NORTHERN TO SUCCEED BROWN.

The following interesting piece of
political gossip comes from Atlanta
A prominent member Of the Senate,
who is a warm friend and political
supporter of Col. James NJ. Smith. of
Oglethorpe county. who has recently
announced his intention of becoming a
candidate for governor, says that
some time ago Col Smith was quite
anxious to secure an appointment
from GOV. Gambler as a member of the
board of railroad commissioners and
that he acquainted the Governor of
This fact, but that the Governor held
out little inducement' to him. This
authority says that Col. Smith inform
ed the chief executive of the state
that he would like to succeed Col. ].
P. Brown when that gentleman hand
ed in his resignation for the purpose of
entering the contest for the governor
ship. and that the Governor informed
him that when Col. Brown resigned the
vacancy would go to Ex-Governor w.
j. Northen in the event that he would
accept the place. The senator, in
speaking of this matter, says that
Gov. Gambler is heavily indebted to
Ex-Governor Northen in a political
sense. and that Col. Smith. under
standing the connection thoroughly,
has no i'll feelings against the chief
executive of the state by reason of his
application being turned down. He
says that ex-Gov. Northern when he
had the appointment of secretary OF
state in his hands, selected Gov. Csnd-
Ter for the place. out of the dozen or
more applicants for the Office. and that
for this reason the present Governor
would like to do something handsome
for the Ex-Governor. and that the
resignation Of Col. Brown would give
him this opportunity TO reward
friend.

Mccain LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Restrictions on Tobacco Ware
hOusemen Are Too Severe.

restrictions on Tobacco Ware
hOusemen Are Too Severe.
Louisville. Ky. Dec. 16.-By a de
cision handed down to-day by Judge
Field of the Common Pleas division,
the Mccain law, regulating the sale of
tobacco by warehouses, is held to be
unconstitutional. Judge Field held
that the exactions under the law
against the warehouses in favor of the
growers are unreasonable, and that
under this law the warehouses cannot
make a living profit.
The Mccain law seeks to provide
compensation of So per hogshead for
sales made by the commission mer-
chants or warehousemen and to pre-
vent them from charging the owner of
the tobacco any commission for pay
ing him the proceeds of the sale
It also provides that the warehouse
men on the day of the sale shall weigh
every hogshead, bale or box and after
the sale shall settle with the seller &C.
cording to the net weight. including the
sample, after deducting the exact tares.
An appeal will be taken.

CALVIN MAY OPPOSE GLENN.

Newman Herald and Advertiser: An
interesting bit of political gossip is the
rumor that Hon. Martin v Calvin will
be in the race for state school COM
missioner. The rumor has not been
confirmed: but, in view of the impor-
tunities that have been made to Mr..
Calvin to allow the use of his name,
we shall not be surprised if he yields
to the persuasion of his friends and
allows them to bring him out. Mr.. Cal
vim has probably attended more ses-
sions of the General Assembly than
any man in Georgia, and has never
allowed an opportunity to pass when
he could advance the cause of public
schools. He was for six years chair
man of the House Committee on Edu-
cation. and his intelligent discussion
from time to time of the needs of the
common schools of the state gave him
such prominence as the champion of
popular education that he has been
favorably mentioned many times as a
suitable person to fill the important Of
flee of state school commissioner.
