CALL IS MADE FOR
A PRIMARY ON 18TH.
City Committee Had Meeting
Yesterday.
CONFINED TO DEMOCRATS ONLY
Nomination of City Clerk Promises to
BE Spirited With Several Candidates
in the Field Only White Democrats
Can Cast Vote.

A democratic primary election, con-
fined to white democrats only, will de-
termine results between the half dozen
real and prospective candidates for the
city clerkship. Such was the action
taken yesterday by the democratic
executive committee.
And this action met with the approx
al of all the candidates.
The executive committee, II essrs.
z S. Childers, H. e. Allen, John
Sheffield, J. G. Roney and George
Oliver, met yesterday afternoon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a
primary.
The conclusion to do go was quickly
reached, and Monday, Goth. was fixed
as the date thereof. Il was further
ordered that only white democrats,
qualified to vote IN the last general
city election Chat in Decent Der last)
were eligible to vote in primary.
This cuts the list OF voters to about
300, this being the number of white
citizens registered,
And the other 400 or 500 voters who
usually take hand in primaries are
sorry that they failed to pay taxes and
register.
The Times Recorder, at that time,
said that some might regret such an
omission ere long.
The polls will open at 8 a. m. anC
close at 4 p. m. The names of all the
candidates will appear on the official
ballot, and no other ticket will be re-
ceived by the managers. Candidates
must pay their pro rata of the ex
penses of holding the primary by the
21st. inst.
Mr., FL, E. Allen, secretary of the ex
ecutiYe committee, will have the Gus
tody of this fund and complete arrange
ments for the election. Only the names
of candidates complying with this rule
will appear on the official ticket.
And now the several candidates car
begin to hustle.
The names of all the registered voters
were Published recently and it will be
easy for the candidates to see them. II
fact, 299 of the 800 voters have proba
/! bly, been 'seen" already.
The campaign will not be long drawn
out, the election coming one week from
Monday next. The successful candi-
date, though elected to fill an unex-
pred term, will have two years to serve
as Clerk McGarrah served less than two
weeks of his term.
At least half dozen candidates viii
make the race.

ACCEPTED A BETTER POSITION
City Engineer j 3. AnsIey Is Going
to New Orleans.

MIR. John B. Ansley, for number of
years city engineer and superlnten-
dent of waterworks, has accepted lu-
cratlve and desirable position in New
Orleans and will leave at once for the
Crescent City to enter upon a dis
charge of his duties there.
Many in Americas will regret to see
Mr.. AL sley leave.
At the recent election of city en-
ployes the salary of city engineer was
reduced very considerably, though at
a subsequent meeting was restored to
the extent of 500.
Mr.. Ansley has since written friends
in New Orleans regarding position
there, and Yesterday was offered the
place of chief engineer for a firm of
sewerage contractors at salary OF
80, 400 He will go at once to accept
this advantageous offer.
Supt. Ansley is very efficient and
capable civil engineer, having assisted
in the building of the water and sew,
erage systems in this city and having
custody thereof for years since, and it
is matter of regret that he is 10 leave

ASKED FOR A HALT
TO TALK IT over,
Commission Case May Adjust
Itself.
NEW BOARD IS GOING TO WAIT
Until Thursday Morning Before As
sorting Authority-5y That Time it
is Hoped the Vexed Matter May
Finally Be Settled.

The police com mission case, or rather
the case of Americas two police COM
missions, remains IN status quo until
tomorrow morning, by which time it is
hoped that some means of settling the
vexed question of authority may have
been reached,
Such was the information given out
yesterday morning,
Just what means may be employed
or terms sugg ested for settlement
was not stated; in fact, nothing be-
yond the mere statement that there
was 'nothing doing" at present.
The new police commission, at its
first meeting on Saturday, called upon
the police force, through Chief Wheel
err, to report to that body for orders
yesterday morning, but on yesterday
this order was amended and the time
extended until Thursday
Various plans looking to an adjust
ment of matters were suggested by
citizens yesterday.
1t was suggested from one source
that both commissions, the old and
the new. resign and have another cleo
ton at the primary for the nomination
of city clerk on Goth, inst. But just
wherein this would help matters was
not satisfactorily explained.
Others thought we could get along
Without any commission at all, but of
couree this is not to be considered un-
less tins law creating the commission
was first repealed.
It is fact, however, that Americas
and Atlanta are the only cities in Geor-
gia having police commissions. All the
others that tried the experiment. quit
it long ago. And Atlanta is about tc
get rid of hers now, and is creating a
stir to that end.
Citizens of Americus would be very
glad to see a settlement of the SQUAD
bic here, and hope that some satiefac-
tory adjustment may be reached or else
settle it IN the courts.
