In ail the reports received by the governor there is not one indicating any nota ble loss from his ranks, while from nearly every county comes reports that prominent me n who have for merly been for Smith will stand for Brown this year. The folowtng are a few excerpts from communications received dur- the past two days: Colquitt County—although I am sorry that ho (Mr. Smith) finally de cided lo make the race, for business will almost be suspended all over the state for the next sixty days, but 1 feel sure that he will be beaten worse than two years ago. I have heard a good many here i'n tflPfty today say that he would be boated and some of them were (or him two ycare ago, and one in particular who signed the petition from here sometime ago aoK Ing him to run.

A' small tffwn l n Caroll county— Thla Is a small place and then are only 30 votes pnd you will gat It of them, 1 think, ln the lost election you get 8 and Smith 21. Troup county—It looks'now aa It Troup Intends to quit sinking and re turn to her father's house. There seems to be no enthusiasm among tfe Hoke Smith men, nearly all of them regret that he has consented to make the race.

It goes without saying that I and your other friends here will aupport you in thla campaign. Today, with out any affort to secure such Infor mation, I learned that four prominent men who were strong for Smith In the 1908 campaign, have declared their Intention to wte for Drown this year, and there arflktbers. Houston v^tjl surely go for Brawn, From a- former JJoh* Smith man (a prominent Booth Georgia drum mer)—I nets that you will have op position for a second term. If I can ha of any service to you command I er here than y:u were two-years ago. I have Inquired around and find that Smith lms loat some of bis most act ive supporters. Ujwln county—l think that we will carry Irwin county this time, ns ail of your friends in thla section arc lin ing up In good shape. Wilkes county—Mr. Smith does not seem to realise that he wna defeated before, anil It will ho necessary to convince him with a still more crush ing defeat.
