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.

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."

Investigate and satisfy yourself. Manager, Box 368, 3t Macon, Ga, About Murig nase- Dalton _ 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. < The Weather Calendar That Pre dicted the Galveston Storm.
