COMMISSION TO
NAME POLICEMEN,
officers Will Be Selected
Saturday.
MANY APPLICANTS FOR PLACES
Police Board Will Meet Saturday and
Elect Police Force For Next Term
of Two Years. Many Would Like
to Swing Club For City.

While ''the policeman's lot is not q
happy one" if the title to an old song
counts for anything, it is fact, not
withstanding, that many here are
hustling for the job and will be glad to
carry a club and try the ''pollceman's
lott If the board will eject them.
And the police board is going to get
busy on that line soon.
In fact, next Saturday is the date of
election, and in the interim the candi-
dates and their friends are happening
the commissioners and getting in a
little work in their behalf.
Many aspirants to wear the blue were
thus on the alert yesterday.
Under recent action of the city
council, which prescribes the number
of men elected to the force and fixes
the salary list, the commissioners elect
ing the chief, lieutenant and patrol.
men, the same number of officers will
be elected for the two years.
The new term begins April 1st, and
continues until April LIST, 1905.
It is quite probable that ell the men
now constituting the force will be ap-
plicants for disappointment, while it is
an absolute fact that many outsiders
will want to come in.
Americus has very efficient police
force; in fact. one of the best in the
state for it's size, and it's efficiency
is attested in the fact that during the
past year the fines arising from cases
docketed more than paid the salary
list of the entire force.
The result of the election Saturday
night is awaited with interest.

CANDIDATES WILL
ANNOUNCE NOW,
Early Primary Is Pleasing
to All.
ANXIOUS TO SETTLE CONTEST.
Sumter County Committee May Meet
Soon, Now That The State Com
mIttee Has Acted, And Name Date
For County Primary.

With O clear track and orders to go
ahead, as given by the state committee,
the many candidates for Office here,
and whose fortunes are to be decided
at the state primary, will pull open the
throttle and proceed to go down the
pike at hair lifting speed.
These are the aspirants for the office
OF solicitor general and members of the
legislature.
There are others, of course, but these
are the only Offices for which there are
opposing candidates. The primary for
county officers has not yet been called,
but will be on another date.
The state Democratic executive DOM.
mittee, as the Times-Recorder stated
yesterday, has called the state primary
on April Goth. an early date. At that
time the governor, congressman, su-
preme court judges, state house officers
superior court judges and solicitors are
named.
Each county, too, elects it's legisla-
tive members on that date.
Here in Sumter the aspirants for
legislative honors, except for the
senat orship, are little shy in coming
to the front, but there are plenty of
them, and they will soon come out.
Messrs. Crawford Wheatley and W.
T. Lane are the avowed aspirants for
senatorial honors in this district, and
each is doing herculean work. The
tissue" between them will be settled
April 20, as will the contest between
Messrs. Hooper and Williams for the
solicitorship.
Now that the state primary is dated,
the apsirants for county offices are on
the anxious bench.
They, too, want an early primary in
order that the "agony" may be ended
as quickly as possible. The county
executive committee will probably be
called together shortly now, and a date
named for holding the primary for the
nomination of county officers.
And there will doubtless be lengthy
string of these when the final lineup is
called.

FINE DIVIDEND WAS DECLARED
Planters Bank Has Another Prosper.
Gus Year,

Planters Bank Has Another Prosper,
Gus Year.
The Planters Bank of Americus held
it's annual meeting yesterday, the
board of directors, after hearing the
annual reports of President L. G..
Council and Cashier Chas. M. Council,
declaring q cash dividend of 10 per
cent on the capital stock of $4,000.
Besides this handsome dividend, q
goodly sum was entered up to the sur
plus account.
The statement exhibited eYiden ced
the fact that the past year was by far
one of the most successful in the
banks career, the volume of business
showing very great increase.
Since it's establishment a dozen
years ago this bank has pai6 annually
a cash dividend of ten per cent. It's
very successful career is due largely to
the splendid management of its active
officers, President L. G. Council and
Cashier Chas. M. council.
For several years this bank has occu.
pied its own magnificent building,
erected from its surplus fund at cost
of perhaps $50, For years, too, it
has been one of the repositories of the
State of G eorgia.
After disposing of the dividend yes
terday the election of officers followed.
Mr.. L, G. Council was again elected
president, Mr.. r. ]. Perry Yice-presi-
dent, and Mr.. G. M. Council cashier.
These three, with Messrs. G. M. Ed
ridge, w. E. Brown and Barlow Coun-
Gil constitute the board of directors for
the ensuing year.
The business community is greatly
pleased with the continued success of
the Planters Bank, one of the strongest
in the southern states.

THE ELECTION.

In the election Of Theodore Roose-
welt 30 the Presidency, the expected
has happened No one, we believe,
seriously expected the election OF
Judge Parker, and yet no one ex.
pected che defeat OF the Democracy
by such a landslide as characterized
tuesdays election, especially in view
of the fact that the warning factions
oi the Democracy were apparently
united in Judge Parker's interests.
There is no small significance attach
ed TO this unlOOked-ior majority, but
at least we are slow TO believe that
the majority Of the American people,
or even majority OF the States OF
the Union, endorse unqualltedly all
the recent policies of the administra-
ton. The result is rather an ELI
dorSement OF present prosperous con-
ditionS existing throughout thecouu-
! trv, and is attributable lar more 50
dollar wheat, sixty cent corn. high
wages for labor AMI stirring indus
trial conditions generally than to
lnordinate protection Of certain in
dustries resulting in the growth OF
trusts and combines, colonization OF
foreign territory, cutting down OF
Southern representation in Congress
on account limitation OF suffrage,
none OF which should appeal TO Amer
lean people unless they have depart
Ell dangerously from first principles.

wise policy and craftsmanship had
cemented as they had not been since

believe that the attitude oi Mr..

his present administration was Tor

he will now pursue "A wiser and diier-
ent course. At least, let rs hope so,
