Georgia will have politics galore this
year—no lean than three elections be
ing scheduled, running from the pree-
Idency to Justices of the peace.
As a side dleh, there trill be a state
primary and a state convention—may
be two state conventions. Talk Is al
ready beginning to float about the
capttol regarding the political things
to happen this year. It Is expected
that Chairman A. I.. Miller will call
| the state Democratic committee togeth
er early In the spring to tlx the date
I for the primary.
| Sentiment among state, house offl-
jclals favors an early primary—petWiaps
some time In May. A big change In
I the old primary system was recom-
I mended by the Macon platform, adopt
ed September 4. 1806. The recommen
dation was as follows:
“We declare It to be the policy of the
Democratic party of Georgia that here,
after all' primary elections for United
States senators, state house officials,
supreme court and appellate court
Judges shall be by direct popular vote.
The candidates who, upon the consoli
dation of the votes throughout the en
tire state, receive a majority of all the
votes cast shall be declared the nomi
nee of the party for that ofllce. If no
candidate shall receive a majority of
the total vote cast, the two candidates
for any ofllce receiving the highest
number of votes cast, and no others,
shall run In a second primary, and the
candidate receiving a majority of the
votes cast In the second primary shall
be declared the party’s nominee. For
Judges and solicitors by a plurality of
the votes cost In their respective cir
cuits."
The platform demanded the passage
of a general primary election law to
carry these recommendations Into ef
fect. but It will hardly come thld year,
as the general assembly will not meet
until after the primary Is held, In all
probability.
To Elect Governor.
State house officials from governor
down are to be , elected this year.
Whether or not Governor Smith will
be a candidate to succeed himself Is
yet an undetermined question. For
months there has been much talk of
Governor Smith running for the United
States senate against Senator A. s.
flay. To date Governor Smith has
been silent on the question. It Is
known beyond any cavil that his per
sonal desires run toward the senate,
but he may consider tils obligation as
embodied In. his memorable campaign
so strong as to compel a continuance
In the governorship. In the meanwhile
Senator Clay Is making a strenuous

A recommendation that a nufflclent
appropriation be aaked In order to al
low an Increase In the salaries . of
teachers In the public schools of Atlan
ta was made by Professor William M.
Slaton In his annual report to the board
of education.
Superintendent Slaton sets forth the
fact that $40 per month Is not com
mensurate with the amount of work
done and the skill required of the
teachers and adds that while there are
many excellent teachers now teaching
for this salary that It will be Impossi
ble to hold them unless an Increase Is
granted. He states that In 1807 many
teachers were taken away from the
schools of Atlanta by other towns and
given an Increase In salary of from SO
to 40 per cent.
Professor Slaton states that all the
schools are In good condition and com
mends the teachers for the excellent
discipline maintained. The following
table of appropriations and expendi
tures for the year 1807 Is submitted by
the superintendent:
Double the Regular Number
of Votes on Old and New
Subscriptions for Next
Two Weeks, and Only Fif
ty Per Cent Increase on
Regular Votes for the
Third Week. This Will
Be the Last Extra Offer of
Any Sort in the Contest.

The superintendent recommends that
toilet rooms be added to the grammar
schools of the city; that the stone wall
at Davls-st. school be completed to pre
vent the yard washing away, and that
the front yard be filled In: that a stay
all be built to prevent the backyard
of the Tenth-st. school from washing
nway, and It Is suggested that some
steps be taken to prevent gullies from
wnshing In the yards of the Stste-st.
and Summer Hill schools.
Concerning the number of teachers
now enrolled In the schools the report
says
The number of teachers now enroll,
ed In our system Is as follows: White
male, 14; .white female, 271; colored
male, 3: colored female, 57: total, 345;
1 superintendent, one assistant super
intendent, 4 directors, 3 assistant direc
tors, 18 white supernumerary tench-
era, 6 colored supernumerary teach
ers. During the scholastic year 1806-
1807 there were 333 regular teachern,
making an Increase of 20 In the teach
ing force In one year.
“The total enrollment during the fall
of 1807 la 15,848. The enrollment for
the corresponding time of 1806 was 15.-
438. making an Increase of 522 pupils
In the fall of 1807 over the number In
the full of 1808. This Increase Is of
Itself sufficient to show the constant
growth of our city and popular confi
dence In the excellence of the achools.
The reports In this office show that
our population Is constantly Increas
ing because of a desire of the people
to get the benefits of our public schools.
This fact causes a constant Increase In

