Issues Statement Giving
Reasons For Not En-
tering the Race.


Atlanta, Ca, May 14.-Hon. Hoke
Smith will not be candidate for gov
ernor. He gave out the following
statement this afternoon at l o'clock:
During the past two weeks I have
received requests in various forms all
urging me to enter the race for gov
ernor, and convincing me that an ex-
tended. moyementshad begun to cause
my candidacy for that office.
while I deeply appreciate the pur-
pose of those engaged in this move
ment, l cannot see my way clear at
this time to become a candidate and I
wish to spare them useless trouble.
But for the conviction that certain
legislation then in the public mind
was absolutely necessary, l WCuld not
have entered the first race The sec
ond race Was precipitaSed before
had been in office nine months and l
entered It from sense of duty
Before the close Of my two years
as governor the important measures
for which the contest of 1906 was
made had been accomplished, and the
principals embodied in that will re-
main the policy of the state.
"If my individual preference alone
were involved I would yield the mall

went down with me in the last cleo
ton, before the forces Of opposition
which l do not believe can again be

But there are other reasons Of a
personal nature which prevent my en-
tering a heated political contest at
the present time While I cannot now
consent to enter the race for governor
l wish to assure my friends and fellow
citizens of the regret it causes me not
to comply with their wishes, and Of
my readiness, out of office, to serve
them in any way possible. shall be.

With Pair Shears by
August Meyer.


Reports reached Americus yester-
day of still anothe" bloody tragedy
in Cordele the night previous where
in Buck Wheeler, a we'll known citi-
zen of the town, was killed by Au-
gust Meyers, likewise citizen and
tailor by trade. From statements
received here, it appears that Wheeler
was having some words with his wife
the daughter of Meyers, when the
latter interfered in her behalf. In the
struggle resulting between Meyers
and Wheeler the latter received a stab
from pair of tailors shears, 1t is
said, the blow resulting in his death

DOWN COMES THE BUILDING
AND DOWN COMES THE PRICES

With the tearing down of the old
structure at the corner of Jackson and
Forsyth street to make way for the
new Ansley building, comes the an
nouncement of still further reduc-
tion in the prices in all lines of goods
carried in the extensive establishment
of Mr.. Ansley If low values will
do it nothing will be carried from the
present home of this reliable mercan-
tile house to the new one that is now
in course of construction. In every
department there has been ruthless
cutting of prices this week and today,
as a result, menu of low prices for
high value goods is set before the
public of Americus such as is sell
don offered in the history of a city.

Chinese Uprising Feared.

Washington, Oct. Reports of
possible revolutionary outbreaks in
China are causing some apprehension
among government officials, but SO
far no official reports have been re-
ceived, the information having come
from private sources.
The anti-dynastic element has been
active in several provinces, and it is
admitted that there is some occasion
for fear of an uprising. Ever since
the last Intervention both the army
and navy have arranged their plans
with a view to a possible repetition
of the outbreak. At the present time
however, there is no intention of dis
patching troops to China from the
Philippines, it was asserted at the
War Department, though all is in
readiness for such a move.

HOPE NOT ABANDONED.


Starkville, Col, Oct. 10.-There is
a chance though a slight one, that
the miners entombed in the explo-
sion in the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company's mine near here are alive.
Early today a gigantic fan was in
rescue parties succeeded in gaining
one mile on the after damp" which
filled the mine. State Mine Inspect
or Jones was in charge and said that
explosion this afternoon. There is
just chance that the men are still
alive" said Jones. The mine is the
largest in the State, with many cross
cuts and areaways. Down in the
labyrinths of tunnels are many re-
cesses that would afford a refuge. 1t
is possible that some of the men may
have found a way to safety to one
of these chambers"
Jones admits that the chance is
small and the miners who know the
mine believe all are dead.
There is still the widest discrep-
ancy between the figures of the COM
pany and the estimate of the miners
as to the number entombed. The
company says it's checks show So
miners were in the tunnels at the
time of the explosion. The miners
believe there were at least ninety.
