Townsend said: "My position in local politics can cot bo well misunderstood. 1 s|tain! for all that the* Uodd Government club represents and 1 am supporting Judge Crovatt for several reasons. In the tilt'd place he is an honest, able and tearless democrat, is loyal to his con victions and would not lend hi aid to any faction, be it “ring” or other wise, unless there was real merit in the cause. “Again i am wilth Judg • Crovatt on his pronounced views in favor of local option and against the city court of lirunswick tinder the law upon which it is now being conducted. This taik of restoration of ring line is pedicu lous and (those who know me should also know I would not tolerate such a thing.” County Attorney A. B. Franklin said: “i am supporting Judge Crovatt because i am for good government methods, progress and prosperity, and so is he, and i am certain that he rep resents no faction, but wishes to act. for ( tne people and will uo nothing to reverse! their veruict previously ren dered, nor take one step backward or contribute either to the placing power of any ring or fa< tion or Jhc return of what is commonly called (ring rule.'” Air. K. R. Hopkins' reply was: “No man has been a more deter mine.} and outspoken supporter of the principles of the Good Government club than i. lhave done all within my power for itheir success and my posit ion as to any other administrattion ol affairs is thoroughly well known. 1 am a supporter of Judge Crovart be cause I believe him to lie a clean, pure, active, energetic and heartily in favor of all those principles and o! continuing and,' increasing the re forms ami the improvements already begun and being carried .cut by tne present administration in b >ih cit> and county and feel that no can be depended main to continue along those lines without the slightest fear of any return by any act of his of ob jectionable parties or “ling rule” in either state or county." Mr. C. P. Goodyear, Jr., said: “I have advocated and do still the principles of |the Good Government club. I am supporting Judge Crovatt because his past public record proves him to be a strong advocate of im provement and progress and I believe that he Is and will continue to be so SOLONS HELD CALLED SF SSSON MET YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TO TRANSACT SOME IMPORT ANT BUSSINESS Called Meeting. lirunswick.

Few will ever be recognized, so great arc the mutilation and distortion Searching parlies have found 8.000 charred corpses on the site of tlie ca thedral. All appear to have been as hyxiated at first, Men and women, panic-stricken at the cataclysm, turned in the moment of their despair to the cathedral and were apparently overcome before they conpj reach its doors. From the positions of the bodies the opinion is formed that many were over come almost before they realized tilt: ex tent of the peril. Many of the bodies are in lifelike position, as though death bad come with a b:'eath. as indeed may ha\e been the case. Not a soul was found alive in the whole town. Militury rule is established in tlie town to prevent vandals from working. Such property as lias not been destroyed will be protected.
