THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATt’RDAY. AUGUST IS, 13 SADDLING BELL HAS BEEN SOUNDED; GUBERNATORIAL RACE WEDNESDAY Contests on in State, County and City Primary Elections. FIERCE CAMPAIGN DRAWING TO CLOSE Gubernatorial Battle Over shadows All Else—Full Entry List in Vari- • * ous Contests. Ballot* have been primed in readl- , nca* for the state, county and city pri maries on next Wednesday and the ex ecutive committees are ready for elec tion day. Some officers and judges of election are yet to he named Monday and Secretary C. N. Ailed, of the ex ecutlve committees will send out no tices to appointees. While the fierce contest among the gubernatorial candidates has overshad owed the race for other offices the city of Atlanta and the county of i'ulton have other things to consider as well a* the comparative demerits of the re spectlve gubernatorial aspirants, i mayor Is to be elected tn Atlanta and though Chief Joyner has been accepted generally as the leading candidate, It Is said on the street that Thomas H. (h odwln Is running well In the stretch and will poll more rotes than has been anticipated. On the county ticket the rivalry for the office of county treasurer has re sulted In a hot campaign. Eight Clients for the place are In the field. Hubert I* Culberson, chairman of the county commissioners. Is spoken of as the leader up to this time, but Macon C. Sharp. Peter F. Clarke and Mayor Woodward are looked upon as strong rivals. It was expected that the race would narrow down to a field of three or four, but everyone of the eight can didates has paid his entrance fee and expects to face the barrier on Wed- ■ nesday. Three candidates for alderman from the First ward, which Is In line of suc cession to furnish one of the city fath ers, have declared themselves. The candidate from the Fifth ward Is with out opposition. Several contests for councilman are on in various wards, while four candidates are running without opopsltlon. The present In cumbents In other city places are out fur re-election without an opponent. The state campaign Is singularly free from contests except at the head of the ticket, where five aspirants for the gubernatorial chair are stumping the state. V. T. Sanford is racing against William A. Wright for comp troller general and William B. Merritt and Mark Johnston both want to be •chool commissioner. The other state wiices-are not In the light. The ballot boxes for the state and county primary and those for the city race will be.kept separate, according to law and different ballots will be used. The voting places for the two i timarle* will be located close togeth- i r for the convenience of voters. The polls In the city will open at 7 o'clock in the morning and close at 7 o'olock at night. In the country dls- tilets they will open at « o'clock In the morning and close at 3 o'clock In tho afternoon. Secretary Charles N. Allen has ad dressed the following letter tn the man agers of the election In the various ward* and districts: “Atlanta, Oa., Aug. II.—You have h«rn chosen by agreement with the Btlte Democratic executive committee to act aa manager of the state white Democratic primary election of your precinct for August 57, 1»0«. "Ydu will please report at the county court house basement Tuesday, Au gust 51, t»0«, at 1 o'clock p. m„ to re- V. A • 1 „ lU. VinlA REGISTRA TION BEHIND THA T OF TWO YEARS A GO . Registration from fhe country districts of Fulton county falls behind the registration of two years ago by over 100. The registration in.the city wards has not been complied, but It is believed that It will also fall short of the figures In 1104, and that the total registration for the rountjr will be less than that of 1904.by between.GOO and 700 names. County Tax Collector Andy Stewart completed thp compilation of the country registration by districts Friday afternoon. He Is now busily at work on the city registration, and will complete this within a short time. The total registration for the county will hardly reach 11,000, according to estimates at the collector's office. The registration by districts as compared with that of 1904 is as fol lows: Adamsvllle district .. Hattie Hill district .. Blackball district. .. Bryants district .... Burkhead district .. Collins district Cooks district East Point district .. Edgewood district .. Hapevliw district. .. Oak drove district .. Peachtree district. .. South Bend district.. College Park district Total 1(2 99 1(1 241 60S US 177 ill 246 254 1909. 72 , *S 208 91 129 242 5» 292 212 1 88 148 I 90 2* 2,728 MANY FAIL TO REGISTER FOR GENERAL PRIMARY On next Wednesday the voters of Georgia will, In a general primary, select delegates to the coming state Democratic convention for the selec tion of a candidate for governor. The campaign, opened 14 months ago wlten the candidates took the stump to appeal to the voters for support and has grown In Interest and bitterness since. Reports of registration from the different parts of the state Indicate that only about 80 per cent of the strength of the party will be expressed at the polls, If the weather Is favorable. The registration has fallen short from 6 per cent to 10 per cent, and while feeling has been at white heat In some sections of the state, tape dally In the larger cities. In many of the tyral districts much apathy seems to be manifested from reports. There seems to be greater Interest In the central and southwestern portions of the state than In the extreme south ern and eastern portions. It seems that the central portion has been the chief batleground and there the candidates centered their contest for su premacy.

The major part of Mr. Howell's speech was devoted to the disfran chisement question, which he charac terised as the most dangerous proposi tion Georgia had ever been asked to Indorse. The speech was a clean and clear-cut argument, devoid of mud- allnglng, and was well received, though the speaker's voice was not strong and the frequent cheering and Interruptions by the crowd made It extremely diffi cult for Mr. Howell to be heard. Probably half of the audience failed to catch his words, the address being delivered In the openTtlr from a plat form In front of the court house. One of the largest barbecue dinners ever served In this section was par taken of at the close of the speech. HOWELL AND SMITH FIGHTING FOR BIBB. Speclel to The Georgian.

Heavy Loss Expected. The business section of the city has suffered the most severely and it i S feared almost irreparable damage has been done to tho eea walls and wharves. It is Impossible to ascertain at this time what damage has been done in the Interior. It is feared, however, that Santiago, Los Andes and other interior points have .suffered as severely as lm s Valparaiso. Meager reports from the coast cities as far north as Iquique also tell of damage by the earthquake. It Is feared that when news does come tn it will tell a frightful story of loss of life and destruction of prop, erty. WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD IS ASKING FOR TIDINGS. Special Cable—Copyright. Beunos.
