C., Feb. 18— Georgia political prophets in Washington who were predicting a month ago that the 'coming elections in the state would be the quietest in years have utter ly reversed their forecasts since the death of Senator Bacon. The majority of them believe that on the contrary the senatorial races will be the hottest Georgia has had in years. Statements heretofore that Senator Hoke Smith would not have opposition for re-election; that Gov. John M. Slaton would take a second term as governor without a contest, and that for mer Gov. Joseph • M. Brown remain in retirement in Marietta have been recalled in the most positive terms. Opinion now has it that Senator Smith will be op posed; that Gov. Slaton and for mer Gov. Jospph M. Brown will run for the Senate and that, the governorship is something about which no man dare predict All predictions just now hang on the action of Gov. Slaton in appointing a man to fill the va cancy until next October. Prob abilities have been harrowed down by forecasters this far away to two, either Editor Clark Howell will be named or the ap pointee will be a man from South Georgia, Col. W. S. West, Ran dolph Anderson, three or four, from Savannah and otheis have been mentioned. If Clark Howell is named Gov. Slaton will gain the Support of one big morning newspaper, in all probability a second and pos sibly a third. He will have risk ed keen dissatisfaction in South Georgia, which has lost its sena tor and has not had a governor since the memory of its oldest inhabitant. "War” might be averted by selecting a candidate tor governor from that section. The danger would be the entry of Representative Hardwick into the senatorial race as a South Georgia candidate. It is believed that no matter how the situation turns out Mr. Hardwick will be a candidate.. The report here is that.he is "considering” it. Some of the members of the delegation put him. down as being sure to run. Will Celebrate Washington’s Birthday Thursday, Feb. 26, beginning at 7 o’clock, Chason school will give a Washington program fol lowed by’ a supper. Oysters and ambrosia will be served in one room, and we will also have fruits and boxes to sell. Come and tell your friends and we will certainly give you a warm welcome. I. C. VEEN FOR 0. S. SENATE We see that the Moultrie and other people of Southeast Ga., towns are urging Gov. Sla ton to appoint Hon., W. C. Ve- reon to fill the ad interium term of Senator Bacon. As Atlanta has one U. S. Sen ator. Had Hon. J. M. Terrell as senator for awhile, has the Governor and several Appellate and Supreme court judges, we think South Ga. should be con sidered. especially when a man of the character and qualifica tions of W. C. Vereen is pre sented.- n-'Si NO. 29 Low Pricfc on Pecan Trees. 0 In order to clear one of my nurseries of trees, I offer for the remainder of this season these trees without selection, of size or variety at the remarkably low price of TWENTY-FIVE CENTS per tree.

S. Wight; President WH Searcy, Vice President & Cashier H. G. Cannon, - Vice President L TWELVE GOOD REASONS Those who have known him the longest and the best endorse his candi lacy. This alone is proof sufficent he is worthy of the support of ALL the people. He will make Grady County a Genuine Sheriff. I He will give the office a Business Like Administration. The Sheriff should keep accurate books of accounts t< uching the many sums of money belonging to others that pass through his hands. Cars? can and will do it. Hundreds and hundreds of important papers are handled by the Sheriff every year. When you ask to see one in which you are interested the Sheriff should know just where to lay his hands on it. Carr will do it ^without having you wait. That is the way he takes care of things. “He will have a place for everything, and have everything in its place." .He will be courteous to all alike, and will live up to his oath and to the Trust of the people. To him a man is a man; and the rich will get no favors overs the poor. He is not the candidate of any “Ring” or “Click’’ and no personal or political influence of any man or set will lead him around if he is elected. He will be the officer of all the people in truth as well as in name. A majority of the people in his District, in writing, requested him tp run, before he annouced. They ought to know whether he i s worthy or not. n 11 A few of those who oppose him and who know him but slightly, claim that he is over-bearing, but those who know him best, say that he makes a negro know his place, and that is all there is to the “over-bearing’’ claim. 12 Bill Carr is a man of 50 years of age, and no one that knows him says any harm of him. He must, therefore, be all right. For the foregoing reasons his neighbors and his friends throughout the County appeal to you to support him-TRY HIM. ^ | (SidNED) Neighbors and Friends. efgl
