Mr. Editor: Our primary
election is oye-, Hie Jong, outer
s'ruggle lias ended, the state
convention has met and nominated
II >ke Smith as the next
governor of Georgia. We doubt
if any man in Georgia expected
such a complete landslide for
Hoke Smith, but it came, the
greatest victory that any man
has had in Georgia lor forty
years. Hoke Smith is an able
man and will make the state a
great governor. Howell is as
dea 1 politically as a man usually
gets, considering the fact that
lie has been in office and wellknown
to the public.
Macon had the honor of having
the state convention meet
here. It brought great crowds of
people to the city, many ol
whom had never visited this,
the fairest city in Georgia before
li was an interesting occasion,
but of course, the nomination
for governor was of less interest

place, but it was of course ?i
one-sided a fTiir and every-bodv
knew exactly how it. would re*,
suit.
Cotton warehouse men here
are kept busy nowadays, handling
the lleecy staple as it comes
in on wagons and in shipments
trom many points. The farmers
continue to report bad conditions
and say that the crop will soon
be gathered and will be the
smallest we have had for some
years.
Great preparations are being
m ide for the centennial fair to
be helii here this Fall. It will be
a celebiation of the beginning of
M aeon, one hundreil years ago
A.l kinds of attractions are
being secured and it promisee to
be the biggest !air ever held in
the city. An invitation has been
extended \V. J Bryan to attend,
and should he accept the invitation,
this wouhl prove to bo a
groat drawing card for the lair,
bringing hundreds of visitors
here who would not come other
wise.
Mr Bryan is gaining friends I
