Cunningham said he was opposed to
the idea of voting precincts and felt
he could not superintend an election
held under such circumstances, either
to the satisfaction of the people of the
county or to his own.
This announcement brought on
request for time for a conference from
the Union Club committeeman, which
resulted in the offer of an amendment
to the resolution that removed the diff
ficulty Mr.. LaRoche moved that the
boxes be located at the Court House,
instead of in the several districts of
the county, and this was carried with
out opposition.
Two Changes I'm the Plan.
In the meantime, however, the Citi-
zens Club members of the committee
had not been idle; they too had been
in conference and their deliberations
resulted in the offer of two amend
ments to the resolutions. One of these
provided that the election should be
held on May 20 instead of on May
%, and the other that nominations
for all county offices, and for the Of
fees of clerk and sheriff of the City
Court. as well as nominations for rep
resentG tives in the General Assembly,
should then be maze.
The proposition to change the date
of the primary from May % to May 20
was based on the argument that on
tn. former date several hundred vo-
ters, member of the knights of
Pythias, would be out of the city, in
attendance upon the State Convention
of that order This argument carried
the day.
Again a strict party vote was polled,
the Citizens Club members of the COM
mittee voting for and the Liberal Club
members against each of these PROPOSE
tions Again the vote of the chairman
decided, the chairman's vote being cast
each time in favor of the Affirmative.
Chairman Decided 1t All.
AS a matter of fact, the whole thing
might just as we'll have been left to
Mr.. Cunningham, for his vote decided
every disputed point. 1t decided these
points, too, with such manifest fair
ness and impartiality that no member
OF either party found it in his heart
or conscience to register protest. The
decision accorded every time with the
dictates of both wisdom and justice.
The rest of the deliberations of the
committee proceeded along more ami
cable lines. 1t was determined to keep
the polls open from a. m. until II.
m, sun time. on the day of election,
and a committee, consisting of the
chairman and Messrs. LaRoche and
Lawrence, was appointed to prepare
the form of ballot and provide for the
manner in which the expenses of the
election should be betrayed.
1t was determined that the state pri-
mary should be held in this county on
June 5, the day named by the State
Executive Committee. At this election
only the candidates for Governor and
other State House officers are to be
nominated.

Guard. Not In Usual Trim.

5 The work of the Guards was not so
good as that of the Independent Troop,
due largely to the fact that some OF
the Guards best filters were not pres
ent. The ground was very heavy for
the horses, causing some of them to
swerve from the course. This brought
the riders of two of them to grief,
these being Sergt ]. T. Chapman and
Private S. H. Chapman. Sergt Chap
man had a stirrup break, and was
precipiatated to the ground, though
sustaining no more serious hurt than
a sprained wrist. Private Martins
horse ran from the course trihe, and
the riders head struct the post at
left cut, the blow knocking him to
the ground and cutting a cash in his
head. This received attention, and he
was soon little the worse for his mis-
hap. The following were the scores
made by the Guards:

OPERATIVES GOING NORTH.

Augusta Tribune: Ever since the
strike and lockout were inaugurated
idle operatives have been leaving the
city. They have left singly and IN
companies, some going on their own
account and others at the solicitation
of agents, the latter in most cases fur
nishing transportation. This. exodus
still continues, and every day some are
leaving. Not less than 300 have left
within the last three weeks, and posi-
bly, a great many more than that NUM-
Der. 1t has been noted as strange
thing that many of those who have left
went North. Heretofore Southern OPP
eratives have not gone North to work
to any great extent. But it seems that
the eyes of Northern manufacturers
are turning Southwark for help, and
since the lockout here agents of North
ern mills have hired and sent North
quite a number of Augusta operatives.
Many of these have gone to New Ter
sey. Like all other emigration agents,
these men paint beautiful pictures of
life in New Jersey, which, according to
their description, is the next thing to
heaven.

A half dozen or more negroes charg-

MAGNETIC ORE ON EAST COAST.

st. Augustine Record: In the Office
of Mr. j.. E. Ingraham can be seen sew
eral samples of the magnetic iron ore
which has recently been discovered, in
almost inexhaustable quantities, on
the line of the Florida East Coast
Railway, in less than two hours of
this city. Samples of the same have
been sent to experts. and an analysis
will be made of the ore to determine
it's value. If it is found that it will
pay to treat the ore for commercial
purposes, a new and promising indus
try will has sprung up on the East
Coast 1t is proposed, If the reports
are favorable. to ship the product by
vessels from Mapyort, and an immense
business may be carried on in the ore.
Some of the ore which is in Mr.. Ingra-
hams office has been pulverized and
readily adheres to a horseshoe mag
net, demonstrating its magnetic quail
tiles. The iron is of a similar char
acter to that found in Cuba. which
has been pronounced the finest in the
world. If it turns out to. be as valua
BILE as it is believed to be the cost of
mining it will be very small, as it lies
almost on the surface of the ground.

MIAMrs TOMATO SHIPMENTS.

Miami News: Tomato shipments
from Miami and Cutler reached the
high water mark last week. This
weeks shipments will be nothing like
so heavy. Day by day, from this time
on, the number of crates will grow
less Shipments to date have reached
about 100000 crates. One surprising
feature in connection with the crop
is that while the general yield has
been cut short in many instances by
half, the number of crates shipped
to date is slightly greater than the
total shipments from this point last
season. The number of crates shipped
by rail and express up to Saturday
night was 97100. Last weeks ship
ments were 80, SS2 crates. Prices are
holding up remarkably we'll consider

that Carroll and other counties are

solid. The merchants and solid bust

that the fight now is between Terrell
