TO MEET III
E JUNE 23-
T IN JULY:
And Howell Accepted Without Loss of Time—Date of Albany
Meeting to Be Agreed Upon Later.
Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 5. — Following the perfecting of arrangements for a joint debate in Atlanta Friday
night between Hon. Clark Howell and Hon. Hoke Smith, a challenge has been passed and accepted for two
other debates, one of which will take place at Rome and the other at Albany.
This morning Mr. Smith sent Mr. Howell a challenge for the two debates to follow Friday night’s meet
ing. It was stipulated that the first should take place at Rome on June 23, the other occurring at Albany be
tween July 7 and August 1, the exact date to be agreed upon and announced later.
Mr. Howell immediately accepted the challenge.
It is understood that at Rome Mr. Howell shall have the opening and concluding argument, Mr. Smith
being extended the same privilege at Albany. \ .
In selecting Rome and Albany as the palces for the two debates to follow the meeting in Atlanta, recog
nition is given two widely separated sections of the state. It is not doubted that thousands of voters will hear
both debates, flocking to the cities selected from miles around.
At Albany, the meeting will in all probability be held in the Chautauqua Auditorium, the largest building
of its kind in the lower section of the state.

Savannah, June 6.—Col. J. H.
candidate for governor, returned to
Savannah this morning after a cam
paigning tour through Southwest
Georgia. Colonel Hstlll Is looking
well. He does not Beem to be fatigued
because of the systematic canvass
that he Is making for the highest of
fice In the gift of GeoVglans, and his
bearing shows that he is muoh encour
aged with the progress of the cam
paign. He was the last of the four
candidates now before the people to
formally enter the race, and he has
given considerable thought to the
route by which he will traverse the
state. He Is going over Georgia-thor
oughly.
"I could scarcely be more pleased
with my trip,” he said to your repre
sentative this morning. ‘‘I have met
people In almost every section of the
state and have been received with
even more kindness and enthusiasm
than I was four yearB ago. The peo
ple of Georgia are not going to sub
scribe to the doctrine that all men in
power are in league with unlawful
combinations and that the negro Is
politically the state-B greatest menace.
When the Democrats come to settle
thlB gubernatorial question In August
they will do It sanely and will dot he
carried away with the Idea that -tho
country is going to the eternal Bo
wows unless the state Is snatched
from the burning. I have visited sec
tions of the state on this trip that I
have not been In for some time hefori
and to say that I have been encou
aged Is to put It mildly. I have i
felt more sure of nomination
time- than right now, and I
that i. am gaining strength ever.
, Col. Estlll was interested in' tl
Friday night, but he declined to
cuss the matter at all.<
EARTHQUAKE SHQC

FI
For the Ultimate Extension
of Electric Railway to Al
bany After Completion to
Macon.
Big enterprises move slowly, and
each step in their development Is
taken carefully, ’ after ' due delibera
tion.
It Is therefore of Interest to Alban
ians to know that there has been fur
ther encouraging development in the
proposed building of an electric car
line from.Macon to Albany, the line
being an extension of the one already
projected from Atlanta to Macon, and
Its coming Into this section following
the development of the Flint river
water power.
As stated In The Herald recently,
there is power In the Flint just above
Albany estimated at 60,000 horse.
This tremendous energy Is stored be
tween Albany and Warwick, It being
estimated that a dam just above the
mouth of Muckafoonee creek would
alone develop 12,000 to l£,000 horse
power.
The Albany Business League,
through Secretary Betjeman, has re
ceived a letter from one of the chief
promoters of the electric line, and the
statement is made by the writer that
the matter will be taken up with the
serious view to carrying through the
extension of the line to Albany as
soon as It reaches Macon from At
lanta.
From what has recently been made
public, there appears little doubt that
the Atlanta-Macon line will at no dls
tant date become an accomplished
fact, and little time will then be lost
In getting to work on that end of the
big enterprise In which Albany Is
principally Interested.
Certain It is that the Flint river
power Is too Inviting a proposition to
be very long neglected, now that this
section Is developing bo rapidly.
