GOSSIP Of STATESM - ENffi POLITICIANS T WO member* of tile legislature were discussing the expenses of living In Atlanta during the ses> slnn. One said: * "I have a good big front room In a nice house, and pay $1 a week. My Incidental expense* are not over $4 n week, so I save about $18 every seven dty« out of my per diem of It a day.” •That's cheaper than l live now,” eald the other one. “It I* costing me about lib a week actual expenses, and I've got to cut It down somehow. A fellow wants me to go In the room with him, and It will cost us only $5 a week a piece then.” Which leads to the comment that perhaps a majority of the members of the general assembly consist of frugal men, who save a good proportion of their $200 for the session. Not all. however, for some live In the expen sive hotels, and perhaps pay >4 or more per day for board. It la said that a few men spend $500 to $800 per ses sion of 60 day*. Hoke Smith's campaign for governor will be historical, perhaps. In more ways than one. Since he opened his campaign over a year ago In Madison he has spoken In 111 counties, and by the time he has wound up a day or so before the primary on August $2, he will have made the total near 140. In many of the counties he has spoken twice or more. Fannin Is the only county north of Atlanta In which he has not made a speech. Clayton, Jones and one or two others north of Macon nave not heard him, nor has Ogle- tnorpe, the home of James M. Smith, another gubernatorial aspirant. The other counties not yet visited nr 5lr. Smith are In South Georgia. He has not stormed Colonel Estlll's etmnghotd—Chatham—yst, but will go •here the latter part of July. There are not more than fire or six counties Mr. Smith ha* no present Intention, at iea«t. of visiting. Turner Is the only one of the new counties In which he h«a not spoken. Only one other candidate has a hook-ln at Hoke Smith's record—and that l< Plain Dick" Russell. Judge Rumen has not been at It nearly so mng as Mr. Smith, but he has done "ome mighty humping since he laid the judicial ermine, and Jumped full-rigged Into the gubernatorial iu!! a 'c , Ju< l*e Russell Isn’t satisfied "tth tiring one shot In a county—he manages , 0 mag.
