SPLIT EVEN IN FULTON
MAY BROWN AND SMITH
Managers of Both Sides in
Claim Contest.
Together They Claim SO
Counties More Than
the State of Georgia
Possesses.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Atlanta, Ga, August Aft claims
constitute evidence of any value, the
Hoke Smith campaign managers are
not quite so confident of the out
come as are those in charge of Gov.
Browns Headquarters. Just a week
after Manager Ed Maddox of the Joe
Brown campaign came out with his
clalm OF l26 counties for his candi-
date, Manager H. Y. McCord for Hoke
Smith comes forward with an earnest
and insistent claim of 10 counties
for Mr. Smith.
This would be an increase of forty
five counties over the number carried
by Mr.. Smith in 1908, but Mr.. McCord
has it figured out.
Gov. Brown carried in 1908 somn-
thing over eighty counties, so that on
basis of even division of the coun-
ties, large and small, he cannot af
ford to lose even as many as ten
II he is to be successful in the con-
vention.
GOV. Browns majority in Fulton in
1908 was 1000, but the Registered
vote this year is 1000 less than it
was then, being something less than
l4,0OO. 1t is generally believed that
the smaller registration will cut lit
tie figure; that the two candidates Will

Gov. Brown has not enjoyed the same
advantage as was enjoyed by GOV.
Smith in having the legislature with
him. Gov. Smith was enabled to do
things through having friendly leg
islarture. The present legislature also
has Smith majority in both houses.
and as a result Gov. Brown has not
been able to get through much of the
legislation to which he is committed
1t is doubtful if the present legisla-
ture will put through any more of the
Brown measures; the Smith majority
don't want to give him that satisfac-

Liverpool, Eng, August 4.-Speakine
at the Conference Of Ladies on Domes-

William r. Smith, Principal of the
Royal Institute Of Pubic Health, has
some caustic remarks to make on the
practice of giving wedding presents.
Because wedding presents were SO
often much more lavish tLan the cir
cumstances of the donor or recipients
rightly permitted, he said, the giving
OF them inclined young people to imae-
me that tJay could slothfuIly starr
lie where their parents left off. it
was therefore immoral.
Enlarging on the subject afterward
Professor Smith was most emphatic
and sweeping in his condemnation of
TIE wedding gift custom
The weak and extravagant manner
in which great number of wage-eqrn-
ers give golden teapots, heavy silver
inkstands and plate and jewelry of all
kinds to friends getting married sure
ly justifes men in condemning the
practice" he said. "Tn nine cases out
of ten, however, money is much the
