Hoke Smith has announced his candidacy for governor of Georgia. This means that the Joe Brown and Hoke Smith fight for the governorship must be fought over again in Georgia. “I will be in the race for gov ernor,” is the statement Mr. Smith made to a number ot newspaper reporters last Thurs day afternoon. It was brief and to the point, and sets at rest the question which almost every man in Georgia has been asking for some time past. Mr. H. H. Perry, of Gaines ville, who announced lor gover nor several weeks ago on tho Hcke Smith platform, has with drawn from the race and will support Mr. Smith. It was evidently Mr. Smith’s intention to issue a tormal an nouncement of his candidacy, but the hour was late and such documents are not easily hurried. So he merely opened the door into his private office, walking into the library and saying to the newspaper men : / “You may say that I will be in the race for governor this year. Now, that’s all I want to say iust now.” Mr. Smith’s appearance in the supreme court Monday morning marks his temporary retirement as a lawyer tor some time. It is his purpose to lay aside the prac tice of law until alter the primary. In the meantime he will devote himself to the conduct of his campaign. It is not improbable that the lormer governor will manage his own campaign with the assistance and advice ot a committee from different parts of the state. Concerning Attorney General Hart’s candidacy, it has been the subject of comment that every one ot the seven counties ot the Ocmulgee circuit, over which Judge Hart formerly presided have always been loyal to former Governor Smith. In his first campaign he rolled up over, whelming majorities in Green, Morgan, Jasper, Jones, Wilkin son, Baldwin and Laurens. In his second campaign he carried each of these counties by sub ■ stantial majorities. Judge Hart’s candidacy will not affect former Governor Smith’s plans at all, it is claimed, nor is it believed by his friends that it will affect Mr. Smith’s strength. It is stated by those in a position to know that the entrance of the third candidate has tended only to increase the zeal of the Smith forces and the candidate himself. All necessary preliminaries to the organization ot the new rail road company having been com. pleted, the stockholders met last Monday and organized under a very liberal charter procured several years ago. A board of directors composed of C H Stewart, C M Tanner, C E Roop, C B Simonton and A K Snead were elected and the board has complete power and authority to act for the company. Since perfecting the organiza tion this board of directors have gone over the proposed route in autos, and visited several towns through which the new line will probably run. At Temple the board was em thusiastically received and the people of this little city are using all efforts to puil the road in their direction. At Villa Rica the visitors made known the ob ject of their trip and the people of this little city are highly in favor of the project and are anx- ious to participate. The party passed through Douglasville which city is equally alive to the project and her people lost no time in demonstrating the fact. From Douglasville the party proceeded to Powder Springs where they were heartily re. ceived and assured ot the full co-operation of this place. The board was highly pleased with the splendid progressive spirit displayed at each place and are confident of an early location ot the route. It was a wise selection on the part of the company in placing its interests in the hands of the gentlemen composing this board. They are all practical business men and the company’s interests could not he in oetter hands, and it may be safely said all arrange ments will soon be completed lor the new road, which means a new era of prosperity for the people ot the splendid territory opened up, the terminus of which will probably be Marietta.

Automobile Bill Passed by Senate The senate yesterday passed a bill to require the annual regis, tration ot all automobiles in this state with the secretary of state. Upon being registered and the fee of $2 paid, each applicant who complies with the law will be furnished with a number. It is made unlawful to operate machine on the public roads without this number being car ried in plain view. An amendment added to the Slaton bill by the senate com mittee required the proceeds of the $2 tax to be paid into the education fund. The bill limits the speed at which machines may be operated to 25 miles an hour ; makes it il legal for any person under 16 10 operate a machine on the public highway ; requires lights to be shown from sundown to sunrise when the machine is in operat tion; requires autoists to stop when signaled to do so by any driver of a draft animal; says no intoxicared person may operate a machine; makes violaiions punishable as for a misdemeanor ; and provides that the act shall go into effect sixty days after its passage.
