GETTING READY TO BEGIN.
Brown and Smith Will Push Their
Respective Campaigns With Vigor.


ATLANTA, June 27.-Whatever
effect the entry of Judge Hart into
the gubernatorial race may have it
will not mean the retirement of
either Brown or Smith.
Both parties are making vigorous
preparations for an active campaign.
Inc Smith people will take pos
session of their Headquarters in the
Peters building in the next dav or
two, and friends of Brown have Sc
cured the same quarters in the KIM
pail House, rooms 108, 100 and 10,
which they had two years ago.
Close Race Expected.
1t will be some days before the real
campaign breaks loose. Not a cam
palgn marked by the usual pyrotech-
MICS, mind you. But "a calm and
ouslness-llke presentation, ct cetra. :"
It's hard to conceive such a thing in
Georgia. But the candidates both
say that's the way they are going
TO pull off this race; and since it's
theirs, or partly theirs anyway, so
be it.
Looking at the race from a serious
angle it gives promise of being one
OF the closest in the history of the
state. The best informed politicians
IN this town are honestly in doubt
as to the result. Leaving out par
tisan judgment which isn't worth a
rap, the conCensus of opinion is that
1t will be mighty close.

OF Historical Interest

(Under this caption the Courier will
publish biographical sketches Of his
orical characters In this country, on
the anniversary Of their birth)
James Buchanan. fifteenth Presi-
dent Of the United States, born, Stony
Batter, FRANKLIN county, Pa, April o.,
1891: died in Lancaster, Pa, June l.,
1858. His father by birth was an
freshman, who had quilted Europe In
1888, and established himself on
farm at Stony Batter. The son was
educated at Dickinson college, Car
Isle, where he graduated. He subse-
ouently entered the Office of James
Hopkins Of Lancaster to study law,
and was admitted to the bar in 1872.
Although holding Federalist opinions
at this time he supported the War OF
1872. In 1914 he was elected to the
legislature Of Pennsylvania, and in
1o2y was sent to congress, Of which
he continued a member until 1881, be-
ing reelected four times. He then
entered upon career of diplomacy,
being charged by President Jackson
with a special mission to Russia for
the conclusion of a commercial treaty.
On his return, in 1888, he was elected

DATE A ANNOUNCED.
May Fl Is Time Set For Rural Car
riers' Examination at Post

There will be an examination for
rural route mail carriers held in the
postoffice in the Amory, May Fl, that
may prove Of interest to many in the
county who have been waiting for the
announcement Of the time set for the
examination. The time is still almost
a month distant and has just been
stated in q letter to the local post
master, F. A. Nimocks. This examina-
ton differs somewhat from that at
which the city carriers and clerks take
to secure the position Of postal EN-
ploye. In the rural route carriers
test, the highest per cent shown by
any person taking the quiz, will give
the applicant first place in line for
the position. A substitute, however,
who has served six months previous to
the examination, has five points to his
credit.

HOW 70 GET GOOD ROADS.

Tho Council Bluffs Nonpareil
onotes from report made by the
American commercial agent at St.
rtienne. France, to show the effect
Of the roads of that country, held to
be the best in the world, upon the
material prosperity of the French
people. The portion Of the report
quoted follows:
"The road system Of France has
been Of far greater value to the coun-
try as a means of raising the value
of lands and OF putting the small
peasant proprietors In easy communl-
cation with their markets than have
the railways. It is the opinion OF we'll
informed Frenchmen who have made
practical study Of economic prob
lens that the superb roads Of France
have been one of the most steady and
potent contributions to the material
development and marvellous financial
elasticity of the country. The far
reaching and splendidly maintained
road system has distinctly favored
the success of the small landed pro-
p1etors and in their prosperity and
in the ensuing distribution Of wealth
lies the key to the secret of the won
derful financial vitality and solid
prosperity OF the French nation"
These roads of France, the Non
pareil adds, did not spring from mag
ic. They were not brought about In
some hokus-pokus manner that didn't
require the outlay of money. The
people Of France went down into
their pockets to pay for these roads.
In round numbers the cost is put at
s612.77b, 900. Any time our people in
an area OF equal size to France

lieyes they will have something to
talk about in the road line

The census committee Of the Com
mercial association has adopted a
resolution calling upon "the proprie-
tors Of all business houses, manufac-

cieties, hotels, and other estab' fsh-
ments and organizations to request
their employees or members to see
that the census enumerators have re-
corded their names, and those Of
their families, friends and acquain-
tances." A number Of instances have
been recorded where the enumerators
after repeated calls have been I'M
able to find the people they seek.
These parties should make 1t their

Buchanan was Entrusted with the
functions OF Secretary OF State. The
annexation of Texas and the war with
Mexico were the chief events of his
administration. During the presidency
OF General Taylor he retired from pub
lie life. In 1853 Gen. Pierce, on being
elected president, named him ambas-
sador of the United States at London.
He held this appointment until 1855
The Central American boundary and
the project Of the annexation Of Cuba
were the principal subjects discussed
during his embassy With Mason and
Soule he signed the Ostend manifesto
which recommended the acquisition OF
Cuba While maintaining with ability
the views of his own country, he gam

deputed by the prudence and moderate
tone of his diplomacy. He returned
to America In 1856. being chosen as
candidate for the presidency by the
Democratic party He was elected by
a large majority over Fremont, the
Republican candidate, and inaugurated
in March, 1857.

Of secession. His character Of states

considered that the position of ruler
holding office as the locum tenens or
his successor is not favorable to
vigorous administration in a different
crisis. He took up the position that
while the states had no right to Sc
cede, the nation had no power to pre-
vent their doing so. He supported the
administration of Lincoln, and lent MS
influence to the vigorous prosecution
Of the war declaring that the north
would sustain the administration al
most to q man, and that it ought to be
sustained at all hazards.
