topic of conversation In Waycroae
•Ince the retirement of Hon. F. C. du-
IUgnon, ha* been on the gubernato
rial race. Our people are almost a
unit for Hon. W, O. Brantley for gov
ernor, if he will run. In the event of
hla resignation a* congressman of tho
eleventh congressional district, to
make the race, who would be ht* mie-
ccMor? Thl* question la being dla-
cumiod by our polltlcl&ni. Waycrosa
would be ready to furnish suitable
timber for a congre.-.-mun, and *ev-
oral Waycroas gentlemen have been
discussed by our people in connection
with the office. Judge J. L. Sweat
made a business trip to IIomervHle
yesterday to nnd that ho was promi
nently In the race to succeed Mr.
Brantley. Judge Sweat nay* today
that In the event that Mr. Brantley
resign* hi* seat to run for governor,
hu will be a candidate. He will go be

ATLANTA, July 20.-Comptrollcr-
General Wright received a letter to
day from the officer* of the Plant sys
tem of railroad* notifying him that
the company would not agree to the
Increase In the values of the property
of the system placed upon their returns
by the omptroller and that they wished
the matter to be referred to a board of
arbitration for settlement. Some weeks
ago the officer* of the Plant system
made an Itemised report of the prop-
rty of the company for taxation by
tbs state. The comptroller refused to
accept tho returns, stating that the
value* of some of tho Items were too
low.
He pointed out the defects as he saw
thorn, and Increased the figures of the
returns in u number of the items con
tained In the report. Nothing more of
a definite character was heard from
the officers of the company until to
day, when the comptroller received the
letter aa above referred to. In the let
ter It was also stated that Hon. Pope
Barrow of Savannah would represent
the Interests of the Plant system on
the board of arbitration. To represenC
the state the comptroller has appointed
Hon. Thomas C. Crenshaw, chairman
of the board of railroad commission
er*.
Lost year when the returns of the
property of tbl* system were arbitra
ted, the board consisted of Hon. Pope
Barrow, representing the Plant system,
Hon. Pope Brown, representing the
state, nnd later Judge Roger L. Gam
ble of Jefferson county was called In
to act as umpire. Tho substitution of
Col. Crenshaw for Col. Brown by the
comptroller this year was not the re
sult of any dissatisfaction In the re
sult* reached last year, but because of
the fart that tho comptroller was of
the opinion that It might be embarras
sing to Col, Brown to serve again under
changed condition of thing* relative to
Col, Brown’* candidacy for governor.

Judge W. J. Mathews, chairman of
the bonrd of county commissioners of
the county of Marion, was a visitor
at the cspltol this morning for the pur
pose of securing from Governor Candler
a requisition upon Governor Sayers of
Texas for Frank Kemp, a fugitive
from Justice, and bringing him back to
Georgia, At the fall term, 1893, of the
superior court of Marlon county Frank
Kemp and hi* brother. Tom Kemp,
were convicted of tho murder of John

ATLANTA,. July 20.—An impression
prevail* here that the same political
influences that would have backed Mr.
du&ignon for governor had he remained
In the race will now get behind Con
gressman Brantley and boom hi* can
didacy. In this way they hope to con
vince the people of the state of tbelr
sincerity In the matter of supporting
some distinctively south Georgian for
the office of governor of the state.
Among the accredited supporters of
Congressman Brantley should he de
termine to enter the race are Senator
Steve Clay, Judge George F. Gober,
Judge A. W. Fite, Solicitor Sam
Maddox, SoUcttor-General Tom Hutch
inson and Congressman Carter Tate.
When Governor Candler was asked
today If he kqew anything on this
line he said “No,’’ and he added: "If
anything like that was going on J
think that I would have been ono of
the first to know It. I have not seen
Senator Clay Mince the day before Mr,
duBIgnon’s letter declining to make
the race for governor was published.
Senator Clay was at that time still for
Mr. duBignon. I do not know who he
will be for now. However, Mr. Brant
ley Is a strong man and would make a
good governor. When I entered the
governor’s office I stated that I would
not attempt to dictate to the people of
Georgia who my successor should be,
and I am going to stand by what I said
at that time. I may of course have
my preferences as to who shall fill the
chair when I leave It, but I am not
going to dictate who the man shall be.
At the present time I do not know who
I shall favor for the office. It Is too
early yet to size up the situation.’’
Judge Turner stock seem* to be well
thought of here. Adjt.-Gen. Robertson
said today that he would like very
much to see Judge Turner governor,
and that it would glvo him great pleas
ure to cast his vote for the cx-con-
gressman. "But I am for any man
whom the Democrats nomlrate.”
Political gosulps have revived the
rumor that was circulated some months
ago that ex*Goverhor Northen would
be a candidate for state treasurer to
succeed Capt. Park. What tbe talk
amount* to will develop later on.
