tices to appointees.
While the fierce contest among the
gubernatorial candidates has overshad
owed the race f ir other offices the city
Of Atlanta and the county of Fulton
have other things to consider as
•s the comparative demerits of the

generally as the leading candidate,
la said «>n the street tnnt Thomas H.
Goodwin is running well in the stretch
and will |miI1 mole votes than has been
antic Iputed.
On the county ticket the rivalry for
the office of county treasurer has re
sulted In a hot campaign. Right ns-
S lants fur the place are in the field.
tibert L. Culberson, chairman of the
county commissioners, Is spoken of ns
the leader up to this time, but Macon
C. Sharp, Peter F. -t’larke and Mayor
Woodward are looked U|sin as stron
rivals. It was expected that the rac
would narrow down to a Held of three
or four, hut everyone of the eight can
didates has paid his entrance fee and
ex fleets to face the barrier on Wed
nesday.
Thiee candidates for alderman from
the First w ard,’ w hlrh Is In line of suc

The state campaign Is singularly
free from contests except at the head
of the ticket, where five aspirants for
the gubernatorial chair ate stumping
the state. V. T. Sanford Is racing
against William A. Wright for comp
troller general and William B. Merritt
and Mark Johnston both want to be

REGISTRATION BEHIND
THAT OF TWO YEARSAGO
Registration from the country districts of Fulton county falls behind
the registration of two years ago by over 100. The registration In the city
wards has not been compiled, but It Is believed that It will also fall short
of the figures In 1904, and that the total registration for the county will be
less than that of 1901 by between 500 und 700«names.
County Tax Collector Andy Stewart completed the compilation of the
country registration by districts Friday afternoon. He Is now' busily at
work on the city registration, and will complete this within a short time.
The total registration for the county will hardly reach 11,000, according
to estimates at the collector's office.
The registration by districts as compured with that of 1904 Is as fol
lows;
, 1904. 1908.

day night. There are five candidates
for the short congressional term and
two for the long term, with the results
uncertain.
A vote of 80 per cent Is as much as Is
expected. The total white registration
for Chatham county for the primary on
August 22 Is 0,955.
DEPENDS ON WEATHER
IN MURRAY COUNTY.
Spt-clnl tn The Georgian.
Spring Place,* Ga., Aug. 18.—This
county Is almost all a farming county
and some of the voting precincts are
wide apart, so that If the weather la
favorable for work a full vote will not
bo polled.
The total registration of this, Mur
ray, county Is 1,744.
MANY FAILTO REGISTER
FOR GENERAL PRIMARY
On next Wednesday the voters of Georgia will. In a general primary,
select delegates to the coming state Democratic convention for the selec
tion of a candidate for governor. Tho campaign opened 14 months ago
when the candidates took the stump to appeal fa the voters for support
and has grown in Interest and bitterness since.
Reports of registration from the different parts of the state Indicate
that only about SO j»er cent of the atrength of the party will be expressed
ut the polls, if the weather Is favorable.
The registration has fallen short from 5 per cent to 10 per cent, and
while feeling has been at white heat In some sections of the state, espe
cially In the larger <clties, In many of the tural districts much apathy seems
to be manifested from reports. There seems to be greater Interest In the
ientral and southwestern portions of the state than In the extreme south
ern and eastern portions. It seems that the central portion has been the
chief batleground and there the candidates centered their contest for su
premacy.

tion Georgia had ever been usked to
Indorse. The speech was a clean anti
clear-cut argument, devoid of mud-
slinging. and was well received, though
the speaker's voice was not strong and
the frequent cheering and Interruptions
by the crowd made It extremely dlffl-
ult for Mr. Howell to be heard.
Probably half of the audience failed
to catch his words, the address being
delivered In the open air from a plat
form In front of the court house.

HOWELL AND~8m7tH
FIGHTING FOR BIBB.
Spools! to The Geofglnn.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 18.—The Indications
here are that Bibb county will go either
to Hoke Hmlth or Clark Howell; no
man can wildly guess to which of these
candidates. The partisans of both are
actively nt work, and have been for
several weeks. Russell, It Is declared
by friends of the other candidates, will
run third here. The town Is bolng del
uged with circulars opposing Smith,
hut It Is believed they are too late to
cut any figure In the campaign. The
voters are figuring the situation out for
themselves.
HOKE SMITH RAP8
JUDGE E. H. CALLOWAY.
Special to The Georgian.
Augusta. Ga., Aug. 18.—Hon. Hoke
Smith made his first gubernatorial
campaign speech In Augusta Inst night
to one of the largest audiences that has
greeted n public speuker since Hon.
T. K. Watson spoke here when he was
a candidate for president on the Pop
ulist ticket In 1904. The opera house
was practically filled with people, and
a large number came to the city from
other towns.
Mr. Smith wag Introduced to the au
dience by Hon. H. Roney.
Very prominent among the people In
the audience was n number of the
members of the A. P. A. organisation,
which organisation carried the city
O O
aOOOOOOOOQO00003O0OOOO00OC
election for Judge W. M. Dunbar by a
very large majority. It Is said that
this organisation has given Its support
to Mr. Smith. He had hut little new to
( Inject Into the campaign and his ad-
j dress was the same as the one he has
been delivering to the voters of the
state In ingny sections.
Several times Mr. Smith referred to
local politicians and to their standing
for or against him. This being the
homo of Judge R. H. Galloway he had
to give out a slight rap for this dis
tinguished Georgian, but It was not re
ceived with much enthusiasm.
Mr. Smith explained Ills views on the
railroad question, and denounced the
so-called "political lings" In the state
of Georgia, and the railroad domina
tion. He grew very eloquent at times
ami he wus loudly cheered.
THE RACE IS BETWEEN
SMITH AND HOWELL.
Special to The Georgian. •
Amerlcus, Ga., Aug. 18.—It Is gener
ally thought by those acquainted with
the situation that the race between
Smith and Howell will be very close In
Sumter county. It Is thought that
Smith has the Amerlcus district while
Howell has the country districts.
This county Is strongly claimed by
both sides.

built of curds. Had the first
been an acverc as the second, the death
lint would have run Into the thousand,
Kortunutely the Mm shock brourhi
the people scurrying Into the utreet.
Up to this time there has been n<> tlti Vt
wave and the shipping In the harb.Tr
has escaped with comparatively :mi.
damage.
Heavy Los* Expected.
The business section of the city ha,
suffered the most severely and it |,
feared almost Irreparable damage has
been done to tho .ea wall, iin d
wharves.
It In I in possible to ascertain at this
time what Jnmage has been done , n
the Interior. It Is feared, however, that
Santiago, Los Andes and other Intel | nf
points have suffered us severely as has
Valparaiso. /
Meager reports from the coast cities
as far north aa Iqulque also tell of
damage by the earthquake.
It Is feared that when new, does
come In It will tell n frightful ,t..rv
of toss of life and destruction of proa,
erty.
WHOLE CIVILIZED WORLD
18 ASKING FOR TIDINGS.
Special Cable—Copyright.
Heunos Ayres, Aug. 18.—Cablegrams
are pouring In from the capital, of the
civilized world nsklng for Information
concerning the disaster at Valparaiso,
but thus fur It has been Impossible to
reply definitely, owing to the fact that
tho wire, aero,, the Andes are pros,
(rated. The belief Is expressed in
some quarters that the re|,>rts have
been exaggerated, but there la noth
ing on which to found such tin opinion.
Not a word lx coming through, nor Ims
there been nny direct tidings since Itn.
mediately after the first shock when all
communication ceased.
