SENATE RACE
Is INTERESTING
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT is Ex-
PEcTED SOON FROM CON-
GRESHAM BRANTLEY.
Report That Hoke Smith Will Not
Be in the Race is Generally Cred
ited-May Be 6rantIey VS.. Terrell
in the End.

While no definite announcement
las yet been made by Gov.-elect Hoke
Smith, as TO whether or not he will
be in the race for the United States
senate, close friends OF the governor
elect have stated during the past few
days ticat he will not be candidate
for the place, but will serve out his
twO-year term as governor
Ii this report is correct, and it is
generally credited, then Congressman
w. G. Brantley, of this city, will lie
candidate for the senate in opposi-
ton to J. M. Terrell the present in
cumt.ent, who was appointed by Gov.
who will only serve until the legisIa-
ture elects his successor in June.
And while several other prominent
GeOrgians are mentioned as probable
candidates, it is believed that the race
will finally narrow down to these two
candidates, unless Congressman Hard
wick decides to get into the race. The
contest between Mr. Brantley and Mr..
Terrell would be an interesting une
to say the least of it. They have botn
been members of the same faction Of
the democratic party in Georgia in re-
cent years. therefore they would like
ly divide the strength of this wing
of the party and it would no doubt be
a fight for the members of the legis-
lature, who are known to be Hoke
Smith advocates.
1t is generally admitted, net only
ly Hoke Smiths friends, but by his
political enemies as well, that if he
allows the use of his name he will
lie elected to the place by the legisla-
ture. There is no doubling that fact,
and that is the reason why no definite
announcement has been made other
than the one of Senator Terrell. But
if Hoke Smith decides to serve out
his term as governor, the question
arises as to what position he wiz
take on the senatorial situation. 1t
is known that he is politically oppos-
ed to Senator Terrell and would not
lend him any assistance at all, and,
while he and Congressman Brantley
have never been political friends, he
would, between the two, it is believed,
support the local congressman. 1t is
believed however, that if Gov. Smith
does not become a candidate himself
he will hands off all together.
The situation is becoming very III
teresting and within the next few
days two announcements may De
made, one from Gov. Smith that he
will not be in the rcae, and another
from Congressman Brantley that he
is a candidate for the senate.

A WONDERFUL PICTURE AT
THE PASTIME MONDAY

The Red Cross Seal" produced in
cooperation with the National Asso-
citation for the Study AMI Prevention
of tuberculosis and the American Ma
tional Red Cross society.
New York City with its five mil
lions of inhabitants, is quite natural
ly a city of extremes. Like all great
cities, it touches the highest and the
lowest in the social scale. Heo we
are shown a poor young girl who is
struggling for existence by painting,
and who, after accumulating few
dollars gives it all to her neighbor's
son so that he may be cured of the
awful white plague. We are shown
the work of the district nurses, the
open air day camp on top of the Van
dert lit Clinic, and the great work be-
ing done to stamp out this, the great
est curse of the White race.
