 A Day of Rest.
 All the political headquarters were StOSN0 SSSAti At1Jt anu lllC anu clerks, after a hard weeks work, were taking the day to themselves, and getting in shape for still harder work during the present week. It is claimed that cam paigning will begin in earnest today and continue so until the primary on the 25th. Last week was devoted largely to plan ming the line of campaign, figuring on dates, the territory to be given the most attention and the routing and appoint ments of the many speakers now in the field.
 The county campaign is presenting some complicated features. At present there are four headquarters opened, each having an issue which will be brought before the voters of the county. These four are, the Jeks headquarters in the Metropolitan hotel annex the Johnston headquarters in the Morris hotel; the Railroad Political club In the Florence hotel, and the laboring people in the Tomlinson building on First ave- nue. It is expected that the teachers of the county will name a candidate for the legislature today, and it is probable that they will open headquarters some where in the city.
 Former Governor Johnston spent the day in the city yesterday, but leaves this morning for Dadeville and Alexan- der City, where he speaks tonight and tomorrow night.
