PATTERSON TO PROTEST
NOMINATION OF MORRIS

MARIETTA. Ga, Sept. 1G.--Just as
the voters of the Blue Ridge circuit
we're about to forget politics for a
while, they were startled today by the
report that the friends of Judge H. l..
Patterson, the present incumbent, who
was defeated last Tuesday, will pro-
test the election on the fact that re-
publicans in Fannin county, which
went for Judge Morris, were allowel
tc vote in the democratic primary.
This county gave Judge Morris ma
jority of 594, and as Judge Morris
majority in the entire circuit was only
393 votes, if this county is thrown out
by the convention, Judge Patterson
will have a majority of 121 votes.

PRIVATE MONEY
To BUY PUBLIC
SERVICE SYSTEM

Nothing stands in the way Of the
sale of the Americus Public Service
Co. The city has forfeited its rights
IN the contract, and an announcement
of its sale by the bondholders is ex-
pected at any time.
The Mayor and City Council were
helpless in the situation, and brought
the matter to a climax by taking no
action-although they have discussed
the matter for several months and
hardly meeting passed without the
discussion on the electric light situa-
ton. The city had no rights in the
matter, and there was no action to
take.
The final tactit decision came late
Friday afternoon at a special meeting
OF the city fathers at the city hall. 1t
was thoroughly discussed, and each
member of the council took part in the
arguments. The suggestion of Alder
man Kalmon at a former meeting as
to an election to ascertain the true
will of the people was dropped as i'm
practical because of the result not
having any legal weight with any ac-
ton which might be taken.

ram the plant down the throats Of the
people if they didn't want it." This
was the way the situation was express

not to allow the rates to be raised.

SUMTER BOYS
WILL De GUESTS
Of ATLANTA FAIR

Two Sumter county boys will be able
to attend the Southeastern Fair in
Atlanta on October 14th to 21st, free of
charge. They will be selected after an
examination is given here on Saturday.
September Goth, by Agricultural Agent
]. G. Oliver.
Mr.. Oliver was notified of this ar
rangement by ]. K. Giles, in charge OF
the boys club work for the state, and
the Sumter agent is busy arranging
for the examination to include five
questions on general agricultural sub
jects. The contest is open to boys be-
tween 10 and 21 years of age.
The Southeastern Fair has put the
scheme on foot which will mean much
to the boys of the 152 counties of the
state, as this plan is open to each
county. Mr. Oliver has already ar
ranged with Lee, Stewart, Macon ana
Schley counties about the two young
men from each to attend.
After the two boys from Sumter
have been selected they will be for
warded round trip railroad tickets, and
during their stay in Atlanta they Will
be without expense so far as living
charges are concerned. The State
College of Agriculture will attend the
fair.
In order to take advantage of this
feature it became necessary for each
county to send $40 to the fair, which is
a partial payment on the large charges
which will be carried by the fair.
Cranston Williams, editor of the
mes-Recorder, gave So, and the
South Georgia Progress gave $5, MAX
ing the total of $40 which allows Sum-
ter and her two boys to participate in
the plan.

Foreign Capital Bidding.

1t is learned that several concerns

and in this event it will mean the ex-
penditure of large sum on the plants
and works which is said to be badly

financially to the city.
1t is reported that the city may be
able to make contract for its pump
ing and lighting which would be re-
duction over the cost if they themselves
did the work.

Failing For Some Time.

The public utilities have failed to
materialize in the proposed plans of
the consultations here in 1914. This
fact was made evident when the trus-
tees of the company petitioned the
railroad commission of Georgia, who
disclaimed Jurisdiction as to allowing
the plant to raise the rates for the pur-
pose of carrying out a scheme al
though it might mean the final owner
ship by the people.
The trustees then sought another
pathway which led to the city coun-
Gil, and under a version of Judge r.
i. Maynard, the city fathers were asked
t. raise the rates under their alleged
rights as a municipal-owned plant.
This brought the climax to the question
ard throughout several months it has
been heavy weight hanging over the
city council in their efforts to decide
fairly, justly and finally.
Finally the time came when decis-
ion was not necessary-the rights and
privileges under the contract had al
ready passed away because of the fail
ure Of the scheme to come W to expec-
fancy.
