HE WILL DE ~ THE RACE.
Little Doubt That Hon. Pope Brown
viii Run for Governor.

Dublin. Ca, Aug. 16.-It was genera ly
understood by tn Sc who attended the an
nual cow, n ion of he state Agricultural
Society in Dublin last week that Hon. J.
Pope Brown would be candidate for
Governor two yeas hen e. True he would
not affirm the report, but his close friends
gave those to understand who were in
clined to inquire about the matter that
he would certainly be in the race u sue
coed Governor Gambler. They prophesied
too, his nominate on and subsequent cleo
ton.
1t is expected that Hon. Clark Howell
and Attorney General joe Terrell will be
in the race also. This, his friends say, will
help Mr.. Brown as the northern section
of the state will ihUs be divided between
two candidates, while South Georgia is
expected 10 go so,idiy for the railroad
commissioner.
There is no question but that Mr.. Brown
Is very strong with the farmers of Geor-
gia At Qutman last year he assared
most positively that he would not under
any circumstances accept the presidency
cf the state Agricultural Society longer
than ore more year aud yet al the Dub
lin nesting he cor santed 10 run again and
was unanimously reelected. This latter
occurrence is locked uron as having a
good deal of political significance.
1t can be accepted as a fact that Pope
Brown will he in the race for Governor
in 1909 and will give somebody warm
race.
