POLITICIANS WILL MEET.
Monday promises to see a “gath
ering of notables’’ in Gainesville.
A number of the most prominent
politicians in the state will be
here, and while their visit will be,
strictly speaking, a social one, it
can be put down as pretty certain
that they will discuss politics to
some extent. It has been whis-

unique position of the general is
worrying his party associates very
considerably. Colonel Farrow, the
pioneer of Georgia republicans, is
slated for the postoffice at Gainesville.
Nobody else in Gainesville is- an appli

is' being held up on General Long-
street’s insistency that it be considered
only in connection with the LaGrange
office, and , that the appointment for
both offices go in together. Longstreet

for Gainesville.
-‘‘The reason he wants LaGrange is
found in the candidacy for that place

Longstreet now insists that Farrow
must not be -appointed until Whelchel

opposition. Whelchel, whose candidacy
