UP0NEvE OF BATTLE
THE OUTLOOK is BRIGHT
Brown Will Be Given Good
Majority.

In Americus, as throughout the
state, interest in the gubernatorial
race is now at greater tension than
at any time during the heated cam
paign, and all attention is now di-
rected to the battle of ballots which
will rage on Thursday, throughout
Georgia
Interest is at fever heat, and not
until the smoke clears away will the
result really be known.
Throughout the state the next
two days Will be devoted by the
Smith and Brown arrangements to
the marshalling of their forces pre-
paratory to the primary on Thursday,
which will decide the result
There is no possibility Of making
anything like an accurate prediction
as to the outcome of the race There
is apparent buOyancy on both Sides
and campaign predictions are as en-
Enthusiastically large as political effer-
Vescence will permit
HOke Smiths campaign manage
ment is claiming the election by
majority of 10000 votes Joseph NJ
Brown being his only opponent, it
would, of course, never do to admit
that he was going to get only the
meager 25,000 majority by which he
was nominated two years ago. So
the claim is jumped up $4,000 votes
and to back it reports are secured
from various sections of the state as
to majorities his friends are claim
ing in different counties.
Little Joe" Browns friends are
claiming that his majority will be
anywhere from 10000 to 10000, and
they, too, have reports from support
ers in every county on which they
base their assertions.
They figure on holding practically
the same vote that was cast against
Gov. Smith two years ago, or some
thing like 80 per cent of it. If their
claims are justified that would give
them $4,000 votes to start with
Then they are counting on the la
Dor vote, the Populist vote and others
which were cast for Gov Smith in
the primary of 1906
Conservative politicians however
consider that both sides are much
Overestimating the situation Some
of them contend that the situation is
50 close as to make it practically i'm
possibly to figure on the result, and
that the majority will be- whoever
wins, under 10000 votes
One of these who has Travelled the
state over, think Brown will win by
10000 to $4,000; and there are those
VINO hold that Gov. Smith will get a
small majority.

Plan OF ELECTION is
FAVORED BY BOARD
Assembly Will Be Asked to
Pass Bill.

The board of county commissioners
at the meeting yesterday heartily en-
dorsed the recommendation of the
grand jury relative to the election of
members of the county board in fu
ture, and in due time formal steps to
that end will be taken. The sugges-
tion of the grand jury is that, instead
of electing all five members of the
board Of county commissioners at
the same time that they be chosen
alternately, three at one election and
at the state election two years there
after. In this manner there will
always be two or three experienced
members of the board, whereas under
present conditions the terms of all
expire at the same time, thus putting
newly elected members at disadvan
tage. The new law, if enacted would
not become effective until four years
hence, the date Of expiration of the
terms of Office Of the newly elected
board.

firm, ripe and we'll packed. The car
is now en- route to New York where
it will arrive tomorrow and will net
the company something like 81 200.

Georgia peaches is very great, and he
will make other shipments as rapidly
as possible.

PROMINENT YOUNG
PEOPLE MARRIED

John P. Meadors brought wedding
party to the city in his auto on Thurs
day afternoon last. The principals
were Lloyd E. Richardson and Miss
Maud M. Jolliff of Fairview, and they
were married at the Jordan Hotel at
O'Clock by Rev. Leland Of the Metho-
dist church. The young people were
accompanied to this city by Mrs. Joll-
if, mother of the bride, and Mrs. J.
NJ. Waters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson returned
to Fairview Saturday and in the eve
ming reception was held for them at
the residence of H. N. Richardson,
father of the groom, attended by i'm
mediate friends. The young couple
will go to housekeeping on the groom S
claim some three miles northwest of
FalrVleW.
Mr.. Richardson is the son of III. N.
Richardson, the well known citizen of
Fairview, while Miss Jolliff is a gene
raj favorite in the locality and num-
bers hundreds of friends. She will be
remembered as one of the successful
ones in the big Monitor contest last
year, thus proving again the value of
publicity in gaining a husband. The
young people start life under the most
pleasant conditions possible and the

their future happiness.

MADDOX TALKED
TO GOOD CROWD
Questions Concerning Probable Republican OF
Democratic Success Threshed Out.

Mr. Maddox is typical Of Montana
both in size and individuality. Pre-.
facing his campaign remarks he
said that he had been a resident of
Montana for some thirty years,
coming overland from Cheyenne.
For long time he was state SEN
ator from Cascade county, but is
better known as the former chair
man of the state central committee
of the republican party. He is a
fluent speaker and impressed his au-
dltors as a man of ripe experience
in ways and means Of legislation.
Like most republican speakers, he
paid Mr.. Bryan the compliment of
calling him the greatest orator of
the age, and probably the greatest
debater that the world has ever
seen. But in summing up he de-
nounced the planks of the demo
cratic platform as visionary ebulli-
tions Of Mr.. Bryan and said that
they were doomed to failure. How
ever, Mr.. Maddox acknowledged
that both Bryan and Taft are su-
perior to their platforms, and in in
dividuality and resourcefulness
tower above the republican and
democratic ranks like mountains a.
bove molehills.
The references to Mr.. Donlan and
the republican party of Montana
were received with marked ap-
plause. III fact the speaker was
well received at every point and his
remarks listened to with closest at
tention throughout the evening.

