Will BEGIN THE Fight
IN LINEUP OF FORCES
Brown and Smith to Start
Ball Rolling.
Especial to 7 mes-Recorder.)

Atlanta, Ga, June Ex-Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown has not yet opened
his campaign headquarters, nor sys-
tematized his plans in his campaign
for reelection. Inquiry a his office
today developed the fact that many
kilograms and letters had been re-
ceived giving assurances of support
In some instances reports were made
Of the organizat on of Joe Brown
clubs.
1t was stated this morning that the
governor had not yet named a cam
paign manager.
The governor has stated a number
of times that he will make no speeches
and will not leave his office to enter
into the campaign
/ To all intents and purposes the an
nouncement Of former Governor IIoke
Smith, who is, of course, recognized
as Mr. Browns strongest opponent, has
not frightened the supporters of the
present admin s5ration. A big figQt
is expected, and preparations will be
made for it.
One thing may be put down as GER
tain in the coming contest. There will
be no mudslinging on either side. 1t
is tile concensus of op Mon that the
gubenatoriaI fight will be fought en-
tirely on its merits.
Hoke Smith will manage his own
campaign for governor, that is to say
there will be no campaign manager but
Mr. SIN tn himself will give the de-
tails of the race his own personal at
tention.
Tn campaign headquarters will pc
located on the fifth floor of the Peters
building which is two floors below
Mr. Smiths law offices. The bead
quarters comprise six offices, afford
ing sufficient room for Mr.. Smith, his
private secretary, Norris Harralson,
and force of clerks.
Late today the work of installing the
furniture and office appliances was
begun at the headquarters, and they
are now opened and ready for bust
ness.

LesI e, Ca, June 27.-One of the
enjoyable entertainments of the sea-
son was given Friday evening at the
home of Mrs. j. A. Laramore. Il was
expressly for the young men of the

where a table was set with everything
THAT could be desired to satisfy the

Every one did justice to the feast
before them, and let it be understood

bullets for a second time crashed into
the Bostwick home, cleaving through

every corner of the building appar-

An answering shot came, it is said

On the front of the house are tr5o

Tile wheels of the mills of justice
whirred again yesterday within the
temple walls in the trial of jail cases
before Judge Charles r. Crisp. of the
City court, and not a few addit ons
were made to the zebraic ranks on the
county roads
Solicitor Childers was in the box for
the state and the opposition went out
rapidly on strikes.

by the grand jury upon the charge of
cheating and swindling, or rather con
tract jumping, was adjudged guilty
and viii either pay a fine or go the
Christian way.
Hudgins was employed upon ii
farm near Americas, and left the JOB
Wit lie indebted to his employer.
w. II. Brockman, another white mar,
was tried upon the charge of vagrancy,
but the jury refused to take that view
of the case.
The defendant was represented by
Messrs. James and John Allen Fort.

it was merely ante pating the end by
few minutes. Wounded as he was, a
speedy death was inevitable, although
it is quite probable that some of the
wounds were made by bullets that
poured into the room after death had
come.

murderer ,had pulled the bedstead and
on this had apparently stood willis

the door. clng out man from the
attacking force he could carefully
take m and fire and then drow down
behind the mattresses. A bullet that
penetrated the door could not find It's
way through the protecting shield.
The bullets that had found the muir
derer's body had come from an angle
through the front or side of the
dwelling and caught him whore there
was no protecting bedding to check
them. How many times Bostwick was
wounded before he fell to the floor
will never be known. Protected as
he was, he could have picked and kill
ed dozen men, using revolver and
shotgun against them. It needed ar
my weapons to put a quietus to his
career
