HARRIS TIDE IS RUNNING HIGH
.
(By International News Service.) l
BUCHAREST, Sept. 11.—The Rou
manian War Office today admittedl
that Silistria, an important Danube
fortress, had been abandoned to the
Bulgarians. The Roumanians retreat
ed in good order after the fort had
been destroyed by heavy guns.
“Silistria,” says the official state
ment, “was attacked with 12-inch and
16 1-2-inch guns, which destroyved the
forts in a few hours. The Rouma
nians retired in good order.
“Russian troops are marching to
the southward of Dobric, in order to
surround the enemy advancing on the
Danube.”
Great Battle on
Along Black Sea
By SYDNEY B. CAVE,
6taff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—Zurich dls
paiches today confirmed earlier re
ports that a tremendous battle is de
veloping In that section of Roumania
lying along the Black Sea. It is ap
parent from this news that the Rus
slan and Roumanian commanders had
carefully selected the field on which
they wished to meet the advancing
Bulgarian and Turkish forces.
The same dispatches brought the
significant news that the Russians
had resumed their offensive in Buko
wina and were attacking the Aus
trians along their entire front. This
was taken as indicative that the Rou
manian advance into Transylvania
had been so successful at every point
that the Russian army was secure
from attack on its extreme left flank,l
and could proceed with vigor against
the forces defending the passes lead
ing to the plains of Hungary.
While interest in the spectacular
centered upon the campaign in Rou
mania, the military \experts today ox-1
pressed the opinion that success for,
the Turco-Bulgarian forces in the
Black Sea reglon would gain them
but little benefit, Following the an
nouncement of the capture of Turta
kal, it is claimed that the Rouma
nian fortress of Silistria, 60 miles
from Bucharest, has fallen to the
Bulgarians,
These enemy Successes, the experts
boint out, are immaterial, in view of
the fact that at no point have the
Bulgarians succeeded in passing the
Danube River, which serves as a nat
ural defense for the heart of Rouma
nia,

Harris Forces
Now Sure of
83 Counties
N forecasting “the result of the
I Governor's race in the Sunday
papers, it was estimated by
Governor Harris’ campaign mana
gers that he would carry at least
79 counties, and possibly more.
Today (Monday) that forecast is
confidently increased to 83 coun
ties sure, and perhaps 90.
There is doubt in the Harris
managers’ minds of only one of the
six-vote counties; he will carry a
heavy majority of the four-vate
counties, and far more than a suf
ficiency of the two-vote counties
to nominate on the first ballot.
The Harris’ management says
there will be no convention fight.
Harris' friends will organize the
convention, nomindte the Governor
for a second term on the first bal
lot, and adjourn.
Even some of the so-called
“Watson counties,” regarded until
lately as Dorsey strongholds, be
cause of Mr. Watson’s support of
the Atlanta man, will swing into
the Harris column Tuesday,

The Old World Wagging
Advertising In its broadest sense is a power that makes the
wheels of progress revolve much faster than they otherwise
would, but the people’s advertising—the Want Ads—fills all
the little grooves that display advertising skips.
Proof of this is found In the classified pages of The Geor
gian-American, which teem with human Interest—the Inter
est that arises from the buying and selling and renting and
letting of homes, pleading personals urging an absent father
v to come home, searches for lost heirs—these and scores of
other lively transactions appear only among the Want Ads,
Read them even more carefully in the future than you have
in the past. You will be handsomely repald for a pleasant
five-minutes-a-day occupation.

