Bussell, of Winder, led the ticket In the' raco for ap pellate Judgeahlfar, which la In the nature at a very distinct compliment to the Jackson county man. ‘ Judge Russell was not a voluntary candidate; In fact, had no In tention of entering the race. But on the Anal day for candidates to pay the entrance fee, a friend paid the money. When Judge Russell found tjmt ho was a candidate—whether or no—he hot-footed It to Atlanta and entered a protest to his friend. Mrs. Russell, too, vetoed the plan, hut the people did not. They went to the. polls and heartily supixirtcd the Judge for the place. He won hands down, and never solicited a man to vote for hltn, which Is In the way of being something unique In elections. 1 Judge Russell—really It seems premimptlous to try to tell the public about him. At any rate, he was born In t’obb county In 1861. When only if yeurs of age he graduated from the University of Georgia and a year or ho luter from the law department. They didn't wait until he waa 21 before sending him to the legislature. But they made no mistake, be cause he showed great uptltude for” the game. Then he was elected solicitor general of the western circuit, after wards becoming Judge of the name circuit, und from which he re signed to enter the gubernatorial campaign. He Is said to have prodig ious capacity for work. JUDGE REN H. HILL JUDGE A. G. POWELL Benjamin . Harvey Hill Is the worthy sun of one of Georgia's greatest men. the lamented Sen ator Benjamin Harvey Hill. He la an able lawyer, u quiet and dlgnl- ned gentleman and in every way eminently quHlIfled for the new responsibilities Georgian* have be stowed-upon him. Judge Hill la the eldest son of Senator Hill, and waa born In the historic old homestead at LaGrange in Troup county July l, HH(. lie attended the common school* of Troup county until he was 17, when he entered the University of Georgia, from which he graduated In lata with the degree of A. B. and B. L. He wua selected by hla classmates os commencement or ator. Arter graduation he went abroad, spending a year In Europe travel ing and studying. He waa admit ted to the bar In 1871, and formed a partnership with his distinguish ed father, which tontlnued until Senator Hlirdted In 1881. In 1887 Governor Colquitt named him as general of the At lanta circuit, and he was re-electsd by the legislature for a term of four years. He declined a third term and was succeeded by hi* brother, Charles Hill, now solicitor. During Cleveland's first term Mr. Hill was appointed United 8tates district attorney for the northern district of Georgia. He has since been associated with hla brother In the practice of law. Arthur Gray Powell, of Ulhkely, la reckoned one of the ablest young law yers In Georgia. That la the verdict of the supreme court of Georgia, which Is about as expert teatlmony along that line as Is obtainable. 4 He la young, having been born September !. 1S7S, but nobody who knows hlin has uny apprehension ns to his ability and fltncaa for hla new poaltton. It la said that he has the beat law practice In hi* entire section of the state, which he has built up by sheer merit. Self-made Is applicable to him. •for lie began hustling for himself early In Ilfs. When only 14 he was an apprentice In a printing ofllce, and not very much older when he taught school. Mercer Is hla alma mater, and before he was IS ht was admitted to the bar. In 1901 he attended the law department of the University of Virginia. When only 11 Governor Atkin son appointed him Judge of the county of Blakely, which place ho fllled with ability for four years. He was then tendered the position of solicitor of the Pataula circuit, but was not old enough to accept the profer. Judge Powell was married In 18(8 to Miss Annie Wilkins, of Miller county, and they have two charming children. He Is promi nently Identified with several busi ness enterprises In Blakely, where he was born and raised. NECHO WOMAN USES HAT PIN AS WEAPON The hat pin as a weapon Is not so much of a Joke as It has been consid ered. That a woman can do things with one Is not a pure product of the funmaker's mind. Rosa Whits, a black woman, got Into a squabble with Conductor H. O. Hart on an East Point car Monday evening and drawing the pin which held her hat to her head, she Inflicted a very pain ful wound by sticking It obliquely Into the street car official's side and tear ing It out. Hart got her weapon from her and then she tried to cut him up with a case knlf*. The conductor held the woman until he got to East Point, where he turned her over to County Policeman Peacock. MRS. MARYA. GOSSETT T Mrs. Mary A. Gossett, of 153 Wheeler street, died Monday morning at the age of 98 years. Sirs. Gossett was born In Dooly county and had lived In At- lama for many years. Her body was sent to Courtney for Interment Tues day. Mr*. Gossett was born a year before the war of 1817. She watched the growth of the young nation, lived througjt the war with Mexico, watched the four years of civil war and the pe riod that followed It and In her old age saw her descendants march away to fight In the war with Spain. She was Known for her fund of anecdote and her recollections of th* customs of oilier day*. ENTERS IKSUBANCE 'FIELD JJTLANTA Firemen’s, of Newark, Ap points J. L. Riley Gen eral Agent.

