PRIMARY LIKELY TO Be
CALLED FOR DECEMBER
Two More Enter GubGFna
tOFiaI Race

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-Aside from
the announcements of J. Pope Brown
and Judge r. B. Russell of their eau
didacies for governor, the political
situation was enlivened Thursday
morning by other developments hard
ly less interesting First, the proba-
BILE date of the gubernatorial primary
was "a subject of lively interest, and
dividing attention with this talk was
the probable candidates. of former
Governor Brown and Col Thomas G.
Hudson, coupled with the no less in
teresting differences between the state
senate and Governor Smith, over the
question of patronage, and on top Of
all these absorbing matters, was the
declaration of Senator Terrell, his
determination not to return to Wash
ington, and Governor Smiths reiter-
alton of his purpose to serve as gov
ernor until December
1t seems certain that the guberna-
torial primary for the nomination Of
a successor to Governor Smith. will
be held some time in December, along
about the 10th or 18th of the month.
The date will be finally fixed by the
state executive committee, which will
meet subject to the call of State
Chairman w. G. Wright, of Newman.
Colonel Wright stated on Wednes-
day afternoon that he had not deter
mined when the committee would be
called to meet, but it is not likely
that the meeting will be held very far
in advance of the primary.
Under the state law. the primary
cannot be held over sixty days in al
vance of the regular election. This
election will be called by Acting Gov
ernor Slaton, after he succeeds Mr..
Smith, and it must be held not less
than thirty nor more than sixty days
after he assumes office. 1t is prob
able that the acting governor will
serve for the full sixty days, making
his term of office expire on February
1st, 1912.
If the special election is held be-
tween thirty and sixty days after De-
cember 1st, the date of Governor
Smiths retirement, it would proba-
bly, occur during the latter part If
next January.

agents OF PUBLICITY
Will ARRIVE TODAY
MGSSrS. Hooks aud RyIaRdGr
Are Nearing Home.

Messrs Walter Rylander and J. D.,
Hooks, who have been doing such val
uabIe publicity work for Americus
and Sumter county in distributing
Board of Trade circulars on their
recent automobile trip from Provi-
derce, R. l., homeward along the At
~ seaboard, are expected to arrive
in Americus today.
The travellers have been making
t'c journey by easy stages, and every
message received from them indicates
that they have been having a most
enjoyable trip from start to finish.
All along the way they have come As
heraIds of the aggressiveness and rich
resources of Sumter county, as cir
culars of this city and county have
been distributed freely by them at the
places along the way.
Sunday night was spent in Staun-
ton, Va, while Charlotte, n. G.,
Greenville, S. c., and Atlanta We're
reached by easy stages, last night
having been spent in the latter place,
The public spirit manifested by these
young citizens of Americus will likely
set an example that will be followed
by many others the future, and
which will bring splendid results in
the end.
Mr.. R. S. Broadhurst will leave
soon for Asheville, n c., in an auto
mobile, and he will likewise distri-
butte Board of Trade circulars along
the route he takes, which will be dif-
ferent from that travelled by the 9th
er tourists on their return. The pub
licity thus gained is of the most val
liable kind, and grateful appreciation
on the part of the people of Americus
is due the Board of Trade and the
public spirited citizens who are TAX
ing up this work voluntarily.

HANDSOME OAK is SAFE
THUS FAR FROM AXE
City Spares the Magnificent
Old Tree

Safe from destruction, at least for
the present, the beautiful oak grow
ing near the Confederate monument
on Forsyth street, again held out its
grateful shade to hundreds of pedes-
trians yesterday instead of having
been hacked into bits for stove wood,
as had been arranged.
The grand old tree, worth untold
thousands Of dollars to Americus,
again bent its limbs gracefully in the
breezes yesterday.
The pressure brought by citizens,
the judiciary and clergy, saved the
fine tree from wanton ruin, and the
work of putting down granite coming
at its base will be done just as we'll
as though the tree was cut down.
But it had 4. an exceedingly close
CALL after ALL and even now is in
need of the tree surgeons to bind M
its gaping wounds.
When the order was given yestor-
DAY morning to allow the fine oak to
remain on the corner, the street
hands were already applying the axe,
ana two great, gaping cuts are made
IN II near the base, But the wounds
are not deemed fatal, and it IS
thought the beautiful tree will vet re-
cover.
lhanks to the gentlemen who in
terested themselves in behalf of the
shapeiy oak, it may yet remain many
years an ornament to Americus.

STOCKS UNSTEADY|VAEAT FALLS OFF
Buying Movement Of Friday Resumed
In Yesterdays Market But
More Moderately.

New York, Jan. IA. Resumption OF
yesterdays buying movement in
stocks was feature OF the openig
today, though in more moderate
form, Early transactions were con-
spicuous. Trading In United States
Steel and Reading both showed smart
gains, Selling by traders, presumably
for profit, soon wiped out the greater
pa,t Of Readings advance. Steel
held comparatively steady. Trading
fell off in the second hour which was
notable chiefly for the strength OF
Lehigh Valley and the gyrations OF
Goldteld Consolidated, mining stock
which closed yesterday at Gs, but
held down to 5h today.
The bank statement more than full
filled expectations as to the cash
gain, which was $2G,o00,o00 The un-
certaintaies Of the week were demon
stratcd in the actual loan account,
which increased over SIS, 100000. The
reserves, however, show a very sab
stantial gain.
A further increase in the number OF
idle cars was officially announced to-
day--a total Of about 10000 cars. The
increase came chiefly from the box
type, and was general throughout the
country.
News from abroad reported hard

Despite the purchases by leading

to the shipments, SO that the hope for
a melting away of surprise appeared
as remote as ever. Big shipments
from Russia and the Danube added to
