General Banking business INTEREST PAID ON TIME DEPOSITS who can heat Harris and llardwlck. However, their scheme appears a hopeless one. They have figured on Murphy Candler, and quietly sounded the state In his behalf, without getting and satisfactory response. Then Rep resentative Schley Howard's name was put forth, and sUII the people did not show any concern. Even Governor Dorsey wa, calculated upon, but It seems certain that he will not allow himself to be used In any such way. It Is said that they then urged i Con gressman Frank Park, without result. The truth Is that the W. J. Harris loom has attnined such proportions that there does not seem to be any chance of stopping It, and the Atlanta politicians are really desperate. They had hoped to put ovor their own candi date, so as to give Atlanta both sena- ! torahlps. It Is still possible that they will Induce Mr. Candler to run, al though everybody outsldo of Atlanta, | acquainted with politics, knows thot ' he has no strength, and will only mud dy the water, and thereby help Hard wick. There Is no doubt of the fact now I that W. J. Harris Is going to run. He I haa said so himself, and it ta even be lieved that he has mado plans for re ! signing his place as chairman of the I federal trade commission, whleh is one jof the most Important offices ever l : created by Congress. Practically all of the Washington correspondents are affiliated with pot tlcal interests antagonistic to Mr. Har ris, and they are not giving him justice in their dispatches. As for Atlanta newspapers ,The Journal is obviously loaning to Murphy Candler or Schley Howard, the Georgian (the Hearst pa per) has already declared for Hard wick. The Constitution may suppoit Mr. Harris but nobody knows. Both Macon papers will support Mr, Harris, judging from their recent ut terances. Tn addition tbo great ma jority of the weekly papers are all for Harris. CARRY YOUR COTTON TO E. C. Parker & Co. ALSO Agents for the OWENSBORO WAGON CO.
