SAVANNAH WILL BE PEACEFUL,
Reported That Prize Fight Is Declar-
ed Off Now.

When Americus people read yester-
day morning the press dispatch to the
effect that the projected Jeffr1es ''milp'
at the state fair in Savannah would
not grind, along with the display of
prize pumpkins and patchwork quilts,
there was scarcely dry eye within
the city limits. And not less than
1, 700 citizens, who had already de-
clared their intention of viewing this
great agricultural display down by
the sea, will forego that pleasure to
stay at home and shoot craps. It will
be bitter disappointment to thous-
ands of embryo agr1culturists who
have never seen two bullnecked
''gents'' in the arena, and Georgia's
agricultural show will suffer to that
extent.

Another dollar excursion, this one

next Tuesday. A special train will
leave Americas at s. 10 o. clock, and the
dollar tickets are good returning by
any tram next day. Several citizens
will doubtless go up, and while the
black element usually shows up in
force on such trips it is not believed
that a great number of negroes will go
from Amer1cus this time. They fear
trouble there on account of the killing
of Bill English, the Macon rioter,
here recently, and many declare they
will not go to Macon.

of the new law. lies In, deprtVing illiterate
voters of the assistance of ballot clerks
in preparing theft ballots
clerks accompanied such voters into the

utterly destroyed the secrecy of the bal
lot and made it possible for. corruption
lists to- learn whether bargains made with
corrupt voters had been carried out.
The effect Of the law is, Of course, large
ly matter of conjecture and one upon
which the party leaders widely differ.
The Democrats expect that it will dis
