Saep- art!, senator-elect from the Thlr- . teenth district, for Che presidency oi ,he next Georgia senate, is making .:x-:i t headway, in all parts of toe state 'friends of Col. Sheppard aro zealously at work in his behalf, as- /juranccs of support have been r;- , reived from a number of sources, and -■ he outlook grows more promising ev- • cry day. The candidacy of Col. Sheppard ap peals with particular force to the . .treat belt of country generally re- :■ >:jo>d to as South Georgia, the section ■ ;ij•!!, has moved forward with such east strides in recent years, and which at some not distant day wni awake to its power and assume a dom- -nent position in Georgia's political af fairs. Every day brings letters to the Sumter candidate from influential men in various counties of thtis section, - expressing their intention to do all in their power to promote his candidacy. “it is time South Georgia asserted itself in a political way more than It . has done in the past,” said one oi these corresjiondents, in a letter re ceived yesterday. “North Georgia has bad the two iast presidents of the rscnate, and it is time for the honor to - come to South Georgia. For this rea- t son I will support you." Slaton, of Atlanta, and Aiken, of Car ters viilt, were the two last presiding offloers of the senate. As the writer of the letter referred to says, it is time now for South Georgia to have • the naming of the man. Speaking of this feature of the can didacy of Col. Sheppard, a local friend of that gentleman yesterday said that ne did not believe that in the last thir ty years South Georgia had had. the presidency of the sen*tc over about three or four times. ■'.'The next administration will have « a'governor from North Georgia,” cou rt: aimed ;he. “The two candidates for =-t speaker of the house, Holder, of Jack son, and Burwell, of Hancock, are ' from North Georgia, and Slaton, the candidate opposing Sheppard, hails from Atlanta. This 1s somewhat of a hogging of thie honors that SoutrGeor- ■: pgia-would be justified in resenting. But ..aside from territorial considerations, bSnmtor and South Georgia’s candidate dBiaman who will fill the position wiir ■credit to the entire state, and he should have the solid backing of all of the .-counties south of a line from Au- rgusia to Columbus.” Col. Sheppard is not seeking on’? .South Georgia votes, though. Several crates me already assured him from '"btonh Georgia and he Is placing hl» 1 candidacy squarely before every sen ator-elect in the state. As stated, the 'letters that are coming to him from ■ All sections are highly encouraging .in their character and with a year ' before him in which to work up his • - •sandidney there is every reason to be lieve that this section will carry off the prize when the next legislature as sembles. Assurances of support are coming from bath Smith and Brown men. Es pecially is this true of Smith Georgia, ■vrere the feeling is running high than ever that North Georgia Im suc ceeded in eudhreing South Georgia ■ mt of all political honors in the pas: by encouraging factional differences in this section khile it coolly appro- . .: eiriated everything in sight.
