Washington, May 5.-Senator Dolli-

the cotton schedule of the tariff bill

could show tnat the attacks on the
cotton and wool schedules were not
well founded He gave notice that
if the senate continued the debate
night sessions would be held. This
threat, it is expected, will hasten the

so unpopular in the senate as night

COFFEE HAS TWO IN RACE
FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL

The race for solicitor general of
the Brunswick circuit promises to be
a warm one.
The Waycross Herald. referring to
the candidacy of Judge Willis f. Dart,
formerly Of this city but now resi-
dent of Douglas, says:
The Douglas papers state editorial
" that Judge Dart, of that city, Will
be a candidate for the solicitorship
OF the Brunswick circuit in the forth
coming primary Judge Dart is well
known and is very popular in his own
county and throughout the district,
and he will doubtless be warmly sup
ported. No one doubts his compe-
tencv and ability. This gives Coffee
county two candidates for the solici-
torship and we doubt If any other
county will furnish an equal number
though it is quite likely that other
candidates will be in the field. Ware
county may be heard from later as
also Appling and Glynn.'
