BROWN’S RACE COST $21,469
Postage Bills and Telephone aud
Telegraph Tolls Were
Heavy.
The expenses of Joseph M.
Brown in his campaign for the
democratic nomination for gov¬
ernor, were $21,409,
On yesterday Mr. I3rown and
his campaign manager, J. R.
Smith, went over «H the accounts
and audited all the bills which
remained unpaid.
At the conclusion of this work
an itemized statement was made
as to its correctness. It was
then forwarded to Judge A. L.
Miller at Macon to be laid before
the state committee. As pro¬
vided for by act of the last con¬
vention, this statement and that
of Governor Hoke Smith will be
announced at the next state con¬
vention.
The larger part of the cam¬
paign funds of Mr. Brown was
expended for Dostage; for tele¬
graph and telephone tolls, which
amounted to a considerable sum,
and for rent of headquarters in
the Kimball house.—Atlanta

JOHN HARPER
GIVEN RESPITE
Of Sixty Days by Governor
HokeSmith
SCAtTOLD IS READY
FOR THE EXECUTION
Today, Friday, June 12, Was the
Date Set for the Hanging of Harper,
but He Stiff Has a Chance to
Live.
John Harper, the murderer of
Sheriff Keith, has been given
another respite by Governor
Smith, this time for sixty days.
Harper’s attorney has filed a
bill of exceptions with Governor
Smith, and much depends on
this.
Ail arrangements had been
made for the execution here
Friday when the news was re¬
ceived that he had been given a
respite of sixty days.
The scaff old, the only one ewer
erected in Murray county, has
been completed awaiting the
day.
Sheriff B. H. Willbanks and
J. L. Robinson went to Atlanta,
where Harper is confined in the
Fulton county jail, Wednesday
to bring Harper back to Murray,
the scene of his crime.
The scaffold was built 111 the
alley by the jail, as that seemed
to be the most convenient place
to complete the work, but scaf¬
folds have been built and nobody
banged, but we can’t say whether
this will be the case m this in¬
stance or no.
His attorneys have worked
unceasingly to save his life, but
the prison commission, the gov¬
ernor and the pardon board have
all failed to reverse the decision
of the jury and it seems that his
days are numbered.
A motion for a new trial on the
grounds of newly discovered ev i
denee will be heard at August
term of Murray superior court.
JUDGE TWIGGS NAMED
TO NOMINATE BROWN
Eloquent Speaker Is Choice of
Chatham Delegation to Put
the Name of Hon. Joe
Brown Before Con¬
vention.
When the state convention
meets in the Grand theater on
June 2-3 to nominate H 011 . Joseph
M. Brown for the governorship of
Georgia, his name will be placed
before that body by Judge If. D.
D. Twiggs, of Savannah.
Tins announcement was made
yesterday afternoon and will be
of great interest over the state,
for ever since the choice of Joe
Brown for governor was assured
the question has been repeatedly
asked who would spring his
name.
This honor is generally con¬
ferred upon the county which
gives the successful candidate
the largest vote, and while this
rule has at tunes been broken, it
is usually observed. ,
As Chatham gave Brown a
majority of close to 8,000, winch
was considerably greater than
that given by any other county,
the honor clearly belonged to
Chatham, and that delegatipn
was in favor of Judge '1 wiggs for
the place.
Judge Twiggs is an eloquent
speaker, and bis nominating ad¬
dress will be one of the features
of June 28.—Atlanta Constitu¬
tion,
