OUR NEIGHBoRs AND OURSELVES.
The agitation OF the curiew syste.n goes
merrily on In Augusta, Atlanta and other
towns. It's about time for II to strike Abbe-
Vile. Romantic people will welcome the
innovation as a reminder OF the English sun
that had an indolent manner of going down
when the grulf old sexton pulled the bell.
cord.
sam Jones has been stirring up the animals
in Augusta for the past two weeks. He has
drilled Immense crowds through severe
rectals of their own meanness, Sans good
ness and the sultry retreat that is even worse
than Augusta.

A. b. Edwards, as committeee OF the Grand
Jury, have been examining the county Of
tces for several days. They completed their

FOR SENATOR.
Approaching the general Interest felt in the
selection OF successor 10 the late lamenteu
Senator Joseph H. Earle, the Local and
Special man has recently felt the public pulse
on the Senatorial question. OF course, on
account of the season, few except town men
could be seen. II is possible that the re.
marks OF few out-of.tow men would put a
new phase on the local situation.
The inquiry, Are You In favor OF pri.
mary for the long term?" being put to several
representative citizens ELECTED various re-
plies. 1t seems that the preponderance or
sentiment in this section is against primary.
There is great disinclination to avoid the
inevitable hot scra mble primary would en-
toll and 20 leave the matter to the Legislature.
The idea as to the Governors appointment
for the short term Ia that he will name some
man not now prominently before the people.
For the long term preference is divided be-
tween Congressman McLaurlu. Governor
EIlerbe and Ex-Governor Evans. The
Ellerbe sentiment Is strong. The Idea Is that
the Governor would win in the Legislature.
and that this would be the peaceful and gen.
orally satisfactory way out OF the d. ifflculty,
Political passions are somewhat subdned
now, and noisy disturbance IS not wanted.
In this connection u prominent citizen
says:
"Trouble may be looked for II the luxury
OF primary IS indulged In. AS matter OF
course John Gary Evans will feel IL incum-
bent on himself to enter the canvass. In
this case he would not be acting on bad ad.
vice and would not be laborng under the
a plain citizen he would be In shape to enter
tain his loud-mouthed detractors and would
not submit TO the indigniLies he did last year
John Evans has friends In every corner or
the State who would back him TO the bitter
end In fight like this Certainly Evans and
his friends will not put up with the foolish.