TO CAPT REDDING Augusta Man May Be New Director of Experiment Station. After 17 years at th* head of the Georgia experiment station at Griffin, It seems more than probable that Cap tain R. J. Redding will be retired at the meeting of tha directors In Griffin on Wednesday, and Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, put Ini his place. . The directors, 14 In number, will meet at the experiment station on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock to elect officers for the experiment work In Georgia for the ensuing year. Sent! ment among the directors seems to be crystallised Into the belief that Captain Redding should novir retire from active service because of his advanced years. All of them recognlxe his long and faithful service''to the state and the splendid work he has accomplished In advancing the agricultural and horti cultural Interests of Georgia. To him belongs the credit of Georgia's great strides along thla line In recent years. Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Augusta, who will, In all probability, succeed Captain Redding, Is well equipped for thla work. He has represented Rich mond county In the legislature many years, and has always been deeply In terested in agricultural mutters. If elected to the position he will give Georgln splendid service. The position pays J2.000, a year. This will probably be the only change In the personnel "of the officials con nected with the station. Horticulturist Starnes and Professor Willoughby, In charge of the dairy work, will be re elected. Thirty-one million feet of lumber is said to be tied up In the territory ton- tilled by* loom lumber ' fnt*rfsHr ( 'Be- cause of one. of-the fltost serious freight car shortages within the. past several years. Saw-mills have • been closed down and quite a number are running on half time because of the Inability HT tnt maftafftt'ttifeftt'M , tffijve their stockH. , Railroad men refuse 1 to discuss the situation further than to say thaythey arc doing their best to supply the de mand. The call for cars Is by far -the heaviest In years and the shortage Is affecting all the shipping Interests whose movements are heavier In <he fall than other seasons. Conference Called, meeting of the lumber manufac turers of this section Is.expected Lo. be called within the next two week* to decide upon some mutual plan for re lief. The matter will ho thoroughly discussed at th* convention of lumber and saw-mill people now In session at the Piedmont. George K. Smith, of Atlanta, made a short talk to the delegates Tuesday morning and reviewed the conditions as reported from this section. He men tioned the car shortage and said that the lumber people were more seriously affected than any of tha other shipping Interests. “The railroad* are doing all they can possibly do," said Mr. Smith, "but there Is a great quantity of lumber In this section awaiting shipment. Many of the manufacturers are cutting down their output because of lack of cars to ship their stocks. Prices nre good, but the demand I* not as brisk as Is usual at thla time of th* year. ‘it Is estimated," ha continued, "that at least 81,000,000 fset of lumber Is tied up. "Utb feel* Carpenters and all other branches of the building trad* or* busy and there la plenty of room for other laborers. How much damage the recent storm did Is unknown, unless men have been sent out t<g make an estimate. I do know a great deal of damage was done along the Oulf and Ship Island road and south of Hattiesburg. Miss. Stacks have been blown down and mills un roofed. It Is possible that portable mills will b* sent out to save the fallen tim ber."
