A Mr. Ihckruge. who was on tiis way to

and given a f «ir and full chance.

busily engaged g. tting ev.-rythlug ready
for the. d.'-isiou. which will be announced
in our next Issue. Th" contest closing
Saturday night with Sunday intervening,
it is itnpvszible to announce the result to
day.
Tin* rush of subscriptions for Friday and
Saturday has taxed our working capacity
to tli** utmost and tiie care that was taken
to get every guess, premium and .subscrip
tion entered exactly right has delayed the
work slightly. Our whole effort is to get
th" subscriptions entered promptly, but ac
curately. and this takes time.
Quite a number have named the word
properly snd the division of the priz* will
have been preferred against Lieutenant
Michael J. O'Brien and that they were
filed at the headquarters of the arrtiy over
a week ago. It is also a well-known fact
that within the last few days charges hi ve,
been prepared for filing against Lieutenant
Frank E. Bamford. The latest rumor in
circulation was to the effect that charges
would be preferr.-d against Maior Carter
for using übiistve language toward Lieu
tenant Bamford.
With ull these charges and counter
charges Hying thick ami fast. It has been
the general opinion at the fort that whole
sale courtmafitials would result, but ft
now seems that such will not he th” case.
It was confidently expected that the pres
ent court would lie ismtin-.ied long enough
to try Lieutenant O'Brien mi the charges
pre-fem.il against him by Captain Ro
meyn. Now It Is only fair to presume
that Ihe lieutenant will not be trl-d at all,
or at h ast not for some time to come.
Just why the orders to disperse w re
Issued Is a matter of conjecture. The
theory which app. arr the most plausible
of any is that the present trial at Mc-
Pherson lias caused stteii a. universal sen
sation throughout the entlr-- army and has
so stirred up feeling at thf- post in his
city that it is deemed advisable to post
pone any turt'h r proceedings until mut-ers
qui- t down somewhat
Th” trial of Captain Romeyn will be fin
ished Monday afternoon. That night the
officers will make up th-ir finding, forward
the nece.-sary documents to headquarters
and on Tuesday morning will leave Atlanta,
for home. If a modern army garrison might
be terimd such. "We like Atlanta." sail .i

The first signs of the approaching fight ’
have come.
The rat e for the office of chief execu

This, it is understood, will be a practical

Jenkins would lie in the field.
Present jirospects point to a long and <
vigorous contest. 1
Memorial Day the Romans will make
tho greatest In the history of the city, |
but the day following will be most sig- ’
i nlticant. and all the prominent politicians
of that section wiil gather to meet Mr. <
dußignon and talk of the future race.
i For some time it has been said that Mr.
dußignon h.ts been in the race. The papers «
of the xviregrass region have had him in
the front for some months, lieeently The
I Brunswick Times, anent a mention of
! the race to come, stat'd that the next
I frm i-rnor would come fr om south Georgia,
; ui'd that tho paper could name the man. ,
This was called by the several other (

up witli him:
"While his visit was istcnslhly to attend

enough, I'ow. ver, to say that if aft< i a

his chanees of election aro not certain,
he will n<>t ent- r the race.
"lb stated today that from present Indi
cations he considered his jirospects better
than tho- -of any of the pre-s. nt pr>>sp< c
tlve candidates, to-wii: dußignon, Borner
and Jenkins.
"Ho is certain at this time of carrying
several coui.ti- s in the eleventh an.l first
districts which are generally regarded as

"T'.rreil's inquiries in Macon today con

that ho will be a candidate if he sees a

there is a "re.it leal of doubt still hanging
over the disposition of this portfolio.

We huva be* n greatly gratified with th*
results of tlie.-'ei contests. Many guessers
have shown that tiie subject has been

Many have read widely upon constitutional

popular liberty have been well studied.
