OF ACRES REPLANTED
Practically the Entire Crop Here Was
Killed,

( Farmers in Americus yesterday re-
ported continuation of the costly
work of replanting the cotton crop of
this section, which was practically
wiped out as the result of the April
freeze and unfavorable conditions re-
sulting. On nearly every plantation
in Sumter the crop has been replanted
to greater or less extent. Mr.. G. d.
Jones, one of the largest farmers in the
county, said yesterday that of 600
acres cultivated by his wages force he
would replant all but perhaps 40 acres.
And this is true oil other big farms as
we'll. The young cotton, which SEEM
ingly was uninjured, continues to die,
and farmers are blowing up the first
planting altogether and putting in a
second crop, This condition will Irena
der the new crop later than in sew
eral years.

In AmCricus, as throughout the
state, there is greatest interest in the
pending decision of the Railroad Com
mission relative to the proposed re-
duction in passenger rates in Georgia,
and there is much speculation as to
the final action of the commission
therein.
Several days ago some of the state
papers announced that the present
rate of cents might be changed to a
flat rate of 2 1-2 cents.
Nobody has authority to speak for
this commission, collectively or in
dividually, as to what it will do in the
matter of the passenger rate case"
says Chairman III. w. Hill.

made up our minds what will be done.

A PERSONAL STATEMENT

It has come to my ears during the past few days that the report is current that was participant in an attempt on the part of few citizens to "frams up" ticket and dictate the election which has just passed. I deny such an allegation most emphaticslly. knew nothing of any such attempt being made, nor do I now know of any such thing being done, although I heard of 1t as pure gossip. I attended the caucus en. tirely ignorant of whose names would be proposed, and voted according to my own personal convictions as to what persons would make the best officers for both town and school government. In voting, every good American citizen should cast his ballot entirely unpreju- diced, and that is exactly what did in this instance.
 lam endeavoring, in an humble way, to assist in building up the little town of Wrangell. and incidentally make a home and comfortable living for these who are nearest and dearest to me. know my business. 1 wish to have it distinctly understood that I am under the impression that possess gray mat ter sufficient to warn me against show ing any favoritism in regard to matters of business or indulge in any under handed or crooked methods in any kind of transaction; least of all 30 insig. niticant matter az an election in a town of this size.
 In town the size of Wrsnsell it Is a piece of aheerest folly for person who Is trying to make success of business of this kind to cater to any man or class of men His success depends upon his patronage from all classes, and trust that the reasonable people of the town give me credit for having better judg tnent than to mix in the personal likes or dislikes of any other person or class.
 I want as many friends and as few enemies as I can possibly have, and realize that the only way to get them is to attend to my own affairs, treat all fairly and squarely and toost for the upbuilding of the town in which we live. So, if anyone, care not who, makes any statement to you or in your hearing to the effect that I had any hand in any sort of secret conclave brought together for the purpose of formulating any sort of Q political slate, or that will show ANY MAN favor in preference to an- other in matter of business, you tell him that he is a eowardly, sneaking, lying cur, and you may call upon me to substantiats the truth of your state- ment. Yours for the relegation of petty ahtipathy and malicious bickerings,

RESULT OF
 ELECTION Two Tickets in the Field, But No Excitement or Violent
 Demonstrations INDEPENDENT TICKET ELECTED Re-electins Four Old councifnen and Three New Members for the
 Coming Year

With two tickets in tho field, the reg. ular annual municipal election passt d of Tuesday, April ?, in perfect peace, and became an item in the history of the town of Wrangell.
 Monday little surprise was sprung by the circulation of a fy.bill which read "Vote the Independent Ticket Straight and get square deal" When this ticket was nominated, we are not informed. However, it was good one. and contained the names of seven of
 Wrangell's conservative and successful
 business meh to fill the offices of coun. cilmen for the ensuing year. Besides endorsing the names of P. 0. McCor- mack, Donald Sinclair, H. D. Campbell and Dr. Wm. Hughes, all of whom ap- peared upon the Citizens Ticket, the
 Independent Ticket carried the names of John G. Grant, Walter Waters and
 Fred Willson, making an excellent and
 exceptionally strong ticket.
 While the voting and "'lectioneering"
 was carried on and entered into with 6 trife more interest than has formerly been shown, be 1t said to the credit of all citizens that there were no disgrace
 ful brawls or any other attemps at vio. lence, as usually attend elections in the larger towns or cities. and the election passed off So quietly as to cause scarcely . ripple of excitement.
 Following is list of the nominees, to- gsther with;the vote polled by each:
