mated. 1t will then be in order fol
all who voted the Democrat ticket
at the primary to support the nom.
inees of the party regardless OF
whether they we're your choice be-
fore or the primary or not. In TAX
ing part in nominating a Democrat
ic ticket you pledged yourself to
support the nominees of the party.
At this time before the primary
election comes off we do not know
whether or not we are for all the
successful ones by this we mean
we do not know that the ticket we
shall vote at the primary will be
the winner or not but we will vote
for the men whom we think will
make the best officials. If a major
ity of the Democratic votes think
otherwise and nominate other men
we will heartily support the ticket
which Democrats nominate. Every
one who takes part in the primary
is expected to do the same.

BIENNIAL REVISION

Commissioners Week S

The biennial compilation of the

yesterday morning by the Jury Com
mission, Chairman j. F. Bolton pres
iding. AS the lists to be gone through
are voluminous, the work will prob
ably occupy the remainder of the
week
In preparing the list the Commits
sioners will use the county tax list
and the registration lists. All who are
considered eligible for jury duty
will be selected, and then hundreds OF
names will be dropped because the
same names have been in the jury
lists recently. The idea of the Com
missioners is to keep the lists chang
ing, so as to- give all citizens an equal
chance at the honor.
1t is probable that some 500 names
will be left, which is about the num-
ber usually provided. These names
will be used for the next two years in
making up all juries, both grand and

NEW BANK STARTS
OFF IN GOOD SHAPE
Commercial City Located
in Historic Building.

Under favorable auspices the Com
mercial City Bank began it's career
yesterday. A number of substantial
accounts were opened with the insti-
tuition, while smaller depositors were
also represented Checks from other
banks were offered, and paid, and the
institution took on the atmosphere of
an established bank from the very
start. 4jEM
The banking room of the new finan-
cial institution is an historic one. In
it was located the oldest of Americus'
banking institutions. In it was or
ganized the old Americus, Preston &
Lumpkin railroad, and later the Sea-
board road was launched in the direc-
tors room of this bank building. The
bank which was behind the Georgia
& Alabama road was located at the
same site, as well as the Improvement
Company working in conjunction
Herewith.
Yesterday Vice-President Craw-
ford Wheatley and Cashier McNulty
presided at the windows with ease and
skill. both having been identified with
Americus banks for many years.
All business usually transacted by
like institutions viii be carried on
by the Commercial City bank, includ-
ing the buying and selling of ex-
change, receiving and caring for de-
posits, and making of loans.
The capital stock of the bank is
$50, 1000. The addition of the name
of Mr.. F. w. Griffin to the Board of
Directors will no doubt prove a good
business stroke for the stockholders.
