, Hot Race for Judge Is on Between Judge
Hutchins and Col. Russell. '
There is no political race in Georgia
just now that is arousing moreSiiterest
than the race for judge of the western
circuit.
Judge N. L. Hutchins, who has filled
that position with great ability for six
teen years, is a candidate for re-election
at the hands of the general assembly at
its session this fall. His friends, and
they are legion, are confident that he
will make the landing safely.
Opposed to Judge Hutchins is Hon.
Richard B. Russell, of Winder, Jad&son
county. Mr. Russell formerly lived in
Clarke county and represented this
county several terms in the legislature.
He also served two terms as solicitor
meral of the western circuit. Mr.
Russell is a young man of rare ability
and has made the present race with
great vigor. His friends are banking
confidently on his election.
The race-between Judge Hutchins and
Mr. Russell will be close and exeitiug.
Troops Take a Chinese Town in Sight of a
British Gunboat.
London, Oct. 20.—A dispatch from
Shanghai to a London news agency
says:
A Russian regiment occupied the
town of New Chwan, province of Liao
Tong, and the forts at the month of the
river Liaon on Oct. 15th, thus securing
complete possession New Chwan. The
native troops fled without making any
opposition, under orders from the em
press dowager and Li Hang Chang.
A British gunboat was in the riv< r
at the time. Its non-resistance is re
garded as the virtual British abandon
ment of the whole of Manchuria to the
Russians and gives Russia an invaluable
strategic position. Great Britain is cer
taiu to lose the New Chwan trade, of
which it has 80 per cent.”

War Liable to Br^ak Out at Any Moment.
Paris, Oct. 20.—The wa* preparations
of France are the absorbing subject of
discussion here at present. According
to the French papers, there were impor
tant naval experiments at Tonlon last
evening. A flotilla of torpedo boats
were detailed to make an endeavor to
force the entrance of the harbor and the
whole garrison was called to arms and
the forts'hnd batteries were manned
ready for instant action. The result
the experiment has not been made pah

Vice Admiral Barrera presided yester
day at a secret council of war at Brest,
in which the chiefs of the maritime
forces took part. Confidential orders
were subsequently issned to the garrison
The Anrore asserts that five classes

been ordered to hold themselves in read

Washington, Oct. 20.—Secretary

States on leave of gbsence.
It is expected that Rear Admiral Schley
will return from Porto Rico on a mer

wanted at St. Thomas to make an in

has been connected with the succession
to Rear Admiral Bunce as commandant
of the Brooklyn navy yard, bnt it is not
at all certain that he will have this as

probability and all of them will he here
by Nov. 10th if the camps are in readi
ness for use by that time.
The division will require one large
building in the. city for commissionary
stores and another for the quartermas
ter’s department. Then there will have
to be several large rooms in the central
portion of the city for the use of provost
gnard, as General Randall is that kind
of an officer who will insist on goed
order being preserved by the soldiers in
the division under his command.
There will be needed by the camp at
least one million feet of lumber and it
will be bonght right here in Athens, if
the lumber dealers give the right kind
of figures. Wood will be used for fuel
and hundreds of cords will be required.
It will be the policy of the govern
ment to buy everything needed right
here in Athens if our people do any
thing, like meeting competition, which
of course they will he able to do.
General Randall is a veteran of the
civil war and is from Illinois. He has a
most soldierly bearing and in conversa
tion is most pleasant and genial. He
has a splendid reputation in military
circles and will make a most admirable
commanding general of the division of
the army located here.
Lieut. Jones is a talented yonng
military man and has already made
friends here since his arrival.
The other officers of the division staff
are expected to arrive inside the next
few days.
Mayor Smith and Chairman Rucker,
cf tho city council will at once proceed
to start the work on the water mains
that are to be laid to the camp.
The six-inch main will probably
branch from Cobb street near Mr. A. H.
Hodgson’s residence and be carried
through his property into the camp.
Supt. Flanigen, of the Electric Rail
way, says that the lights can he put on
the grounds in a few days.
By the time the soldiers arrive here
the camps will be in readiness for them.
