Webb, a prominent eotton merchant of Athens, announced *-i Du rand's Tuesday that James Smith, of Oglethoroe. would be a candidate for gov ernor. and that his announcement would probably be made before the end ot the week. Mr. Webb has just returned from a trip to Smithsonia. the home of Col. Smith, and was told by CoL Smith that he would be tn the race According to Mr. Webb. Mr. Smith said that he was winding up his business af fairs as fast as possible tn order to make his announcement. Mr. Webb says Mr. Smith told him he would make Atlanta his headquarters and would engage rooms in the Kimball house for the purpose of conducting his campaign. The announce ment to Mr. Webb is now regarded as au thoritative. and it is believed now that Mr. Smith wUI be a candidate. Mr. Smith's name has been mentioned time and time again as a prospective can didate but the public has not until now received a positive assurance that he would be tn the race. Col. Smith is one as the best known, if not the best known farmer, in Georgia, and the statement by Mr. Webb that Mr. Smith will be a can didate will, no doubt, be of interest to hundreds of people in Georgia. It is the intention of Mr. Smith to get hto fanning affairs in such shape that he can devote his time to the campaign. He has some 3,000 bales of cotton to sell, so it is reported, and as soon as he can ar range for this sale, he will be ready to remove hts home to Atlanta and prepare his plans for a campaign. Mr. Smith's friends have been asking him for some time to make thy announce ment for governor, and it is now a cer tainty that he will offer for the govern orship. Mr. Smith to eery strong In his section of the state, and will prove an in teresting factor tn the campaign. The en trance of Mr. Smith will give the people four candidates to select from. The poli ticians have been keeping an eye on Mr. Smith for several months, but owing to the silence which has been kept by the farmer from Oglethorpe they have beeu unable to make any predictions. Speaking of his trip to Smithponia, Mr. Webb said to a Journal reporter: “Mr. Smith told me several days ago that he would be a candidate for gov ernor. He said it was hto intention to open headquarters at the Kimball house in Atlanta and wage a vigorous campaign for the governorship. Mr. Smith told me that as soon as be could get hto affairs in shape he would make hts announce ment. I found him every busy the day I was at his home, and he was then getting ready, so he told me. to get in the race. Mr. Smith said he thought he could win in the contest and was very enthusiastic over his chances/' Mr. Webb also said that he understood Mr. Smith had told several other people he would be in the race this year. IS SPEER TO OPPOSE PArtK FOR TREASURER? It to announced at the capitol that W J.. Speer will oppose R E. Park for gtate treasurer. The announcement to Made by several of Mr. Speer's friends. Mr. Speer was not at the capttol when the announcement was made and there fore could not be seen. He has had the matter under advisement for some time, however, and the general opinion all along has been that he would be in the race Mr. Speer held the office prior to the time when Treasurer Park was elected, and made an excellent official. In event Mr. Speer runs hto friends say that he will be a very strong candidate and has splendid chances of winning. Treasurer Park has not been in office -two years, but hto administration has been very satisfactory, and he to frequent ly complimented on the manner in which the affairs of his department are man aged. The race between former Treasurer Speer and Treasurer Park will, no doubt, be one of the most Interesting of the com ing election. Both men have many friends who will give them their support. WELLINGTON IS IN CONTEMPT DENOUNCES HIS COLLEAGUE FOR CHARGING HIM WITH TRA- DUCING M’KINLEY. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 24 -"Cow . ardly and malicious falsehood", is what Senator Wellington shoved at Senator Mc- Comas at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Sen ator McComas was smiling the moment but the smile died away and he went pale. Senator Hoar sprang to his feet and call ed Wellington to order, preventing further epithets it to believed, as Wellington was about to proceed further. Wellington had been speaking five minutes. The galleries were crowded to suffoca tion and every senator was in his seat. There was no demonstration when he ap plied the epithet. His language immediately proceeding was to the effect that if he should meet McComas outside the chamber and Mc • Comas should say Wellington's state ' ments were Incorrect. he. Wellington, would say McComas uttered a cowardly and malicious falsehood. Wellington hav ing been called to order and the point hav ing been sustained, cannot speak on the floor unless by vote of the senate he is cleared. He is In a similar situation with Tillman and McLaurin. Previous to this utterance Mr. Welling ton made a vigorous speech reiterating statements he had previously made as to the promise made by President McKinley and denying statements made by Mr. JicConuf tn hto speech earlier in the day He said hb believed President Mc- Kinley meant to keep bis promises, but had fallen under malign influences.

