Atlanta, Ga., November .24—There

Whatever the feeling of politicians

CltisenB from all sections of the
state coming to Atlanta now are
unanimous in so expressing them
selves.
“Personally I do not know the
mind or intention of the state ex

ed In the issue," said one prominent
visitor, “but I do know that the rank
and file of the people want a pri
mary. They feel that all manipula
tion and scheming will be obviated
by taking the matter back to the
voter.
“It Is also probably true that- the
legislature would favor throwing the
election Into the general assembly,
because that body like the excite
ment of changes, and it would bring
on something new. If it goes to the
legislature, and that -body should
name Hoke Smith, he would serve
only until December as governor
Then, however. If be was elected
president of the senate he would
serve as governor until an election

Ogiethrope w«i not much on relig

two objects In View In bringing .Wes

ley's doctrines on the savage Indi
ans, who were giving more or leas

On the way 1 acroas tho ocean the
sailors and others on tho boat were
In the habit of ridiculing Wesley and
his followers for their mode of wor

ing. On one occasion when the tor
mentors of tho pious Wesley were at
tholr worst, Oglethorpe ran out In
to their midst, denouncing them as
"d—d scoundrels” am) threatening
to “knock h—1 out of the next man
who bothered Wesley or hia friends.”
"Theso men have got my kind of re
ligion." he Is quoted as saying,''and
d—d If I am going to stand by and
see them worried by yon, hellions.”
That blunt speech Js said to havo

Col. L. E. Tierney, a wealthy coal
operator of southern West Virginia,
has announced his candidacy fir the
United States senate to succeed Sen
ator Natbkn B. Scott.
Atlanta, Ga., November 14.—A
presiding elder of the Methodist
church engaged in a rough-and- tum
ble fist-fight in ono of Atlanta's best
known cafes, was the most pleasing
diversion of Thanksgiving eve In
this clftr, dcsplto the pscsence here
of a number of theatrical atara and
other counter attractions.
Dr. Joel T. Davos; presiding elder
for this district and one of the best-
known Methodist ministers in Geor
gia, got into the liveliest kind of a
personal difficulty with H. W. Rus
sell, a live stock man. In Durand's
depot esfe yesterday afternoon.
Cases were made and tho affair
was aired before the recorder later.
According to the story of the polleo-
man who mado the case, Russell and
Dr. Daves came to blows as the re
sult of a discussion which alerted as
to whether or not some of the food
was good or not.
It seems that Russell, with some
companions, was seated at s table
near Dr. Daves and the latter’s
friends. Russell. It is said, got np
and started to leave the restaurant
because ho waa dissatisfied with
something. Then It la stated, Dr.
Daves remarked loud enough fot
Russell to hear that ho was "leaving
a mighty good supper,' or something
like that, which Russell look to
mean that Dr. Daves was trying to
rebuke him for making an unjusti
fied "kick."
“Whether It Is a good supper or a
bad supper, It Is my supper," tho
stork man Is said to have responded,
“and It will be better for you to at
tend to your own supper and mind
your own business.”
Other words followed, and then
blow*, while the negro waltcra,
frightened almost white, fled through
tho door for their Uvea. Both Dr. Da
ves and the stock man are vigorously
athletic, and it. was a real set-to.
Spending and Applanse.
Of course the colonel in address
ing Arkansas favored the Federal
government shouldering the expen
se* of draining swamp lands in Ar-
ksnkas. One of the secrets of Roose
velt's success is the lavish generosity
with which he loves to spend the
government's money and receive the
popular gratitude.—Macon News.
' general assembly for measures he
may advocate as governor. But
that Is as far as tne statement will
hold good, astute political observ
ers conteud. It Is stated aa a mat
ter of fact by those accustomed to
study conditions closely that a
very large number of the now leg
islature who voted for Hoke Smith
and who will stand by him In most
ieg'slatlve matters, are unalterably
opposed to him ns senator.
Not for Senator
These men contend that they
stood by him for the governorship
on the ground that the things he ad
vocated were tbe beat for the
state, and that they elected him to
stick to the governorship to work
out the changes he advocates and
which they advocate. These men
are opposed to him laying aside the
responsibility of the governorship,
solely to gratify hia personal aai-
hltlon for the —ihlc,
iiloUTan-no itn> peupill 1 WffUu stato
gnd the men who went out and
worked for him, they contend. ,
It is a certainty that Smith will
not have the thing all hit own way
In the leglilature, along this line
at any rate, at hia friends and ad
vocates would lead the public to be
lieve. Aa a matter of fact they do
not think so themselves, hut want
to create that impression over tbe
state, so friends of-Terrell or oth
ers who may enter will stand
hands off for Smith.
Want Primary
There is a growing feeling that
the fair method would be to eall a
primary, thereby going back to the
people with the question and let
them docldo who they wanted, lt
Is pointed out that Georgia stands
for the primary system, and that *
Smith himself has always advocated
It.
Sonator Terrell Is strong In his
advocacy of leaving the Irene up
to the people. He beVeves that the
state excutfte committee will eall
a primary before next March, when
the Interim for which be was ap
pointed will expire. But It should
not he rorgotten that the state ex
ecutive committee Is now under the
domination of Hoke Smith, and
would undoubtedly he guided by
his desires In tho matter.
Thnt Governor-elect Sm'th wants
the sapatnrshlp no ono doubts. That
ho will do all In h's power to land
the plum Is also twiloved by every
one who knows hia ambitions and
bent.
Aa yet the situation Is all pretty
well under cover, but It can not re
main In that state long. The show
down will come soon. That Smith
will lie In for the senatorship is a
pretty prediction.
As yot the candidacy of Coving- ■
ton and Hardwick Is only tentative,
as It Is believed both would retire
in te face of an announced candi
dacy of Hoke Smith.
