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.

London, April 23.—Thl» la St. George’s Day and In the United King* dom, Canada, Australia, South Africa and every other part of the world The only new date announced yet where a handful of Englishmen can for him is at Valdosta Saturday.

Judge J. K. Hines spoke In 1344, Though 8t. George was born speak Swalnesboro today, and will 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.

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.” In Ephlphanla, Cecelia, he became hon ored In England at an early date In hi. career and while calendar# of the that he chared April 23 with other ealnte, a Saxon Martyrology declares that the day waa dedicated to him alone.
