1T WILL ALL BE OVER FRIDAY
THE COUNTY PRIMARY is NOW
BUT TWO DAYS OFF.
The Runners Are on the Home
Stretch, and the Finish Is Being
Watched With Interest.

1t will soon be over-that is, the
anxiety and suspense of the candi-
dates who have opposition.
The county primary will occur on
Friday, and there are only two more
days in which to cultivate the voter.
There is opposition for only two of
the offices, and considerable interest
is manifested in these races. Messrs.
]. R. Irwin and w. S. Thornton are
contesting for the state senatorship,
and Tax Collector A. L. McLendon
is being opposed by Mr.. Charles w.
Gunnels The friends of each of
these gentlemen are confident that
the verdict of the votes will be in
their favor, and will keep hard at
W2rk until the polls close.
There is no opposition to Mr.. M.
II. Marshall, Jr., for representative
! w. S. Dozier for clerk, M. G. Hill for
sheriff, B. B. Perry for treasurer
l.. G. PinkstOn for tax receiver, ]. E.
Waller for surveyor, and C. T. Buch-
AMMAN for coroner.
Mr.. j. l.. Jennings, a popular
young man and good citizen of the
Twelfth district, was in the race for
tax receiver until Saturday, when he
withdrew and left Mr.. Pinkston a
clear field
1t is expected that the usual num-
Der of votes will be polled, but moth
ing like that of two years ago, when
the red-hot gubernatorial campaign
was on.

CUNNERY AT SANTIAGO
SUBJECT OF CONTROVERSY

the life of the grant given the COM
pany many years ago by the state
legislature, Judge Grier, in the circuit
court yesterday, held that the corpor-
alton was given perpetual succession
and that the clause limiting the COM
pany to 25 years for the exclusive
manufacture of gas was not a limita-
tion of the term, but qualification
of the franchise. Judge Grier based
his decision on the Chicago gas case,
decided in the Illinois supreme court.
At the same time he ruled against
the company on a number of technical
points in its pleadings; the company
however, regards the decision as a vic
tory, because the life of the franchise
was the leading issue.
