D. Smith lit already begun. It is admitted that better trio of 'stump-speakers coul net be found, and political circles ai tuietly watching for development is the tight for the junior Senatoi * ship. Senator McLaurin is in Columbi; hut refuses to talk on pontics r< publication or make any statemei as to his plans.

He is pushing the cotto warehouse bill and taking active pai in the fight to stamp out cotton gan bling on the Xew York Cotton E: change. Bue when the direct que: J tion is put to him as to his enterin the Senatorial fight he smiles an refuses to be questioned. Senator McLaurin has been preacl f ing peace and harmony between th fighting factions of the Democrat party in this State and he says th* this is what he wants- to accomplisl He states that he fears if the fai tionSl fight is carried much furth* that a split will be brougnt aboi and white supremacy threatened. H * urges the people to stop and conside where they are heading and warr them against any break in the soli( ity of its people. The Marlboro Sei ator says that office is a secondar consideration, that what he wan: to do is to bring the people togethe j , and if he can do this he will be s-.tti: fied. People are curious to know wh< Senator McLaurin is going to do.

With him in the race the con plexion would undoubtedly be chanj ed. An entirely new element woul i be injected, making it- in that ever all the more interesting. It i6 not thought that Senator M< Laurin will make any definite ai nonncement as to his plans until tb meeting of the General Assembly.

With more than 500 divorces al ' ready granted in 1913, the presen ? j calendar has 179 more, and befor ie I to-night it is believed the total wil i run to nearly 200. y- J Only a small proportion of th ^ principals in the divorce cases ar !e life-long Atlantians. The remainde a are made up of that floating popula i- tion that comes and goes from yea r* to year. Atlanta is suffering apparently no ie so much from the incompatability o 1_ its own married couples as from th r~ fact that Georgia is an extremel n easy siate to get a divorce in. rt There is an undefended divorce sui law by which if the person sued can c~ not be found, the serving of the pa s_ pers can be made legal simply b S publication. Then the divorce can g d on, and a wife who has a husband ii Indianapolis or Hong Kong can get divorce in Atlanta while the husbam ie perhaps may not know that the pro ceedings are going on at all. Nearly all the divorces are based o] the stock charges of cruel treatmen *" and desertion, or non support ii >r some form or other. The ones whicl charge infidelity are not nearly s e numerous as those which charg cruel treatment. N s *' 4 j. U>\E ROBBER GETS $10,000. , Shoots Rank Manager and Escapes ii ts Stolen Automobile.
