, and Hon. H. H. Blackburn, member of the legislature, will wage a vigorous campaign against each other for the bench of the city court. The race for the legislature Is un changed. with about eight announced or near-announced candidates already In the-field for three positions.

Smith Baker, D. D., who will fill Its pOlpit for the winter beginning Sunday. Dr. Baker ranks ns ona of tha ablest preachtrs in the Congregational de nomination. His work at Lowell, Mass., gave him International reputation and resulted In building up a large and flourishing church. Some ten years ago he became pastor of the WIMIston church, Portland, Me., famous as the birthplace of the Chris tian Endeavor Society. He was very successful hers and has only recently at Ills own request been released from this charge. The range of Dr. Baker's Influence can easily be Inferred from the fact that ha haa spoken lu 21 states, at 144 Christian Endeavor conventions and 1*2 Sunday school conventions, and has received 2.M1 persons Into church membership. In a summary of Ills work ut Portland It la said "The whole state ha* felt the help of his Inspiring addresses and wise counsels. He has been a leader In Sunday school work and active in almost every other Im portant Christian movement In the stats. His departure leaves a vacancy herd to fill, and remove* from his brother ministers a personal friend on whose sympathy und experience they have come to rely to a remarkable de gree. To many young ministers he has been almost n Father Confessor, and the help he has given them defies measurement.” Aa a pulpit orator he hnp few equals, and the people of Atlanta are urged to come and hear htm. The Central Con- f iregatlonnl church Is very prominently ocated on Kills street, opposite tha Carnegie library. CITY SALESMEN terial Being Used on Job. If anything but Georgia marble and granite Is used In the new postoffico building It will be done over the stren uons- protests of Senator A. 8. Clay and Congressman Lon F. Livingston, backed by Atlanta people. Senator Clay Joined the ranks of the figtiters for marble Friday and spent a good portion of the day at hlii home In Marietta trying to get'Into communication with the supervising architect In Washington without suc cess. In a conversation over the long distance ’phone with Atlanta he de clared It ’ wos absurd to use In the building anything but Georgia marble or granite and he expressed the belief that tills materiel could be used and still complete the building wjthtn thd appropriation. Senator Clay will try again , to get In communication with Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor In Washington over the, long distance 'Phone and he will discuss with him the bids and see if Atlanta people cannot have what they want. And. Incidentally, litis fight for Georgia marble has caused Congress man Livingston to miss a trip that he had been looking forward to with pleasure. He was scheduled to be In New York Saturday to leave Satur day night for the Isthmus of Panama with the sub-conunlttee of the con gressional committee on appropria tions which la to make an Inspection of the work. T .have wanted to take this trip," ho said, "and see Just how they were spending our money down there and see how the work Is getting along. But It's all off now. I wouldn't think of leaving while my constituency needs my services here. They want Georgia material In our new postoffioe and they, do not want Indiana llme- etone. Therefore, 1 am going to stay right hare In Georgia and do every thing In my power to see that they get what they want. If necessary l will go to Washington and see those In charge of the matter In person, but at present I am In frequent communica tion with the supervising architect, and he says my request will be cer tainly granted If It Is at nil possible. And 1 am going to stay right on the Job until wo get what we want.” The more Ihe matter Is discussed the more determined are Atlantu peo ple to have the new-building construct ed of Georgia marble. It Is pointed out that with It built of marble. It will be a monument that future gen erations may luok upon and. too, that it will be the finest public building In the United Slates. Resolutions expressing confidence In Ihs certificates now being Issued by tbs Atlanta Claarlng House Assocla lion, and congratulating the cltlsens of Atlanta that they have such an In stltutlpn sufficiently strong to furnish adequate relief from Ihe present finan cial condition*, were adopted at i meeting of the City Salesmen's Ano elation held Raturdny morning. The resolution* In full are as fol low*: Whereas, the banks composing the Atlunta Clearing Iloine Association, with combined resources of 120,000,400. having Issued' 12,000,000 of clearing house certificates protected by depoa its of 12,000,000 of securities and sus tained by the combined credit of all the banks of the clearing house, whose officers are our safest and most Ju dlclous financiers, and "Whereas, large money centers, such as New York. Pittsburg and Chicago, have refused to ship the currency to other Southern cities, as well ns our Atlanta banks, 'Therefore, be It resolved by the members of the City Salesmen'* As sociation that. In our opinion, we should congratulate the farmers, mechanics an-l laborer* as well a* the business men of this section because It Is possible that wo have aucii strong Institutions such as those composing the Atlanta Clearing House Associa tion. who can Issue such certificates, which are perfectly good und which furnish a timely addition to the cur rency. for the purpose of placing ready cash In the hands of the busi ness men whereby they can purchase or make advances on cotton, also pay the wage-earners promptly for his or their services. "Be II further resolved. Thut \v» ex press to the people and to the Clear ing House Association our confidence In these certificates. We think It will Il lustrate to Wall itreet that the South, backed by her strong financial insti tutions, cannot be Injured or Impeded by strenuous financiers, nor bank- pampered speculators, nor the timely puncturing of Wall atreel fortunes built on watered stock."

