and thus this business which, under

LACK OF CROWD PREVENTS
 JOINT DEBATE All CULLMAN

ing. Mir Smith was especially compli- mentary to the deep interest displayed by the audience.
 Tt was altogether a gathering of bus iness men, intent upon informing them selves on the questions and issues of the campaign" said MT. Smith. While there was no great applause, the entire audience showed itself deeply attentive
 to the speaking. In fact, l never ad- dressed a more interested or attentive audience"
 The Decatur meeting. opening as it did the series of joint discussions, revealed the position and attack of the two can didates. In his closing remarks MT. Smith asserted that MT. Conner had mod flied his expressions made in the early part of the campaign and had retreated from some of the positions he had as- sumed. He contended that MT. Conner had so modified his views that he now wanted to get in on the Smith platform against which Mir. Smith protested.
 Mir. Conner entered a prompt denial of this. He stood now where he stood al the outset of the campaign and he de- clared that the records would bear him out in this. The circulars he was now sending out, he said, were the same cir culars which had been used in the fight for an elective Railroad Commission. They had been read before and filed with the Railroad Commission, he said. and they had never been denied.
 He said there were two circulars and out of this grew the confusion as to his statement about the Georgia rates. One of these circulars he said contained list of certain classes of freight, on which he
 said, the Georgia rates were 80 per cent
 lower than the Alabama rates. A second circular declares that on all classes of
 freight the Georgia rate was on an aver
 age 40 per cent lower than the Alabama
 rates. Both circulars were true. he said. one referring to a limited number of classes and the other to all classes
 The next joint discussion will be in Bir. mingham Monday night at the city hall.
 Both candidates left Cullman this after
 noon, Mr. Conner for his home in Bir-
 mingham and MT. Smith for his home in Montgomery.
 Mir. Smith effectively set at rest a ru- nor that he was prospective candidate for Governor. Having received an intima- { ton that rumor of this sort had been started Mir. Smith declared: 'I am not candidate for Governor. I have no in- tention of being a candidate for Governor and I will not be a candidate. I want that stated as emphatically as possible and as coming direct from me-"
