THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATURDAY, AUGUST IS. IDO*

9HT BMIFILL
OF JUKE AHD JULY
pearly Twice as Much Pre^
cipitation This Year as
in 1905.
According to figures Just compiled
by the Atlanta weather bureau at the
request of Director ft. J. Redding of the
state experiment station, nearly twice
as much rain fell In Georgia during the
months of June and July as last year,
making the crop season of this year re
markable In the annals of the state.
Fifty-two towns are selected, repre
senting the entire state, and the total
rainfall at each place for the months of
June and July of the two years furnish
the comparison.
The grand total of rainfall regis
tered at the 52 stations during the two
months of 1905 was 402.15 inches; the
erand total for this year was 723.69.
The increase In total rainfall was 321.54
Inches, 80 per cent, or an average in
crease of 4 Inches throughout the state.
The effect of the superabundance of
rain marked on the growing cotton.
It put a great deal of stalk and foliage
to the plant at the expense of the
fl However, the past two weeks of com
paratively dry weather have to some
extent offset the bad effect of the rain.

WHO IS JUDGE RUSSELL
Mote, Way, an original *ettl#r of
Liberty county, was the great grand
father of the subject of this sketch.
His father, William J. Russell, was a
native of that county and one of the
pioneer cotton manufacturers In this
state. He operated the Sweetwater
factory In Douglass county prior to
the war between the states, and
subsequently became general manager
of the mill at Princeton, Clarke county,
°*¥hiSi Dick" Russell first saw the
light In Cobb county, tills state. In
1861, where he lived until hi* father
removed to Clarke county In 1867. He
wan graduated from the University of
Georgia In 1879, and began the practice
of law In 1880. In 1882 he was ejected,
without opposition, to the Georgia leg
islature from Clarke county, and re-
elected In 1884 and 1886. In 1888 he
was elected solicitor general of the
western Judicial circuit and became
udgfof that Circuit In 1898. which last
named position he held continuously
until February, 1906, when ho resigned
to make the race for Bnvernor. Tho
writer does not know who , his first
wife was, but his second wife, horn
he married In 1891, wbb Miss Ina Dil
lard, of Oglethorpe county, Ga. She
has borne him ten children, nine JJ*
whom are now living. The pleasant
home of this well known Jurist bona
farm near Winder, Jackson county, Ga.
In his race for the chief Justiceship
of the supreme court of .jlhil^n^no'
1904, his erudite and formidable oppo
nent was the late Hon. Thomas J. Sim
mons against whose private life and
public record there was not even a sus-
nfclon In that race,, with the shrewd
and alert politicians throughout the
state arrayed against him, he carried
forty-eight counties and received more
than 70,000 votes—Judge Simmons de
feat lmr him by 613 majority. Those
counties "represent «very part of the

didate" nor Is he being "boosted” by
the corporations, yet he believes In
"rendering unto Caesar the things that
are Caesar's and .unto God the things
that are God's.” He believes In build
ing up rather than Ur tearing -down.
Hts plan Is to remove all obstacles that
may stand In the way of the wheels of
progress rather than to block the track
with Isms. , .
Conservative and well-poised, pos
sessing q vast store of general and le
gal Information, in the prime of vig
orous, healthy manhood, this plain man
of the people, who knows how to sym
pathize with the masscH in the'strug
gle for a living and a few of the com
forts of this life, has stendlly grown
In strength anil the affections of the
people to such an extent that the
muck-rakers, mud-sllngers and char-
acter assassins have crept from tnelr
slimy dens and turned their pusillan
imous batteries against him.
Voters, take a dispassionate view of
the situation and look at the line-up.
Do you not see that all the alert, keen
and prominent politicians in the state
are supporting tho two Smiths, Lstill
and Howell? Name one that is sup
porting Judge Russell, if you Pjeaje.
It behooves every voter to March his
own heart and conscience in this mad
race for office and see If they can sin
cerely believe that either Katlll, How -
ell. Hoke Hmlth or Jim Smlth-fjach
of whom Is reputed to be a million-
nire—has any sympathy for the worn
fng people of Georgia. Do you sup-
pose they think that he who earns hi*
bread In the sweat of hi* brow I* wor
thy to unloose their shoe latchets.
The fake reformers and pseudo-state
savers are frantically Btrtvlng to ride
Into the governor's office by appealing
to our passions and prejudices. If one-
half of what Howell
number ohe Is true. or ' u co"®®°
mivs in regard to Clark is correct,
neither Is fit to be a c " n "'“ b ’ c '
Iorr chief executive of a state, iney
ought to know each other, for they are
neighbors and have slept ln the same
political trundle bed for the past 25

