Smith Might Again
Manage Atlanta Team

Atlanta, Ca, August 19-The
Atlanta baseball team is appar-
entity doomed to stay in the cellar,
and Atlanta fans, like fans every
where, are roasting the club and
the players, but there's at least
one supporter of the Crackers
whose loyalty has not waned and
whose liberality has not been at
fected by the long losing streak.
He is Preston Arkwright, the
clubs chief owner and generally
conceded to be the games truest
sport in this city. Although the
fans have not always approved the
M anagers selected, nor a good
many of the players, they don't
criticise Arkwrlght. They know
that he has spent $4,000 this
season, for example, trying to
build up the team and that he
spent money like water last year.
They know, also, that whatever
may be the fate of franchises in
other Southern league towns, At
lanta will never lose hers through
a case of cold feet by the franchise
owners.
The news that Billy Smith will
probably come back next year as
manager has been hailed with de-
light and everyone expects the
flag to float again over Ponce de
Leon park.

In the daytime the boys go

fine fishing, hunt small game, and
play base ball and other games
near their camp.
In the evening it is their wont
to tune up guitars, mandollns,

Next Governor Will
Be Decided Tomorrow

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19-In one
more day will begin the battle'cf
ballots, to determine who Georgia's
next Governor, legislature and
state house officials are to be.
Hon. John M. Slaton's last word
before the election has been issued.
1t is quiet, dignified review OF
his stand on the main issues of the
campaign.
Regal ding his failure to make
any extended speechmakiDg tour,
Mr.. Slaton frankly says that he
was too busy with the Legislature
and the farmers were too busy
cultivatlng their crops.
He upholds the judiciary of the
state; advocates policy of econo-
my in handling the states finances;
advocates permanent registration
law; advocates the county unit
plan; opposes the sale of the Wes-
tern & Atlantic railroad; advocates
liberal appropriations for public
education, and urges he need for
co-oneration between the state and
the agricultural interests; and adj
vocates an efficient health depart
ment.
A statement issued by campaign
headquarters of Hon. Hooper
Alexander disputes the claim that
a majority of the members of the
Legislature are supporting Mr..
Slaton, and disputes the claim that
he is getting any support from the
Anti-Saloon league readers or the
members of the w. G. T. u. Both
these organizations are claimed to
be for Alexander. The statement
further claims that the travelling
men of the state are supporting
Alexander. The statement takes
occasion to roast the papers that
have refused to print, free of
charge, the Alexander platform.
