night, informed a friend in this city
that he had decided to enter the race

candidate for Congress from this, the
Second, congressional district at the
approaching primary, the date of
which is to be fixed by the district
executive committee at Albany next
week. This announcement of Judge
Spence’s decision will meet with the
hearty approval of his host of friends
throughout the district, coming as it
does in response to urgent requests
that he enter the contest from voters
from all parts of the district.
Judge Spence is well known
throughout the district. He has won
his way to an undisputed seat upon
the superior court bench of Albany cir
cuit through his sterling character, his
rugged honesty, his ability as a jurist
and his unfaltering adherence always
to sound principles.
He will be remembered by the peo
ple of the district as a staunch ad
mirer and friend of the late Hon.
Henry G. Turner, who so ably repre
sented this district, and subsequently
the Eleventh district in Congress, and
as oneVf Mr. Turner’s most loyal sup
porters throughout his distinguished
career.
It is the intention of Judge Spence
to wage an active campaign, begin
ning as soon as the spring terms of
the courts of his circuit shall have
been held, which will be about June
15 next. In the meantime, and at an
early date, he will most likely issue
to the people 'of the district a letter
formally announcing his candidacy and
the principles for which he will stand.

JUDGE MARK NEUMAN
DEAD AT AGE OF 79.
Was Prominent Citizen of Sandersville
and Had Many Relatives in Albany.
A telegram received in thiB city this
morning brought the sad intelligence
of the death at his home in Sanders
ville of Judge Mark Neuman, one of
the best known residents of Middle
Georgia, and for thirty years ordinary
of Washington county.
Judge Neuman was 79 years of age.
He was well known in Albany, where
he had frequently visited. The mother
of Messrs. S. B. Brown and David
Brown and Mrs. D. Neuman, and the
mother of Dr. Hugo Robinson, were
sisters of Judge Neuman, and these
residents of Albany are, therefore, the
nephews and niece of the deceased,
-Judge Neuman was known through
out the state as a man of splendid
oharaeter. In the county where he
spent bo many years of his life he was
looked up to and admired in a manner
which was the highest possible tribute
to his great qualities of mind and
heart, and in his death he is mourned
by all classes. He was charitable al
most to a fault, and thousands who
had known his bounty will drop a tear
at his grave.
The. relatives of Judge Neuman In
Albany have the sympathy of the peo-‘
pie of this community in their sorrow.
The funera l-will occur at Sanders-
An exceedingly important meeting
of the Albany Business League will he
held tomorrow evening at the city
hall.
A matter which should appeal to
every Albanian will be. presented.
The opportunity is presented for Al
bany to secure a large manufactory,
and the matter is being handled
through the Business League. '
rae-presSHt owner of the large man
ufactory referred to is anxious to
come to Albany. He has investigated
conditions here, and finds that they
are all that could he desired. Investi
gations that have been made by the
Business League show furthermore
that the plant i? up to date, and that
its present owner is a thoroughly re
liable business man.
The plant will employ 500 hands. Its
removal'to Albany would mean an ad
dition of 2,000 to the population of
the city. The plant will pay a hand
some dividend on the Investment, and
will appeal to those who are careful
of the manner in which they invest
their savings.
It will be necessary, in order for Al
bany to secure this big enterprise, to
subscribe to a portion of the stock,
and this her business men and capi
talists should be prompt to do.
The whole matter will be presented
by the Business League at the meet
ing called for tomorrow night. Those
who are interested—and ail should he
embraced under that head—should at
tend the meeting.
Albany needs new manufacturing
enterprises.
Here is an opportunity to secure a
big one.
Let us not turn it down.
Will you attend the meeting?-
