PROSECUTOR PROSECUTOR WOOD
 CANDIDATE AGAIN
WAS PROPOSED AT BAPTIST RE- cEPTIoN FOR GOVERNOR, BUT
 REPLIES IN NEGATIVE.
Will Make the Race for Prosecutor, However, to Meet the Answer of
 the Reform Element.

Called upon to become a candidate for governor, or at least proposed for that high office in a part of the reception ceremonial which welcomed Rev. Tate of the First Baptist church here Thursday night, 'J. B. Wood has answered that he will not be a candidate for governor. On the other hand Prosecutor wood announces that he has been urged to stand for reelection as prosecuting attorney in this district and that he will do so.
 There mas been much speculatin re- gently as to whether he would be a candidate for reflection, and inasmuch as he has very probably sacrihced a large law business for the first term it had been predicted that he would retire from political activity ana would take up the legal business again.
 There is no doubt but that Pros ecutor Wood will be a strong factor politically, inasmuch as he submits his candidacy along lines entirely dif- ferent from the others, and there VIII probably be several candidates in the field.
 Already it is apparent that Kepres entatiye George P. Wilmington ana Judge M. s. Cobb will be candidates, with talk of others from this city entering the race. It is not believed that Montgomery county will nave candidate.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, Aug 1l.-"Orders for

 crate improvement in the trade situ. ation, house as well as road sales, expanding in fair degree. Many vis- iting buyers are in the country's
 leading marketf and ylose hailing from the cotton growing sections of the south and southwest are dispos- ed to purchase quite freely. Talk rom buyers in general is optimistic enough but withal purchases on the
 whole show khat considerable eau tion prevails. This especially Is ap- parent among those catering to the cereal producing regions, where crops underwent further deterioration in July. It is noteworthy, however, rnas recent rains nave made for better feeling as regards corn crop results and in consequence merchants are fostering more roseate anticipatIons, though still acting conservatively Cautious buying heretofore has Kept stocks within controliable bounds and the advance of the season together with the arrival of buyers snoulc bring about further seasonable in- crease in trade.

WOULD REVOKE
 SALOON LICENSE
DEPUTY PROSECUTOR WOOD WILL FILE PETITIONS IN THE
 COUNTY COURT.
Violating the Law by Opening on the Sabbath is the Direct Complaint
 of the Prosecutor.

When Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
 Scott Wood files motions today in
 the county court for the revoking of
 saloon licenses where the holders
 have been convicted of violations of
 the Sabbath law, there will be brought
 up question as to the legality of
 the movement.
 Formerly there has been inserted
 in tnelicense issued, a provision which
 is to the effect that the licensee shall be deprived of his license in the event he is convicted of violating the
 state laws in the regulation of the liquor traffic.
 There has been much contention as to whether a county judge had the right 10 make any special provision in the issuance of a license, other than to merely pass on and grant or refuse the regular applications, and Tor this reason no special provision was attached to the licenses issued last year for the present year.
 The question of the revocation or saloon licenses is tangled one. The prosecutor is of the opinion that Tn the event any saloon dealer violates the state law his license shall be re. Voked, while the attorneys for the sN loon men know of no further punish ment for violating the law than to fine the violator within the minimum and maximum fixed by the statutes, so there the contention will be made.
 In the meanwhile Constable Car penter is managing to keep Sunday lid violations reduced 10 a min. mum because of prompt arrests of all violators that come to his obser. vation' and ne has taken positive stand that this crusade will continue through his term of office.
