Will lie i live Active Sup port to the Candidacy ol Mr. Brown? T l„, ri , js much speculation ns to depositin'' of'Mr. Watson in tho , )r psont state campaign and tho Lnplc generally urn looking for- Ivnr.l to a definite announcement from him with groat interest. Ilm »<.vere attacks upon Gov. Smith during tho past low weeks ] mv ,» encouraged Mr. Brown’s friends to believe that ho will support Mr. Brown actively and openly. It ;s stated that even Mr. Wat son's support of Mr. Brown could not change tlm result, however, nnd that Smith could he elected without the populist vote and be sides that many of them will support the governor anyway. Shortly after the last elo:tion the Atlanta Journal figured it out tlml thegov< rnor would have Been elected without the populist vote overall the candidates audit is claimed that Mr. Watson and other populists construed this article of the Journal to mean a lark of appreciation of the sup port of the populists and an un derestimate of the populist strength in Georgia. The Atlanta Journal stated then os follows: “In the presidential election of 1901 Hon. Thomas E. Watson, populist candidate, received in Georgia a total populist vote of 28,400. Hoke Smith’s majority in the primaries of last week was, as has been shown, 25,048. Had not these 28,400 populists, who supported Mr. Watson in 1904, been allowed to vote in tho recent primary, granting they all voted for Hoke Smith, Mr. Smith’s ma jority still would have been 1,558, while his plurality over his closest MUSI REGISTER FOR THE PRIMARY Chairman Miller of the State Committee Has So Rul£d. Those who desire to vote in the primay June 4th must register ac cording to the interpretation of the rules adopted by the chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, Judge Miller of Macon. As there was no election last year it is necessary to register for the coming election. It is hoped that every qualified voter will register for the coming primary and all candidates should ut'ge their friends to do so, as it is a matter often delayed and fre quently forgotten.

WILL THE JOKE AFFECT HIS CANDIDACY? MR. WARTHEN WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE. opponent would have been de creased but little.” In tho same issue, in the course of editorial comment on the news story the following is said to have given deep offonse to Mr. Watson and his friends: “So that even if Hoke Smith had not received the support of the former popul ist in the election just ended—even if tho attempt to exclude them from the prima ries had slice eded—lie would still have received a safe majority over his four competitors.” That’s the Question Keep ing Back Announcement for Representative. Just as a member of the Wash- ngton couuty bar was considering giving out an announcement of his candidacy for representative on the platform of a popular merchant, hanker and military man of the city, which embraces only two words, “plant corn,” along came another member of the bar and all innocently of the serious result of the story, allowed as how he had seen the prospective aspirant for legislative honors plowing of a gray horse in his garden and handling the plow handles with a lack of grace and ease calculated to make the horse augli and using language unbe coming to an aspirant for so high an honor as a member of the house of representatives. But,the story is a good one and whatever etfoct it has on the hopes and as pirations of the other fellow, its a good joke and readers are referred to Attorney Wright for particu lurs. 1 n t lie meantime, < lie fellow who plowed the lmrse is wondering if the story has laid him out on what Chairman McLendon would call a Procrustean bed and if the voters I consider the candidacy oF a Probable that Candidates For Representative will Not be Opposed. In a card published in the Pro gress Tuesday Col. Gvo. D. War- then announces that he will not be in the race for Representative. There had been some talk that Mr. Warthen might run. It is probable that Messrs. Join er and Lord will not have opposi tion. Some others have been spoken of as probable candidates, but the effort to get some one else in tin race lias so far failed and it is freely predicted that, both tin present candidates will go without any contest.

This could be had if we had a railroad direct to Liverpool? Cotton is falling and so are our prices. Read the sam ples. iivan so little qualified for the duties of a legislator that he can not plow as gracefully as could Attorney Wright and who perhaps could not be able to get anybody to run him for tlie year becausi he could not plow well. It is believed, however, that the matter will be thoroughly consid ered and that a challenge will bo issued by the attorney who was joked to the attorney who told it to plow to a finish on the fair ground farm and let an experienc ed judge say which member of the bar would make the best and most graceful plow. hand. In the mean time the county bosses are think ing that there is no danger of the announcement for representative of a man whose good qualities as a plow hand have been called in question.
