CAMPAIGN ENDS;
fierce Fighting
PROMISED TODAY

In Americus, as throughout the
state, greatest interest centers in tn.
general election today for governor.
senators, congressman, statehouse Off
GERS, judges, solicitors and represent
atives in the state legislature. The
campaign came to an end last night,
with all of the candidates absolutely
sure of election, and in the battle OIL
ballots waged at the polls today VIC
tory awaits many, and disappointment
as many others.
1t will be memorable day in Geor-
gia, and throughout the Empire State
the war in Europe will, for the time,
be forgotten in the battle of ballots
raging all along the line.
1t has been fairly interesting cam
paign, the apathy which was apparent
in the early stages being atoned for
by the bitterness of the closing weeks.
Strong men are running for the most
important offices within the gift of the
people, and even the portentious inter-
national situation has not served to
diminish to any great extent the wide
spread interest.
A governor, two United States seq
ators, an entire Georgia delegation of
congressman, various state offices,
legislators, state senator's and scores
Of county officers all over the state
are to be chosen in the primary. There
is not section of the state where.
politics is not an absorbing topic at
this time.
In Americus the voting will be done
between the hours of a. M. and
p. M, while in the county precincts
the voting will cease at 8 p. m. By
8 o'clock tonight it can be pretty def
nitely determined who are the winners
in the realm of Sumter.
Aside from the election of senators.
governor, ETC., local interest attaches
to the nomination of Sumter's two
in the next Legisla-
ture. The candidates are Messrs. ].
E. Sheppard, Crawford Wheatley and
John D. Williams-.wo to be elected
Messrs. Wheatley and Sheppard have
yielded to the very general desire of
their friends to offer again for the po
sitions they have recently filed with
such credit to themselves, their county
and state.
About 1900 voters are registered In
Sumter, and it is expected that
heavy vote will be polled.

Times-Recorder: The quiet, but
rapid increase of strength, and turn
ing of the political tide towards Dr..
Hardman, for the past ten days, has
greatly agitated some of the Sumter
County supporters of Judge N. E. Har-
ris. They have seen the handwriting
on the wall, and by an unwarranted
and unfair statement, in this paper
yesterday warned the voters mot to be
caught in the Anderson trap" intimat-
ing that the Hardman boom was due
to an effort on the part of Anderson
supporters to draw votes from Harris
for the purpose of securing Anderson's
nomination.

AMERICUS WILL
FILE OBJECTION
With COMMISSION
RESPECT TRAIN ANNULMENT
Hearing Will Be Had Upon
Subject

That Americas will enter vigorous
protest to the proposed annulment Of
passenger train schedules on the Sea-
board railway was fully emphasized AT
largely, attended meeting of mer-
chants, bankers and business men gen.
orally, held yesterday, when it was
decided unanimously that the city be
represented when the petition for an
nulment as presented by the railway
company will be passed upon by the
railway commission on Tuesday next,
August 25th.
1t is entirely probable that the CO.
operation of the commercial bodies of
Cordele, Plains, Preston, Leslie, De-
Soto, Abbeville and Rochelle, all of
which will, like Americas, be affected
by the train annulment, be secured as
we'll.
1t was pointed out in the meeting
yesterday, and the fact emphasized,
that it was not the purpose of the Sea-
board to take off passenger trains 13
and IA altogether, but merely to Cut
out 12O miles of territory in the very
heart of this division, and, instead,
operate these same two trains entirely
in the interest and to the advantage OF
Savannah and Montgomery, as subur-
} ban trains, running them only TO
Richland on the west, and Helena on
the east end.
The Savannah-Helena local will
leave Savannah at 400 p. M, daily,
arriving at Helena at $50 p. NJ, ana
returning the next morning leave Hell
ena at $50 and arrive at Savannah g;
1000 a. m. The Richland- Montgomery
local will leave Richland daily al
5:15 a. m. and arrive at Montgomery
about $3.50 a. m. Returning it will
leave Montgomery about 6:45 .. m,
and arrive at Richland about Hos
p. N.
1t is not proposed to change the To-
cal now operating between Helena AMI
Columbus, via Richland.
These will be suburban trains only
and operated wholly in the interest of
Montgomery and Savannah, and 20
the detriment of Americus and other
intermediate towns that give the Sea-
board a large patronage.
1t was pointed out in the meeting
yesterday that this train annulme1t
would result in the enforced removal
from Americas of numerous conduc-
tors, engineers, fremen and others
constituting train crews. 1t means
the cutting off of two important mai
schedules now serving towns along
this division and which service if Gu.
off now will not again be restored b.
the postal department, even should
the trains ever be put back, which IS
not pr5bable, ever.
1t was shown also that this was Nd
new movement upon the part Of the
railway company to the end of cutting
expenses as the result of the war, but
has been under due contemplation for
month or longer. Mr.. Lee Allen and
perhars other citizens will appear be-
fore the railway commission to protest
against the annulment of the two
passenger trains, as proposed.

scare off the voters from DR.. Hardman.
We wish to assure the voters of Sum-

genuine, and based alone on real
merits of Dr. Hardman, the best man in
the race for Governor, and not on
the demerits of some other man who
