FORMER GOVERNOR SETS ALL RI.
M0RS AT REST BY ANNOUNCING
THAT HE WILL NOT SEEK SENA.
TORIAL TOGA
HAS No OTHER PLANS
FOR POLITICAL FUTURE
May Be Prevailed Upon to Offer For
Governor in Case Governor SlatOn
Runs For the Senate

Atlanta, Ga, March 25.-Ex- Gov
ernor Joseph Nj. Brown will not be Il
candidate for the United States
senate, neither against Senator Hoke
Smith, nor Thomas S. Fielder, T. W.
Hardwick and the others who may
seek the unexpired term. Whether
he will again run for governor is a
question.
Some Of the ex-governor's friends
want him to run for governor in the
event that Governor Slaton runs for
the senate, but still others are not
unmindful that the ex-governor is
"in bad" with the labor forces of
Georgia and would lose the support
of that powerful element.
Practically not day has passed
since the death of the late Senator
Bacon that the query as to what Gov
ernor Browns intentions were has
not been made in some form CT
another. The very fact that the
former chief executive had spent
many months in the quietude of his
farm in Cherokee county near the
same spot where his distinguished
father was reaping his grain when
he was advised OF his nomination for
governor, has caused speculations as
to just what his motive in thus Sc
cluding himself really was.
Solely, therefore, with the view Of
being able to tell the people of the
state what might be expected during
the forthcoming campaign from the
only man who ever polled a hundred
thousand votes for governor, a news
paper man called on Ex-Governor
Hrown at his home in Marietta.
Has Eliminated Himself
And the newspaper man found out
to his own conviction, at least. So

COUNCIL VOTES
ANOTHER ISSUE
AMERICUS BONDS
ONLY $4,000 NEEDED NOW
To Finish The Hospital And
Schools

| Amerious will have another bord
issue election on April 29th. This was
assured in the action Of city council
last night in ordering the election uy-
Oh the date mentioned, the proceeds
$l0,000-being for public impro,-
ements The vote of council was
unanimous in favor Of the bonds, and
that the issue will be voted overwhelnl-
ingly there is little doubt.
The city council voted recently
contribution of $4,000 to the hospital
building fund, while the sum of 81 7,e09,
will be needed wherewith to complere
the $4,000 Grammar school build
ing.
Believing that an issue of only $1O,-
900 Of per cent, thirty-year bonds
was preferable to borrowing $40 1000 az
higher rate of interest, the bond
election was suggested. When fo:-
mally presented to council last night
the proposition was voted upon with
out a dissenting vote, and April 29th
was designated as the date of election,
all qualified voters participants
therein.
There is little doubt but that the
bond issue will be heartily favored at
the polls and funds for the city school
and hospital thus provided.

MORNING FIRE
SWEEPS WHARVES
At SAVANNAH

Savannah, Ga, March 25. - Two
large sheds of the Atlantic Coast Line
new wharves and several thousand
tons of kainit were totally destroyed
by fire which started at O'CLOCK
this morning and ragged for three
hours. The British steamer Farley,
lying alongside the wharf, narrowly
escaped destruction. A large chute
used in unloading the ships collapsed
when the understructure burned away
and fell across her, starting Il
fire from amidship forward, Tugs tow
ed her away from her moorings and
extinguished the flames and she was
brought up the river. Several thou
sands of barrels Of rosin in a sh. 4
adjoining the two that were destroy
ed was burned, and heroic work on the
part OF the firemen kept it from
spreading to a shed where raw tur-
pentine was stored. No accurate es-
innate could be secured, but it will rnn
approximately 100000.

