Tha rea lenatiua of -"t-i rrlf-'lh and tt) Beeewuty of a special election to aa- leot hia suoweser war brought' about by the death of United Statea Sena tor Clay a year ago. t'pon tha death of Senator Clay, Joseph 1L Brown, who wu then tha governor of Oeor- & appointed ex-Governor Joseph If. rail to fill the vacancy ia tba Sen ate, but the legislature early in tha present year named Governor Smith in nia stead. Mr. Smith accepted tha election to the Sonata but did not go" to Washington daring the special session of Congress. Ha held on to tba governorship until tha middle of laat month, when ba resigned and waa aueaaeded by John M. Slaton aa act ing governor.. Mr. Blaton will con tinue to bold office until the latter part of January, when the winner in tomorrow 'a primary will succeed him. There' are three eandidatea ia the primary race. Tha first in that field waa CoL J. Popa Brown, of Hawkine ville,i who formerly held tha fnee of State treasurer. Then came Rich ard B. Russell, of Rusaollville; - a judge of the Georgia court of appaala. Tba last to eater tha contest was ex Governor Joseph M. Brown. ' - .;. Tba candidacy of ' Little Joe" Brown added apiee to what would otherwise hava been a very tame on teat. For several years Brown 3iaa been tha stormy petrel of Georgia polities. , Whan Hoke Smith waa first elected governor Brown held tha of fice of railroad aommissioner. Tha po litical diflseenoea that bad long ex isted between tha two were not long in coming to aJbead and the result waa that. Governor, Smith.' removed Brewa from pffleewr x j, ; wn tnunediataiy begaa a cam- to sirtoeed'' Smith Virr the gov- etnorship. Ha waa lueeeaafnl in the primary and hia election followed as a matter of course, for in Georgia the winner of tha Democratic primary ia aa good aa seated. But in hia fight for re-election the victory waa re versed and ba waa defeated by Hoke Smith, who again came into tha gov ernorship. ' Tha entry of Brown into the pret est content for governor naturally precipitated a renewal of the old-time bitter factional strife. The Smith ad he rents look upon Brown 'a candidacy as part of a plan of former Govern or Terrell and tha old machine to gain control of tba Georgia Democracy and defeat Smith whan he goea before tha people for re-election aa United Statea Senator. Either J. Popa Brown or Judge Russell would be acceptable to tba Smith faction in preference to Little Joe." . Tha sraateat difficulty facing tha eandidatea at tha beginning of . the campaign waa tha dearth of import ant iasuea upon which to wage tha eonteat. The old issues bad been worn threadbare and no longer in terested tha people. Finally two of tba eandidatea, J. Pope Brown and Judge Russell, decided that tha ques tion of prohibition should oa tne euei issue, though to the ordinary onlook er it would appear that tha prohibi tion question had been dupoaed of as a five issue several years ago "when the prohibitory amendment waa add ed to the State constitution. But the prohibition law, or rather the man ner of ita enforcement, baa given rise to considerable public diacusaion and tsorror lee Oiaaatisf action, wnile the alleged intention at tba liquor inter ests to start an organised campaign for tha repeal of tba amendment baa served to farther attract public at tentioa o ba question. ; Aa tha cam paign progressed it became mora and mora manifest that tba liquor ques tion waa to ba almost tba sole issue. Judge Russell ia carrying tba local option banner, while J. Pope Brown ia an out-and-out prohibitionist and strenuously opposed to "any scheme that eould poeeibry bring the legal ised sale of liquor, back into Geor gia." Former Governor Joseph Jl. Brawn, ia tba only one of tba three eandidatea who haa declined to make the prohibition question tba para mount issue. Ha haa ahowa an incli nation to treat tba matter lightly from tha beginning of tba eonteat, though ha baa cone so far aa to sug gest that tha queatioa ba left to tha votera of tha State.

In point of attendance and enthusiasm tha eighth .'annual convention of the National ' Rivers and Harbors Con gress, which began its sessions at the New Willard Hotel today, promises to eclipse all previous gatherings of ita kind held in this country. Dele- gatea appointed by river improve ment associations, boards of trade. chambers of commerce and 'similar organisairoaa lhirajwjsjt 'the United Statea, as well as by tha governors of a large number of States, are in attendance. Senators and represent atives and beads of various depart ments of the Federal . government will participate in the discussions, and tomorrow the attendance will receive a notable addition in the dele gation of Western governors now touring the country. Representative Joseph E. Rans- deli of Louisiana, president of the congress, called the gathering to or der. In hia opening address Presi dent Ransdell declared his belief that tha present gathering is the most im portant aver held in the interest of improved waterways. He reviewed tha work already accomplished, and the projects toward tha fulfillment of which the various associations are bending their energies. The result of the work already done, he said, spoke well' for the future and ought Uf impress both- the President and tha members of congress respecting tha serious and substantial popular sentiment in favor of a large annual river and harbor appropriation bill. .

Tba Situation in China, The fall of Nanking into the hands of the revolutionists has again chang ed the situation in China, The revo lutionists now absolutely control the waterway from Shanghai to Hankow with a fleet of twenty warships and a number of armed junks and forts. There is a base of ample supplies available, while the funds hold out. There is a well equipped arsenal at Shanghai and a big mint at Nanking, where are also about 40 modern guns. .

Tne young man had, toe Mta tiBMjwetf beejth(. and the final sickness attacked bun on Sunday last at noon, jle lingered until yesterday afternoon; 'when he passed peacefully away. ' The young man leaves one brother, Harry, and a sister, Miss Laura He waa well known in the city, and waa liked by all who knew him. He was a member of t. John's Methodist church and the funeral will take place from the residence tomorrow morning. He was born ia Darlington and moved to Anderson with- hia parents several years ago.: 'He has been a member of the church for some years and always took an active interest in church work. His health for a considerable time, has been such as to make the sad event not altogether unexpected, and in many ways it waa a long looked for relief. The sorrow ing parents are comforted in their bereavement by the knowledge that their son had lived so aa to make his death merely the passing to a brighter life, where pain and sorrow have passe 1 away and the weary a re at rest. To his many friends he will be remembered as one who bravely bore up under unusual suffering and to his parents he will remain their son who awaits them in that future life. General Henry H. Binghkm, the "Father of the House of Representa tives," who haa served 17 terms in congress from the First Pennsylvania district, may loae that title, since the Republican leadera in Philadelphia are said to have decided that he shall not be named for. re-election. .Paf onr ?nn Wr-it Fays, ir rrt a ptra-rraia or tAnrt-ortM a csjsckino Mcomn win raT afowir rou una a-fcia-tjtr n awi oa 04N&-JVST cava fttr ira jtiomw ' Mxorv. raira .a irt s aoMMwtA . 4ccovni oa rot tvuntn mma CONCORD NATIONAL BANK.
