PRIMARY IS
WEEK OFF
Only Three In
the Race for
Mayor
None Seeking Place of
Alderman As Yet

The municipal primary, upon the
result of which so largely hinges
the progress and prosperity of Am
ericus for a quarter century, is just
one week off from tomorrow, and
more than usual interest is manifest
ed in the campaign now waged
Good, safe, conservative business
/ men are needed in the several vacan-
cies to be filled at the election on
December Bird.
And the voters can be depended on
to make the selection
AT present there are three candi-
dates in the race for the mayoralty-
Messrs. ]. s. Bolton, w. T. Lane, and
G. R. Ellis, and from these the sell
ection will be made, unless there are
to be other entries still.
All are we'll known citizens and
business men. and each will have
strong following.
On the aldermanic side there is
little doing as yet
The political dogfall" of Mon
day night, the result of the "citi-
zens" meeting, was the theme of
interesting discussion in all circles
yesterday. The alleged purpose of
the meeting was to put out a ticket,
but this. was thwarted.
Opposition, fierce and determined,
nullified the meeting and aldermanic
combinations on either side are up
in the air.
Upon all sides yesterday citizens
were discussing the "Dodson con-
tract" and municipal ownership of
the water and light plant. Both pro-
positions have adherents, and the
fight upon this issue, it seems, will
be forced at the polls
Champions of both sides are dis
cussing candidates, and announce
ments are confidently expected within
day or two.

TEACHERS AND VETS
WAITING FOR CASH
State is Very Short of
Coin Now.

Veterans all over the state have
been clamoring for the payment of
their fourth quarters pension money
which the quarterly payment law
requires shall be paid before Decem-
Der 10. The amount is approximate
ly 1892, 900, but there is only $66 1000
in the treasury today A sufficient
amount may come in to enable the
state to meet the payment by that
date, but if it does not the Governor
still has the right to borrow $150,-
600 to help meet the payments, as
he has only borrowed $4,000 to date.
But what he is going to do about
meeting the payments for public
schools is a problem This years
appropriations to schools was $1,000
OO0 of which up to date only $780,
600 has been paid Returns from
taxes will begin to come in about
Dec /, but it is doubtful if anything
like sufficient returns will be received
to meet this obligation before some
time in February.

WILL NOMINATE
ALDERMAN TONIGHT
Adjourned Meeting of Pc
titiOn SignerS

An adjourned session of the mov-
ers in the meeting of Monday night
at the city hall will be held tonight,
for the purpose of selecting three
candidates for alderman 1t will be
recalled that the first meeting failed
to nominate The place for to-
nights meeting has not yet been
selected. 1t is probable that some
test will be applied as to the qualifi-
cations of participants.
Leaders of the movement on yes
terday expressly disclaimed any pro-
ject to nominate men who would be
expected to wage war on the Dodson
contract, repudiating any expression
of individuals on that subject 1t is
proposed to nominate three promin-
ent citizens who have only the best
interests of the city at heart No
platform will be adopted, the nomi-
ness being left to the exercise Of
their best judgment on any ques-
tion coming up.

Excellent Material.

morning, the following new officers
of the church will be ordained:
Elders, Mr. L. p Gartner, Mr.. R.

With these added to the former Of
ficials, the Church has an excellent
and highly efficient Board of Off,
GERS. The church is decidedly on the
up grade, both its spiritual and its
material interests being well cared
for Since January l there have been
over twenty-five additions to the
church, but unfortunately during the
same period there has been an unus-
ually large number of removals, so
that the net gain is small The fin
ances of the church have been ably
managed and it is in a prosperous
state throughout The outlook ap-
parently was never brighter than at
the present time.

TO ORGANIZE FIRE
INSURANCE GO
St. Louis Man Impressed
With AmeriCuS

For the purpose of organizing an
insurance company with a capital
stock of 100000 Mr.. w. Scott
Thorne of st. Louis was in Americus
yesterday. He is an experienced in
surance man, and having decided to
spend the winter in the South, and
hearing of the many advantages, both
in climate and location, of this city,
decided to come here first He dis
cussed his plans with a number of

matter more in earnest. He believes
that small insurance company can
save money for its members and
keep all the money right in Georgia
and surrounding states.

BIG RUSH IN BUSINESS
MARKS THE METROPOLIS

Mr.. T. L. Bell returned to Ameri-
Gus yesterday from business trip
to Birmingham, where he resided
for several years, and declares that
business conditions in the Alabama
metropolis were never better.
There are no sales on to demor-
alize business said Mr.. Bell, yet
there is a fine trade and merchants
are most cheerful" F"
Some months ago conditions were
not so bright there, as the result OF
the long-continued strike of the min
ers, but that is all settled now and
in every line of trade and business
there is veritable boom.
Real estate is fairly soaring" said
Mr.. Bell A lot that | sold on leaving
there for Americus for $500 has since
sold for $4,000 and is worth more
now"
