Also it Is learned that the railroad assessments show very material increase over the assessments In force for the last four years.

It 1b said that the school funds In many conn ties will show an especially big in crease owing to the material raise In the tax rate that was made for the schools by the recent legislature. In deed, it is said that some counties will have more school funds this year than they will know what to do with SH SEES CONGRESS AT 84.

About the lat est and most discussed political devel opment here Is what is believed to be a strong indication that the guberna torial contest for the nomination in 912 is being drawn into the senatorial fight insofar as the eontest between Senator Simmons and Governor Kitch in is concerned and that there may yet 'be a third candidate for governor in. the field one to represent the Kitcbln element of the party, . Ever since the Charlotte convention in which Kltchin won the nomination for governor over Locke Craig there have been many who insist that tho 1912 nomination foi governor lr. duo to Mr. Craig and that tiiere is really a party' obligation growing out of that contest to give him the next nom ination. For several months W. C Newland, president of Che senate and lieutenant governor.has been an avow ed candidate for governor. Neither of them have special political alliance with. Governor Kltchin and Mr. Craig and Senator Simmons have been close ly allied. This Is giving rise, now that the fight Is drawing' up so sharply be tween Senator Simmons and Governor Kltchin, to a disposition on the part of some of Gov. Kltchin's friende to agitate the question of making a fight on the nomination of Mr. Craig lest, his Influence, made more power ful by the nomination for governor, rbe UBed In the senatorial campaign, between tbe July convention an-d-' the vote in the senatorial primary in the fall, for the furtherance of Simmons' Interest : ' . Friends of Mr. Craig are Insisting that Mr. Craijj; will steer clear of the senatorial, fight entirely and that the alarm on the part of the friends of Governor Kltchin Is groundless. , Whether this Insistence can keep off the precipitation of a mix-up of the senatorial andgubernatoriar -contesttr as- Indicated remains to be seep. Also there is a possibility that the part thai ex-Governor Atycock and Chief Justice Clark play as the other candidate In the senatorial fight may affect very largely the possibility of there being another candidate for governor in the Held. This talk Is Involving again C. W. TUlett as the possible third candi date for governor to represent the Kltchin wing. Mr. TUlett has not pub licly receded from his public Intima tion some time ag6 that he would not be a candidate for governor. IIS GREAT IRK Major White, of Atlanta.