COOLEST MARCH
On RECORD SAYS
WEATHER MAN

Atlanta, March 25.-The government
bureau here declares that up to today
this has been the coldest March Geor-
gia has known in the past twenty
years. The mean average for March
up to now has been 526 degrees. The
'Coldest March Georgia has ever hal
was in 1891, when the average was AZ
degrees, but since that time it has
never fallen so low as this season.
The average for the first twenty-five
days of this month was 44.2, so that
even if it gets great deal warmer
during the next week, it will keep the
average still low. Mr.. Won Herman
does not think it can possibly ge.
warm enough between now and April
1st to bring the March average up to
anything near normal.
The cold, however, has been health
full and stimulating, both for humans
and for the crops The fruit, partic-
ularly, which it was first feared the
late snow would injure has been help
ed materially.

SWIMMERS
CLAMORIAG FOR PARK

Atlanta, March 25.-Just to persuade
the city fathers that April 18th was
plenty late for the opening of the
bathing season in Atlanta, pretty Miss
Margaret Lucke donned her bathing
suit yesterday and went for a swim a:
Lakewood
She was accompanied on her chilly
expedition by Herman Billet and Cap
tain C. T. Walthour, two we'll known
local enthusiasts All three insisted
that it was not unreasonably cold, but
their teeth were chattering when they
emerged.

This cold weather bathing business
is not altogether new to Atlanta
Isportsmen, however. Way back in jan
uary, two or three hardy souls were
taking a daily dip in the icy waters at
East Lake. But they were men. Miss
Lucke is the first gair swimmer who
has ventured in since last summer.

CITIZENS OF SUMTER COUNTY
AGAIN REQUIRED TO REGISTER
Former Lists No Longer Good Except For Registrations
Made Since January lSt 1914. Unless You Have
Registered This Year You viii be InCIIig lbIG to
Vote in Any County or State Election This Year

Sumter county's registration list IS
going to be cut down to the extent Of
several hundred democratic voters this
year, unless there is a stampede to-
wards the office of Tax Collector l. B.
Small between this date and April 7th.
On that date the new registration lists
for the current year close, and only
those registered will be entitled to
vote in any state or county primary
this year.
This new requirement if violated will
preclude the careless citizen from vot-
ing for governor, United States sena-
tor, congressman, state senator, mem
bers of the legislature, or in any other
primary.
1t is up to the voter. If he votes he
must have registered since January 1st,

April 7th.
The new law is very plain; no reg
istration, no vote this year.
This law was adopted some time ago
and is just now being put in force. Its
chief purpose is to make unnecessary
in future so many registrations, as
when voters name gets upon the
new list, just opened, such registra-
tion remains effective until the voter
disqualifies himself from voting by
having failed to pay taxes or otherwise
violated some provision of the new
measure.
At all events it is up to the Sumter
ian who cares to vote to register be-
fore April 7th. Last years registration
does not count any more, and a new
autograph upon Collector Small's book
is necessary. Do it, and moreover, do
it at once.

Der of firm of baking powder manu-
facturers in the Dominion advertised
unsuccessfully a few months ago for
boys and girls, and had to employ
adult labor instead. So precious are
these young people, indeed, that it is
found that the only way is to take
boys when they are offering, usually
at the beginning of the year, and keep
them through slack seasons. This
particular firm gives boys straight

A journey very much out of the or
binary is reported from Edmonton,
Canada, from which point five men sue
ceeded in making an 500 mile automo-
: bile trip to Peace River Crossing on
or near Lesser Slave lake, a district
usually regarded as sub-arctic, and
certainly virgin country SO far as
automobile travel is concerned. A
photograph from Edmonton shows the
i've men fishing in good old Hudson
bay style through the ice of Lesser
Slave lake, with the automobile in the
near distance. Couriers du bois usu-
ally engage in the latter operation to
get fish for themselves and their dogs,
but the automobile never staryes-as
long as the fuel holds out The Jour
ney probably was not difficult, for the
trail undoubtedly has been broken.
Still it is rather startling to think of
an automobile running up almost into
the wood buffalo and musk-ox coun-
try, but not more indicative of mod
ern progress than the rumor that
reaches US, of regulations to be laid
down by the government relative to
the crossing of the great Mississippi
