mo JOINT DEBATE
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Hon. Joseph M. Brown Will
Try Different Plan.

Hon. Joseph M. Brown will not
canvass the state in his race for Gov
ernor, but will on the contrary - de-
vote himself to correspondence and
use of the daily papers to further his
cause.
Mr. Brown has given out the fol-
lowing statement of his Intentions
Il shall not attempt to canvass the
state from the stump. In the limited
time before the primary | would not
be able to visit but small proportion
of the cities and towns of Georgia. !
shall endeavor to reach the people by
letters and in the public press. The
campaign will be one of information
and the presentation of facts instead
of denunciation. Prosperity rather
than oratory is the need now. The
restoration of the reputation of Geor-
gia for wisdom, justice and modera-
ton, and the preservation of the com.
mercial, industrial and farming inter.
ests of the state, are the objects o1
my candidacy. | want to see every
laborer receiving good wages, as
he was before the present administra.
tion came into power. l want to see
every farmer receiving good prices
for his products, every capitalist re,
ceiving fair returns upon his invest
ments.
Il shall eschew personalisms which
are disassociated with public utter.
ances and records, and ask that my
friends do likewise. The people o1
Georgia are entitled to have issues
fairly presented; and if this be done
they will render verdict which they
will feel no need for afterwards re-
voking.
1.-The office of governor of Georgia
is too exalted to be gained as the
result of mudslinging.

COUNT OF TICKETS IS
GOING TO BE LONG
Result of Primary Known
Next Day.

AS other candidates announce for
Office at the primary here on April
18th, those already in the running are
wondering when the result of the vote
will be definitely known. Already
there are thirty-three names upon the
long ticket, and much time will be
required to scan each ballot and make
the entries upon the tally sheets. 1t
will be remembered that in a county
primary here a few years ago the
clerks and managers labored with the
count of ballots all of that night and
the next day, without stopping for
sleep or rest, and not until twenty
four hours after the polls closed was
the result of the election announced
officially In the meantime the cohort
of candidates slumbered in the tenn
pie or waited impatiently without un-
til the result was announced. And
with thirty-three candidates running
this time, history may be repeated.

JOHN D. WILLIAMS FOR
THE LEGISLATURE
Enters a Spirited Iriangu.
lar Race.

The legislative race in Sumter be-
comes today, for the first time, one of
interest in the entrance of Mr. John
D. Williams, whose candidacy is for
mally announced. Sumter has two
esats in the House, and up to this
time there were only two announced
candidates, but the announcement of
Mr.. Williams will arouse new inter-
est for this office. Mr. Williams
is one of Sumters biggest citizens
and one of the best. Not only is he
big in stature and a big farmer, but
his heart and brain are proportion
ately large, and his list of friends lar
ger still Mr.. Williams is a repres-
entative citizen and farmer, and now
he desires to be a representative in
fact and if Sumter's voters elect him
at the primary in April 18th they will
have in him an able representative
indeed; one with the ability to do
and the courage to do it. Popular
with the masses, a man who has made
a success of his affairs, he would very
ably represent Sumter in the legis-
lature, and the large vote he will
receive on April 18th will fully en-
phasize the firm belief of the people
of Sumter upon that point.

HUSTLIN6 FOR
NEW MEMBERS
Board of Trade Committee
to Work Next Week.

An active canvass for new members
for the Board of Trade will be begun
next week by the Membership Com
mittee. All business and professional
men of the city not now enrolled in
the organization will be approached
and the advantages both to the indi-
vidual and to the city by their be-
coming identified with the organization
presented
A special effort will be made to get
the young men of the city to take
part, it being the belief of the COM
mittee that an affiliation with the
organization on the part of this eIe-
ment will be to the distinct advantage
of the young men,
Preparations for the annual ban
quet are being pushed Definite an
nouncements will probably be made
in a~-- ~1ys ds 10 the time and
place. The enthusiasm which has
been engendered within the ranks of
the Board of Trade in the recent past
is approaching white heat, and the
committee having the banquet in
charge find that the members of the
organization are determined to make
the dinner an event surprising any
thing of the kind ever held here.
Plans on foot bid fair to accomplish
this result.