Meeting at Lyric Tonight Closes Race
President of Tech to Introduce
Candidate—Old Soldiers to
Occupy Stage.
The Harris meeting at the Lyflcl
Theater tonight promises to draw an
audience which will overtax the ca-‘
pacity of the house, but the friends of|
Governor Harris were unable to se- |
cure the Auditorium, and the Grand
was to be occupied by a theatrical!
attraction. It will be a case of first
come, first seated. |
Governor Harris will make his first
Atlanta campaign address, and it is
expected to be the most vigorous
speech delivered during the campaign,
The Governor said he had refrained
from dttacking his opponents, and
until recently, when they realized how
formidable an adversary he had be
come, they had dealt very kindly with
him. But, he said, he expected to take
up these attacks in his Atlanta ad
dress and.handle them with gloves off.
He is an eloquent and forceful speak-'
er, as 50 Georgia counties can testi-|
fy, and the people of Fulton County
may confidently expect an address,
well worth hearing.
Tech Men for Him.
Governor Harris will be introduced
by Dr. K. G. Matheson, président of
Georgia Tech, the institution foundod‘
years ago by Nat E. Harris, when he
was a member of the Legislature,
Governor Harris has been head of the
Tech's trustees since the beginning,
and is considered the “father” of that
insfitution. Graduates and students
of Tech are practically unanimous in
his support, the only exceptions being
those who through ties of kinship or
close personal relations feel their in
fluence is due another candidate, |
Women are given a special invita
tion to attend the meeting at the
Lyric. The doors will be opened at
7:30 o'clock, and a band concert will
precede the address. They may be
confident there will be none of the
disorder which has characterized past
political meetings, unless this is fur
nished by a delegation from an op
ponent’'s camp, and it is assured that
this will not be permitted to interrupt
the address by Governor Harris.
Vets To Be on Stage.
Veterans from the Confederate Sol
diers’ Home will honor their old com
rade by going to the Lyric in a body
and occupying seats upon the stage.
They asked this privilege that they
might in this ‘way refute the allega
tion of Mr. Dorsey that the veterans
were against the Governor. Fifty or
more of the most prominent men in
Atlanta, representing many different
views on past political divisions, also
will be on the stage In Indorsement of
Governor Harrls.

THOUSANDS SEE BIGGEST
BRIDGE FALL: MANY DEAD
(By International News Service.)
QUEBEC, Sept. 11.—More than a
score of workmen-—possibly 30— were
crushed to death or drownea today
when the central span of the new $17,-
000,000 bridge being constructed
across the St. Lawrence River col
lapsed today.
The collapse occurred without
warning, and the men on the great
span were unable to make any es.
fort to save their lives, The victims
were crushed to deathy by the mml‘
that fell on them, or were carried with
the span into the deep waters of the

could reach them.
The span collapsed three hours
after the scows supporting it had
been removed.
Construction of the bridge, which
Was to have been the largest canti

ably will be long delayed. The span
which fell was about one-eighth of a

With the opening of the polls less
than 24 hours away, the management
of the four candidates for Governor
were busy Monday making the last
check of the news from the counties,
revising their estimates of counties
‘won and lost, and completing ar
rangements for workers at a thou
lsund or two polling places. The halls
of the historic Kimball House,
broeder and incubator of many a po
litical chickéen which never got home
to roost, were never quite so filled
with workers who looked busy and
idlers who looked important.
At the Harris headquarters
friends in charge of the Govern:xu

their Saturday forecast only by add«’
Ing a few counties to the Governor's
’daim. These had been in the foubt
ful list until Monday, when telegrams
announced they appeared safe for
‘ Governor Harris.
Considerable discussion was caused '
|on the streets Sunday and Monday
by one of the last remarks made by
Mr. Dorsey in his speech at the Grand
Saturday night, a remark carefully
eliminated from the account of the
speech published Sunday in The Con
stitution. In rebuking Governor Hare
ris for showing clemency toward un-
L.'nrtunnta State prisoners Mr. Dorsey
remarkod:
Dorsey in New Role.
“Governor Harris, in his speeches,
Indulges in a lot of sentimental drivel
about the sanctity of the home and
the virtue of wife and sister, and says
{ho will set free the man convicted of
slaying the Invhder of his home™ =
Among the letters and telegrams re
ceived at the Harris headquarters
Monday were several commenting on
this and expressing the opinion that a
man who considers this idea of the
';r..-wv:nn of the home “sentimental
drivel” will hardly find his expected
support among Southern voters.
It was worthy of notice Monday
that at the Harris headquarters the
telegraph messengers were bring tel
egrams in, while over in the Dorsey
offices the telegrams were all going
out—hundreds of them, to judge from
the string of boys hurrying In and
it. It was a natural inference that
the Dorsey management was making
one last attempt to rally its forces
around the Watson banner.
The morning paper, which has for
many weeks done everything possible
to further the Dorsey campalgn, even
by omitting to handicap him by its
‘uiemna: indorsement, was brimming
over Monday with last-minute de
fense, denials and repudiations. It
featured on its front page, where none
but Dorsey might intrude until now,
