central committee Thursday n sub-commit-
tee was appointed, with A. S. Buck of At

ticket for state house officials AS yet, this
committee has done very little, but il is un
derstood that they are agreed upon Joshua
Hill to lead the ticket, and efforts viii be
made TO get him to allow the use of his
name at the October election Col. Buck is
of the opinion that Joshua Hill will
consent to run, and If he does will stump
the eItira state Il is generally known here
that the republicans will try and conduct II
lively caml algn in Georgia this year, and
WPle they hope for no victory, still they
desire to materially cut down the demo
cratic vote. Col. Buck stated to the NEWS
would invite several p,oninent speakers to
