HAS A CLEAR FIELD
Conceded That ]. P. Bowie
VIII Be Postmaster

Atlanta, May Gas the news sits
down from Washington, it appears now
practically assured that j. Park Bowie
will succeed John R. Barclay as post
master at Rome, when the change
there is made.
This means, as has been intimated,
that Mrs. Wilson's personal interest IN
her old friend and her intimation that
she would like to have him appointed
to the place, will have force, thereby
eliminating all the other prospective
candidates
While it is known that Congressman
Gordon Lee, of the Seventh, has per-
sonally favored John NJ Vandiver, now
tax collector of Floyd, he will not urge
or press the claims of his man unde
these circumstances. 1t is improba-
Bile that Mr.. Vandiver himself will in

sured that the appointment is to go ~

bled his horses in a church The
Russian nation has long since for
given his wild dream OF conquest, but
never has. and never Will. forgive
him for that act of sacrilege." The
Germans also treasure a grudge
against Napoleon for turning the Ca

Yet these acts were probably not in
tended to be saerilegious, for another
recent book, says 1t is among the
many things to the credit of Napoleon
that, as soon as he came into power,
he restored all the desecrated
churches of Paris TO their original
uses as places of worship"

PRIMARIES NEXT YEAR

Harlow's Weekly, pretty wen post
ed authority on state politics, prilis
the following regarding the probable
lineup OF candidates in the state pri-
maries next year:
The shock OF the announcement from
Gov. cruce that he might enter the
senatorial race has been succeeded by
an extremely analytical turn on the
part OF the politicians. The full
knowledge tfiat the governor is actual
ly thinking about it has caused much
speculation. When a governor says
that he viii submit to a popular de
mand there are many who believe
that the popular demand will be forth
coming, for such is the history OF the
political game The army Of appointees
together with their friends, are with
out competition when it comes to ere
attn gpating popular demands. and it is
the inyariable rule that he would even
listen to a popular demand it is forth
coming.
