GEORGIA'S PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
Will BE HELD ON MAY FIRST
County Committees Will Name Delegates to State COnven
tiOn at Atlanta May 29

Atlanta, Ca, March 12.-The first
day of May is the date for the presi-
Dental primary in Georgia.
This was determined today by the
state executive committee in a meet
ing held at the capitol, after much
deliberation.
1t is up to the various county
executive committees to arrange for
the primary. Friends of the various
candidates for the nomination on the
democratic ticket may defray the ex-
penses of the primary, or the pri-
mary may be held co-incidently with
the regular county primary.
1t is hoped by the executive com
mittee that this will be done in every
county in the state where it is prac-
ticable.
There was no politics in the meet
ing of the state executive COMMITTEES.
No one candidate was boosted. and.
for that matter, none discussed. The
discussion centered around the bess
date and means for holding the pri-
mary.
1T was the consensus of belief that
the various county executive com
mittees would now authorize an early
primary, so as to dispose of the
county election and the presidential
preference question at one and the
same time.
While the primary will be held ON
the first day of May, the ballots will
not be consolidated in Atlanta until
May 10, by the state executive com
mittee.
The various county committees will
then have from May 10 to May %
to name their delegates to the state
convention.
The convention of all the countye
delegates will be held in Atlanta on
May 29. This convention will elect
the delegation that will represent
Georgia at the democratic national
convention in Baltimore in June.
The candidate receiving the largest
number of votes will be a candidate
indorsed by the state delegation. The
carrying of counties by any particular
candidate will not have any effect in
the general result. 1t is the candi-
date who polls the most statewide
votes that will receive Georgia's vote
in the national convention. This
plan, and that of requiring the ap-
pointment of the county delegates by
the county executive committees, who
will be governed by the expressed
choice of plurality of the voters
in that county were decided to be the
most satisfactory plans.
The set of rules introduced by Hon.
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, was
adopted. They provide that the reg
list of 1912 be used, purged
if possible, also the names of presi-
dental candidates, Clark, Harmon
Underwood and Wilson to be placed OH
tickets in alphabetical order. The
state committee will meet again on
May 10 to consolidate the votes.

Or was he pursuing policy of pri-
vate, personal revenge, of vengeance
for the thrashing the boys had given
him only a few days before?
Solano, whose Spanish relatives had
told him much of the Philippines and
the brown. treacherous Tagalogs, was
positive that Aguilar was following his
own road. fighting for his own hand.
and trying only to get even for the
beating he had sustained. "A Tagal,"
argued Ramon, would forget his en-

moment we laid hands on him, forgot

CHAPTER XVI.

Baron Zollern had been q mighty
man at home In Germany. Stories OF
his strength and his tremendous deeds
were table-talk from Mainz to Dantzic.
and it was even said that his great
countryman, Eugene Sandow, WOULD
have found it no easy task to cope
with the baron in physical achieve
ment The baron, however, was now
in the position of a man who tries to-
hold a wildcat with each hand, and
even his strength might have proved
insufficient to restrain the kickings
slugging captives had not half dozen
husky fellows-Germans, every one
of them-sprung up as if by magic all
around the trio. Surrounded and out
numbered, the boys had sense enough
to quit fighting, and stood gasping, dis
heveled, glaring at the baron and his
retinue. Zollern, still smiling, In spite
of painful bruises on shins and coun-
tenance, eyed the prisoners for mo-
ment and then spoke in tone of the
utmost friendship and good.humor.
IVY so unruly, young chentlemen!
Vat haf efer done dot you should be-
SO abusif?"
"You have done enough" snapped
Brockett. Ito get yourself put away
for years to come-you have proved:
yourself a German spy, and even this
country doesn't deal very gently with
that kind of yellow dogs. Give me-
back my messages, and let me 60. or
you'll know what jail looks like
from the inside"
Baron Zollern laughed amusedly.
'How could l." he gurgled, "gif you

in a very few hours. While waiting,
we can see the town, and incidentally
keep a sharp watch for our Filipino
friend"
The boys were more worried than
either of them would admit. Neither
had counted the vicious little Filipino,
Aguilar. as an active factor in the sit
uation. They were fairly we'll pre-
pared to deal with the willy Japanese
emissary, Yazimoto, or with tho burly,
hot-tempered German, Baron Zollern.
but neither had for a minute made
any calculation involving the brown
fellow from Luzon. The affair In the
sleeper, when the dummy arranged
by Brockett had been stabbed with
Aguilar's keen.bladed knife, was like
a bombshell to them. and their wor-
ries were intensified by the fact that
no trace of the would-be murderer
could be found. Nobody even re-
sembling the little Filipino had left
the train in the morning-the boys
had scrutinized every outgoing passen-
ger-and the porter and conductor as
serted that no one even of brown
complexion had been aboard that
train as far as they were aware. "Fore
Gawd, gemmen," protested the por-
ter, If any dahkbrown pusson had

connected back in Washington? Was

the boys were preparing for much
needed sleep. and handed . small,
square envelope to Brockett.
"Gemman In de crowd done Glib mo

the card was written. in the diamond

The humming motion of the wheels
had soothed both boys to sleep, and
Brockett was dreaming of baseball
partnership with Hans Wagner and
Christy Mathewson, when the sound
of an angry alteration woke him with
a start. Peering down from his ele-
waited perch, he made out the stocky
form of the porter, and beside him the
figure of man In pajamas, who was
expostulating earnestly.
"Ah'm sorry, suh," cried the negro,
'"but All distinctly saw yo' reach into
dis behth and paw all around. Yo'
behth is way up de cab, and on de
otheh side. Whaffo' yo' come fussin'
round dis gemman's behth, anyhow"
Solano's head protruded from the
curtains at this moment, while Brock

descending. The pajama-clad man
struggled to shake of the negro's de-
tanning clutch, and protested hissingly
In German accents.

You've got a cheap railway thief

Brockett, descending lightly from
his berth, peered into the face Of tho
pajama-clad captive.
"Glad to see you, SIR" laughed the
boy, exultingly. I'VE met in Wash
ington only the other day, If am not
mistaken"
With cultural roar of rage and
chagrin, the baron broke from the
negro's hands and rushed down the
car. He gained the vestfbuled plat
form before another clutch could be
laid upon him and smashed a door
