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.

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.

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.

Irish potatoes are scarce, with on advance of 5@10c per bushel. Onions are ready sale at quotation prices.