Whether or not Professor Jere M.
Pound, who was appointed to fill the
unexplred term of W. B. Merritt aa

opposition Is problematics). Senator
E. T. Steed waa a candidate for the
place, but It la believed that with his
race for the senate presidency on, he
will not seek the state school commls-
■lonershlp.
Under the new railroad commlrslon
bill two members are t oh eecetedl
bill two members are to be elected this
tall. These two are Commissioners
George Hlllyer and Commissioner Ful
ler Callaway. When Commissioner
Callaway accepted the appointment
Inst fall. It waa announced that he did
so temporarily. This Is taken to mean
that he will not be a candidate for the
position again.
In ths Supreme Court.
Two Justices of the supreme court
are to be elected—Justice Beverly D.
Evans and Justice Horace N. Holden,
being the two who must go before the
voters again. Justice Holden waa ap,
pointed to fill the unexplred term of
Justice A. J. Cobb. Judge R. It. Rus
sell drew the short term In the court
of appeals, and will have to go before
the people this fall. It Is hardly prob
able that he will have opposition.
In the prison commission the term
of Commissioner Tom Eason expires,
and his annuncement that he would
hot he in the race again brought out
several candidates, among them Wiley
Williams, of Columbus; Captain R. It.
Milledge, of DeKulb: R. E. Davison, of
Greene; Matt Cook, of Telfair, and
Jesse Mercer, of Ftlxgerald. Comp
troller Wright Is not likely to have op.
position.
Besides state house officials, mem
bers of the senate and house for 1903-
'10 will be elected and 11 congressmen,
a United Rtates senator, county offic
ers and Justices of the peace. The first
election will be for state officials in Oc.
tober, and county officials wlU he elect,
ed at the same time. The presidential
election will take place In November,
congressmen being elected at that time.
In December special elections will have
to be held for Justices of the pence.
As the national Democratic conven
tion meets In, Denver July 7. It will be
necesaary to hold a state convention to
name delegates earlier than that time.
It seems probable that It will be called
for early In June. That convention will
recommend James R, Gray ns national
committeeman from Georgia, to suc
ceed Clark Howell.
From now on the game will begin to
open up In earnest. \
Saturday marked the-close of .the
special offers of extra votes and prlxes
In The Georgian's great $15,000 popu
lar voting contest, and the Interest and
enthusiasm on the part of candidates
and their friends reached the highest
pitch since the contest began.
The special offers were of two weeks'
duration and while they lasted hun
dreds of subscrlihlons were brought in,
and fully a million votes went Into the
reserves.
One of the most noticeable features
of the contest Is the lprge number of
new candidates who are dally entering
the race, ae they see that some of the
others are not working, and determine
not to let the prlxes slip without a
good effort on their part to win some
of them. If you will run over the list
of candidates and their vote standing,
you will see that a great deal of In
terest has been taken In Districts Nos.
3, 7 and 8, and that there are a num
ber of new contestants In these dis
tricts who nre after the prlxes and who
are apt to take the leadership away
from aonie of the candidates who have
been In the race from the start, If they
do not look .out.
Last Offfre of Extra Votes.
The offer of extra votes for the next
two weeks Is the most attractive yet
made In the contest, and there will be
none so liberal throughout the re
malnder of the contest. In accordance
with repeated announcements, there
will be no more offers of extra prlxes,
the offer Just closed being the last of
the contest. However, the offer of
extra votes for the next two weeks in
sufficiently liberal and attractive to In
spire all candidates to the greatest ef
fort they have made during the con
test and gives all an equal chance to
swell their vote totals. The offer Is
as follows:
During this week and next week,
double the regular number of votes
will be given on all subscriptions (both
old and new) which you bring or send
In. Note this carefully: One hundred
per cent Increase In the number of
votes to be Issued on all subscriptions
turned In this week and next.
During the week afier next, only 50
per rent Increase on the regular num
ber of votes will bo allowed.
These two offers of extra votes cov
crlng the next three weeks will posi
tively be the last offers of extra votes
made during the contest; In fact, they
are the last special offers of any sort
to' be made during the contest. We
give our word to this effect and hack It
up with a promise to give each and
every candidate In the race a free trip
to (tuba If any further special offers of
extra votes, extra prlxes or of any other
description are made after these. We
do this In order that no candidate may
fall Into the error of waiting for other
offers, but may take full advantage
of the present opportunity, '
It's the chance of all chances In the
contest—the one you have been wait
ing for—the last you will have. You
are earnestly nnd respectfully advised
to make It count as you hope for final
success.
Duration of Offtrt.
The offer of the 100 per cent Increase
on all subscriptions will h« from Mon
day, January 6 Id Saturday night, Jan
uary II, at 8 o'clock. All subscriptions
whirl: come In between those days are
good for the double votes.
The week following only 60 per cent
Increase will be allowed on the sub-
scrlptlons, and the last week of the
contest there will not be any extra of
fers made on the subscriptions. This
Is positive and final.
We want every one to feel sure and
safe about these, the last extra offers
of the contest, and we want you to
know that If you work during the
coming two weeks, you will stand a
mighty good chance to get enough
votes to win one of the prlxes. This Is
the opportunity of opportunities, and
those who fall to work now might os
well draw out of the race.
Stop and think what this means—
4,800 votes for each and every new
yearly subscription and 2,400 votes for
each and every old yearly subscription
:h you turn In during the coming
weeks, and then the next week you
will receive 3,600 votes for each new-
yearly subscription and 1,800 votes for
each and every old yearly subscription.
Surely this Is well worth every effort
that you may use to get the subscrip
tions, and then there Is a great chunce
for you to secure enough votes now to
make sure of one of the splendid
prlxes.
Friday of last week we made the an
nouncement that five new yearly sub
scriptions would be worth 30,000 votes.
This was an error: It should have read
ten new yearly subscriptions would he
10,000 votes. Most of the candidates
realized that the statement was an er-

