Xewmifc Ga., Aug. F.—Amidst the
cheeni of a large and enthusiastic
number of Coweta voter*, Judge R.^B.
Bunnell made a stirring speech here
today, and it is said by conservative
men, both from the Smith and Howell
ranks, that Judge Russell gained votes
in the county.
The Judge arrived at Xewnan this
rooming at 9 o'clock and went directly
to the Virginia hotel, Where a large
crowd, together with the band, had
gathered to receive him. By 11 o'clock
hundreds had assembled at mineral
■prlngs, where the speaking occurred
and where a barbecue was served af
ter the address.
Judge ttussell was introduced by the
Hon. Hullt Hall, whose remarks were
roundly applauded.
Mr. Hall said that Georgians were
to be congratulated that the adminis
tration of their affairs was In the
hands of honest, clean, upright men.
He said that he had no sympathy with
the cry of ring rule for twenty-five
yean^ and that he did not accept the
charge of corporate domination. Re
ferring to disfranchisement, he said
that Georgia ahntfld not follow, but that
she should be emulated.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
other states, he continued, have suf
fered from negro rule, but that Oeor
gia had all these years been free.
Judge Russell's speech, though con
tinually enlivened with humor, wga a
clean and sound discussion of the is
sues \>f the campaign. The friends of
Judge Russell claim that he will carry
the county.

said:
“Aly husband is a murderer. I want
you to put it in the paper. He has

convict in South Carolina seven years

She spoke without a trace of emo

"He left me Tuesday," she contin
