Andrew met last night at the Epiphany

ports from the various chapters awakened

men come under the influence of the Cos
pei.
Mr. John E. Allen of No. 1928 N street
northwest spoke of an undertaking that he
has in charge, that of establishing a read
ing room in the southeast section for boys.
He said that rooms for the purpose could
be had at a small sum per month, and that
with 500 the plan could be carried out and
sustained for year. The idea as ex-
pressed by him was that a place was
needed for boys where they could be
brought together and have influence thrown
around them that would counterfeit the
evils of the street. He expressed the hope
that generous people would help him The
East Washington, gave the matter his
favorable and hearty cooperation.

A WARM RACE IN FULTON.

Labor Legislative Candidate Sur
prIsed Politicians.
Atlanta, May 15.-The vote in the state
primary election to-day was not as large
as Vice Chairman Brown predicted, but
whether this was due to the early primary
or the 1900 registration, does not appear.
The friends of Congressman Lewis here
are jubilant over his success, as are those
of Judge Gober in the Blue Ridge cir
cult, and Judge Flte in the Rome cir
cult. Judge Gober's victory was especial
ly emphatic, his majority in two counties
alone, being over 1000.
Many OF the legislative contests have
been sharp and exciting, and Fultons s
came in This class. The surprise of the
day here was the remarkable showing
made by C. G. Houston, the labor candi-
date for the Legislature, he leading the
ticket. Norris Brandon was second, and
al this hour, it is impossible TO say who
will hold third place, ex-Representotive
Jack S'aton or eX-Meyor Porter King.
Nelms was reelected sheriff by a large
ma ority a d iuiscy ordinary by less than
10 No es SIpe ior Curt Judge j II.
Lumpiin, City Court Judge II. NJ. Reid
ard Solicitor CHARLES d. Hill were elected
without opposition, Judge Andy Calhoun
was re-sle ted Judge of the Atlanta Grim
inat Court by large majority, and Eu-
gene X. Black was reelected solicitor of
that court by HANDS 1me vote.
Palmer and Rosser were reelected
County Commissioners thus continuing
the control CT the county affairs in their
hands Tax Receiver Armistead was re-
elected over his opponent.
There developed to-day an unusual in
terest in The legislative race. This arose
from the sharp contest between the pro-
his and ants, the former centering all
their energies against the return OF Jack
Slaton for the prominent stand he took
against the Willingham bill, while the lat
ter trained their batteries on King, as it
was underst God he would champion such
a bill II elected. The conflict was sharp
and interesting. 1t was stated during
the day that Porter King would assume
the leadership of the next House for the
prohibition bill, and profhng by the pres
tige thus gained. that he would be the
Prohibition candidate for Governor be-
fore the Democratic primary two years
hence TO succeed Gov Gambler. As il is
openly said that Clark Howell, a rceog-
nized anti, Is seeking the same place this
would pit Two Fulton men against each
other for the governorship, as II was
likely at one time would be done for the
presidency of the Senate. Hon. Porter
King was induced to stand for the House
and give a clear field 20 Howell. Friends
of the successful candidates are parading
the town tonight with tin horns and
making the wekin ring, those OF Hous-
ton being the most demonstratiye.
