among the ''early birds,n as it is feared

The resolution offered at the meeting of
| the executive committee of the Democratic
party, Thursday, calling for primaries on
July Is, between the hours of Z o'clock
a. IN. and O'Clock p. M, will be hard on
| the majority OF Pooerites, as they will be
In Savannah attending to business, and will
not be in the district during the hours.

the change made, il possible.

succeed. Mr.. Jordan is nearing his 10th
mie-post in life Mr.. James Kelly. the

| The subject of Incorporating Poolsr was
| discussed last week by several citizens and
| there is no doubt that the place could easily
/ be incorporated il it were handled right
In conversation with Drs. Bleakney and
| Grimes, it was learned that il something ia
| not done to put us in better sanitary CON
dition than we are at present, moro or less
sickness will prevail soon bitches and
| drains will have to be looked after, and
every place where there is any standing
water drained off. PARTIES who are holding
land for speculation are the main ones who
| object to having the place Incorporated
| The sooner the citizens take the sanitary
condition Of our place into consideration
the better 1t will be for the entire settle
/ ment.

well, one Of the most prominent members
OF the congregation, always In the lead in
