Main Roads Through Central
Tract Will Be Worked Soon
Petition for opening public roads through Central tract in now Be
ing published Work should begin very county
mssiOners will doubtless grant petition possible.

Ii is now practically assured that
the main roads through the 1000
acre tract Of land which the Central
Of Georgia railway has for sale Just
below Leesbnrg to attract white im-
migrants to Lee County, will be
worked very soon. The petition Of
residents and land owners near the
tract is now being published in The
Journal as is customary in regard TO
the opening Of Lew roads; and the
County Commissioners will doubtless
grant this petition as soon as they
can do 50 legally
Ii should be gratifying to the PEG,
pie Of Lee County that the County
Commissioners will at last, though
tardily, redeem the pledge given.
nearly a year ago. It IS hoped that
the working of the roads through
the tract will be completed before
autumn, as that would enable those
who have in charge the scale OF the
land to white immigrants to bring
a large number OF purchasers toLee
County as soon as the tract has been
placed in good condition.
The Journal sincerely hopes that
the action Of the Commissioners on
this matter will be prompt and fav
orable and that it will do as much
as can be done toward redeeming
the County's pledge in this particu-
lar.

Smith 3 ex pected announcement for
the senate failed to materiate today,
but he has it in mind. ~
When asked here about it he said
his hat was still on bis head and
that the wind was blowing pretty
stout, or words to that effect. which
is just another way Of saying that
he could be persuaded to get into it
if enough folks insist.
incidentally, it may be stated that
William D. Upshaw has the notion
Of trying it on the unexpired term
sizzling around in his bonnet to a
considerable extent.
It is said that the dyed-in-the-
wool prohibitionists are not at all
satisfied with the attitude Of the
senatorial field as it is. They don't
cotton very strongly some how to
Rufe Hutchens, although he is for
ward with statement that he be-
lieves the question Of national pro-
hibetion should be submitted to the
people.
T. S. Folders recent conversion
~ son,athino of the sort is also look
ed on with suspicion to say the least
BY the prohis.
Apparently they think Governor
slaton and Congressman Hardwick
hopeless from their viewpoint. Bunk
Cooper * for local option.
Therefore, the prohibitionist gen
eraly say that haven't mau in the
race that represents their views from
every staA d oittand with sufficient
ldefniteness to make it possible to
give him hearty support.
Therefore. this particular element
is urging Mr.. Upshaw to get INTO In
promising to get out and work for
him with might and main. He has
Mt said as much, but it is possible
that he will be persuaded.
Then a clean-cut prohibition issue
would be bound to get into it.

viii ]. R. Smith Be Candidate
For The United States Senate?
Rumor has that he may enter the with Walter Andrews
manager for the unexpired senaoraIterm

Atlanta. Ga, June 10. Rumors
Of very well.definad nature here
are to the effect that .. RI Smith,
formercampaign managerfor joseph
NJ. Brown, will soon announce
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, unexpired term.
Practically ever since Governor
Brown gave out the statement that
he would not be candidate for the
unexpired term, followed by Mr..
Smith Is statement that he had been
deceived" by Little Joe, rumors
have been current here that Mr..
Smith would get into it himself, be-
ling unable to vote for any Of the
candidates now in the field.
1t isalso said that Colonel Walter
Andrews, Of Atlanta, viii be Mr.
Smiths campaign manager and ad
wiser, This will bring on an odd
situation.
1 Colonel Andrews has always been
an ardent Hoke Smith man and has
been connected with some Of hisca
l.paigns. AS is well known, ] r.
Smith managed two of Joe Browns
campaigns. Therefore, a former
Hoke Smith campaign manager
would be- managing the campaign q
a former Joe Brown campaignman-
ager.
Can you beat it? Talk Of queer
political kinks, but this good old
state Of Georgia certainly does bring
them.
Having charged Governor Brown
| with deceiying'' him, naturally i.
r.. Smith would not expect any aid
from that quarter. Therefore, lie
must seek his supporters from a.
mong his personal friends, which
are many, and the Hoke SMITH fol-
lowing. Again enters the question
what about the other stalwart Heke
Smith senatorial candidates already
in the field, r, w. Hardwick and
T. S. Fielder?
Matters are getting SO complicated
the voter will have to have "a dia-
graph pretty soon to tell how to vote.
