ON THE HONE STRETCH
Counfy Candidates viii uose Speakiaq
Campaign Nturtdy Niohf.

The county candidates will enter
the home stretch next week In the
grand sweep stakes race for the pie
counter They viii conclude their
speaking campaign In this city Satur-
week TO repairing the weak places
in their fences. For several weeks
past they have with burning elo-
quence been telling dear people how
to save the country. and on Saturday
July IS. the aforesaid dear people
will proceed to exercise that right
according to the dictates OF their own
conscience. The voters have display
ed considerable interest in the cam
paign which is drawing to a close,
and from present indications an un-
usually heavy vote will be polled in
the primary election. II will prob
ably exceed the vote cast in the pri-
mary election two years ago in which
Lanham received SEAS votes. Some
of the county contests have attracted
more than ordinary interest. the
most notable being the race for coun-
~ attorney, sheriff and county clerk.
The closing of the speaking cam
paign by county candidates is to be
followed by a series of speeches by
local and foreign spell binders for
the different gubernatorial aspirants.
Arrangements have been made for
Campbell and Brooks speakers to ad-
dress the voters in most of the vot-
ing precincts in the county next
week, and the people are promised
something really interesting in the
way. of forensic displays. There will
probably be few Bell speakers in
the field, but most of the campaign
ing for this gentleman and for Mr..
Colquitt in the county will be con-
Quoted along quiet lines. The speak
ing tour for gubernatorial candidates
will come to an end Friday night
| July 27, and then all will anxiously
await the result of the primary to b'
held the next day.

Few knew whittier they were go

Sherman kept his secret well.
Among the officers, however, the
facts were known.
In his march from Chattanooga to
Atlanta the Federal general had been
compelled to fight almost every foot
of the way.
To accomplish this. indeed, to re-
main even at Atlanta for months II
was necessary that his line of com

intact.
OF course. once Atlanta fell. the Con
federates saw the chance to reduce
their victorious enemy, and for the
time their energies were devoted to
the task of cutting of his line of com
munications.
IL this could be done, Sherman
would be in a serious condition indeed.
There promised to be some lively
times on the scenes of former desper.

: Colonel John and his regiment had
been ordered to join the column about
to move back to the relief of the brave
general who had been left among the
mountains of Georgia to guard Al
toona Pass, a point of immense value
to Sherman in keeping up communi-

Chattanooga.

General Corse, messages that told OF

So abrupt was their departure, ow-

John was not given a chance to have

The march was one of haste.

Though strongly tempted to take

He squeezed the little hand, while

She was gone, and Colonel John, left
alone in the library, paced up and
down for half an hour wrapped in
thought, and judging from the smile
upon his face, he must have had pleas

Then he went out to give more pos

Her eyes were fixed upon the page.
Colonel John moved a step nearer,
and, unobserved by either, stood in the
doorway, his gaze fastened upon the
face of the Southern girl, his wife by
the fortune of war. 1t was as though
he expected to read his fate there.
Over her usually composed features
there shot a sudden look of alarm, Of
even horror, as she read Worden's
message.
"Can it be possible they have done
this terrible thing? Why, l saw him

Sweet words to the man who stood
at the door and strained his hearing

He saw her press a small kerchief
