LAST DAY BRINGS A
FIGHT TO A FINISH,
Candidates Will Learn Their Fate
Today.
BUT AVERAGE VOTE EXPECTED.
County Primary for County Officers
and Two Members of Legislature
is on Today Nearly 1000 Voters
Can Participate.

This is the ''eventful day" in Sum
ter wherein the ''issoos'' between
the twenty-one candidates for county
offices and the legislature will be de-
termined. The campaign has been
long drawn out, and both the candi.
date and the voter will welcome the
finale.
Twenty one were called but there
are only eight to be chosen.
While the campaign has been q
lengthy one it has been clean to the
finish, and onlyln one or two instances
reported was there anything to the
contrary in evidence.
The legislative race has commanded
full share of attention and there is
much speculation as to the result.
Messrs w. t. Lane, j A, Hixon, b. L..
JOINER and George W. Barrow make up
the ''big four" IN this battle of the
giants, and either two may lead that
ticket.
But the county election is not lack
ing in interest little bit.
Sheriff Bell and Court Clerk Cham
bliss are felicitating in the fact that
they have no opposition. Both are
splendid officers and deserve this really
good fortune.
But there is handicap race for all
the other positions.
AS the names appear upon the ''ofi-
ciai" tickets, Brown Small, j. I. Hud-
son, Fl. d Watts, and j. B. Dunn, are
candidates for the office of tax coIlec-
tor, which the latter has filled many
years.
Then ther g is the receivers Office
a nice little place, too.
j. r. Pitcher, j w Murray, j. z
Carey, j. w. Mize and j. P. Raiford,
the present incumbent, will speed over
the political race conrse in pursuit of
this desired prize.
The treasurer's race is four-cornered,
Marion Sims, Lott Warren, A. G,
Speer and j. 0. Macarthur, each think
ing himself we'll qualified for the du-
ties of the office. Treasurer J. E Sui
livap, who has ably filled the position
many years, is not again in the race.
J. M. Duckworth and z. Ell. Cheek
aspire to the Office of coroner, while ID.
P. Holt is free lance for county SUR
veyor.
There are 1888 registered voters, of
which number 761 reside in the 9th,
or city districts and 772 in the county.
Of this number it is estimated that
1870 will vote today, despite the cry
that ''people are busy" and Will not
turn out.
The election managers here are 7. A

Five Atlanta Boys.
Atlanta, May 5.-Forced by five
young boys to breathe sewer gas and
held by them under Shiny sewer filth
until he swallowed some Of the poison,
is the story little Colin McDougal told
Sunday, just before he closed his eyes
in eternal sleep, of the inhuman treat
ment that caused his death.
Colin McDOugal was the 6-year-old
sen OF MIR. and Mrs Robert H. Nc
poggal. who resided at the corner of
Little and Woodson streets. The child
died Sunday and it has developed that
his death was due to abuse and torture
inflicted on him by five older boys.
Tie father of the dead child has
been conducting a rigid investigation
into the terrible affair and will proba-
bly, place the matter in the hands of
the police today to let the law take it's
course. The boys implicated all reside
in the immediate neighborhood and
the news of the horrible death of the
child and their completely will create
a profound sensation.
The immediate cause of the death
of little Colin was. it is said, sewer
gas poisoning. According to state
ments he was forced to go into the
mouth of the big Connally street sew
er about three blocks from his home ;
was beaten with rocks or some other
weapon was then forced under the
filthy water and held there until he
had swallowed some of the deadly poi
