The democratic executive committee
of Glynn county will meet at the
courthouse this morning for the pur-
pose of selecting a date for the pri-

the candidates, if not all of them, a.
vor the primary for some time during
the latter part Of April or the first of
May, and if the members of the com

desire of the candidates it is known
that they will so decide.
Heretofore Glynn county has held
her primary on the same date as the
state primary, but as the state cleo
ton will not occur until August, an
early county election is desired by
the candidates as we'll as a majority
of the voters.

But Referee Isaac Has Not Rendered
Decision in Champagne Case.

Ehe petition of Jos. Champagne,
proprietor of the Bellevue hotel and
other property on st. Simon, who
was recently thrown into involuntary
bankruptcy, claiming that the case
should be thrown out of court owing
to the fact that he was not resident
of the state N,nen the petition was
filed by his creditors, was argued be
fore Referee Isaac Thursday. but the
referee has not as yet rendered his
decision in the matter.
1t is claimed in the bankrupt's pc
tition that at the time the proceed
ings were instituted against him that
he was q resident CT Jacksonville and
not Brunswick. and therefore the case
should be thrown ont Of court. On the
other hand the creditors claim that
Champagne never removed his resi-
dence from Brunswick. bat simply
went to Jacksonville for the winter,
and that he is attempting to throw
the case out on false grounds. A de-
cision in the case will probably be
handed down early next week.

While it is net yet known exactly
how many machines will enter from
Brunswick, it is understood that at
least three or four will be in the run
and larger number may enter. There
are quite a large number of automo-
biles in this city which would have
an excellent chance of capturing some
of the prizes if they go into the con-
test. ~
The blanks show three classes, and
in all there will be six prizes. two in
each class. Conditions and rules for
. the run have been previously pub
lished. iir

, entries are being made daily, and the
i success of the run is already assured.
/ President Bruce yesterday received
a letter from Hon. B. Atkinson, of
Camden county, announcing that the
roads through Camden had been re-
paired and are now in an excellent
conditicn. Other counties on the
route have also made improvements,
while in Glynn county the roads are
/ in a better condition than ever.
1t is understood that Secretary
; Solomon, of the Savannah Automobile
club, will make trip to Brunswick
and probably &c through to Jackson
. vile some time during the coming.
week. This trip will be for the pur-
| pose of making a final inspection of
| the roads before the run.
Brunswick is taking great interest
| in this endurance run and the visitors
who will spend an afternoon and
evening in the city, will be enter
tanned, local committees being in
charge of the program.