Early cables were barely as good as expected, although noting an advance of l-32d in spot cotton and 1 1-2 to 2 points on futures. But finding our market bull- Ishly inclined, the English market stiffen ed rapidly, and Europe sent generous buy ing orders here. The room was made more or less uneasy before the opening call, by the appearance of some 50.000 March "Noticed.* The option opened 2 points lower; sold off 2 points more to 8.55 and then scored a sheer rise to 8.65 on a scram ble of belated shorts to protect them selves.

Murphy A Co.'s Cotton Latter. NEW YORK. Feb. 36.—About the only feat ure in today's market was the Issuing of no tices on about 25,000 bales of March con tracts however. It had only a temporary effect as they were ail taken care of and prices advanced from 5 to 6 points over opening figures. The market ruled dull and rather quiet throughout the entire session, trading again being restricted on account of the con tinued trouble with telegraphic service. Port receipts footed up about 25.000. against 18,000 last year. Estimates tomorrow for Houston 5.000, against 3.190; New Orleans M.OOO. against 9,563 last year. However, locals paid little attention to the movement, although the con tinued increase tn receipts has reduced bull ish enthusiasm, and there is a disposition on the part of locals to realise when they can do so to any advantage, but offerings to any great extent soon depress prices. New York stock on contract cotton Is now about 106,000 bales with Indication of further Increase of 10.000 within the next week or so. Towards the clow of the market some buying for New Orleans and locals Improved prices some 2 to 3 points. The situation at present is rather mixed, but sentiment in the main Is rather bullish. , Grain and Provisions.

He launched into an attack on the popular demonstration accorded Prince Henry. The diners were thrown into confusion and at the conclusion of his remarks most of them hurriedly left the room. "I do not approve of this reception and this great ovation of the American people to a German paper admiral which has itself denied scant credit to a real admi ral, an American,” Mr. Gray said. “It Is the height of flunkeyism. Neither do I approve the sending of flunkeys by the United States to the coronation of a Brit ish monarch." FITZGERALD STARTS TOWN IN OKLAHOMA TERRITORY Col. P. H.

This time he has opened a town which bears his name In Oklahoma, twelve miles north of White head. Fitzgerald, O. T., is situated In the center of the old Fort Supply military reservation.

In selling this vast tract of land the United States government reserved the old fort buildings and a wonderful spring, which formerly supplied the garrison sta tioned there, and which contains many medicinal properties.

The much-talked-of extension of the Tallulah Falls railway to Franklin, N. C., is now an assured fact and with the an nouncement comes the report that the Illinois Central Is back of the operation. This means in all probability, a new road into Atlanta. The extension alone would give Atlantians who go to Tallulah easy transportation into a new section, which has long been without railroad facilities and within twelve miles of High lands, a popular resort, where hundreds are in the habit of going every year. This route, however, assumes a greater aspect when it Is known the Illinois Cen tral is back of the enterprise. It is not many miles from Franklin, N. C., to Knoxville, Tenn., where connection would be made with the' Tennessee Central, which has rails into Nashville, whqjre it Is thought the Illinois Central will eventual ly build and gain control ot the Tennes see Central. The work of extending the Tallulah Falls railway from Tallulah Falls to Franklin. N. C., a distance as 43 miles will begin in ten days and is to be completed by September Ist. E. R. Gil christ, chief engineer of* the road, was in Atlanta Saturday for the purpose of letting contracts for the work and has already closed a contract for the build ing of five and one-half miles of the road with Fred Wagener, an Atlanta con tractor. - The route of the extension will be due north. It will cross the Tallulah river, a mile from Tallulah Falls, and run through Rabun county to Clayton, and then into Franklin, Macon county, N. C.
