VOTERS DISCUSS
MAYORALTY RACE.
Three Aspirants For That Office in
The Field.
OTHERS MAY ANNOUNCE AS WELL
Though it is Believed all Entries are
in Aldermanic Candidates. are
Backward. An Interesting Munic'
ipal Campaign.

The announcement of Capt. J.B. Fell
der Tor mayor of Amer;cus in Sunday
Times-Recorder gave additional inter
est to an already interesting municipal
campaign.
Capt. Fielder has occupied this posi-
ton of honor several times IN years
agone, and he has many friends who
would be glad to see him elected
again. A life long resident of Ameri-
Gus, his best efforts have ever been ex-
erted in building up her material in
tsrests. So far the race is triangula-
one, and may change to quadrangle.
Capt. FL. D. Watts and Judge w. F.
Clarke have already announced for the
maYoralty, and both have received as
snfances of cordial support from their
many friends.
There was some talk yesterday 0.
the probability of a fourth candidate,
but the rumor could not be traced to
any authentic source. Many believe
that all the entries are in for the mayor
atty race, and that up to date it is ''any
mans fight"
Americus is certainly promised a
lively campaign.
And the entry of half score of al
derman1c candidates will add not lit
tie to the entertaining features. So
far there have been no announcements
for the aldermanic honors, but one
will only have to shake the bushes to
see them start.
The executive committee will meet
this week and order the primary cleo
ton.

Mag Dogs Bite Hogs and They Go
Mad Also.

Capt. j. F, Ross was IN the city yes
terday and told story of the ravages
made among his hogs by mad dogs.
An old hound was seized with hydro
phobia, and before it could ne killed

Ross fine fattening hogs. Four of
these have since died with hydropho-
bia, and Capt. Ross fears that some OF
the others may have been bitten as
well. The old hound was one of the
finest dogs in the county, and recent
ly played part in three handed
fight. She had caught a wildcat in
the edge of a lagoon, when an aIliga-
tor seized the dog and crushed fore
leg. In the fight between the dog and
alligator the cat got away, the plueky
old hound escaping later nearly minus
