HOT RACE PROMISED
FOR CORDELE JUDGESHIP
SEVERAL CANDIDATES ALREADY
BEING DOOMED FOR JUDGE
GEORGES JOB

Cordele, Ca, Jan. 29-It is generally
believed that there will be a warm con-
test this year for the judgeship of the
Cordele superior court circuit Judge
w F. George has not yet announced
whether he will make the race to
succeed himself or not. Among those
mentioned so far are w. H. Doris.
former mayor of Cordele; Col. D. A. R,
Crum, also of Cordele; Judge Wade
Lasseter, of Vienna, and Hal Lawson,
of Abbeville.
The friends of Mr. Doris are per
silent in their efforts to get him to
make the race and for some time he
has been urged to give the matter seri-
Gus consideration, even though Judge
George should decide himself to make
the race 1t is not impossible that he
will be in the running, and if so the
opposing candidate or candidates will
find him very formidable opposition.
1t is believed that should Judge George
decide not to run Col Crum will I'M
doubtedly be a candidate. The friends
of Judge Lasseter and Mr.. Lawson, i,
is understood, are surveying the situa-
ton and it is not impossible that both
of these men will ask for the office.
All of the county oficvers from clerk
of the superior court to coroner, with
the possible exception of the clerk,
have opposition already announced. ].
H. Ward, present sheriff, will be OPP
posed by Tone Smith; Tax Collector W.
], Musselwhite is opposed by c. B.
Bowen, and Theodore Cox and Tax Re-
ceiver C. o. Perry is opposed by R. A.

WANT FOREIGN WOOL
FOR JACKIE'S TROUSERS

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-Taking
advantage of reductions under the I'm
derwood tariff law, the navy depart
ment has adopted the general policy
OF purchasing supplies in the markets
Of the world, instead of only in the
American market. Bids have been re-
ceived for 100000 yards of dark blue
cloth for trousers, jackets and caps
for enlisted men, and will be opened
today.
While previous specifications for
bids for that material stipulated that
American wool must be supplied, in
the present instance the specifications
have no limitation whether it shall be
domestic or foreign grown. The old
tariff measure practically eliminated
foreign bidders.
