expressed a willingness to becotno
members of It that It was decided to
Like them all In, thus Increasing the
number of those who are Interested
In It and at the same time lessen
the liability of each stockholder.
The 'Stockholders are liable for
the number of shares each one
takes, though only two or three
stockholders took more than one
share, though many expressed a
willlngneas to take moro If It was
* needed: A great many people sub
scribed to stock In the association
who usually do not feel an Interest
In matters of this sort. Hardly any
body refused to 'go Into It.
Thera Is erery reason to believe
thst the Chautauqua la going to
gire'Valdosta a week of the best en
tertainment that this city could
have and a claaa of entertainment
that will appeal to the best taste
and to the highest Intelligence. The
Chautauqua will be held late In
May, when the weather will be
pleasant, and It will be held under
a tent, with a seating capacity cf
aheut 1,500 people. It Is proposed
to put the tent on the school
grounds.
The program will constat . of
twelve different entertainments, con
sisting of first class musical ntira-

Politics In Lowndes county have
taken on a good deal more life dur
ing the paat few dayB, due very
largely to the fact that the retire
ment of Congressman Brantley from
th e congressional race opens a way
for moro candidates for that place.
It seems to he tery certain that
Valdosta will have one or two can
didates in the race for congress,
The friends of Col. J. R. Walker
urging him to run and the
friends of Judge Oscar Smith are
also urging him Into tho race. Col
Walker formerly lived In the east
ern part of the district and has
many friends thoro who are stand
ing solidly behind him. Judge
Smith has lived lu the northern-part
of the district and has revived
many lottera and other messages
from his friends up that way asking
him to get Into the race.
Judge I’urker. of the Waycross
circuit, wan in Valdosta yesterday
and It Is said that he notlflcd his
friends here that he oxpecta to make
a hot light for every Inch of ground
In the district. Ho Is now In Echols
county where he Is looking after his
fences. He states that ho expects to
light for Brooks county, and Clinch
county, though h» concedes Lown-
dos county to the Valdosta candi
date.
Col. Walker and Judge Smith
have many flattering offers of sup-
purt from counties In nil parts of
the district, and tt 1» very certain
that when tho race opens In earn
est, If both of these Valdostans re
main In- the race,’ there will bo
aomethtng doing all along the line..
In county politics there Is con-

nnq It Is believed that he would
receive enthuslaatlc endorsement
from all of these counties.
It was said yesterday that many
Mr. B. O. l.aetlnger's friends
were urging him to run for sheriff,
against Sherli; Gornlo. but It Is not
believed that Mr. Lnstlnger will got
In the race, as he Is one of Mr.
Gornto's friends and ho stated that
he would not r\i n for any office
this year.
Mr Willis Ieng, the connty
treasurer! is hnvlng opposition this
year for the first time In a Iona
time. Mr. Ansel Knight, s good
oltlien of the Hahlra dlslrlet. Is a
candidate tor county treasurer.
The rae. for representative from
Lowndes eonnty has attracted a good
deal of attention, but no candidates
have announced »» T»t It Is not
known whether Messrs C. R. Ashley
and W. L. Converse will offer for
re-election or not. The friends of
Col. W. 8. West are anxious for
him to get In the race, though his
trip to Furore may prevent. Mr
O. K. Jones, Mr. J. E. Webb. Mr.
H. Y. Tillman and several other good
eltlxens of I-ownde* eonnty have
hern urged to run" for the office

people of Valdosta will be glad to
take advantage of thla opportunity
and make the Chautauqua a great
literary and musical, ae well at so

It Is expected that the Associa

160 Valdosta eltlxens. About 70

Atlanta, March 13.—Mrs. OpTe
Grace Is complaining bitterly that
Atlanta lawyers and the general
public are trying her case on the
street corners and in newspaper col
umns, and are condemning her out
of court.
As a matter of fact, every news
paper In Atlanta has printed not
only facts and speculations on the
case, but elaborate arguments, often
quoted from attorneys, designed to
prove that she Is either guilty or in
nocent as the case may be.
The detectives say they know sho
is guilty, but there Is nothing but
ciicumstantlal evidence to base the
charge on. Attorney Reuben Ar
nold haa made the positive state
ment that If Grace dies he will see
Mrs. Grace convicted.
Attorneys Moore & Branch, rep
resenting Mrs. Grace, and o 4 lv-rs
who sympathize with her, are quo
ted In equally elaborate arguments
to prove that she Is innocent.
Women discuss It at their after
noon teas. Newsboys fight about it
In the street.
If she ever does come to trial,
how on earth the judge will be abl*
to find a Jury In Atlanta of twelvo
men who have not formed any defi
nite previous opinion on the “guilt
or Innooence of the prisoner at the
bar,” Is a thing that will prove
most difficult.
It would be, perhaps, unfair to
6ay that the whole Atlanta public
Is prejudiced one way or the other,
but it la certainly true that practi
cally the whole public has formed
Its opinion one way or the other,
