X. p. Amity Lodge Home Not
Dead Matter Yet.
May Be Revived Some Time in
Future.
DRIVE PILING SOON.
Work in Full Blast on Melan
Bridge Extension.
Other Items of Interest on
North Side.

1t is possible that within the next
two years Amity lodge No. Psi,
knights of Pythias, will occupy a
home of their own on the North side.
At present the matter has been drop
ped, but there is a chance of it being
renewed when the opportunity pre-
sents itself.
The proposition was started a little
over year ago. The idea was for the
lodge to form a stock company, and
either add a couple of stories to a
building on Kansas avenue or build a
three story headquarters to be owned
and controlled by the lodge. The first
floor was to be rented to business
firm, the second partly for offices and
partly devoted to the lodge. On the
third floor was to be a banquet room,
kitchen, etc.
A. M. Goodman, V. R. Parkhurst
and others were on the general build
ing committee. A building site COM
mittee was also appointed. However,
when the matter of selecting a build
ing on which the lodge rooms were to
be added was investigated it was found
that none of the buildings on the ave-
nue. were suitable for the purpose.
For while the idea of erecting an
entirely new modern building was dis
cussed, but finally the matter was
dropped and the committee dis
charged.
This morning, however, Mr.. Good
man said that the plan had not been
altogether relinquished and that some
time in the future it was not inprob-
able that the agitation for a new
building would be started.

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN OPENS.
Two Candidates Are Now in the Field
From Clay County.

The senatorial campaign has
opened with two candidates in the
field from Clay county, and lively
times may be expected between now
and the date of the primary in Au-
gust.
Hon. e. R. Shaw placed his an
nouncement in The News some weeks
ago, and today in this paper Col. R.
C. McAllister gives notice of his can
didacy, which is subject to the pri-
mary regularly called by the sena-
torial democratic executive commit
tee.
Both gentlemen are well-known
and have many friends throughout
the district, and each is claiming pos
itively that he will carry their home
county. Mr. McAllister is so sure
that he is the favorite that he offers
to enter into an agreement with Mr..
Shaw that the one who is defeated
in Clay shall decline to accept the
nomination though he should carry
both Randolph and Terrell counties,
and Mr.. Shaw says that should he be
nominated and does not carry Clay
he will resign at once.
Mr.. Shaw claims that he is the ex-
pressed choice of Clay county, in
asmuch as he was voted for I'M
opposed for the senate at the county
primary there, while Mr.. McAllister
charges that this action was prema-
ture, illegal and contrary to the ac-
ton of the district executive commit
tee and the new state law providing
for and governing primaries.
The issue has been joined, and is
up to the people for settlement at
the ballot box.

Address to Voters of the EleV-
enth Senatorial District.

Whereas, the senatorial committee
of the Eleventh senatorial district,
on the 2Sth of March, in accordance
with their duty to do so, named a
day for the senatorial primary to be
held under the new law which pre-

my district and state | hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for the
senate under this call.
No matter how regretful myself
or others may be over doing away
with how Terrell, Randolph and Clay

law passed and voted for by Shaw,
my opponent, and if it is now so bad
(before ever being tried) for him
to get to the senate on he should

what the majority of the counties

self only a servant of the people
anxious to carry out their will and
not the determined plan of my own.
With the many assurances of support
given me and from what my friends
advise me I will carry my home
county by a good majority regard
less of my opponents claim to the
contrary. There having been no eX

as to who will win. | have no pow
er of force over any free American,
and by their vote they can force me
in or force me out. and | will humbly
bow to their will whatever it may
be.
| would much prefer defeat than
to win by arraying, in single in
stance, neighbor against neighbor,
friend against friend, and regretting
that there is even one in the Elev-
enth senatorial district willing to ag-
itate old political differences, stir up
strife and divide our people l APP
peal to those in power-the voters
to assist me in this fight, so that
peace, love and unity may prevail
among us.
My race will be made on my own
merits. not seeking to run in on the
coat-tail of any other candidate

PERRY FOR GOVERNOR.
Well-KnOwn Lawyer and Legislator
of Gainesville Announces.

