Mr v Aaron W. Pass had more fun and
e&Ene within 19 getting less votes than
any other man in the race. He says

scratch my name.” He however car
ried Whelchel’s district, and has
been given his commission as sheriff

he voted for. His name is unknown,

Gov. Gaudier To Head Big Publish-
. ing House.
Atlanta, Aug. 4.—Governor
Candler has been offered the pres
idency of a large southern book
publishing house that is now being
organized and it is very probable
that he will accept it.
The object of the company will
be to publish soutnern school
books for southern schools.
While Governor Candler has not
yet accepted the position, it »s gen
erally thought that he will do so.
In speaking of the matter this
morning the governor said:
“I am not connected with the
scheme yet, and have informed the
people who have invited me to j'oin
it that I cannot co jsider the mat
ter until my term of office has ex
pired.”
The governor believes that such
an iustitution would be of the
greatest benefit to the south, and
that it would be a paying invest?
ment. He has investigated the mat
ter thoroughly and is well acquain
ted with the publishing business-
