three days speaking trip taking him
to Columbus, Macon and Dublin. He
expressed himself as perfectly satis
fied with the reception accorded him

Sword Clasped to his Heart
New York, April 23.—With the sword he carried as a mem
her of the famous Morgan radiers in the Civil war clasped to
his heart, Col. Wo. S. S. Warwick was found dead in bed on the
top floor of his bouse in the Bronx. An old colored servant
made the discovery. The coroner said that death was due to
infirmities of old age.
Col. Warwick came of a famous Southern family and was
bred in wealth in Virginia. Twenty years ago he came to New
York, and having plenty of money he entertained lavishly until
two years ago, when he became involved in a disastrous finan
cial deal, losing everything,

In Wrlghtsvllle Saturday.
Manager J. R. Smith says he Is
perfectly satisfied with reports con
cerning the Brown campaign. Prom
all sections of the state he says
comes most favorable reports.
Interest now Is centered in the
meeting of the state democratic ex
ecutive committee Friday. Three Im
portant possibilities are discussed to
the exclusion of all others: A change
In the date for the primary: a change
from the majority plan back to tho
county unit system, and the selection
of all delegates to St. Louis directly
by the people. It is said that Sea
born Wright will be here to fight for
a late primary. He has advocated
this right'along, and It Is- said was
very much disappointed when the
former meeting fixed an early pri
mary. Governor Smith’s friends, or
at least many of them, think it would
Injure his chances If any change In
the primary date was made. The
Brown people are keeping still and
saying nothing about what their de
sires are about the meeting.
Big Improvement. Contemplated,
Edwin P. Ansley, a prominent real
estate malt, has secured options on
Forsyth street property from Mari
etta to Peachtree streets with a view
of making improvements aggregating
several million dollars. To finance
the big movement, which contem
plates a solid line of fine office and
business houses, a real estate trust
company will be formed. Plans for
five large buildings are already un
der way on this street. Including an
annex to the Piedmont hotel, and a
big department store for J. M. High
& Company. Mr, Ansley feels certain
that his plans along this line will
materialise.
Watson Continues to Prod Hoke.
In the current Issue of Tom Wat-
Bon's Weekly Jeffersonian, Just out,
Watson declares that he Is for neith
er Smith nor Brown. This apparent
ly settles the question that has been
agitating so many people a long time
—what Watson will do In the gover
norship race. He continues, however,
to prod Governor Smth pretty vigor
ously, and makes fun of the govern
or for trying to make prohibition and
disfranchisement an issue of the
campaign.
Gen. Evans In Great Demand.
An unusual and unique compli
ment has been paid General Clement
A. Evans. He had a number of In
vitations to make Memorial Day ad
dresses this year, but stated that he
could accept only one, of course.
Then several points that wanted him
got together and arranged memorial
day celebrations on different days In
■order to hare General Evans. He
will, therefore, speak la Barnesvllle
Friday, Saturday In Decatur at the
unveiling of a Confederate monu
ment, Sunday in Greensboro and
Monday in Grlffln will introduce a
grand-son of Robert 1$. I-ce.
The State Executive Committee
will be prevailed upon to change the
date of the primary so as to give the
Governor more time to stay and
stem the tide. If It falls, the state
Is to be flooded with orator "appoin
tees’ to try and stem it. Thus the
“silent contempt” campaign Is to go
along on the ’ original lines.”