A GLENDIVE BOOSTER
E. J. Berry under the Heading,
''The Man from Montana -

In using the phrase that forms the
above headline ones thoughts natu-
rally fly to a t'bad man" in the wes-
tern sense. In this instance the man
from Montana is good man-one
of the best. Mr.. Ed. ]. Berry, who is
referred to, was guest at the Mud,
lavia3 Hotel in September for between
two and three weeks. He is the popu-
lar proprietor of the Hotel Jordan,
Glendive, Montana, one of the best
establishments in the western country.
Mr.. Berry was not stranger to Mud
lavia, having been there before. So,
little time ago when horse trod on
his left great toe, and the consequent
soreness looked like becoming perma-
nent, he made tracks for Mudlavia,
where he was very welcome guest,
whose society was much appreciated
by everybody. Mr.. Berry has the fine
breezy appearance and manner of the,
best class of frontiersman, and during
his stay he was always conspicuous in
the hotel yerandas and gardens as the
central figure of much interested.
and we'll entertained group. We would
all like to see Mr.. Berry back again
at Mudlavia and we could find it in
our hearts to forgive that blame-fool
horse that sent him here last time, if
it would tread gently on his other big
toe, just enough to bring him back
again soon. Apart from that we wish
Mr.. Berry the best of luck in his bus
mess and every other way for he de-
serves it. Mudlavia, Indiana, News.

FLIGHT IN
LOFTY FINANCE
Peculations Come Out Which Are Truly Amazing
in Their Many Ludicrous Details.

/ New York, Oct. ia towheaded
youth Of 19, until recently a $12 g
week clerk in a brokers' office, was
the star witness at the trial in the
criminal branch of the United States
court of Charles w. Morse, financial
man and promoter, who, with Alfred
H. Curtis, former president Of the
National Bank Of North America, is
charged with having violated the ma
tional banking laws.
In the testimony of Edward P
Moxey, a government bank examin-
er, it has been revealed that a person
named Leslie E. Whiting had been
one of the heaviest borrowers from
the National Bank of North Ameri-
ca, at one time owing the bank as
much as $4,000. Hardly a week
went by in the year of 1907, the
testimony showed, that Whiting did
not borrow 100000 or more. giving
Ice stock, principally, as security.
It always appeared in the records as
presented. however, that the enor-
nous sums of money borrowed by
Whiting were credited to the account
of Charles w. Morse.
At the conclusion of Examiner
Moxey's testimony, Leslie Whiting
was called to the stand, and those in
the courtroom who had expected to
see dignified, shreWd-looking busi-
ness man step forth, were astonished
to see a smooth checked boy of un-
der 20 years walk nervously to the
witness stand. A smile swept over
the room and Judge Hough raped
shsrply for order.
After Whiting had been made to
describe how he had come to sign
the notes which made him indebted
to the bank for such large amounts,
he was asked: Gould you have paid
this note | hold here for s82, ,OOO?"
What, me?" answered the star
tied boy. No, no; couldn't.
Gould you have paid the $4,000
note?" pressed the attorney for the
prosecution.
mo SIR" responded the boy, a
trifle more assured.
For half an hour longer the boy
was kept on the stand while bunch
of letters bearing the signature.
Leslie E. Whiting and directed
to the National Bank of North
America were read. These letters,
couched in businesslike terms, gave
orders to the bank for transferring
collateral. changes and renewals of

Judge Loud came down from
Miles Monday and held a short term
of court extending to>Wednesday
forenoon. Nine criminal cases were
set for the next term, which ex-
tends from Nov. 16 to Dec. IA. Ed.
O'Neil was appointed special admin
istrator of the estate of John
O'NeiI, without bonds, pending
settlement of the will. Hattie Fish
was granted divorce from George
Fish. The writ Of injunction Sc

district No. IL was quashed. Judge
Cheadle will be here next term to
officiate in several cases.
Geo, Sundine, implicated in a re-
cent fracas, was given six months
in the county jail for petit larceny.
The court issued an order for the
sale of the personal property in the
estate of A. A. Burbank. The cat
tie have been disposed of to James

some $1,000.

notes. A sentence in one letter read.
Enclosed please find my check
for 100000. which apply to my ac-
count" " The witness explained in
answer to questions that he had been
sent to the bank by his employers to
sign the notes. He said he was in
curing an obligation, but felt sure
his employers would protect the
notes. Whiting testified that he had
never talked with Mr.. Morse or Mr..
Curtis concerning the signing of
notes or the putting up of collateral.
The boy also said that he did not
think his employers knew that he
was not of age.
Davidson Brown, another brokers'
clerk, was also a witness to tell of
having signed the notes for loans for
more than 100000.
Brown had bad memory and his
testimony was of little value.
The afternoon session was almost
entirely devoted to tracing the loans
made in the name of Whiting. Bank
Examiner Moxey started with loans
made in June, last year,
and showed how the loans were re-
peatedly renewed. It was brought
out that at one time the bank had
made profit of $4,000 on the
loans, but the profit was on paper,
Mr.. Moxey said.
After Whiting had testified, the
case was adjourned for the day. The
trial will be resumed tomorrow,
most unusual proceeding, for not in
Is years, it is said, has federal tri-
bunal here held session on Satur-
day.
Edward B. Wire, cashier of the
National Bank of North America,
who was cross examined today, said
that he never received instructions
from Mr.. Morse relative to the re-
ports of the bank to the comptroller
of, the currency, and that so far as
he knew the reports were Away cor
rect. He said that he never knew of
President Curtis making dishonest
penny out of the bank.
Gardiner w. Kimbal, a govern
ment accountant. was put on the
stand, while a chart, which he had
prepared showing the fluctuations
of the price of American Ice stock,
was displayed to the jury.
Edward P Money, a government
bank examiner, described some Of
the loans of the bank made on
American Ice as collateral.
