Candidate for Secretary of State
Writes Letter to His Opponents
Suggesting Method for Joint
Campaign Programme

Charles II. Greer, editor of the Marion
Standard, and candidate for secretary
OF state, has formally suggested to mis-
rivals that they appear with him in va
rious sections of the state and give the
people an opportunity of seeing and hear
ing and judging the lot.
MIR. Greer points out that it Is law in
South Carolina that such combined cam
paigns shall be made, and adds that it
would be less expensive than writing let
ters, advertising and ''gumshoeing."
The other candidates are Judge John
Purifoy of Montgomery, j. II. Nunnellee
OF Tuscaloosa and W. p. Cobb of Tus-
kegee. 1t is considered certain that at
a later date Harry Shorter of Eufaula
will enter. From each of these an an
swer to Mr.. Greer's proposition is ex-
peeted within the next few days.
Mr.. Greer's letter is as follows:
Il take it that the other candidates for
secretary of state, like myself, are not
rich Then why cannot we agree on a
campaign programme which would, in my
opinion, be more economical, more ef-
fectual and more convenient to the people
than 'gumshoeing, advertising and let
ter writing?
Il would suggest that we meet in either
Birmingham or Montgomery, or any other
convenient point on day to be agreed
upon and formulate programme setting
forth dates and places where in body
we will meet and address the people
county by county.
Il figure such a campaign can be made
in from so to 100 days, and at a much
less expense to the individual candidate.
So far as | know there are no special
issues between us, and doubtless will not
be, yet there are various and sundry sub
jects that could be interestingly dis
cussed that might prove educating and
Instructive to the public. At the SHINE
time we can meet the voter face to face
and give him the privilege of seeing and
hearing and make up his0wn mind as to
choice without having to rely upon the
marker or some representative at the polls
of the candidates for the higher offices
and who have no further interest in the
minor places than they may trade them
to the interest of their favorte.
This suggestion is not original with
me, but it is now the law in South Caro-
lima, and possibly other states. to make
a combined campaign on the order / have
outlined. Such an arrangement will not
do away with any other mode of getting
before the people except as to the per-
sonal campaigning.
IF this suggestion meets your appro-
baton / will be pleased to hear from
you personally as to the most convenient
time and place it will suit you to meet
and formulate the programme.
',rhe people appreciate an open and fair
is not only economical and would prove
convenient to the public, but is open and
fair"

REAL ESTATE MARKET
QUIET IN SELMA

Selma. September 14.-(Special. }
But one deal of any consequence took
place in the Selma real estate market
during the past week. Several small
deals were reported during the week
and the expectations are that the real
estate market will assume considerable
activity during the next few weeks
The principal realty deal of the week
was the purchase of lot upon which
stands a small brick residence on
Church street, between Alabama and
Water, from J. G. Adler by Or. F.. G..
DuBose. The lot is adjoining the bust
ness district OF the city and the ex-
change of titles represented the ex-
change of several thousand dollars 1t
is understood that DR.. DuBcse will raze
the rick residence and in its place will
erect modern two-story building,
which will be used In connection with
a garage which faces behind the prop
erty on Laudecdale street.

GOLFERS AT BROOKLINE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

greens committee and Committeeman
Aver of the national association will
make a tour of the Is holes after which
it is expected the course will be several
strokes harder The tees will be set
back to the farthest possible point, while
on the putting greens the holes will be
located on ridges instead of in the hol-
lows, so that even avowed championship
candidates will have to drive far and putt
carefully for low scores.
The field numbers more than eight score
players, of whom 25 are amateurs. With
| such an entry list the association has
been obliged to split the players into
two divisions and run off two prelim-
mary rounds of Sc holes each on Tues
day and Wednesday. The best 80 scores
in each of these days will qualify for the
70 holes championship on Thursday and
Friday
The champion will receive substantial
prize in cash If a professional and a
plate if an amateur, while nine other
prizes either of cash or plate will be
awarded.

bases, sending Collins home. Daley
walked. but Barry popped up a little foul.

would be forced to buy two new shells
