RICHMOND, Va. October GA spe-
cial congressional election in the ninth
district. for the purpose of naming a sue
cessor to the late Col. Campbell SIemp,
will be called for either December II or

Der II will be the date. Gov. Swanson
now has the matter under consideration.
There Is reason to believe that efforts
are being made by the democrats to hay,
Gen. Rufus A. Ayres enter the Campaign
Judge William F. Rhea has also baen
urged to enter the contest.
There are a number of republicans who
are eager for the fray. Basconb Slemp.

lican leader in the state: L. p Summe:
David Bailey, A. P. Gillespie, J. C. Noel

The democrats will probably make a
strong fight to wrest the district from the
republicans and send a full delegation to
Washington.

case of the grounding of the battleshir
Kentucky on Lambert point, Hampton
roads just received at the Navy Depart
ment. exonerates from blame Capt. Barry
the commander, who was on the bridge p;
the time the vessel ran ashore. 1t is
shown that the accident was due to the
crowded condition Of the roadstead. there
being two or three golfers anchored there
at the time. This Is a condition not infre-
quent in Hampton roads. and it is said
to be constant menace to the safety OF
the battleships and other vessels 1t is

Real Estate Market.

Real estate in Columbus is boom
ing-that is, not at fictitious values
but at real, solid, substantial valua-
tions The demand was never better
and there was never as little offered
as at the present time. To show you
the volume of business being done
in the local market, Mr.. Chas. Sher-
rod a large dealer in Columbus prop
erty. stated few days ago that he
had sold over twenty thousand dol
lars worth of property in this city
within the past forty days. Other
dealers and agents have had a large
business, and the near future prom
city has had for a long time. 1t is
estimated that fifty thousand dollars
worth of property has changed hands
in this city within the last thirty days
and the demand continues.
And when one anaIyzes the situa-
ton here, it is understood why in
vestors are placing their money here.
Two of our large industrial plants
here are over their financial diff
culties, and are out of the courts;
and with the realization that it is
only a matter of time before they
will begin operations, and the fact
that another large manufacturing
plant has located here, which has al
ready begun preliminary operations
upon a large scale, it is understood
why people are investing.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The abolition of the house-to-house
canvass upon the part of the county
candidates, which this paper suggest
ed some weeks ago, seems to meet
with the general approval of not only
the candidates themselves, but the
people as well. The suggestion was
made in the hope of relieving the can
didates and the people of this politi-
cal drudgery, and with the belief that
it would tend to put local politics
upon higher plane in this section.
Nearly every candidate who has
express ed an opinion within the hear
ing of the writer favors the sugges-
ton, and the people are a unit in it's
behalf. The plan proposed is for the
candidates 10 agree to omit the house
toulouse feature of the vote getting.
1t is not proposed TO prevent attend
ance upon public gatherings. where
the people congregate and where an
opportunity is presented to meet and
mingIe with large numbers of the
voters, but to do away with the still
hunt, the ride over the county, the
house-to-house visit, which consumes
so much time, which causes such
hardships, which interrupts the work
of the farmers to such a great extent
The plan to be followed, if it mate
rializes. will be for the candidates
to sign an agreement explicitly set
ting forth what they are permitted
to do and what they are not permit
ted to do, and any violation of this
agreement would cause such reac-
tion against the candidate guilty of
it that there would be no danger of |
it being broken.
The matter is up to the candidates
themselves, and if they desire it such |
an agreement can be written and car
ried out. The people would certainly |
welcome it.

Horsewhipping.

cealed weapons, and assault and bat
were called as witnesses, sworn testi-
mony being taken, including City

None of the witnesses swore that

stage OF the episode. and one only
swore that he saw a pistol at ALL
Mayor Rivers then discharged Mr.
Murray on the concealed weapon case
but fined him five dollars on the as
saul and battery charge.
According to the testimony it was
shown that Murray did not strike
Jenkins, nor attempt to strike him
until the latter applied an epithet
that no man allows to pass unresent-
ed. After the disposition of the case
today Mr.. Murray stated that he had
refused to make any statement at the
time of the occurrence, believing that
it would be for the best to have the
public get the facts as brought out
at the trial today than to be regaled
with statements from the principal
of the occurrence himself.
