MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.
WEDNESDAY NAMED.
THREE COUNC|LMEN
FLMORE POOLE, REESE HORTON
AND /. J. KALMON WERE NOMI.
NEES AND WILL SERVE CITY AS
MEMBERS OF THE ALDERMANIC
BOARD-LITTLE INTEREST MAN.
IFESTED In ELECTION-NEW En-.
ECUTIVE COMMITTEE is Sc
LECTED.

]. E. Poole, R. H. Horton and l. J..
Kalmon were easily the nominees of
the democratic primary election We'd
nesday, and will serve the city during
the term of two years as members OF
the aldermanic board. Mr.. Poole sue
ceeded himself, really, he being a
member of the present aldermanic
board, while Messrs Kalmon and Hor-
ton will succeed Aldermen Bolton and
Harris, whose terms will expire short
ly, or about December 25th.
The election Wednesday was devoid
or special interest, and was about the
quietest Americus has ever witnessed.
The vote cast was very light, evidenc-
ing lack of interest. Of the $50 votes
registered, very large number did
not come to the polls.
Alderman Poole received 223 votes,
Horton 1913, Kalmon 1874, ". NJ. Tullis
sc and F. B. Arthur 81. The new ex-
ecutive committee, elected yesterday
consists of ]. A. Davenport, J. E. High
tower, John Allen Fort, E, B. Everett
and E. L. Murray.
The unusually small registration for
yesterdays election was the subject of
comment Registration under the
rules laid down by the executive COM
mittee, requiring qualified voters to
appear in person, or by written re-
quest and be registered by the clerk
was unusual, and many voters other
wise fully qualified, neglected to meet
this requirement and thus were de-
barred from voting.
Usually in city primary the vote
cast is from 500 to 500, according to
the degree of interest attending such
election.
The nominees of the primary yes
terday will be formally elected at the
regular city election to be held in De-
cember, at which time the propose /
new method of selecting members of
tie city board of education will also
be voted upon as a proposed amend
ment to the city charter.

BUTCHER KNIFE MEANS
FOR SETTLING TROUBLE

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 11.-For trying
to settle certain domestic differences
by carving his wife with butcher
knife, H. c. Anderson is locked up at
police headquarters.
1t is said that he refused to respect
the white flag of truce, and took a
slash at his wife after he had invited
her to meet him at Grant park for al
amicable discussion of their difficult
ties. She went there hoping that ev-
erything might be explained and the
home started on a new basis of cont
tentment and happiness, but Anderson
insteadig using persuasive arguments 5
pulled out the knife. Mrs. Anderson
warded off the blow, and was stabbed
only in the arm.

RUSSIANS MAKE
ACTIVE MOVES
ON THEIR SIDE

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE acute revi-
val of the submarine issue, chiefly III
the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied
by general offensive and activity by
the Russians on the EASTERN front,
makes the war news read like history
which is six months old.
Along the southern extremity of the
Russian line west of Czartorysk the
Russians claim considerable success
after several weeks of fighting. They
claim to have broken the Austr/-Ger-
man lines, causing the retreat during
which numbers of the fleeing soldiers
were drowned. Two thousand pris-
oners were taken.
In the Riga region the Russians
claim to be more than holding their
own. West of Riga they have consol!

Gently won, and they claim to have re-
taken several villages.
There is less change in the Balkans
than at any time since the campaiga
began. 1t is definitely established that
the French have not taken Veles. Oar
ing calvary raids which apparently
reached the environs of the place gave
rise to the erroneous reports that the
Bulgarians had been expelled.
1t is unofficially reported that botn
W ings of the Bulgarian forces in Mace
donia are menaced by the Anglo
French advance. The Serbians are
said to have resumed the offensive in
the Babuna Pass region. 1t is also re-
ported that they have established COM
