Commissioner Brown viii Not Be In Race.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 23.--Railroad Commits
sioner Joseph M. Brown will not be a candidate
to succeed himself. He says that while he
would like to remain in office, he feels that 1t
would be highly improper for him to do so, even
if he could, as his views upon certain matters
are so utterly different from those of Hoke
Smith, who is to succeed Governor Terrell,
that it would not be pleasant for him to remain
member of the commission. Mr.. Brown says
that the people seem to have endorsed the views
of Mr.. Smith along lines that are utterly differ
ent with his ideas of what are right and eqult-
able, and that he thinks that some man should
be elected to succeed him who is of Mr. Smiths
way of thinking so that the greatest harmony
can prevail between the chief executive of the
State and the members of the Railroad Com
mission. Mr.. Browns term as member of the
Railroad Commission expires October 1st, 1907.
Mr.. Warren Hills two years later, in October,
1909, and Mr.. O. B. Stevens the same month in
1911. He says that as long he remains
Railroad Commissioner he will act in accordance
with what he believes 10 be his sworn duty, re-
CARELESS of'the incoming Governor.
From what Mr.. Brown says upon this suit
ect, it will be seen that he will not be member
of the commission after October, 1907 Just
who will succeed him is matter for the people
to say at the next general election, The con-
vention, when it meets at Macon next month,
will nominate candidate to succeed Mr.. Brown.
Already three candidates have announced. Hon.
T. C. Crenshaw, a former member of the Rail-
road Com mission, Col J. E. Mercer of Fitzger-
aid, and Hon. F. Mitchell, of Thomas. Hon.
Pope Brown is also regarded as candidate, and
later on the list may grow much larger.
AS the business of the convention will be
conducted under the auspices aud subject to the
wishes of the nominee for Governor, it is safe
to say that no man whom has not been an ar
dent supporter of Mr.. Smith need apply for
this Office.
If Hon. Pope Brown wants the Office he
would make strong candidate. He has beer
member of the commission, and his views upon
thequestion of freight rates said to be in per-
feet harmony with that of Mr. Smith.
Prospective candidates should lose no time
in announcing so that their friends can line up.
The old law prescribes the qualifications
of the members of the railroad commission. It
said that one must be lawyer, another busi-
ness man and the third man familiar with the
operations Of railroads. AS the Governor is to
pass upon the qualification of the members of
the commission he can say just how much
knowledge a man must have on certain line to
make him qualified to hold the Office to be filled.
This being so, all of the members of the board
may be taken from the same walks of life, and
the people.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. H.
The run on the Hibernia Savings
bank continues today. The line of
depositors is half a block long, reach
ing to the paying teller's window.
All are paid promptly and there has
been no disorder. The general belief
in banking circles is that the run was
unwarranted and that the institution
is sound.
AS was the case yesterday the line
few men scattered in the procession,
and in every case when they were
approached said it was for the. reason
they wished to withdraw their money
and further replied. they were taking
no chances.
Women were more open in their de-
clarations. The chief trend of their
replies was that neighbOrs told them
the bank was weak and they would
better get their money out.
