tion day. Some officers and Judges of
•lection are yet to be named Monday
and Secretary X. Allen, of the ex
ecutive 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 cdunty of Fulton
have other things to consider as well
as the comparative demerits of the re
spectlve gubernatorial aspirants, i
mayor Is to be elected In Atlanta and
though Chief Joyner has been accepted
generally as the leading candidate. It
Is said on the street that Thomas H.
Goodwin Is running well In the stretch
and will poll more votes than his been
anticipated.
On the county ticket the rivalry for
the office of county treasurer hus re
sulted In a hut campaign. Kight as-
g ts for the place are In the field,
rt L. Culberson, chairman of the
y commissioners. Is spoken of as
tader up to this time, but Macon
larp, Peter F. Clarke and Mayor
Iward are looked upon us strung
tfvuls. It was expected that the race
^rould narrow duwn to a held 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
thoVIrst ward, which Is In line of sue-
cesslon to furnish one of the city fath

troller general and William B. Merritt
and Mark Johnston both want to be

REGISTRATION BEHIND
THAT OF TWOYEARS AGO
Registration from the country districts of F'ulton county falls behind
the registration of two years ago by over 10b. The registration In the city
wards has not been compiled, but It la believed that It will also fall short
of the figures In 1904, and that the total registration for the county will be
less than that of 1904 by between COO and 700 names.
County Tax Collector Andy Btewart completed the 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 fur 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 os fol
lows:

MANY FAI-LTO REGISTER
FOR GENERAL PRIMARY
On next Wednesday the voten 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 11 months ago
when the candidates took the stump to appeal to the voters for support
and has grown In Interest and bltternees 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 seotlone of the state, eepe-
daily In the larger cities, In many of the rural 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 candidate# centered their contest for su
premacy.
IMMENSE AUDIENCE 1 ^‘«»>O«^O0f>OOOOOO<H W OO
GREETS CLARk HOWELL.
Special to The Georgian.
Valdosta, Ga., Aug. 18.—Clark Howell
was greeted here today by a crowd of
several thousand parsons, equaling the
audience which heard Hoke Smith on
Thursday. He was Introduced by Col
onel W. S. West In an earnest speech
of fifteen minutes.
The major part of Mr. Howell's
speech was devoted to the disfran
chisement question, which he charac
terised us the most dangerous proposi
tion Georgia had ever been asked to
Indorse. The s|ieech 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 eateh his words, the address being
delivered In the open air from a plat
form In front of the court house.
One of the largest barbecue dinners
ever served In this section wae par-
tttken of at the close of the speech.
HOWELL AND 3MITH
FIGHTING FOR BIBB.
Special to The Georgian.
Mucon, Oa„ Aug. 18.—The Indication#
here ore that Bibb county will go either
to Hoke Smith or Clark Howell; no
man can wildly guess lo which of these
candidates. The partisans of both are
actively at work, and have been for
several weeks. Russell, It Is declared
by frlende of the other candidates, will
run third here. The town Is being del
uged with circulars opposing Smith,
but It la believed they are too late to
cut any figure In the campaign. The
voters are figuring the situation out for
themselves.
day night. There are live candidate*
for the abort congressional term and
two for the long term, with the results
uncertain.
A vote of 80 per cent Is as much a• Is
expected. The total white registration
for Chatham county for the primary on
August 22 Is 8,955.
OEPEND8 ON WEATHER
IN MURRAY COUNTY.
Special to The Georgian.
Spring Place, Ga., Aug. 18.—This
county Is almost all a farming county
and some of the voting precincts are
wide apart, so that If the weather Is

ray, county Is 1,711.

election for Judge W. 81. Dunbar by a
very large majority. It Is said that
this organization has given Its support
to Mr. Smith. He had but little new to
Inject Into the campaign and his ad
dress was the same as the one he has
been delivering to the votera of the
state In many sections.
Several times 3lr. Smith referred to
local polltlcluns and to their standing
for or against him. This being the
home of Judge E. H. Calloway he had
to give out a slight rap for this dis
tinguished Georgian, but It was not re
ceived with much enthusiasm.
Mr. Smith explained his views on the
rallroud question, and denounced the
so-called "pnlltlcnl rings" In the state
of Georgia, and the railroad domina
tion. He grew very eloquent at times
and he was loudly cheered.
THE RACE IS BETWEEN
SMITH AND HOWELL.
Special to The Georgian.
Amerlcus, Ga., Aug. 18.—It Is gener
ally thought by those acquainted with
the situation that ths race between
Smith and Howell will be very close In

both aides.

Trade In the fruit nnd produce 'line tins
been very quiet for ths past week, the
demand being very light, with the supply
limited, causing nu Inactivity, with little
doing.
liecetpts of penches have been light, with
.imlity poor. The selling price has been
exceptionally good, taking into considera
tion these conditions.
There Is little chntige In the melon
ket, the receipts being ample to supply the
demand.
Market Is opening up on hannnns
ns other fruit becomes scarcer, the demand
should be greater, prices ruling higher.
I.cuions havo advanced at nfi points of
Importation 75c to 81 per box.
Unllforufu fruit makes Its appearance
the mnrket next week. The indications ore
that the demand will lie strong, with light
receipts.
Both dressed and lire poultry have been
fairly active at quotation prices, all receipts
meeting ready sale.
Eggs are scarce, with very limited re
ceipts. The ndvance In price from 2 to 3c
per dozen does not meet the demands,
and everything Is being readily sold, "
market closing practically bare.
Butter Is In some better demand, but
slow sale at n low range of prices.
The home gardeners are largely supplying
the mnrket with everything In ’the vegnta
ble line.
Irish potatoes are scarce, with on advance
of 5@10c per bushel.
Onions are ready sale at quotation prices.
When the election Is over, nnd the hot
air has evaporated, we think people will
settle down nnd business will again assume
Its normal condition, which will be a relief
to n long suffering public throughout the
state lu genera).

been as severe as the second, the death
list would havo run Into the thousand.
Fortunately the first shock brought
the people scurrying Into the street.
Up to this time there has been no tld ?i
wave and the shipping In the harbor
has escaped with comparatively little
damage.
Heavy Lots Expected.
The business section of the city has
suffered the most severely and It is
feared almost irreparable damage has
been done to . tho sea walls nnd
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
point* have suffered as severely as has
Valparaiso.
Meager reports from the ccast cities
aa far north as Iquique also tell of
damage by the. earthquake.
It Is feared that when news doe.
come in It will tell a frightful story
of loss of life and destruction of prop’,
erty.
WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD
13 ASKING FOR TIDINGS.
Special Cable—Copyright
Beunos Ayres, Aug. 18.—Cablegrams
are pouring In from the capitals of the
civilized world asking for Information
concerning the disaster at Valparaiso,
but thus far it has been Impossible to
reply definitely, owing to the fact that
the wires across , the Andes are pros-
trated. The belief Is expressed In
some quarters that the reports have
been exaggerated, but there is noth
ing on which to found such an opinion.
Not a word Is coming through, nor has
there been any direct tidings since im
mediately after the lint shock when all
communication ceased.
