SPELLBINDERS BUSY
Interest Greatly Increases-C Candi- dates Have Been Busy Making and Answering Charges.
 Russell Is Attacked

Atlanta, November 26--(Special.) )--F'rom this time on every stump in Georgia will have political utility, for the hot battle for governor has brought a large num- Der Of speakers out to spellbind for their favorites.
 With the election less than two weeks off, the interest has greatly increased. Candidates have been busy making charges and answering charges, until finally the apathy that first characterized the race has become a thing of the past.
 Perhaps the most interesting feature of the last week was the speech Of Judge John L. Hopkins at the rally for Joe Brown on last Tuesday evening, when he attacked Judge Russell, asking the ques- tion: Where is your third judge of the court of appeals?" While the point has been raised before. it was given weight by the fact that Judge Hopkins is one Of the most venerable and most highly respected lawyers of Georgia.
 He showed that the hope of the people is in the judiciary, and declared that no judge had the right, while holding that position, to go out and campaign for the governorship or for any other office. 'It is the truth,'' he said. "that it takes all there is in any man on this earth to meet the demands of the office of judge, to give everything on earth that he can control to discharge these duties."
 The intimation that Judge Russell was neglecting his official duties has been an- L. t-s. campaign manager. in which he declared that Russell was only using that time when court was not in session.
 During the next week there will be speeches galore for all the candidates Pope Brown has already announced a long list of engagements for the week. Ii Is as follows: Monday-Pope Brown at Eastman; Claude Worrill at Yatesvlle; O. H. Ekins at Homersville; William Up shaw at McDonough and Locust Grove, and Hooper Alexander at Forsyth. Tues day-J. H. Skelton at Danielsville; A. D. Freeman at Newman; Ed Watkins at Gainesville and Reyston: w.. w. Lambdin at Baxley, and Claude Smith at Fay vile. Wednesday-Pope Brown at Colum- bus; E. l..
