statement concerning their chances of election last night, and the following were given out by the several managers:
 From the Simmons Chairman.
 Henry R. Howze. chairman of the Sim mons campaign committee:
 'T have conducted our campaign, which closed tonight, on high principles, free from personalities, innuendoes or mud. singing and I feel confident MT. Sim mons will be nominated for mayor by large majority. While it now seems that he has enough votes to win in the pri- mary, still 1t is possible that a second race will be necessary. have no doubt of MT. Simmons getting more votes on Monday than any other candidate, and If my predictions are fulfilled, I believe 1t will be the result of conservative, painstaking and business-like methods.
 For the past eighteen years MT. Sim mons has been a citizen of Birmingham, actively engaged In business enterprises that have contributed to the upbuilding of the city, and his record is too well known for any honest minded citizen to believe for moment that he could be in- fiuenced in his official duties by any individuals or set of men.
 During our canvass we have endeav- ored to enlist to his support all classes of citizens, believing that no particular class should have any particular candi- date, but that the mayor of Birmingham should represent all citizens alike. By this course we have had hundreds to pledge MT. Simmons their votes, as they realize there are no issues in this race, but that it is merely preference of each individual voter for some particular can didate.
 -'Mr. Simmons has never desired to win on the demerits of his opponents, but has stood squarely on his past record. and If successful 1t will be the reward of an honest endeavor to upbuild the city in which he is so deeply interested, and keep its financial credit on footing sec ond to no municipality in the land.
 T thank those hundreds of citizens in every walk in life who have promised to vote for MT. Simmons and solicit the votes of all whom we have been unable to see in person, assuring each and every one that MT. Simmons, if elected mayor, will conduct the affairs of this city as the affairs of an individual or corporation should be conducted-in a business-lihe manner"
 o'NeilI Feels Certain.
 Secretary E. E. Kersh of the John w. O'Neill committees:
 "The campaign draws to its close in the most satisfactory manner to our forces. Our candidate has fought a clean fight and he will win the race.
 There is one thing that is most en- couraging to us, and Is that each of the other candidates claim that they will have to make the race with MT. O'Neill in the run off, should there be such a thing. I do not care to deal in figures. but we have every indication pointing to en easy plurality in the first primary. Even a majority is not out of the ques- tion.
 q will say this, however-Mr O'Neill is stronger at the close of the contest than some of his ardent admirers had ex- rected at the beginning six weeks ago. You learn more of MT. O'Neill by close association, and the more closely you | gre associated with him, the more certain

Colt Show Prosperous.

The stockholders meeting of the
Clarke County Horse and Colt
Show Association last Saturday was
we'll attended, and the report of
the Secretary vas an excellent one.
The Association has built 81 new
box stalls, an exhibitors stand and
a bandstand, and graded the show
ring at cost of $500. The indebt-
edness of 1850 has been paid. and
there is nearly 800 surplus in the
treasury.
This shows that the Association
cleared $500 at It's last meeting.
The Association has been running
three years, and in that time has
held four meetings.
The result shows that they own
about 30 acres of fground. all fenced.
100 new box stalls, elegant grand
stand, exhibitors stand, Judges

cost them about $1,000. They have
only issued $4,000 of stock. there

cleared on an average of $1,000 at
each meeting.
Now that the buildings and
grounds have been completed with
the exception of having to enlarge
them on account Of the great
crowds which attend the show. the
prospects for the future are very
bright, and with the same conser-
vative management will in the
next few years be a good paying
investment to the stockholders as
we'll as a great source of pleasure
and amusement to the people at
large, and highly profitable to the
farmers and stock raiserS. as it
Will encourage them 10 raise fine

The work of the officers of the
Association Is to be commended in
every way, and every citizen of
the County should feel personal
pride in the good showing thus far
made.
