A ROUNDUP OF VOTERS
MADE BY RUNNERS
Grand SOrtie Just Before
the Battle.

Opposing armies upon the eve of
battle never got buster than did the
Grand Army of Sumter yesterday, as
the cOhOrt Of candidates made a dash
at the invading host of voters assem-
bled here from the hills and dales to
view the candidatal lineup and pick
the winers
And like veterans of a hundred bat
tletields the candidates carried all by
impetuOus storm
1t was the final Saturday before the
battle Of ballots next Wednesday. Ev-
cry candidate, while perfectly conf
dent that he-~was elected already,
wanted to see the boys" about it
once again.
And again the boys" assured him
that all was Well
With this day scratched off the cal
endar, there are but two working days
ere the race ends and the fight is
won. There are thirty-three aspir-
ants for seats in the courthouse, with
only sixteen chairs to be filled and
half the bunch is already doomed to
disappointment.
And this, of course, means the other
fellow seeking the job.
And down in his heart each candi-
date really feels pity for the "Other
fellow" after the comfortable Job he
also is chasing.
While there is interest in the race
for all offices where determined oppo-
sitiOn has developed, the county COM
missiOners race creates more interest
perhaps than any other For this
office ten have been called where
but five are to be chosen.
An open and shut proposition that
half of the bunch are doomed to dis
appointment
Messrs. 7. B. Hooks, John A Nc
Donald, Frank Sheffield, George Oil
yer, A. F. Hodges, H. J. Webb, j. H.
Daniel, John T. Ferguson, ]. F. Boil
ton and j. l.. Chambliss are in the
running for the five commissioners
places.
And the scratching" done upon the
ticket would reflect credit upon the
most Industrious dOminecker.
For the bride is off, and one can
scratch like he had the itch.
The legislative race between Col. ].
e Sheppard, Col Fletcher w Grif-
fin, and Col John d. Williams will
add a tabascO flavor to the candidatal
feast. Two are to be elected and
this race is going to be of the "11O
in the shade kind until the last vote
has been counted.
The sheriff's race, that for the office
Of city court solicitor. tax receiver
ard tax collector will keep interest
up to the highest notch until the re-
suit is announced.

ROYAL THE GREETING
GIVEN THE MASONS
Citizens of Plains Welcome
Guests.

Representatives Of the Americus
lodges attending the Masonic meet
ing at Plains on friday evening re-
turned yesterday morning, and were
quite enthusiastic over the cordial
welcome accorded the many visi-
tors and the complete success of
this occasion.
About eighty MasOns, representing
Americus lodge No. 13, Council No
95, and the lodges at DeSoto, Smith
Vile, Preston and Richland were
among the guests of honor
And the good people of Plains, as
a whole assisted Furlow Lodge of
that place in the entertainment of
it's honored guests.
A superb supper had been spread
in the beautiful oak grove near the
Masonic Lodge, and myriad lights
transformed this enchanted spot into
a veritable fairyland. Handsome
matrons and beautiful maidens added
charm to the scene.
The ladies had entire charge of
the supper, a fact which attested it's
success, while pretty young girls as
sisted in serving the delicious yiands,
so temptingtly arranged
The menu of roast turkey, chicken,
barbecue and salads, followed by an
ice course, was a tempting one and
heartily enjoyed.
Hon. John A. Mcdonald, presided
as master of ceremonies, and most
happily did he enact the role.
When the visitors had finished the
banquet, "a feast of reason and a
flow of SOUL" followed in the many
speeches delivered. Mr.. Mcdonald,
upon behalf of Furlow Lodge, well
coined the visiting brethren, response
being made by Judge Charles R.
Crisp.
Rev. Charles A. Philips, of Plains,
wasl toastmaster, and introduced the
speakers of the occasion.
Col. E. A. Nisbet's address upon
The Ladies. and Their Relationship
to Masonry" was a masterpiece of
finished oratory, delivered with char
acteristic grace and eloquence. With
such a theme from which to draw in
spiration, he charmed the assem-
blage.
Rev Bascom Anthony, in a man
ner most pleasing, spoke upon Mas
onry, his quaint humor in the begin
ming giving way later to a more ser
iOus vein wherein he delivered one
of the most finished and forceful ad-
dresses ever made upon such Occa-
sion.
These gentlemen were followed by
others in short, impromptu talks, the
whole making up a feast of oratOry
that delighted everyone.

that for years he had chills and fever,

returned, he became stronger, the fever

Some people prefer to take tablets,
rather than to take medicine in fluid
form. Such people can obtain Peruna
tablets, which represent the medicinal
ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is
equivalent to one average dose Of Pc

Mr.. COUNCIL NOW OWNS
HOSPITAL BUILDING
Bought the Property for
Association.

Mr. Charles NJ Council purchased
yesterday from the owners of the pro-
perty, the Hospital building now
occupied by the Americus Hospital
Association under lease from the for
mer owners, and is now ready to
turn it over to the Hospital Associa-
ton.
And thus a long cherished dream
OF ownership is about to be realized
by that splendid organization.
Mr.. Council acted upon his own
good Judgment in thus acquiring this
valuable property, feeling that it was
to the best interests of the Associa-
ton to own the building
This, as stated, has long been the
desire of the Hospital Board, and
negotiations to that end have been
discussed for some time. While Mr..
Council acted upon his own behalf, he
really bought the property expecting
to turn over to the Association.
The price paid by Mr. Council was
S2,250, and the Association will get
it at exactly the same cost price-$2,-
250
The property was offered for sale
quite recently at a much higher fig
ure, and the price paid yesterday by
Mr.. Council is considered most reas-
enable. The Association, no doubt,
will appreciate fully his deep inter
est in its affairs.
The hospital building is we'll equip
ped for the purpose, the Association
having thus expended a large sum
in furniture and equipment, thereby
rendering the building most comfort
able and well adapted to the pur-
pose intended
The Association is now paying $50
per month rent for the building, and
the lease has two years of existence.
In owning the property a considerable
saving in rental will be effected.

In the case of Berner and "The
Fair" store versus the Mayor and
City Council of Americus, petition for
injunction, the plaintiffs won out and
the temporary restraining order is
made permanent. The case was heard
yesterday before Judge Z. A. Little
john, the plaintiffs being represented
by Col. W. T. Lane while City Attorn-
ey Manyard, Messrs j. B. Hudson

the store of Berner, the allegation be-
ing that said firm came under the
head of ''itinerants" The firm Sc
cured, through Attorney w. r. Lane,
a temporary injunction restraining
the city from collecting said license
tax, and is sustained therein
