Apparatus Il Here.

The new chemical engine, the
flrst installment of the FIRE fiehtino
apparatus for the Emmett FIRE de.
partment. arrived Saturday. and
those who have lived in constant
dread of a blaze starting and win.
ing out all their possessions are
breathing easier.
The chemical is beauty and is
greatly admired. 1t has two tanks
each with capacity of 80 gallons,
and is equipped with axe. crow
bar and drag hook for tearing
down buildings. A thorough test
was given the machine TUESDAY,
night and its work was satisfac.
tory A large pile of paper and
dry goods boxes was set ON FIRE
and allowed to get a good start. |
Despite the fact that strong wind
was blowing, the flames were easi-
y extinguished.
Steps will now be taken toward
organizing volunteer FIRE depart.
nent. George Burkhard is being
alked of for chief, as he has had
number of years experience as
'olunteer fireman and also on a

Po.toffice Open at Night.

AS soon as the Improvements now
being made at the postoffice are
completed, Postmaster Waring will
keep the office open at night, prob
ably till IL O'Clock. Many pat
rons, especially farmers, have
grumbled because they were unable
to get their mail after z o'cock,
but the government officials would
not permit the doors of the Office to
be kept open after Office hours, un-
less the partitions were screened.
This is being done, and the objec-
tions removed.

HURRY YOUR GUESS
IN GOVERNOR S RACE
Chance To Win Years Sub
SCriptiOn To Daily.

For the nearest guess to the vote
of Smith and Brown in the primary
for Governor on June 4, the Times
Recorder will give free one years
subscription.
There are no strings whatever to
this offer You don't have to be a
subscriber All you have to do is to
either clip out of the Times-Record-
er the voting blank or write Smith
vote-' and Browns vote
," filling in with the number
of votes you expect the respective
candidates to receive.
In 1906 Gov. Smith received a ma
jority of about $4,000 over all his
opponents, his vote being 94,497, and
all his competitors 69,454 The total
vote was thus 163,195 This year the
total vote will probably be several
thousand larger as the registration
is some $4,000 ahead of last year
Make out your guess, and either
mail or bring it to the Times-R ecor-
der office.
The contest closes on Monday at
6 p. m. Hurry along your guess

First, when Hoke Smith says he
has no opposition" that it is all
noise and bluff, he doesn't even fool
himself
At best, that sort of talk is moth
ing but graveyard music
The fact is, HOke Smith knows he
has the fight of his life this time, and
that if he wins at all. it will be by
the Skin of his teeth" l say, HOke
Smith himself knows that; no matter
what he says about it.
They say he doesn't like to have his
advisers say this much to him; but
some of them have persisted in tell
ing him the truth, nevertheless. One
of his most prominent speakers has
told it not only to Hoke Smith him
self but to others.
Mind you, | do not say that they
express any doubt as to the result;
on the contrary, they insist that
Smith is going to win. But all that
talk about carrying 139 counties and
122 counties and 81 counties and So
900 majority and 10000 majority
they seem to have been making all
sorts of claims-is pure bluff and
clustering. They don't believe one
word of it, themselves.
The plain truth is, they will be
eternally satisfied to-just win.

This much is absolutely certain
about the situation:
First, Hoke Smith and his crOwC
are "skert and skert bad" no matter
what they may tell the public.
Second, that whatever Hoke Smith
confidence" there is seems to be
half-hearted based on the idea that
Hoke is ''invincible" and not on how
the people feel about it.
Third, that the Joe Brown conf
dence" is of the exuberant, cheer
full, convincing variety, and either
the Joe Brown people believe what
they say about it, or they are better
actors than the other crowd.
Fourth, that Hoke Smith has lost
considerable ground. except Gin
spots within the past two weeks.
One mOre-and this is so certain
that we believe Hoke Smith, deer
down in his heart. feels it to be the
truest thing about the whole cam
paign. tO-wit:
If Clark Howell made a mistake in
inviting Hoke in" two years ago
Hoke made just as big a break
when he invited Little Joe OUT OF
the railroad commission in order tc
even up personal grudge That
was costly piece of revenge" fol
Hoke Smith-it may cost him the
Governorship, by about 10000 major
ity for Little Joe"
The Brown people claim 10000 with
an air of confidence that is impress
sive
The Smith people claim $4,000 with
an air that seems to say cit is JUS
as easy to say fifty as ten-so why
not
And there you are. I am not coins
to bet on the result But don't be il
the least surprised if Hoke Smith
is badly defeated.
As one of his close friends put i
to me today, "Hoke may get over it
but he'll never look the same"

Here are a few sample Hoke Smith
claims:
Richmond county for Smith by a
majority of from 1000 to 1900. How
does that sound to people who are
right here on the ground?
Washington county by over 1000
majority. The best reports are to
the effect that, while he will carry
Washington, his former majority,
which was about 900, will be more
than cut intwo.
Bibb county, doubtful" I could
MT find a Bibb County man who did
not give the county to Little joe by
! 900 "easy"
Floyd county, doubtful" Floyd is
safe for Brown by a good majority,
several prominent Rome men telling
me that from 700 to 900 majority
would be a conseN, atfve estimate.
Hall county, doubtful" One of
the best posted men of Hall county
says Hall is certain to give Brown
over 500 majority; and his estimate
was backed up by three friends who
were with him.
Chatham county, may go for
Hoke," so the Journal has been say
ing. l couldn't find anyone who did
Mt cOncede Chatham to Little Joe
by over 1000 majority, and that best
estimates give it to him by over
