Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
SMYRNA, Sept. There is a decided
split in the Republican ranks in Duck
Creek hundred It is due to the fact
that the Higgins element, under the
leadership of DIR. T. c. Moore, has practi-
cally shelved the Massey faction, led by
ex.Speaker Of the House John r.
HofIecker Postmaster William H.
Boggs, William A. Farris, Walter A.
Hoffecker and James p Hoffecker
For many years the Hoffeckers have
practically run the politics Of this ban.
ner Democratic hundred. Two years ago
the higgins men made their first incur
sion into this Hoffecker preserve. Des-
pite this incursion John H. Hoffecker
won the senatorial nomination but was
cut 800 votes in the county by the
Higgins men, who had so desperately
opposed his nomination If there was
one candidate who thought that he
would run ahead of his ticket it was
the ex-speaker. The modification of
himself and friends can be better mag
ined than described.
The Hoffecker element, through Sam
uel Potts and Lewis Hamilton, the two
leading negro politicians, up 10 that time,
controlled the negro vote of the hundred.
In order to break the "solid South" Seria
tor Higgins appointed James Potts,
Samuel Potts's son, TO a lucrative
position in Washington. This served
away from the Hoffeckers and DR.. Moore
soon had the negro element in full swing.

Moore, II. Il. Johnson and S. S. Griffin

generously allowed the Hoflecker element

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE'S
STORY,
The Scarlet Letter
An installment of which APP
pears in this issue.

THE SCARLET LET
TER is written by the firm
hand of a master, guided by
the characteristic and vivid
imagination of a great author.
The shadow of a former day
takes the reader by the hand
and leads him back to the
early days of a New England
town; amid the scenes of an
English-American colony, the
reader is made familiar with
the quaint conditions of Puri-
tan life. Through the lines
one hears the cry of anguish
and the laugh of JOY and sees
the scenes as they unfold in
sunshine and in shadow.
Those who have read this
fascinating story, years ago,
will be glad to read it once
more, while thousands, both
old and young, who have
never had that pleasure, will
be glad to read it now.
