HEMPHILL FOR GOVERNOR.
T
It is Rumored That He May Be In
the Race.
Atlanta, Jan. 4. —Col. W. A.
Hemphill, president of the Consti-.
tution Publishing company, was
today added to the list of aspirants
tor the office of governor of Geor
gia.
Rumor became current today
that lie had concluded to announce
himself a candidate and make a
drive for the gubernatorial chair.
The rumor gained circulation rap
idly and soon became common
gossip.
Col. Hemphill denied the rumor,
but admitted that the matter had
been discussed by his friends, and,
further, that he is now being urged
by some of the most prominent
citizens of the state to become a
candidate.
He said: “I have many influen
tial friends throughout the state
who are desirous that I become a
candidate for governor of Georgia,
and they have started the gossip, I
presume. While I realize the hon
or attached to such an office, I am
too busy at present to give the mat
ter serious consideration, and, bed
sides, think it a little too early, as
the election is two years off. Ido
not know 7 what may happen, but
can say that I am certainly not a
candidate now. I have ray hands
full as it is. As to Mr. Clark
Howell’s position in the matter, I
am not informed, but in the event
that he should want to enter the
race for the office, I shall not be in
his way nor would he be in mine.”
NEW WAREHOUSE.
Messrs, Field & Son Will Erect Big
Structure.
Messrs. J. E. Field & Son are
arranging for the early construc
tion of a mammoth brick cotton
warehouse on tke lot corner of
Leake street and the W. & A.
railroad that used to be owned by
Maj. A. M. Foute.
The warehouse will be 120 feet
and will be built in two sec
tions, each independent of the oth
er and separated by fire wall so
that in case of fire the contents of
at least one of the sides would be
safe from the flames: *
The w'alls will be of brick with
stone an’d gravel roof.
The cotton Irtiftihess of Carters

an increased demand for storage

likely to receive a ,;gxx>d patronage^

right man for the right place.”
“How much am I worth? Ask
my wife.”
“Most men talk too much. Much
of my success has been due to

Fruit Trees in Georgia,
Macon Telegraph.
Two million fruit trees will have
been planted in Georgia by March
1. State Entomologist Scott said
this morning that fruit growers
w T ere busy setting out new trees,
and would engage in this work
until March 1.
According to Mr. Scott, nearly
every nurseiy in the country . has
sold out of trees, and it is impos
sible to secure any of the standard
varieties.- Mr. Scott announced,
early in the fall that he thought
one million trees would be planted,
but since that time so many or.
ders have been placed for young
trees and the growers have planted
so many, he has raised his estimate
to two millions. .
Mr, Scott says that the trees
cost on an average of S3O per
thousand, and that the. cost of set-,
ting them out also amounts to
about S3O per thousand. Within
three years each.of
ed will be wor-tii sl.
A majority' of ’the trees' have
been set out; itk porth Georgia.
The people of ndth* Georgia real
ized more mpney last year from
fruit than tht people of middle
and south Georgia, there
by spurred on to great#*efforts."
Entomologist Scott reports all <ol
the orchards of Georgia - in first--
class condition, and predicts a suc
cessful fruit season for the coming
year. • 1 ‘ *

Victor Smith, a son of Major
Chas, H. Smith, of Cattersville,
and a gifted member of the editor
ial stall of the New York Press, is
now in Georgia Tn a recent let
ter toi his paper, from Somers’ Hill,
he says in part: "T am disappoint
ed to learn that the Georgia man
ganese mines are not being worked
for all they are worth, while as
for iron ore—well it is rotting in
the ground. It is pretty hard for a
person to stroll through the hills
of North Georgia without putting
his foot on a manganese pocket at
every step, yet ten of the mines
are in operation. Freight rates
are sad to be the cause of this.
Andrew Carnegie gets all his man
ganese from India, and the freight
is lower from Calcutta to Pittsburg
than from Bartow countv to Pitts
burg, Think of it! Mr. Kelly,
southern representative of the Car-,
negfe company is authority for
this statement, and lie ought to
know.” If this be true, that rail
roads are preventing the develop
ment of Georgia, the raiPoad com
mission should**look into the mat
ter. Georgia should not be placed
where it cannot compete witli India
simply because of heavy freight
rates. <
