tral and G. S. & F.
Special to The Herald. «
Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—After hold
ing oft tor a long time, the Central of
Georgia and the G. S. & F. railroads

tion throughout the country, and It Is
generally believed among railroad of
ficials that the two roads will be ad
mitted. The matter will be decided
this week, and If granted, the roads
will issue the new books on July 1.
The Central, G. S. & F. and South

making the system complete through
out the South.
Considerable expense will be at
tached to the changing of the two
roads to the organized system, as all
outstanding mileage books will have
to be called in at once and new ones

next month.

Atlanta, Ga., June 15.—At a stormy
meeting of the executive committee
of the People’s Party, held yesterday
afternoon at the Kimball Hou^e, a
motion was adopted calling for a
state convention to meet in Atlanta
to place in the field a full ticket for
the Populists. The vote on the propo
sition was 7 to 3. The date is yet to
be selected, but it is thought that
July 4 will be the day selected for the
state convention. •
The meeting in its early stages was
purely one for Hoke Smith, several
speeches being made in his favor,
while the name of Clark Howell was
njot mentioned during the entire time
the committee was in session. The
minority were fighting for a state
ticket and were plainly displeased
with the way in which ihe sentiment
appeared to be flowing against such
a plan. In the end, however, their
plea for a state convention prevailed.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. In addition to the members of
the executive committee there were
present about thirty Populists from
various sections of the state.
