Declines to Enter Scramble, and Re-

One of the most interesting an

since the scramble began for the
seat of the lamented Griggs in con-
gress was that of Editor H. VI. Nc
Intosh over his signature in the AL
bany Herald of Friday afternoon.
He had been generally recognized as
one of the strongest, if not the
strongest, man apt to be in the race,
and almost a complete surprise was
occasiOned when the announcement
came from him that he would not be
candidate.
Editor Mcintosh takes what is con-
sidered high ground" He states
that he has no political ambition
whatever, and only consented to en-
ter the race under conditions which
are now generally known. Devel-
opments of the last few days, how
ever, have led him to reconsider his
announced determination. Follow

FAVORS DRAINAGE OF SOUTRS SWAMP LANDS
Mr. Mercer Says Government Should Undertake This Work
Well as That of Irrigang the Arid Lands of the West

Thus my brief political and my
business career and my entire life
constitute the claims that l may
have for your support. l think that
/ can point with pardonable pride
to this record.
If elected | can promise no great
revolution, but will apply to the
Office conservative business methods
stand for and advocate every prin-
ciple set out in the platform of the
Democratic party, and in case of my
election will especially advocate in
ternal improvements, as well as con-
servation of forests and natural re-
sources.
The government is paying about
thirty per cent. rental for postoffice
buildings in small towns. 1t should
build and equip it's own Offices, by
the issue of bonds at two per cent
interest, and thereby save millions
of dollars yearly to the tax payers
This would incidentally provide mar
ket and demand for material and give
employment to thousands of work
men.
The general government has wise
ly committed itself to the principle
of drainage and irrigation, by it's aid
in irrigating the arid lands of the
West. Why not aid in draining the
swamp lands of the South?
If elected | shall make a special
effort to secure aid and governmental
interest in the drainage of the swamp
lands of the country. Many acres
Of fine farm lands of South Georgia
could thus be reclaimed and made
healthful and fit for cultivation.
This, if accomplished, would add mill
lions of dollars to the wealth of the
nation, and furnish homes in this
section of the state to thousands of
citizens.
May I not have your support?
Does not this appeal merit your con-
sideration? | hope to hear from you,
and will greatly appreciate your vote.
Respectfully, JOHN r. MERCER.

THAT ALLEGED DAWSON CAUCUS
The Facts About McIntOsh's Visit to
the Griggs Home.

The facts about a caucus alleged
to have been held in Dawson are
given in a special dispatch to the
Macon Telegraph from Albany. 1t
is as follows:
IAN erroneous impression has gone
forth in regard to Mrs. Griggs' re-
quest that Editor H. NJ. Mcintosh of
Albany make the race for the unex-
pired term of her husband, the la
mented Judge James M. Griggs.
Some newspaper reports created the
impression that a political caucus
was held in Dawson by prominent
politicians of the Second congress
sional district. The facts are these:
ION Saturday morning, the day
after the funeral, Mrs. Griggs ex-
! pressed wish that close friend
of her departed husband should fill
out his term, one who would carry
out his policies, and she requested
Mr.. w. w. Banks of Triton 20 phone
Editor Mcintosh and ask him to come
over to Dawson. Mr.. Banks tele-
phoned and Col Mcintosh refused to
go until Mr.. Banks assured him it
was the request of Mrs. Griggs. Col.
/ Mcintosh went on the 2 o'clock train.
AT the home of Mrs. Griggs he
| found Mr.. w. w. Banks and Col. j.
F. G. Griggs, of Florida, a cousin
of Judge Griggs, and Mr.. E. w. Hol-
lingsworth, his son-in-law. These
were the family kin who had not as
yet returned home. Mrs. Griggs
lpleaded with Col Mcintosh to make
the race, and her kinsmen present
insisted it would be gratifying to
Mrs. Griggs for Col. Mcintosh to do
SO.
Hon. ODE Stevens, an old friend
who had attended the funeral, called
to bid Mrs. Griggs goodbye, and they
| invited him into the family circle,
and told him what they were trying
to persuade Col. Mcintosh to do.
This accidental presence of Mr..
Stevens is mentioned because it has
| been asserted that he had prompted
the request that Col. Mcintosh make
the race, when in fact, he was igno-
rant of Mrs. Griggs' feelings in the
matter until he entered the room,
when he was told that Mrs. Griggs
thought Col. Mcintosh, understand
ing Judge Griggs' policies, would be
suitable man to fill the unexpired
term. In her grief, her distress,
whether wise or unwise, Mrs. Griggs
expressed this wish, and at her re-
quest her kinsman and her husband s
nearest friend, Mr.. Banks, 'phoned
Col Mcintosh.
Col Mcintosh remained with the
family an hour or so, and left for
Albany.
These are the facts in the case. -
