HOKE SMITH SOON LEAVES
TO VISIT PACIFIC SLOPE
Former Governor Maintains
Silence Relative to Guberna-
. toriaI RumorS in State

Former Gov. Hoke Smith is about the
only person in Georgia who is not dis
cussing the gubernatorial rumors that
have been thick and fast for several days
throughout the state.
When asked If he had any announce
ment to make relative to the report that
he would oppose Gov. Joseph M. Brown
for governor, Governor Smith maintained
the same silence that has marked his at
titude on the subject.
IT am going to the Pacific coast soon, y
said the former governor, land will be alb
sent for about a month, during which
time 1 will deliver several addresses for
which 1 have accepted invitations re-
Gently 1 shall not have anything to say
on the matter of the gubernatorial cam
paign until 1 return from California, and
possibly not then"
The former governor said he was decsln-
ing all invitations from lecture lyceums
that would in any way conflict with the
practice of his chosen profession, and
intended to give all the time and energy
necessary to his practice.
Further reference to the governorship
only evoked a smile

Governor of State of Georgia
Somewhat Peeved at the
Editor of The Journal

The governor of Georgia has become
peeved with the editor of The Journal
and has administered him delicate lit
he has retired to his inner sanctum ap-
parently very well satisfied with himself
1t all came about through the fact that
The Journal in an entirely decorous fash
ion requested the governor to give the
public some explanation of why he had
held I'D the purchase OF the land for the
purposed new terminals for the Western
and Atlantic at Chattanooga. 1t was a
carefully-worded request, so it was, but
the governor of the state of Georgia did
not like 1t one little bit. So he carefully
prepared a reply in his own handwrit-
ing, had II typed for the press and then
chucked AN exultant little chuckle. Here
is what the governor OF the state Of
Georgia allows to the editor of The At
lanta Journal: -
THE editor OF The Atlanta Journal Is
laboring under the misconception that
he is the people of Georgia, whereas he
Is only one OF about $4,000 white male
eitizess, either one Of whose opinion or
demand is as .weighty as his. Coupled
with this misconception is his impress
sion that'it is the duty of the governor OF
Georgia to report to The Atlanta Jour
nal. That is also a palpable error. 1t
Is the duty of the governor to report TO
the general assembly. That body will con-
vene on the last Wednesday of next June.
I'm the meantime, speaking quite per-
sonally, / will state that on June 4. 1905,
the sovereign people of Georgia gave me
an order not to report to The Atlanta
Journal. That order 1 can be depended
to obey"

OF JAP HATRED AT FRISCO

TOKYO Feb. 24.-Spectal dispatches

speech Of Leslie NJ. Shaw. former Sec
rotary of the treasury az Morristown,
y. j.. last Tuesday, in which he is re
ported as having said that war between
the United States and Japan was in
rv1table. The speech has caused a most
gI.nrny impression amons Japanese and
foreigners alike.
The specials quoted Maj. Gen. ].
Franklin Bell as having said that war
between the two counties was likely
to break out at any moment. The press
and the public are unable to understand
the reasons for these violent utter
ances.
The Asahi Shimbun and the Jill print
long specials from San Francisco quoting
Mr.. Shaw's speech. Commenting upon
this speech the papers remark the coin
cidence in the receipt of these dispatches
at a time when preparations are being
made at Yokohama and this city for re-
ception to 700 Americans aboard the
steamer Cleveland, which is due at Yoko-
hama tomorrow morning
Editorially the papers repudiate the sug-
gestion that Japan is seeking the con-
troll of the Pacific, and declare that Amer
lean competition will be welcomed.

WOMAN BARELY ESCAPES
Death IN STORMS FURY
y
House Falls at Elberton and
Miss Daisy Terrell Misses
Death by Few Inches
Especial Dispatch to Tn. JOurnai.)

EAToNToN, Ca, Feb. A.-During
heavy wind and rainstorm Miss Daisy
Terrell had a narrow escape from death
in falling house. The accident occurred
at the home Of Mr.. VIII Denham, just
outside the city limits. Miss Terrell had
gone into the yard during a slight shower,
and when the wind began to blow with
such cyclonic fury, she with her nephew,
took refuge in a wood house in tho
yard.
She stood close up TO a gasoline engine
in the house which partly protected her
from the force of the fall of the roof. To
ee the complete wreck OF the house seems
to make a miracle of the escape from
injury of the inhabitants. The storm did
considerable damage to farm houses out
in the country.

Izlar will meet with the teachers of the
city schools at their regular meeting
tomorrow afternoon and will lecture to
them on preventable diseases, paying
special attention to tuberculosis. DR..

to have one day in each month set apart
by the board of education for instruction
to the pupils by local physicians on health
topics. This work is being done in con-

a great deal OF good.

him. If you ever bring anything like

The next time Pavluha came he

stuffed it into the bottle until the
bread was all crumbs

brought wasn't at all suited for bag,
