RANDOLPH ANDERSON
HOST At INFORMAL
RECEPTION To FRIENDS

Atlanta, Aug 11-Randolph An
derson, candidate for governor was
host at an impromptu reception at
his headquarters in the Kimball last
night, which was attended by no less
than fifty friends from all parts of
the state, and which was a thorough
ly enjoyable one.
Mr.. Anderson was leaving the head
quarters shortly after six O'Clock last
night when he was met by half dozen
friends at the door. He paused, and
greeted them, and the conversation
had lasted for five or ten minutes
when another body of friends enter
ed the Offices.
This continued until the office was
crowded. The impromptu reception
lasted until late at night.
The headquarters is continually
crowded during the day. and Mr.. An
derson's correspondence is growing so
rapidly that it is an ever increasing
problem. However, by a wonderful
capacity for work he has SO far been
able to keep up with it, although it
requires three stenographers working
all day.