There was another entrant Satur-
honors, Hon. H. H. Perry of Gaines
willie announcing his candidacy. Mr.
Perry has served several terms in
the Georgia legislature, has been an
ardent reformer for many years, and
is a leading advocate of the federal
income tax amendment. His an
nOuncement follows:
ITO the Voters of Georgia: | re-
spectfully announce for governor at
the white primary this year. My
only reason or apology is that it is
due the state that some one should
make this race on the clear-cut is
sue of the progressive policies Of the
campaign of 1906.
81 have consistently contended for
these in the senate and house for
the past eight years, and have been
active in supporting such as have
been embodied in law In this criti-
cal year of American politics, when
without regard to party the great
spirit of democracy throughout the
union is stirring with new impulse
81
to be laggard and remain branded
before the world as reactionary.
1T ought not to be said she is
not abreast of the wave of reform
that means redemption and freedom.
l am no adept at politics. and may
not be elected, but, brethren, l can
at least keep the flag flying. 1t is
only one issue-government by the
people and for the people and not by
and for special interests. In this |
submit my candidacy and leave the
result to the will of God and the
voters of a patriotic people.

WRITES OF THE SENATORSHIP
Mr.. Shaw Discusses His Own Candi-
dacy and That of Mr..
MCAllister.

! Editor of The Dawson News:
have read in your paper and others
the announcement of my opponent
for the senatorship, Mr.. r. c. Nc
Allister AS his announcement is in
the form of an epistle, and as it di-
rectly assails me it becomes my duty
to a least hand out a statement to
! the public
Long before the holidays Mr.. Nc
Allister told me that if I would run
for the senate he would support me-
When l first placed my announce
ment in the Fort Gaines Sentinel
| this same man then said he was my
I friend and supporter. After the dem
ocratic committee of Clay called for
an expression from the people of
/ Clay county as to their choice for
senator, to be presented to the gen.
eral primary, Mr.. McAllister never
said one word to me about his dis
satisfaction as to the mode of pro-
cedure. ! thought until | read his
article in the papers of the district
that he was still in the same frame
Of mind that he was when he volun-
]
Christmas. I was dumbfounded
when | read his article holding up to
scOrn the acts of the Clay county
committee and myself. l never
dreamed of opposition coming from
! the man who was one of the first to
tender me his support.
Mr.. McAllister is now crying for
peace and harmony, and he has been
one of the main men who has caused
peace and harmony to vanish in Clay
county in the past, and is today the
only man publicly to disturb the
peace. Mr.. McAllister is holding up
the democratic committee of Clay
county to scorn. He should remem-
Der that he was the chairman of the
committee of Clay county in 1902
which denied the white people of
the county a primary, the result of
which many people in this district
! know.
Mr.. McAllister is hollering tech
nicality and Illegally, but the people
understand him. He should know
that the committee of Clay county
and myself know full we'll that the
action of the people of Clay county
in presenting me as their choice will
have to be ratified in the August
primary. The rotary plan has suited
nearly all the people of this district
for number of years, and they are
seemingly satisfied with it now.
There is nothing illegal about the
committee allowing Clay county to
express a choice in April. Every
body understands that it would have
to be ratified in August. There are
other districts doing the same way
If they did not ratify in August it
would be illegal, but if they do it is
as legal as a supreme court decision.
If Mr.. McAllister had heard the ar
gument upon the floor of the house
on the occasion of the passage of this
measure he would understand that
his argument is without basis or
foundation. He says that | voted
for it, and that | should not blame
JUS law-abiding citizens" | am de-
lighted TO know of Mr.. McAllister' IS
law-abiding disposition. / am al
ways ready TO receive intelligence
He says that he is advised that
he will carry Clay county by a good
majority, and says there has been nc
expression between he and /. He
had fair chance TO run. He didn't
do It, and 1t will take him a goodI,