WHO IS OWNER OF CENTRAL RY.? Continued from Page One. way of travel. Railroad men In Atlan ta when told of the purchase were In clined to attach considerable Import ance to the deal and believe that It will make the Centra! a greater road than It ever was before. They believed, too, that It would make Savannah a terminus for great quantities of freight from the west and oneequently Increase that city's repu tatinn aa a seaport. The Illinois Central will enter Blr mlngham from Jasper, Ala., over , branch from tire Chicago-New Orleans road and also by trackage arrangement With the Rock Island-Frisco lines. Then by connecting with the Central, the Harrtman lines will connect the Atlantic and the Pacific. That will be Savannah, Macon. Atlanta and Chatta nooga in direct communication with points in the west and southwest on the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Illnots Central. The purchase will make the Central of Georgia system the great connecting link ot the Harri man lines from ocean to ocean in the South. Considerable speculation is being In dulged In by Atlanta railroad men as to whether or not It will affect the management of the Central, but of this nothing bas been learned except what Unkletgh Thorne telegraphed Major Hanson a short time ago to the effect that-there was no change In the situa tion.

ThO way to cure catarrh la to remove from the blood the Impurities which cause and feed It. This Is to be done by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, tho great blood puri fier, which effectually expels all traces of poison and germs of disease. This Is not theory, but simple faet.and the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla S3 a rem edy for catarrh Is testified to by many people whom It has cured, not for a time only, but permtnently. — "For three'years I have been troubled with catarrh and blood disease.

Loganvllle, Ga., Nov. 2.—Last De cember at Mllledgevllle when Blehop Ward read out the assignment of the pastors of the North Georgia Confer ence for 1907 many changes were made In the prominent pulpits and among the presiding elders, The same bishop will preside at the CartersvIUe Conference this year, and of course he will let his own work stand; hence not many changes are expected for the coming year. When Bishop Ward sounds the gavel that opens the forty-first session of the North Georgia Conference at Car- tersvllle on Wednesday, November 20, he will have before him more than 200 men tvho are to be assigned to more thnn 800 pulpits throughout the Con ference. In the Church South, the time limit of a Methodist pastor or presiding elder Is four years. He may be moved any time from the end of his first year In a pulpit, but when four years have been, served then he has to go to another field by the law of the church. Not Many Changes Expected. It Is a remarkable fact that in the Conference that assembles In Novembsr there are only three preachers out of 221 who, by law. are compelled to va- ate their present pastorates nnil be assigned to new ones. These are: John Spier, at Greenville; Rev. R. t'leckler, at Covington, and Rev. W. Robison, at Cornelia. There are only thirty preachers in the Conference Who have served in their present charges three years, and they are lia ble to change, but not necessnrily. There are 71 preachers who are on their second year pastorates, anil they be changed and may be. And there are 109 who are closing out their first year In their present fields. It will be seen that the one-year men exceed the two, three and four-year men all together, which also shows that the short pastor ate is prevalent among the Methodists of upper Georgia. Presiding Elder Changes. There are eleven presiding elders and four of them have held pn for three years, and hence may be returned an other year. These four are: Rev. Dr. GOV.
