Hooper Alexander. of Atlanta, who
also ran for governor of Georgia last
fall has an eye on the district attor-
neyship for north Georgia. So has Tom
| Shackleford, of Athens, and Newt Nor

Milton Cooper, Of Perry; Judge c. B.

are announced candidates.
The big internal revenue plum, the

II is estimated that there will be APP

ollire something like billion dollars to
foot the salary bills
