CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION.
Will Be Held in Dawson Friday for
For Applicants for Mail Carrier.

will Be Held i'm Dawson Friday for
For Applicants for Mail Carrier.
On next Friday a civil service ex-
animation will be conducted at the
court house of applicants for the
position of carrier in the city mail
delivery service the government will
inaugurate in Dawson on June 18th.
The examination will be conducted
by Mr.. Robert L. Kersey, chief clerk
in the Albany postoffice, who will be
sent here by the civil service board
for that purpose. The examination
will be open to both whites and me-
groes who live anywhere in the Unit
ed States, and it is understood that
about fifty have filed applications.
1t is very probably that there will
be only one place to fill from those
who take the examination Friday, as
only two carriers will be used for the
delivery of mail and it is probable
that an experienced man in the SER
vice will be transferred to Dawson
from some other town.

WANT VAN! VOTE FOR SENATOR
PETITIONS SHOW SENTIMENT OF
PEOPLE OF TERRELL.

Very Few Have Refused to Sign a
Request to State Committee to
Order "a Primary.
There is no doubt that the people
of Terrell county favor the selection
of candidates for all offices by the
primary system.
This is made plain by the readi-
ness with which they are signing a
petition to the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee asking that body
to preserve the rights of the people
by ordering primary for the nomi-
nation of a candidate for United
States senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Sena-
tor Clay.
Those who are interesting them
selves in ascertaining the wishes of
the people have informed The
News that several hundred sig
natures have already been obtain
ed, the adherents of both of the al
legged factions in state politics sign
ing the petition with equal readi-
ness. 1t is not a question of Smith
or Brown, but one of principle as
well as one of long-established party
custom in Georgia Some Brown
men have refused to sign the petit
ton, and many Smith men have sign
ed it.
The people think they are just
as competent now to select United
States senator as they have been in
the past, and prefer to do it that way
instead of leaving it to the Darkroom
caucuses of political slate-fixers and
Legislative juggling.
