orator, was defrauded out of 100000
1t is announced that when the cir
cult court convenes here next Tues
day all the suits against the Standard
Oil Company and it's subsidiaries will

fed before the grand jury here.

tective McLaren, who has been his GUS
todian ever since his arrest. McMani-
gal was to tell his entire story of al

His story was to lay the grounds for
the entire structure to be built up by
the government, which finally is ex-
pected to result in wholesale indict-
ments.
Local postoffice inspectors today re-
ceived instructions to investigate
charges that the federal mails had
been misused in connection with the

fund. They were instructed to turn
any evidence they might get to the

primaries to choose a successor to
Governor Hoke Smith, who resig Vi
last month to become United States
senator. are being held today in
Georgia. The primary is equivalent to-
an election.
There are three candidates in the
field for governor, and two OF them
are Browns. Former Governor Joseph
NJ. Brown, who once defeated Hoke
Smith IN the race for the governor
ship and was later defeated by Smith,
is candidate. He is opposed by Pope
Brown, former state treasurer, and
Judge Richard Russell of the court of
appeals.
The liquor question is the principal
issue. Little Joe" Brown favoring no
future legislation about liquor unless
it is submitted to the referendum.
while Pope Brown stands for the pres
ent statewide prohibition law, and
Judge Richard Russell would substi-
tute local option for the present con-
dition of state vide aridity.
The three -cornered gubernatorial
fight and the liquor issue have served
to arouse the voters of Georgia and
