Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 30.-The man who

To those who watch North Georgia

the proper time.
The closest political friends Of ex-

contest for the seat which Hoke
Smith must vacate a year from next
March, unless he is reelected, and by
the people, instead of the legislature.
"The Brown crowd is not going to

game very closely.
"And the man they are going to run
against him will be Little Joe