Quite a number of new contestants
have entered the rare during the past
two weeks, and this Is a great opportu
nity for them to get Into the lead not
only In their district, but In the entire
contest.
The Extra Prize Wlnnere.
The winners of the extra money
prizes offered during the past two
weeks will not be announced until next
Baturday, owing to the fact that the
voting has been so heavy It will take
a long time to go all thru the books;
and we wish to have all of them re-
checked several times In order to make
sure about tile result. Bo we trust
you will await the announcement of
the result with patience, and If there
Is any one In the rare who would like
to Inspect the books after the contest
closes we would be only too pleased
to have them do so. Every record Is
open for public Inspection, nnd If ydu
have doubts about the rontest In any
way. call at The, Georgian office and
let us show you the books, or, better
■till, come In and examine them your,
■elf. Of course, we ran not let you
examine them now, for this would show
you how many votes some of the pan
didates are holding, but If you are one
bit skeptical about the contest, we will
appoint a committee, or, better still,
we will allow uny of the candidates to
appoint u committee to examine the
hooka at any time you may suggest.
The Georglun has always done every,
thing out In the open and on a fair
anil square plan, urn! we mean to con
tinue In the same way.
After the present week the single
toting coupon appearing dally In The
Georgian will be discontinued, and
only the coupons run In connection
with the want ads and certain display
advertising will appear. The want ad.
nupona will be run so long as we deem
advisable. The coupons run In con
nection with the display advertising of
certain advertisers will be continued
until the close of the contest.
Want Ad. Coupons.
Now a word about the want ads;
We are giving you u chance to put a
want advertisement In The Dally
Georgian absolutely free, and get
coupon Rood for twenty-five votes with
every ail you Insert. This Is free to
every one who has an ad. of personal
nature to put In, so if you huve any
kgltlmnte wants, be sure and get your
share ut votes on the want ad. coupons
for this week. Every one Is reading
The Georgian want nds. nnd If you have
anything that you do not need and
that you would like to trade or sell, put
your ad. In The Georgian. The Oeor
glan Is the people'^ paper, and we ari
going to give the public every possible
i.dvnntuge of the dally paper where I*,
will help them.
If there la anything about the special
offers that you do not thoroughly un
demand, be sure and ask about It. for
we want you to have a thorough
knowledge of the offers ao aa to take
full advantage of them.
one of the new candidates who en
tered the last of last week, wrote to
us and said In part that she did not
know that It was so easy to get sub.
scrlptlons for The Georgian and that
hud she known It before, ahe would
have been In the race long ago. This
ludy will no doubt make some of the
ethers work before the end Is reached,
and we hope she will, for we alwaye
like to see workers go to the front.
A little help now will ha worth more
to a candidate than a lot of consotutlon
after the race is oyer.
