Spoke to a Large Crowd During
Demonstration in Atlanta.

first campaign speech Friday during
a demonstration in Atlanta in

shall go into once with no enmity
with me and leaving none behind.
l shall exemplify in every way that I
can the motto on the coat-of-arms
OF Georgia, Justice, Wisdom and
Moderation. ts
Later he gave to the press the
following statement:
II am glad the race is over, and
am grateful with the result. i hope
the fight will soon be forgotten by
both sides, and that no hard feel
ings will be cherished. Having
fought each other we will know how
to respect each other as ADVERSE
ries.''

AFTER FAMOUS TREASURE
WATER HAS COVERED RICH VAL
TABLES FOR 1000 YEARS.
The Husband of a Georgia Woman
Will Drain the Water From
am Italian Lake.

Will Drain the Water From
am Italian Lake.
Few tourists who visit Italy fail
to see the famous Lake Nemi, the
Mirror of Diana, as the ancients call
ed it. The splendid castle mirrored
in its waters, once the property of
the Colonnas, then the Frangipans,
the Cencis and the Orsinis, is now
owned. by Don Enrico Ruspoli, the
second husband of an American wo-
man, whom he married in Washing
ton six years ago-Mrs. Brutons,
whose maiden name was Eugenia
Berry, and whose girlhood home
was at Oak Hill, Ga.
On the borders of the lake, where
now the strawberry beds cover the
ruins, stood temple of Diana, once
renowned for magnificence. 1t was
presided over by a priest whose sole
qualification was that he killed his
predecessor and always carried a
sword in his ahnd to prevent being
served likewise.
Deep underneath the strawberry
beds lie famous treasures. When
the Orsinis owned the castle they
dug up antique goblets and other
treasures valued at 100000. But
the list Of the jeweled plate still ex-
lists, and it is known that not
little of these have been found. Still
lying hidden there is a famous emer-
aid cup, the goblet fashioned from
one great stone,
In the lake, half embedded in the
mud, lie the two celebrated villa
boats of Tiberius and Caligula, boats
which contained hanging gardens,
temples of marble, columns of por-
phyry, Orofs of cedar. ornaments in
Vulnerable oil bronze. The boats are
still intact, and Education Minister
Rava has appointed a committee of
inquiry, on which are Boni, the IA
nous archeologist, and Carrado Ric-
CT. These gentlemen have come to
the conclusion that two courses are
open to the government-one to
lower the lake until the level of the
water touches the submerged boats,
the other to drain the lake dry.
Ruspoli is now negotiating with
the government. BY the close of this
year the operations will probably be
completed, and the gorgeous crea-
tons of Caligula and Tiberius will
leave the waters which have covered
them for 1900 years, and be placed
in a Roman museum.

Memphis Selected as the Next Place

With the selection of Memphis as
the place for the next reunion and
the election of Gen. Clement A. Ev-
ans of Georgia as commander-in-
chief to succeed the late General
Stephen D. Lee, the United COnfed-
crate Veterans adjourned their an
nual convention which was held in
Birmingham.
The selection of the place of meet
ing aroused great rivalry between
Memphis and Atlanta, these two cities
being the only ones put in nomina-
ton. Strong speeches were made
for each place, but when Virginia
came over to the side of Memphis the
Atlanta supporters realized that the
fight was lost.
General Clement A. Evans, the
new commander-in-chief, is one of
the most loved men in the army. He
is native of Georgia, and born of

Look here JOe," he said, you

ON tell you something said the
next governor to the last governor;
If that card was read to the crowd

be so funny now
Now, what did l tell you? He

Joe Terrell believes, too"
Anyhow, the famous letter mystery
may be solved when the legislature
meets.
The legislature will probably hold
an investigation as to the discharge
of Mr.. Brows as railroad commission
err, and it is not at all improbable that
the legislature will ask that the let
ter be opened in order to determine
the merits of the governors act.
Mr.. Brown, it is said, has stated
that it would never be opened unless
the legislature so requests.

Brown to Governor HOke Smith,
which resulted in the latter discharg-
ing the former as railroad commits
sioner, the resignation of Little
Joe" as railroad commissioner?
Its the one big laugh of the
whole situation" said a prominent
politician Tuesday morning.
Little joe sent Hoke his resigna-
ton in a sealed envelope, marked
personal and confidential, and Hoke
thinking it was something awfully
bad, fired him. Then Little joe
ran for governor and got elected.
The big joke, of course, was that
Little joe got fired for resigning."
The politician believed this strong

why" asked the reporter, did
Little joe say that the enclosed was
a card he might have written?"
Easy pickings," answered the
wise" politician. Because it did
contain a card telling Hoke what
Little joe thought of him and
rendering his resignation, because
he didn't want to serve under him"

broadly.

is the serious note of warning sounded
by George NJ. Bowers. United states
Fish Commissioner, in his annual re-

the great destruction wrought to Ger
tain species of fish and make an ear
nest appeal for theil preservation.
Pointing to the history of the New
England salmon fishery as warning
the Commissioner declares that some
of the States seem yet absolutely indif-
ferent TO the crying needs of fisheries
for species of similar habits whose
obliteration, he says. is certain unless
radical corrective measures are taken.
Mr.. Bowers states that the fishes most
in need of consideration are the Shad,
the striped bass and the sturgeon on
the Atlantic coast and the salmons in
the Pacific States.
The disappearance of the sturgeon
from nearly every east coast riv ar Mr..
Bowers states, shows how greed and
