(?HALL.EN
FOR FIGHT
SEEN IN
BOOM
SIatonites Profess to See Hand
of Hoke Smith, Governors
Ancient Foe, in Move.

While Governor Slaton him-
self is reticent about the mat
ter of Congressman Hardwick $
prospective candidacy for the
unexpired term of Senator
Bacon, it unquestionably has
been accepted by the Governor S
friends generally as direct chal
lenge to combat, and is being
treated accordingly in hotel
lobby gossip and elsewhere.
II is not stating a sensationally In
teresting fact to say that there are
two factions in Georgia politics ore
of which is headed by Senator Hok
Smith, and the other is headed by
Governor slaton.
That there never has been any 20 (
litical love lost between Smith and
Slaton Is a statement that viii not
be disputed.
Governor Slatons friends nov are
saying. however, that the candidacy
Of Congressman Hardwick plainly IS
deliberate attempt to "hunt troG
BILE" and that 1t may prove success
full.
Blame Senator Smith.
, Congressman Hardwick is ad
mittedlv closer to Senator Smith than
any other person In Georgia. ami
while the Senator may not have had
anything whatever to do with start
ing the HardwielS boom, 1t evidently
may be a hard matter to make the
slatonites believe II.
The general assumption among no
iitical observers has been that Cow
ernor Slaton was to be candidate
for Senator Bacon's unexpired term.
and that, therefore, IL Senator Smiths
friends let Siaton alone. there would
be small excuse for Slaton to disturb
the serenity Of Smiths dreams
In that event, the State might busy
itself at planting crops and pursuing
the primrose path Of peace.
With the throwing of Hardwick's
hat into the ring, however, the sla-
tonites see, or think they see, a def
mite purpose not to let Slaton alone;
wherefore they are figuring whether
to pick up the gage Of battle thus
thrown down.
Sectional Plea Advanced
The plea has been advanced that
South Georgia must have one Sem
ator, and that, therefore, Slaton. who
halls from Atlanta, as does Senator
Smith, has no business asking for
Senatorship at this time-unless II
be Senator Smiths Senatorship.
Maybe so, say the Slatonites, and
maybe it will come to that-still. If
South Georgia must have Senator
out a candidate against Senator Smith
for the full term. and let South Geor-
gia choose between Smith and that
candidate. wherein a full term in the
Senate is involved, and not mere
short term?
In that event It might resolve itself
into a fight between Senator Smith
and somebody from South Georgia,
and slaton against Hardwick, or sla-
ton against nobody.
In other words. anxiously inquire
the siaton people. why shall it be
assumed that North Georgia shall
have only one Senator and that SEN
ator must be Senator Smfth7
why not, ask they. shall It not as
fairly be assumed that that one Sena-
tor shall be Senator slaton?
This arrangement too, would leave
Slaton free to appoint temporary

No TRACE Of

ROBBERS
Mail Thieves Escape With $40,-
600 Loot Near Birmingham.
Rifle Registered Pouches.

BIRMINGHAM. ALA. Feb. 20.--
searching for bandits who held up
Queen and Crescent passenger train
No / near Trussville, fourteen mics
north of here, late last night, and es-
capped with loot reported to worth
$4,000.
In battle with Ave railway mes
sengers, the robbers stabbed Harry
t. Melville, chief messenger; subduad
his companions and disappeared In
the darkness with the registered mail
sacks.
The train was bound from New
York to New Orleans and carried a
heavy passenger list.
Masked Men Board Train.
After the train had passed Alfalfa,
&c miles north of here, and the last
scheduled stop before reaching Bir-
mingham. it was tagged. and when
the engineer reduced the speed of his
locomotive three masked men leaped
into the cab. Covering the engineer
and fireman with pistols, the bandits
ordered the train stopped in a lonely,
densely wooded spot between Truss
vile and Irondale.
At that point the robbers com
manded the train crew to uncouple
the mail and express cars from the
rest of the train. After carrying these
cars about a mile, the locomotive WAS
again stopped and the mall cars were
detached.
Chief Messenger Melville, knowing
that the unusual actions of the train
meant holdup, barricaded his door
and told his assistants to prepare for
a fight. The original three bandits
were reinforced, and all were heavily
armed. When Melville refused to
open the door of his car. the bandits
began firing at it.
Stabs Chief Messenger.
Volley after volley was fired, and
the door was splintered. Finally the
bandits forced an entrance. but Mel
vile still showed fight. When he
attempted to prevent the leader OF the
gang from taking possession OF the
registered mail, the robber drew
long knife and plunged 1t into the
messengers shoulder.
In the meantime. the other messen-
gers, cowed by the display of firearms,
were standing with their hands above
their heads,
The cars were ransacked, the rob-
bers taking their time for their work.
However, they overlooked one sack
that contained mail worth $4,000,
Melville, after the robbery, said
that he szlieved there were about
eight men in the party VINO
swarmed into the mail cars while
others were on guard at t..s locomo-
tive.
William Murphy. engineer Of the
train, said that he was behind time
when the first signal was flashed near
Alfalfa. Believing that there was dan
ger ahead, he Immediately slowed
down. The men who entered the cab,
Murphy said, were armed with rifles.
TIE passengers thought that the train
had been delayed by an accident.
AS soon as word of the holdup was
received here a special train was
made up and rushed to the scenA.
