FOUR ARE OUT FOR
 MAYOR OF ATLANTA
Woodward, Chambers, John
 son and Brown in Race
PRIMARY OCTOBER :
Woodward Announces As Candidate on a So-Called "Anti-City Ring" Platform-Four Candidates
 Hard At 1t

Atlanta. September 15.-(Special)-It be-
 gins to look like Jim Woodward as the
 next mayor of Atlanta,
 The entries have closed and the fight is
 on full tilt with but little more than two
 falls on October ?. concurrenuy with the
 regular state election which is a more or ! less perfunctoIy affair. the results having been determined in the state primary Of August 21
 There are four candidates for mayor.
 and some of those who havc opposed Woodward in former campaigns go even to the extent of stating it as a belief that
 he will get a majority in the first election,
 making seeend primary unnecessary.
 The four candidates are:
 James c. Woodward, who has twice
 served as mayer of Atlanta and who was
 twice defeated as the result of alleged
 laches in personal conduct-one of his de-
 feats being brought about after he he'd
 been nominated in the primary, by the election of Robert r. Maddox in the resu-
 lar election.
 Aldine Chambers. lawyer and for a long l time member of the city council, one who has taken large active part in city affairs.
 Steve R. Johnson. well known real l estate auctioneer, and several times a | member of the city council 1 pr. George Brown, physician and a member of the house of representatives from Fulton county.
 Many Atantans would have been glad to have seen stronger candidate than any of these in the race, but no one of that class would undertake 10 run. so the election must be made from among these | four.
 | Woodward has announced as candl- date on a so-ealled 'anti-city ring" plat form. He says he is fighting the city hall
 crowd, which he declares has not kept | faith with the people in the matter of recognizing the city government follow | ing the failure of the commission plan. | All the other candidates are alleged to be in one Way or another identified with
 the city hall crowd
 | Here Is a characteristic remark from a wel-known business man who fought | Woodward in two former campaigns: Jim Woodward is not only honest but he is a good business man, and if he lets | liquor alone l think he would make just about as good mayor as we can get" | That expresses the sentiment among a | large number of those who have hereto | fore been Woodward's s opponents for req | sons well understood. Since his last fight
 MT. Woodward has given no cause for criticism. and there are many who seem | inclined to forgive and forget. | The four candidates are all hard at it, and the friends of none of them concede | that there is any such feeling as that
 here indicated regarding MT, Woodward g race. At the same time there IS no ques- | ton that a little street corner talk, almost
 any time or place, will develop 1t,

General Grant was nominated foi President at Chicago by the republican party for which he had never cast a vote. He had been a citizen without military connection for six years be- in politics. In all that tiue he was farmer, using slave labor. In lsbe he left his Missouri farm, hired out &i, slaves and moved with his family tc Illinois His select associates in the army were southern officers; his wife was southern born.
 So thoroughly was the republican party drilled to embrace Grant for lead CT that when the roll was called at Chi eago for the nomination every delegate more than 500, voted for him.
 Legislation by Congress in June, 1868 by which six southern states, Alabama being one, were restored to the union Hthe ratification thus made possible oi the fourteenth article of amendment ano the election in November of General Grant to the presidency were the most impressive political events of the year. These events, necessarily of determ-
 
 turned upon the purpose of the republic an party to bring the negro vote of the south to the augmentation of it's nu- merical strength. They had no other meanings.
 Flushed with victory in these and sup ported by public sympathy, the dismem- bered Congress proceeded to hasten Tor ward acts supplementary to them. The value to the party of section of the article. of amendment developed. This section in effect removed the enormous public debt from the control of the law making power in which it had it's ori- gin. to the status of vested right, 8 fixed institution In evidence of this practical transfer motion, we have the elaborate and carefully studied speech of Senator Sumner, delivered within a month of the act of Congress that leg islated the article into the constitution The senator spoke in support of the bill to fund the national debt The senator, speaking to this bill: Foremost among cer<ain practical points which must not be forgotten, put the absolute |dependence of the national finances upon the faithful performance of all our ob- legations to the national freedom. You who have at heart the national credit, on which so much depends, must never fail to cherish the national free dom, treating their enemies as if they were your enemies. Every blow at them will be returned upon yourselves. So long as any President or any political party denies the equal rights of the freedman, 1t is vain to expect specie payments The freedman and the bond holder are under the same safeguaru

