The GeOrgia Election.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-The betting
today is 2 to / that Lon +. Livingston,
congressman from the Atlanta district
for twenty years, will be defeated IN to-
morrow's primaries by William Schley
Howard, a young attorney, who made
his campaign on the grounds that Liv-
ingston, a democrat, was too close to
Speaker Cannon. A governor, ten con
gresham and the state officers are TO be
nominated in the democratic primaries,
which will be equivalent to election.
Hoke Smith, former governor and sec
rotary of the interior, in Cleyeland's
cabinet, is candidate against Gov.
Joseph Brown, son Of Georgia's famous
war governor. Smith, who so over
whelmingIy defeated Clark Howell,
editor Of the Atlanta Constitution and
democratic national committeeman
from Georgia, was just as overwhelm-
ingly defeated two years by Brown
whom he had removed as railroad
Commissioners, and the Howell backing.
The race between Smith and Brown
has been especially bitter

ASLEEP ON THE TRACK.

A few days ago a darkey, who lives
near Quantico, visited this city. He
proceeded to the union passenger depot
in the evening for the purpose OF
boarding a train for his home, and,
having to wait for its arrival, stretched
himself on the southbound track and
was soon dreaming Of cake walks and
watermelons. A southbound train APP
pneared in the distance, and at this
inncturc Mr.. L. o. Hardin, the baggage
agent, saw the negro on the track with
the train dangerously near the sleeper.
The baggage agent, at the risk OF his
own life, seized the darkey and threw
him several feet from the track, barely
in time to save him from being ground
to pieces by the train which was rushed
into the depot.

A PLEASANT SUNDAY.

The temperature yesterday was mid
and by no means uncomfortable. The
mornings and nights are now suggestive
Of early fall. According to the Weather
Bureau, a chilly cool wave, preceded
by a warm spell, will arrive in few
days. The cold wave was scheduled to
start up in the northwestern states
about today, and will work its way
down toward this section, arriving
about Friday or Saturday. Before the
chilly wave gets to this vicinity 1t IS
predicted that the weather will be
moderately warm.
According to a New York sage, we
will have an early winter this year.
Like the augurs Of old, he bases his
prediction upon the flight of birds.

Eipbteen sailors Drowned.

London, Aug. %. Eighteen sailors
of the British cruiser Bedford lost their
lives in the grounding of the cruiser on
Quelpart Island, a part of Corea, lying
at the entrance to the yellow Sea, ac-
cording to Exchange Telegraph dis
patches today.
The Bedford went aground yesterday,
while en- route with the British squad
ron from Wei-Hai-Wei to Nagasaki.
She is under command OF Captain
Fihhubert and had crew OF 6S7.
The position of the Bedford is con-
sidered 50 perilous that the survivors
have been taken off. The English
cruiser Minotaur and Monmouth at
tempted to go to the aid of the Bed
ford, but were forced to put to sea
owing to heavy storm. 1t is feared
she will be a total wreck. The vessel
was built in 1908 at a cost OF 50, 500,-
600.
The hole torn in the Bedford when
she struck was so large that the engine
room. in which the deaths occurred,
filled so rapidly that the victims had
no chance to escape.
