To the People of Georgia:

To the People of Georgia:
I am a candidate to succeed myself
as State Treasurer, subject to the &C
ton of the Democratic primary.
My candidacy is based strictly upon
my record and experience in this Of
fee, which are we'll known to the peo-
pie of Georgia, and which I trust has
been satisfactory. If, in your opinion,
the management of the states finances
under my administration for the past
several years has been faithful and eff
cient, I would gratefully appreciate
your encouragement at the polls in the
coming primary,
Thanking you for the support and
confidence extended me heretofore, l
earnestly solicit your further kind
consideration of my candidacy in the
present campaign. Respectfully
W. J. sPEER.

Mr.. GRIMSHAW NO GUTTER;
MAY swing TO JOB
Alderman of savannah While
In Americas

Savannah, Ca, July 9.-There is
much speculation locally as to
whether or not Mr.. Harry B. GNm-
shaw, now division superintendent OF
the Seaboard Air Line, but who is
to become general manager of the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah rail
road on July Is, will resign his place
as an alderman of Savannah. Mr.
Grimshaw is a member of the minor
ity faction of the board. When his
division headquarters were trans
ferred to Americas nearly year ago
it was thought by the majority fac
ton that he would resign as alder
man, but Mr. Grimshaw had other
ideas. He retained his citizenship IN
Savannah and continued to attend an
occasional meeting of council He
gave the majority no chance to put
one of their own faction on the board
in his stead. He could not be fired
unless he missed three consecutive
meetings of council and he saw to
it that this did not take place. 1t is
claimed, however, that he does not
attend aldermanic committee meet
ings. The present board has but six
months to serve, and it is possible
Mr.. Grimshaw may even yet hold
onto his job aiding in the government
of Savannah

UNCLE jim RECEIVES
LARGE PRESENT RATS

Atlanta, July 9.-Mayor Jim Wood
ward of Atlanta is anxious to know
whether the new crematory which has
caused so much trouble is able to
burn the bodies of 427 rats he has On
his official hands. He got them
throuhg a Misunderstanding.
A West End gentleman, reading the
paper aloud to his wife, mentioned the
fact that the mayor of Memphis had
offered five cents each for every dead
rat brought to the city hall. His ten
yearf-o.d son was interested, but he
didn't listen closely and thought his
father was reading of the Atlanta may
or He enlisted the aid of a dozen
other boys and got busy.
Next day the city hall officials were
surprised to receive a delegation of
eleven boys, one little girl, eighteen
dogs of various brands and several
sacks of dead rats. Explanations were
of no avail, and if the mayor could
have found a way to divert the city
funds to rat bounty the youngsters
certainly would have got their money.

of the women.
In Richmond, Va, the clubwomen
protested against her appearing and
circulated a petition to close the
theatre. Only by carrying the mat.
