Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “It is diffi:cuit for the majority of the wheat traders to see any offsetting infiuence to advance prices in the face of the continued good crop prospects. . “Jt was noticeable that houses which have the cash corn with May sold against it were talking very bearish last night, saying there was nothing in the situation or news to make higher prices. Those who changed their hedges from May to July last week were re versing it vesterday, as the cash de mand disappointed them. Bulls said they see indications of a large short interest which might be easily scared into covering.” 8 N @ John Inglis wires Logan: *“Through central Indiana wheat in fine condition; perfect stand; no evidence of fly.” . s @ Bartlett, Frazier Company says: «“Wheat, corn, oats and provisions: We see nothing bullish in the outlook.” B.

The first camp is made up of Slaton’s uncompromising enemies, and the second camp is made up of Senator Smith's uncom promising enemies. Naturally, one expects Slaton's en emies to be opposed to him—and so they may readily be forgiven and ex cused for doing the more or less ob vious thing. 4 Those few people who seek to shoot Slaton to pieces merely because they dislike Hoke Smith so cordially, how ever—they may come to call for and deserve more analytical attention later on! In this connection, two recent newspaper utterances are worthy of notice. hTe Rochelle New Era says: Many of Governor Slaton's friends are disappointed because he is not going to run against Hoke Smith. The unexpired term of Senator Bacon may be easier to get, but many who would have voted for him as Hoke Smith’s opponent will vote 'against him for the unexpired term. The Alpharetta Free Press says: Whoever deserts “Jack” Sla ton because “Jack” weuldn't run ~ against Hoke is a mighty sorry friend to “Jack.” The suspicion seems warranted that The New Era really dislikes Senator Smith more than it likes Sla ton; and the further suspicion seems warranted that exactly, the reverse is true of The Free Press\. The voter who would have been rampantly enthusiastic in the event Slaten ran against Smith, and yet will be lukewarm when he is a can didate for the other position—that voter is NOT a Slaton man so much as he is merely an anti-Smith man! Roscoe Luke, of Thomasville, in dulged himself to-day in one of those occasional visits to Atlanta that he really ought to repeat oftener. Mr. Luke, who has served as Mayor of Thomasville and Solicitor of the City Court, is one of the leading po litical influences in Southwest Geor gia, and ran Judge Frank Park, of Sylvester, an uncomfortably close race for Congress a few months ago, for the succession to Judge Anderson Roddenbery, Mr. Luke does not state positively and unequivocally now that he will be in the race again this summer against Judge Park, but he undoubt edly left he impression upon the minde of those he discussed the mat ter with that he most likely will be. He frankly admits an ambition to serve hig people in Congress, and he is sure to have a try for the position sooner or later—with the betting run ning largely in favor of sooner! Luke is a strong man, and a . man who makes friends easily. He is one ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET. (By W. H.

LONDON, April 28.—The suffragettes to-day burned the grandstand at Par dou;’ukme course at liford, § miles north of London. of the best lawyers in Georgia, and 't he runs for Congress again the race will be well worth keeping one's eye on! Judge Robert Pottle, formerly of the Court of Appeals, inow a practic ing attorney in Albany, is an Atlanta visitor. . "I feel like a free man off the bench,” said the judge, “and not like a slave. I wouldn't have the job on the Appeals bench again if half Geor gia petitioned me to take it And that is not because 1 do not appreciate the high honor of the place, either, and the great digmity thereof—but it is the hardest grind I ever went up against, and the poorest paid. “I can afford to say that now, ne cause I no longer ha e any material or personal interest in the matter. The Legislature should provide adequa‘e pay for that court, nevertheless. It is a shame—almost a crime, I mignt say—to pay the judges of that court the niggardly salafy the State pro vides, “l hope the next Legislature will raise the salary of the judges of the Appeals Court—it surely ought to! The present figure is ridiculous and ‘'wrong in every way!” William D. Upshaw, editor of The Golden Age, lecturer, Sunday school worker, prohibitionist and so forth (but not, as was mistakenly stated in this column some time ago, a min= ister of the Gospel), is considering the matter of becoming a candidate for the United States S:nate, in suc cession to Bacon. He has under ad ‘vlsemont a large petition from friends throughout the State, and will make known his decision within the next few days. If Mr. Upshaw enters the race he ‘will make national prohibition his chief platform plank. He is one of the pioneer prohibition workers in the South, and is recognized every where as a leading advocate of that cause, He will not run upon that one issue only, however, as he has na tional ideas with respect to educa= tion, taxation and other matters. “if 1 run,” said Mr. Upshaw, dis cussing his tentative candidacy, “I shall certainly make a real campaign throughout Georgia. 1 will not have a big pile of money behind me, but I will put a big lot of energy and fight into my effort to win. I am in good health and am fit as a fiddle for a fight. Whether this is my time to run—well, that is the matter that I must thrash out with myself!"” Floyd County has a red-hot primary election on for Tuesday, in which at least one man of Stdte-wide acquain~ tance—John M. Vandiver—is inti mately concerned. Leonard G. Todd is a candidate for Tax Collector against Mr. Vandiver, 'und for weeks has been engaged in a most aggressive campaign to defeat him. Todd is a popular young man and is well and most favorably known throughout the county. They are betting heavy odds against ‘Todd, however, for it looks as if Van= diver is to be re-elected by a rousing | majority.

It is generally understood that the exhibit will be poor, but that the usual dividend will be declared.