De Freycinet. senator. sayant. member of the academy and former ministerof war, agrees with the proposition credited to the University of California that the Nobel peace prize should be given to the German Emperor. The aged statesman broke the silence of years today to say:
 T am satisfied that the Kaiser William is sincere friend of peace. Even in the critical days of Agadr hs voice was for peace Most of the friends around me thought otherwise, but ] knew better It would be very fitting to give the Emperor the prize of the peacemaker'

ANN|STON WORKING
 FOR NEW RAILROAD.
May Be Terminus of Line
 From Columbus, Ga.
ENGINEER IS COMING
Three or Four Routes Being Consid- cred for Proposed Railroad-Proj- ect Backed By Strong East
 ern Capital

| Anniston, September 5.(Speeial)-That Anniston may be the terminus of a new railroad to be built from Columbus, Ga, in northernly direction is considered
 more than probable. The road is the Co.,
 lumbus. Chattahoochee Valley and Gulf railway.
 Three or four routes are being consid- cred. but 1t Is thought that Annistou will more than likely be chosen. Mayor J. l.. Wixle has received a letter from the president of the road, J. John son Williams, in which the latter asks for information regarding the city as a terminus for his road. and also desires
 to send Chief Engineer and General Man ager Josiah Flournoy here to investigate
 Mayor Wikle's reply was as follows:
 Dear Sir:
 Tn reply to your favor, will urgently
 request that you have your chief engi-
 neer visit Anniston and confer with our Chamber of Commerce. Would he very glad to have your railroad reach our city. and will cheerfully do everything we can | to assist you to this end You would | be surprised at the amount of tonnage 1 that Annston furnishes the railroads on account of our large manufacturing in- terests. Anniston is said to be the second 1 city in Alabama for producing tonnage | for railroads. Yours truly. U. l.. WIKLE, Mayor | The Anniston Chamber of Commerce has l the matter in hand, and 1t is believed 1 that the chief engineer will make a visit I here in the near future.
 l Among others, besides the president. di- recty interested in the road are. Lucius l F. Humber, vice president; Samuel R. To-. ax I Thomas T. Miller, attorney. | Dispatches sent out from Columbus | state that the project is backed by strong | eastern capital, and it is believed also I that the building of the new road is en- couraged by one of the big railroad sys- | tems of the country which desires to get into this territory, either directly or through closely allied railroad com | pany.
 | That the citizens of Anniston are en- | unused over the idea is putting it very | lightly.
 Auto Scout Coming The Annistoh Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of an acceptance from Bir- mngham paper accepting the invitation of the former to have the auto scout from Birmingham, who are going to establish an east and west highway. party com- | posed of merchants and members of the Chamber of Commerce will meet them about 12 mics out and escort them into the Model City The Anniston Evening Star will have a car.
 State Normal Crowded
 For the past four days incoming trains
 have brought students 10 the State Nor nal school at Jacksonville from all parts
 of the state, and from the present indica- l tions this years enrolment will surpass | that of any previous years.

Headquarters of Secret Service Force of Mobile Division Will Remain in Selma-s5O, 900 Will Be Spent
 Improving Terminals

Selma, September 5.-(Special.)-Upon reliable information 1t was learned Sat urday that during the week a deal was closed whereby party of wealthy west erners from Waterloo, Ia. purchased 4OVo acres of land in the western part or Dal- las county owned by E. B. Martin The westerners have had an option on the land for several weeks past at go per acre, and while none of the particulars of the deal are given out, it is generally believed they paid better than that for the tract.
 1t is not known what the intention of the purchasers is in regards to the tract of land they have secured, but it is be- lieved they will divide it Into small farms which they will dispose of to white farm CTS from the west.
 Since he,f1rst of the year western capi- tai has bought a great many thousand acres of land in the section of the state west of Selma.
 Headquarters At Selma
 According to local officials of the Mobile division of the Southern railway there is no truth in the report which has been sent out from Mobile that the headquar- ters of the secret service force of the division will be moved from Selma to that city No such a change is being con templated by the head of the service To- cated in Washington is the opinion at the headquarters of the division.
 Improve Freight Terminal
 Within the next few weeks the Southern will begin the work of expending in the neighborhood of s50.ooo on improving the freight terminals, well as the building in which are located the headquarters of i, the division.
