Rev. Jack Thompson, who presided
aa chairman, took Issue with one of
the speakers for criticising Hoke
Bmith and took the stand in behalf
of the governor.
At Beach today there Is a pretty
good indication of the change in sen<
timent toward the governor since the
primary of two years. At thal time,
the Bickley precinct, in which there
are Beach aud Sweats, together polled
118 votes for Hoke 8mltb, 7 for Ea-
till and none for any other~€Slfdldate.
Mr. 8mith's strongest supporters in
that precinct two years a$o are now
against him, and thece is, little douhQ
but that Joe Brown will get a majority
there on June 4.

Camels walk backward and root like

Mother hen will sing her young ones
to sleep on her knees,
The moon will shine In the bright
daylight,
And snow birds aing on a summer's
night. *
Is Smith re-elected, or am 1 in a

I tee millionaires wearing patches
In the knees of their pants.
Oh Joy! I’ve awakened, I was In a

For Hoke Smith can’t be governor
Not even by chance.

writing from Sofia of the present con

Tho behavior of the Turkish troops to

of improvement, although outrages on
an extensive scale are less frequefit
than formerly. The troopa, for whose
malntainance the Macedonian treas

not In tbe arduous pursuit of the Insur

ty of searching the villages for arms
and exacting ransom from tbe peas

the utmost farthing for the support
of these inefficient protestors, and

tee of Chatham county will undo its
recent act which provided that no
‘ single shot” ticket should be count
ed in the state primary. The decision
or the committee was that where there
were three candidates to be voted for,
as In the case of those running for the
legislature, or five as In the case of
those running for county commissioner
unless n ballot was cast for three or
five candidates aa the case might be
the ballot should be thrown out. This
was to prevent the friends of some of
tbe candidates singling them out ana
scratching all their opponents.' A few
mndred “single shots" It will be seen
would be a great help to n candidate.
Aa soon aa It became known that this
action had been taken there*was a
cry from all sections of the city for
its repeal. The President of the Hoke