Poolroom Men and Reformers
Wage Hot Fight at Saratoga
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
Saratoga, N, Y„ Aug. 18.—One of the
Interesting sidelights .to the whirl of
pleasure here Just now Is the fight the
pool rooms of New York are making
to obtain Information of the racing.
The Jockey Club In Its compact with
the antl-raelng reformers agreed to kill
the pool-room evil in New York by
cutting off the information, such ns
the results of the races, the odds, the
Jockeys, etc., which must bo trans
mitted by telephone or telegraph. The
reformers in lieu of tljis promised not
to wage a fight for legislative enact
ment against betting on the race tracks
In the state of New York.
The first thing tho Jockey Club did
was to refuso the sending of race re
sults over the wires running from the
trackslde telegraph office. Tho pool
room agents were debarred from en
trance. _ „ . . .
Then the rooms In New York estab
lished an organization and collected a
campaign fund. Up to tho Saratoga
meeting they have been getting the
stifff wanted by a system of runners
from Inside the course to a near-by
telephone. But the Pinkertons dls-
NELSON MAY WIN
ON HIS GAMENESS
By TAD.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 1*.—Gameness and
stability are going to cut n vast
amount of Ice in the coming champion
ship fist fight between Gan* and Nel-
■on. . ,
The very mention of gameness brings
the name of Nelson to the front. It
was this quality that put the Battler
where he is, and, according to many
it will keep him there.
Nelson is certainly a gamer man
than Gans. There is a record showing
that Joe stopped In his battle with
Frank Erne, claiming that fils eye W'as
knocked out of its socket from a butt.
Erne won because the dark gent re
fused to battle further. , .
There Is nothing in the Dane s record
to show where, and how he ever
stopped. Joe Hedmark put him to the
mat seventeen tildes tp "**
Nelson was there at the flnisb. f'Kht-
Ing as hard as he had been In the first
r °Young Corbett pht him down twice
the state; strengthened by the decla
ration of Dr. O. A. Nunnatly, whose
word is his bond, that he Is the best
and cleanest man in the race. Judge
Richard B. Russell, the only peoples
candidate among the five, continues to
pursue the even tenor of his way re
gardless of tho aspersions cast at him
by the pismires t 5« at tJ J 0,, ( ?S' A RKs h **
wake. C. W. oPARKS,
yidalia, Ga.
covered this and soon stopped it.
Then tho room agent erected a high
pole Just outside the track. Near the
top a platform was built and on this
platform was placed a powerful tele
scope. By aid of this Instrument tho
running of the horses and the result
of the finish could be learned. Also
on the platform was a battery of
telephones which mode possible tho
rapid transmission of the news to the
rooms. The Pinkertons looked on In
a mystified way when they first dis
covered this ruse. They were for cut
ting it down, hut encountered a wrath
ful owner of the property upon which
the pole was hoisted, who defiantly In
formed all visitors that an attempt to
cut or saw the pole would bring his
shotgun Into piny. Ho had leased the
land to the pool rooms. Then tho
Jockey Club gave him three times tho
value of the little lot and down camo
the pole.
Not to be outdone, the pool room
people are now' employing a small cap
tive balloon which soars Just above
where the pole stood some days ago.
Some one fired a bullet Into the big
gas bag on last Tuesday and down
came the huge nlTalr In a Jumble of
wire and silk. At this date the battle
of wits Is about a draw.
In their fights. The Dane got up and
knocked tho Denverite out cold on both
occasions.
Terry McGovern, w-hose terrific
slam has downed more comers than
any other In the world, did not even
rattle the gent from Hegeswlch when
they fought. Terry landed at least five
or six times flush on the Jaw with his
right, but he might Just as well have
throwm it up In the air. It had the
same effect and the question now 1h,
will Gans have necessary soak to put
the Dane out for keeps.
Gans Is the cleverest, coolest and
most accurate man In the world, but
will his slam stop that rushing gent
from Hegeswlch?
Gans will not be the aggressor In
this battle. He will not do the forcing
over a minute, and If Ills punch Is
lacking, his heart will soon depart.
