JOSEPH M. TERRELL IS NAMED U. S. SENATOR. Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 19. —Sena- tor Joseph M. Terrell was the recipient of countless congratu lations and good wishes yester day on his appointment to the United States senate to succeed Mr. Clay. The telephone in his office in the JDnglish-Ameriean building was constantly ringing, and friends from Atlanta and others from over the state who were in Atlanta, assured him of their good wishes. In the hundreds of telegrams and letters which reached him were numbers of messages from meuvbers of the newly-elected legislature assuring him that they would be found in the trenches fighting for him, if there was a contest before the legislature next e mm me r. These pledges of support cairn voluntarily, he said, Irotn both Brown and Smith men, and he was naturally delighted at thus early having his friends rally to his support. Among the com munications were a number from meu who supported Mr. Smith in three campaigns, who said that they would be for Mr. Terrell for senator, though they were frank for Mr. Smith for governor. Mr. Terrell stated that he expect ed to abide by the dictum of the ; Atlanta platform, which declared for primary elections for public officers. “1 am in the fight for the re mainder of the term of Senator Clay, whatever direction the con test takes” said Senator Terrell,, 5 but I naturally assume that the present state executive committee will carry out the mandate of the Atlanta platform, which reiter ated the declaration in the Macon platform of 190tl, calling for a primary vote for United States senator.” If a primary for senator is! called, as has been intimated, the legislature, when it meets next summer, will have nothing to do but record the verdict of the people in that primary. Other-, wise the legislature will take up the question de novo and select the junior senator from Georgia to serve until March 8, 1915. Senator Terrell, in explaining way he looked for a primary to j be culled, said: “The convention which met in Atlanta September first to nomi nate Mr. Smith for governor, adopted a plank which was very similar to that in the Macon platform. In the latter plat-, iorm, adopted September 4, 1900, it was said : “ ‘ We, the representatives of the democracy of Georgia, in con vention assembled, therefore do row resolve and declare as fol lows: “We declare it to be the policy of the democratic party of Georgia that hereafter all primary elections for United States senator, state house offi w i cers, supreme court judge and appellate court judges, should such latter court be created, shall be by direct popular vote Tin candidate who, upon the consoli dation of the vote throughout the entire state, receives a majority of all the votes cu«t, shall be de clared the nominee of the party for that office etc.’ ” “The Atlanta platform, adopted on September first last, says: ‘We felicitate the people Georgia upon the fact that many of the principles of the Macon platform, adopted September 4, 1906 have alteady been enacted into law, and under the wise operation of these laws, the state has pros pered to an unprecedented extent . . . . We urge the impor tance of selecting by direct vote of the people, the nominees for public office, and we condemn all methods which make it possible for such selection to be made by convention vote, instead of by vote of the people.’ “Under this mandate” I pre sume the state executive com mittee named at that convention will call a primary some time within the next seven months for the selection of a senator.” Senator Terrell announced de finitely that he will not name a private secretary for the approach i ing session of congress. He will | defer that until later, and con sider in the meantime, the various applications and suggestions made to him of a vice senator. He will take to Washington with him this winter B. A. Lov vorn. formerly of Carroll county, who has been his clerk for several years; and J. G. Perry of Mitchell county, who was for a number of years private secretary to Rep sentative James M. Griggs, of ! the second Georgia district. Mr. ■ Perry was one of the secretaries at the Joseph M. Brown head quarters during the recent state campaign, and did effective work for the present governor. TERRELL WANTS PRIMARY TO ELECT U. S, SENATOR" Atlanta, Nov. 21.—1 tis hardly probable that a state primary will be culled to elect a senator to succeed the late A. S. Clay. In an interview published Saturday morning Senator Terrell, newly appointed for the interim, says he expects the state executive com mittee to carry out the mandate of the Atlanta platform calling' for a direct primary for senator, | tho he feels confident he would be elected by the general assembly in case that method is used. Politicians friendly to Hoke Smith maintain there is no precedent for a special primary in such a case, and point out that the apparent Smith majority in the assembly would naturally cause a desire by the Terrell con stituency for a primary. They point out further that as the state Democratic executive com mittee is solidly a Hoke Smith body it. can hardly be expected to call a primary which would force] Mr. Smith to make a race before j the people for what they consider already won before the legislature. The mention of Congressman Hardwick’s name as a candidate before the legislature keeps bob bing up, tho it is believed certain that Mr. Hardwick would not offer for a position acceptable to ] Hoke Smith, a warm friend Some of Mr. Smith’s other friends j intimate that an effort is being made to drag a third candidate into the contest before the legis lature in order to create a possi ble deadlock. Senator Terrell says he will n >t name a secretary for the approach ing congress. B. A. Lovvoru, who has been his clerk for several j years, will accompany him to | Washington, as will J. G. Perry, j former secretary of the late Con gressman James M. Griggs. ->> TEACHERS 5 INSTITUTE. All teachers of Montgomery county are cordially invited to be at Mt.

The Telegraph on yesterday purchas ed from Miss Amelia Horne, their ! former quarters, the lot and building at]4s2 Cherry street, and immediately put under way the plan of rebuilding. It is in tended that a splendid modern newspaper office shall be erected at once. The plans call for a marble front, designed to properly show off the newspaper’s ownership, and the two floors will be fitted up with commodious and well lighted offices for the business and news departments. The lot is 210 feet deep, and in the rear of this lot there will be erected a strictly tire-proof building especially for the me chanical departments of the pa per. In this fire-proof annex will be arranged all of the ma chines, presses and composing and mailing rooms, and every effort will be made to completely remove the possibility of a lire. Massive brick ]walls wall form' the outer guard, while the in terior such as the floors, etc., will be of steel and concrete. This fire-proof annex wili be 38x 100 feet, two stories high, and will be detached from the front office building. Suggestion has been made that a high building should be erect ed on this lot for newspaper purposes; but experience teaches that newspaper buildings best serve where they are confined to as few floors as possible. It was with this special view that The, Telegraph management saw to j it that the lot on which the per manent home was to be erected was ample for all accommoda tions to be had on two floors. A large four-deck Goss press, equipped with color schemes, costing $25,000, has been pur chased, and yesterday a drawing of the machine was received, showing how it will look when finished. The manufacturers re ceived the order for this machine immediately after the lire, and they placed a double force on the work of erecting it, and expect to have it ready by the time the i building is putin readiness to re ceive it. The picture has been hung in the front windows of The Telegraph business office for pub lic inspection, this to suffice un til the real article can arrive and be put into operation and the house opened to The Telegraph’s thousands of friends who have shown so much interest and sym pathy during her trial'by fire. The composing room is about i complete, having been installed in the News building until the new building for The Telegraph can be erected, and until that time The Telegraph yvi 11 use the press of the News. Six M<-r --genthaler linotypes, new and fresh from the factory, have been received, and are now getting out The Telegraph, and an enormous equipment of the newest advertising type and ma terial has been put in. It is hoped that within the next three months The Telegraph shall be able to open the doors of her new building to the public, and besides having a house warming, to show them through the finest newspaper office and plant in the southern states.
