Atlanta, Aug. 25—Major A. H. Ulm,
private secretary to former Governor
Brown while the latter was in the
executive chair, is authority tor the
positiv3 statemenc that Joseph M.
Brcwn will be a candidate in the
coming gubernatorial race.
Major Ulni, who was a newspaper
man prior to his entering the polit
ical field, is again actively engaged in
newspaper work, but keeps in close
personiil vouch with his roi'mei’ rhiei
and is known to be in his confi-
Major Ulm’s positive announce
ment that Governor Brown will be in
the race follows a visit to Marietta
yesterday, and makes the announce
ment practically as certain as though
it came from Mr. Brown’s own lips.
However, Governor Brown* himself
has made no statement for publica
tion, holding to his principle that
long campaigns are not a good thing
for the state.
Thep robability, therefore, is that
Mr. Brown will not make his formal
announcement until the office be
comes vacant. The expectation still
is that Governor Smith will resign
about the 1st of December—not in
October as some newspapers have
tried to make it appear.
Governor Brown has given no in
timation of what his stand would be
on the prohibition question, in the
event Judge Richard Russell succeed
ed in m.aking it a determining issue
in the campaign. Governor Brown's
friends do not believe he will have
to run on the prohibition issue, as
they do not think it will be the im
portant thing involved.
Former Governor Brown’s friends
are frank in saying they have no fear
of either candidate now in the race,
and that the fight will have to be
made against some man not yet
formally announced who enters the
field with the solid backing of the
“progressive” or Hoke Smith faction
of Georgia democracy.

rl di.^^'avlBfaction to not a

seemed the most practical
St., but on account of the
' of the two blocks of Eng-

t line and a fight was made
" lated In the decision upon
; line which turned four cor-
reach the same deBtlnation.
All the time the 6,000 feet which are
now ready have been being made,
many of the far-sighted citizens have
been thinking over many things, first,
the line will be completed in 2 months
earlier by using the straight line, then,
it is assured that the interurban ’will
be built here in less than 12 months,
and English is the street on which that
will go, and the work then have to be
done on English street regardless of
this looped line. So, with all
lights the wise city fathers got togeth
er and amended the ordinance and
now the extension will be completed
In a few days.
Mayor Tate has advertised for seal
ed bids for the erection of a two-story
brick fire station for the West End
hose company.
In the person of Mr. Arthur Lyon
High Point has an expert accountant.
That is what Mr Cadwallader.an expert
accountant of New York, said after
going over some of the work of Mr.
Lyon has been doing during the past
week.
The reports sent out yesterday from
Raleigh that the negro arrested for
stealing was looked upon with suspi
cion in the case of the death of Mrs.
Joel Hill, at Jamestown, has not caus
ed any excitement here, where a larger
portion of the citizens have long since
abandoned the murder theory.
Messrs. Woodson Young have
closed the contract for the appearance
of the United States Marine Band to
play here sime time in the early part
of September.
Superintendent Thornwell Haynes is
getting everything in shape for the
opening of the city schools, which will
take place Monday morning, Sept.
11th. Many changes are to be made
in the curriculum and many new meth
ods employed. The valuable depart
ment of domestic science is to be es
tablished with a special teacher. The
school board has created a hygiene
committee and under the direction of
this committee there will be* a free
medical examination in all the schools
at the beginning of the term. It is
not obligatory that the parents follow
the advice of the physician examining
the children, but it is hoped they will
—at any rate it will excuse the board
and teachers from any responsibility,
and after this examination and vacci
nation certificate which each child is
required t» hold before he will be ad
mitted to school, there is no reason
why the school should not be made
up of strong, healthy children.
In accordance with the state board
of health the churches j^ill observe
Sanitary Sunday next Sunday. Some
of the leading physicians will take
part in the exercises.
High Point caij’t help but feel some
what selfish that while so many are
in need of water that she is enjoying
an abundance of as sound and pure
water as can be found anywhere.
Since the inauguration of the new sys
tem the water comes to the homes
from a concrete basin and is sweet
and wholesome and absolutely pure.
Some people are only busy when
they are meddling in, other people s
business.
Atlanta, Aug. 25.—This is the sea
son for going to the mountains on
vacation. Lots of people have been
to the mountains this year and last
and the year before. Famous among
humans who have traveled mountain-
ward in the past are Moses and Mo
hammed.
But it is doubtful if ever until yes
terday has history recorded the story
of a low-country county picking itself
up bag ahd baggage and moving to
the higher mountainous regions.
Yet that is just what has happened
to Putman county. A foolish little
clerical error, a slip Qf the pen has
moved Putman county, theoretically,
up into the northwest corner of the
map, thereby proving not only that
the* pen is mightier than the sword,
but that it is mightier than an earth
quake, which couldn’t have accom
plished as much.
The joke on Putnam was discov-
ered when a perusal of the congres
sional reapportionment bill, passed
by the legislature and signed by
the governor and filed away as a law
in the archives of the secretary of
state’s office, showed that instead ot
being in the eighth congrepional
district where it ought to be, some
body iiad made a slip of the pen, a
lapsus stilus, to quote dog-latin, and
had put it up in the seventh district,
in northwest Georgia, jumping over
five intervening counties to perform
the miracle.
Happily the error is not a serious
one politically, for there Is rio con-
"•ressional election this fall, and be
fore next. November the legislature
will have corrected the ”^i®take.
Meanwhile, it is reported, the cit
izens of Putnam county are eryoymg
the mountain breezes and finding
the nights much cooler.

Atlanta, Aug. 25.—The tangle over
