VOTER IS AGAIN TO
GET INTO The SWIM
Fill Vacancy on Aldermanic
Board.
Mr.. wEsrsRook TO WITHDRAW
As Nominee of Recent Primary Thus
NscesSltating Another Election
Several Candidates May Contest
r or the Vacancy.

Americas is to have still another
supply vacancy on the aldermanic
ticket to be voted in the regular city
election for mayor, city clerk and three
aldermen, to be held Dec, 12th-two
weeks hence.
This unexpected situation s brought
about by the retirement of Mr.. T. B.
Westbrook, one of the aldermanic NOM
inees of the recent primary.
And it is quite an unusual one in af-
fairs municipal.
Mr.. Westbrook was nominated by a
flattering vote in the October primary,
but since that time he has purchased an
interest in a large plantation near
Americus and proposes removing there
shortly, thus removing his citizenship
hence.
And this will create a vacancy on the
aldermanic ticket.
And a second primary election to
supply this contemplated vacancy will,
of course, be necessary.
The regular city election, wherein
Mr.. Westbrook would have been duly
elected for a term of two years, will be
held on 18th inst. The pr; mary can be
held any day prior to five days preced-
ing that election, which will make it
within week.
In the event of such primary the
same voters who participated in the
October primary for mayor and alder
men will vote therein. There will
probably be several candidates, as at
least three well known citizens are ex-
pected to enter the contest.
The city executive committee will
take the necessary steps in the premises
in due time and fix the date of the
second primary.

COURT IS GOING TO
TAKE UP CASES
This Morning to Reassign
All Not Tried.
oFI~eoRrANcE TO ATTORNEYS
Civil Business viii Continue On Ne 1t
Week-Maddox Case Comes to a
Halt and Goes Over Until Next
Session.

Judge Il. A. Littlejohn announced
yesterday that the trial of cases upon
the civil docket would be continued on
next week; and also that cases set for
this week but not reached for trial
would be reassigned for trial next week
at the session this morning.
This announcement is of Importance
to attorneys interested.
The civil docket is not crowded with
cases ofimportance, and it is altogether
probable that this docket will be dis
posed of next week and criminal bust
ness started soon thereafter.
The case of Maddox VS.. the Seaboard
Railway, complaint for damages for
alleged personal injuries, came to an
abrupt halt Yesterday morning and goes
over until the May term 1907, although
nearly four days had already been con-
sumed in the trial,
Counsel for the plaintiff, j. B. Mad
dox, desired yesterday to amend their
original petit IN, thus bringing about a
suspension of the case for the time. 1t
is the most important civil case at this
term of the court, the plaintiff suing
the road for $50, 900 damages.
And thus after several days of trial
it goes over for the term.
The only other case taken up yester-
day was that fElla Lumpkin, a negro
woman, versus the Central Railway
for personal damages, in which she
was awarded verdict for 5000.
The woman was driving to town,
perched upon bale of cotton, when
an engine frightened her mule at the
Cotton avenue crossing, causing the
animal to run. She was thus dumped
into the street and received injuries for
which pay was demanded.
Thus far the session of court has been
devoid of special interest, few cases
having been tried

REMOVE OR SELL ENTIRE STOCK

portant Announcement.

PinkstOn Co., have just thirty days
,, wherein to sell their entire stock or else
remove it, as on January 1st their
store will be turned over to contractors
and carpenters for enlargement and
entire overhauling. The thought of
removing such an immense stock of
drygoOds, clothing, ladies tailored
suits, shoes, notions, etc. is simply out
of the question, and rather than at
tempt it Plnkston & Co., have deter
mined to throw the entire immense
stock on the market at slaughter sale
and for whatever it will bring. When
this firm advertises a sale the trade
knows just what to expect. And in
this instance the knife will be put into
the quick. Prices will not be con-
sidered, and during the month of
December the trade will get the benefit
of seasonable goods at cost or below.
The firm has been preparing for this
monster sale for several days, and 1t
will begin Monday morning with a
rush and be continued through the
holidays.

SAC IFICED

Owing to a COnte mplated change

sacrifice This is unquestiOnabIy
the finest stock of Dry Goods, Cloth.
ing, Ladies' TaiIOr-Made Suits, Car.
pets, Rugs Mattings and everything
pertaining to the business that the
people of Americas and all Southern
Georgia ever had an opportunity to
buy at such enormous reductions
right in the midst of the best part Of
the season. Our object in putting on
the sale now is that the stock is 50
large it could not be closed out in "a
few days time after Christmas Most
people buy the greater part of their
winter goods before Christmas. so in
order to accomplish our purpose it
