AUGUSTA WILL
HAVE PEACEFUL
p. WH|TEPR|NARY
Compromise Is Effected in Which
Bitterness of Past Elections
Is 0bIiterated.

AUGUSTA, Oct. 4.-The dove of
peace is fiuttering over the local po-
litical field. The candidates for
Council from each side. will enter the
primary. and Augusta will have no
trouble and turmoil over her politics
this fall.
The city white primary committee
named Messrs. Julian Smith, George
T. Lynch and H.. w Shaw to purge
the registration list. Mayor Hayne
then named Messrs. ]. S: Farr. w. In
man Curry and w. ]. Cooney to purge
the list. 1t seemed that these two
committees would have had eonsid-
cradle conflict in authority, and prob
ably they would, but a few ardent
champions Of the white primary sys-
TEN brought order out OF possible
chaos.
The net result is that only one COM
mittee will purge the list, both sides
will enter the primary and will abide
by its results The compromise purg-
ing committee consists of Messrs. Ju-
liam NJ. Smith. George w. Wright and
H w. Shaw. Mr.. Wright represent
ing the administration side and the
other two members representing the
administration party. The pri-
mary committee is composed largely
of opponents to the Hayne admins
tration.

didates who have entered the pri
mary Of October 20 for Councilmen:
