|SMITH OR JOE TERRELL
Seems The PROBLEM
Situation is Discussed in
Atlanta.

Atlanta, December 19.-The sena-
torship contest has subsided for a
time, but the wise politicians are still
tying to figure out Hoke Smiths at
titude, inasmuch as Mr.. Smith has not
yet, publicly at least, dropped any
sign or semblance of a. hint upon
which to hang satisfactory theory.
There are those who believe he will
not be in the race, upon the theory
that, having just been elected COVER
nor, his candidacy would be inoppor-
tune, and he will serve his term and
wait patiently.
They believe this will be his atti-
Jude whether primary is called or
not, and of course, the question OF
calling a primary or leaving the cleo
ton to the legislature without sugges-
ton or interference on the part of the
people, is wholly in the hands of Mr..
Smiths friends.
Then there are those who believe
that with Mr.. Smith it is purely a
question of sizing up the situation
that if he sees he can be elected, or
thinks he can, he will go into it for
all it is worth.
In the meantime Senator Terrell is
Washington and his friends think
he is safe, though he may not have
the situation 'sewed up in a bag"
Somehow very little Importance IS
attached to the candidacy either Of
Judge w. A. Covington, of Colquitt,
or Congressman T. w. Hardwick, of
the Tenth. Judge Covington is regard
ed as the more prepossessing senate
: jal timber of the two.
But whether Hoke Smith decides tC
so in for it or not, it may be taken
as definitely settled that his faction
is going to give Senator Terrell the
fG hit of his life for the job.

CARE OF PACKAGES In
SHIPPING AT XMAS
Send EARLY and Avoid Late
Delivery.

Amerieus gift-givers ar ebusy jus
now preparing Christmas packages
and the express and postoffices here
will be flooded this week, as hereto
fore, in an avalanche of boxes and
bundles for the friend far away:
Here are some good rules to fol-
low in the matter of shipping Christ
mas packages by express:
Ship your packages early that they
may get to destination and be deliv-
cred to the consignee in ample time
for Christmas. Send postal card no
tice to the consignee advising of the
shipment of the package.
Use wooden boxes for packing-it
may cost few cents more, but the
danger of loss or damage is very much
reduced.
Write the address in full on the
box with ink or crayon-tags are fro
quently torn off and lost
When packages are sent to a city
the street and number should always
be shown.
Do not mark anything with card
marks tackled on-they are easily rub
bed off.
Insist on a receipt and see that the
amount paid is on the receipt and the
value of the package declared thereon
Write your own address in full in
the left-hand corner of the package
and inclose a card in the package
bearing your address, that you may
be notified in event of loss of con
signee's address.
Use strong paper, not newspaper
if not convenient to ship in boxes
and tie with cord
If the box contains anything Of &
perishable nature write the word per
ishnble in large letters on the box
to insure special attention for it's de-
livery
Remember that glass will not carry
without breakage, unless properly
packed. If you send a jar of pre-
serves in a package of nice dress
goods and the jar breaks you Will
spoil your goods.
Do not put any money or yaluables
whatever in freight package. The
wav to chin rnonav ic +0 mt II bv
itself and take a money receipt for it.
Otherwise the express companies are
not liable.
If the above suggestions are OBJ
served by all it will assist in assur-
ing prompt delivery of all Christmas
pr, scl is in good condition

TOURING CAR UPSET In
TRIP TO AMERICUS
Occupants Are PiniORed By
Heavy Car.

Mr. Jake Heard, prominent citi-
zen of Vienna, with four friends, had
a close call yesterday while speeding
to Americus aboard Mr.. Heard's E. NJ.
F. touring car. While descending a
grade the car turned turtle and all
the occupants were thrown out, three
of them being pinned beneath the
car. The other young men came to
the rescue and after the car was adj
justed the party, not one of whom was
hurt, continued the trip here, where
Mr. Heard purchased a new e. M r.
of the latest model The fact that
none of the young men were injured
was indeed remarkable.

BANNER DAY IN TRADE
and BUYERS ARE BUSY
Yesterday Best of Holiday
Season.

Americus stores were crowded yes
terday as on no other day since the
season of holiday buying began two
weeks ago. Not only were Americus
people in the throng of shoppers, but
those from every town and hamlet
within a radius of thirty miles joined
in the jam to buy Christmas goods.
And this fine record will be surpass-
ed today and tomorrow.
Christmas this year comes on Sun
day. The Saturday of December "a
will be a day of anxiety to all who
delay in shopping and a day of tor
ture to the poor men and women who
will have to remain behind the count
ers until the midnight hour.
The great trouble with most people
is the habit of procrastinating. They
seem to accept the Chinese proverb
and never do today what they can
off until tomorrow.
Christmas has, of late years, so far
degenerated into q season of gift-giv-
ing that the real sentiment which
should accompany the day is almost
forgotten by the average person.
Christmas is not an anniversary, a
feast day, an occasion of pleasure
making indigenous to any one coun-
try or cline. 1t is the great celebra-
tion of the Christian world and should
be commemorated in way fitting the
birth of Christ
Since it has become a day of gift
giving and since the gifts must either
be made or purchased in advance, let
the sensible woman do her shopping
now; do it today.
