Talk About the St. Louis Delegation -What the Prohibitionists Prcposc to Do-— Rich Times Expected Correspondence Enquirer tjon Atlanta, May 4.—It is understood that the friends of Co'.- Hoko Smith will present his name for the posi tiou of ctmirman of the state demo eratic convention, which meets Wed nesday. The names of Hon. W. R. Rankin of Gordon, and Hon. A. L. Miller of Houston, have already been suggested; but the indications are that they will not offer. There, is considerable talk here over putting Senat<r Colquitt at the head of the delegation sent to St. Louis, and if he will agree to serve, the convention will no doubt confer the honor on him. It is a settled fact that Col. Jack J, Spalding of Fulton, and Emmet Womack of Newton, will be the dele gales from the Fifth district. Newton baa endorsed Mr. Worn ack and Fulton has agreed upon Mr. Spalding as the proper person to re present this district. The action of Fulton in endorsing Congressman Stewart virtually re moves any opposition to his renomi nation. It is known here that ex Governor McDaniel has been feeling to see what his chances were to de feat Congressman Stewart by captor ing the vote of Fulton county and one or two other counties, but it is well nigh settled that Congressman Stewart will have no trouble in se curing Fulton's vote. Two years from this fall, however, Judge Stew art will have plenty of opposition, among whom will bo Capt. Harry Jackson and John B. Goodwin. Both of thes gentlemen, it is stated, will enter the field for Congress at that time. Capt. Jackson will offer for the house from Fulton this fall, and if elected he will oppose Hon. A. S. Clay of Cobb, for speaker. His friends think if he can be elected speaker, his chances for congress would be greatly improved. There is a great deal of political talk in the air. The most interest ing race in Fulton county will be that for the legislature-. Two full tickets are expected to be put in the field. The prohibition! v.s nave an nonnet d that they are going to force the question of state prohibitory law into the race. They virtually admit that they are done with local option, and that by a state law they propose to wipe the liquor ont of Georgi i. Whether they will let the people vote upon the state law they have not decided, but lh» temperance association next week will determine the matter. The probabilities are that they will even oppose a submis siou of the law to the people for rati fication. The light will be a strong one. Tne ticket that will receive the anti prohibition support, will be opposed to a state law, and iD tavor of allow ing the local option law to stand. A number of prohibitionists will stand with them in this, but the rank and stands! For senator, George Hil yer; for representatives, Dr. J, O. Perkins. \V. T. Turnbull, and Philip Dodd. Perkins belongs to the third parry, and was defeated for thelegis latuM (wo years ago. by over 2.700 , votes.

Trade (Juiet--Judge Harp, of the Jackson News, Answered; SpeeLl to the Nn« - McDonough. Ga., May J.— Our merchants are enjoying themselves sittiug out in front of their stores looking at the boya play ball, and thinking of the tine trade McDonough is going to have this fall, and we al ways have it. It is getting about time for catidi dates to 1 button-hole” the dear peo pie. Commenting upon my remarks in a recent issue of the News, Judge Harp, J. 1*., of the Jackson News, says: •‘Tho McDonough coiiespondent to tho Griffin News, guys that Judge Dickeu, of that place, has been etn ployed to get Shaw out of jail on bond. Are such cases bailable’ I am surprised at his ignorance and although I am not a lawyer by any means, I am sufficiently posted to inform him on this question. If he will turn to section 4747 of the Code of Georgia he will find that ‘•Capital offenses are bailable only before a Judge of the Superior Court, and i?, in every case, a matter of sound discretion. All other cases are bailable by the committing court. Excessive bail shall never be do rnanded ’’ Editor Ilarp ought to have known this. Besides, a lawyer like Judge Dickon would not under take to se ure tho release of a p: ison er on Iwi! \v > ;!.-• law says his case is not bailable. For the itrforma tion i f Judge Hrrp " e think wo haz • ard nothin;; in saying Mr. Shaw will be out on bond in a few weeks. •Jamis *akiM c POWDER Absolutely Pure. This fowder never varies.