THE VOTER IS GIGGED
NOT ONCE BUT THRICE
Candidate Was Bound to
Land Him.

When an Americus candidate goes
after a voter he generally strings him
the first whack, but if other whacks
are needed to effect a landing they are
forthcoming. Yesterday a candidate
lurking in ambush near the court
house spied a good fat voter and gig
ged him. The debate seemed salts
factory, and in due time the wrig-
Cling voter was released, only to be
impaled again half hour later, the
candidate in his eagerness having
forgotten the first gabfest But even
this glaring error was overlooked by
the surprised voter as he took the
second dose of reasons why he should
vote for this able aspirant. But when
the alert job chaser, twenty minutes
later, got his harpoon into the same
voter down on Cotton avenue, and
began singing the third little ditty
human endurance exceeded the speed
limit and boiler explosion would

GONE HOME TO
SPEND EARNINGS

NEW YORK, March 20-(SpeciaD =
Dressed in their best clothes, the Gin
qui family, who have sold vegetables
and fruit to many families on the
upper West Side for a dozen years,
sailed for Italy on Saturday. The
departure of Mr. and Mrs. Ontonio
Cinqui was accomplished by the sin
cere regret of their customers, to
whom Mrs. Cinqui of Saturday was
merely Rosie" Tony and Rosie came
to New York when they were bride
and groom. They sailed away with
$4,000 and six children. The little
shop in which the money was made
was in Amsterdam Avenue near Eigh-
ty-fourth Street, where also was the
home in which the family grew.
The financial ascendency of the Gin
quis was gradual First they~started
with a push cart bearing grapes, cher
ries, oranges, pineapples and pears.
Then they leased a little stand in Am
sterdam Avenue Wedged between a
tinshop and laundry. The personaH-
ties of Tony and Rosie attracted trade,
and they fiourished. Then the child
rem came. The next stage in the pro-
gress of the couple was the leasing
of the little shop, where their busi-
ness expanded. Women left the more
pretentious places in Broadway for
Rosie, for with her they were GER
tain of a glowing smile and fair treat
ment.
On Saturday morning the cry was

MEAD Is A DRINK IN
FAVOR IN AMERICUS

Americus now takes her Malt
Mead along with her other soft
drinks, and the beverage is already
quite popular. There has been con-
siderable discussions as to whether
Mead comes entirely under this head,
but the fact that Judge Calhoun of
Atlanta has made ruling in favor of
the beverage would indicate it's clas-
sification. In this connection Judge
Calhoun held that a drink known as
Malt Mead" which contains less
than 1 per cent of alcohol, is not an
intoXicant, and directed a verdict dis
charging a man accused of violating
the prohibition law In several Geor-
gia cities this popular beverage is be-
ing dispensed from soda fountains.

TO SCRATCH A TICKET,
OR NOT TO SCRATCH
Committee to Decide it
Today.

ITO scratch or not to scratch; that
is the question" And this matter of
scratching is causing the county exc
cutive committee to scratch their
craniums in an effort to scratch up a
plan whereby they may scratch the
scratcher.
For threats of scratching at the
primary for the nomination of county
officers have been heard and the exc
cutive committee has been asked to
rule upon this point.
The complaint made regards the
county commissioners race.
And it has come to members of the
executive committee that in some
localities only one candidate of the
ten offering for county commissioner
will be voted for; the voters in these
certain localities single Shooting"
their one man in the race.
And it is to inquire into these ru-
mors and suggest remedy therefor
that brings the committee together
again today
Will the committee rule against this
Single shotting?"
The general belief is that it will,
and a rule adopted requiring a voter
to vote for the required number of
candidates, which is five
This, it would seem, is but fair and
democratic
Ten representative citizens, all
good men, have offered for county
commissioners places. Only five are
to be elected, and from the total of
ten candidates the voter will select
the five of his choice and vote for
all of them.
There is no reason why this should
not be done, and many good reasons
