wick was nominated for Senator to
! ed Scnator DBacon at the Demc
cratic Convention in Macon Wednes
dav after Hon. Thomas 3. Felder
!:.’ withdrawn in his favor.
‘his accomplisiied the cverwhelm
ine defeat of Governor Slaton who
had received more direct votes and
more county unit votes than either
Hardwick or Felder in the Primary.
The Convention met Tuesday
morning at ten co’clock and sat with
ocut adjournment until after sevein
the next morning. The only real
fight was over the short term Sena
torship, which ended as stated in
the nomination of Hardwick.
Hon. Frank Jenkins, of Putnum,
was elected Temporary Chairman
through the combined vote of Fel
der and Hardwick. This was the
first blow for Slaton, as the Tem
porary Chairman appointed the com
mittee on credentials. Judge Mor
ris, of Cobb, was a member of the
committee , which decided in favor
of several delegations that were
friendly to the Hardwick factions.
Among these was the Gilmer county
Delegation of which Hon. Bart. Cox
was the head. Tom Watson's friead,
Major Charlie McGregor, of Warren,
was among those turned down. He
had openly stated, it is said, that h 2
would vote for Slaton although War
ren Democrats had carried the coun
ty for Hardwick. He did not get
a chance to vote for anybody.
Judge Nat Harris was nominated
for Governor without a contest, Dr.
Hardman withdrawing in his favor.
Senator Hoke Smith was nominat
ed by acclamation and made a speech
of acceptance which was de
voted largely to a discussion of plans
for finaneing the cotton crop.
With these matters out of the way
the fight over the Bacon vaeancy
started. Between that time and se
vén o'clock Wednesday morning
thirteen ballots were taken and then
tiere was an adjournment until
oon.

Japan To Fight Against Ger
many, While Turkey
Will Help Her.
The war in Europe continues with
unabated fury. The Germans, by
superior numbers and the great guns
of the Krupps, are driving the
French back upon Paris and are
now within less than thirty miles
of the capital, which is preparing
for a long siege. German flying
machines are already dropping oc
casional bombs into Paris but they
do comparatively little damage.
The conduct of the war by the
Germans has been marked by a re
lentless brute force that has astonish
ed the world. The attack upon Bel
gium, a neutral and unoffending na
tion that happened to be in the
pathway to France has been follow
ed by numerous acts that were be
yond the pale of civilized warfare,
icnluding the Kkillnig of red cross
nurses, and it is said, their own bad
ly wounded soldiers.
The Russians have met with some
success in their attacks upon Ger
many and their march toward Ber
lin.
Japan is to send a hundred thou
sand men to join the English who
are allies of France. There is pos
sibility that England and Japan may
make an attack on the Germans
through Belgium, which would be
a flank movement and tend to cut
off the Germans from their own
country. ;
Turkey is reported to have decided
to go to war in aid of Germany.
If Italy declares war, which is
likely, there will be little left of
Earope that is not involved.
