OFFICERS Of THE
COUNTIES MEET
At st. S|MONS

H. E. Allen, president of the Geor-
gia County Officers association, is
completing the final arrangements and
plans for the annual meeting of the
body at St Simons Island. Ca, on
June 21st, 22nd and 23rd. The pro-
gram of events will include many in

largest gatherings of the association.
The officers, besides Mr.. Allen as
president, are c. D. Thigpen, of San
dersville, first vice president; J. E.
Gornto, of Valdosta, second vice presi-
rent; M. S. Joyner, of Millen, secre-
tary and treasurer.
The welcome address will be made
ty Edwin w. Dart, ordinary of Glynn

will be delivered by D. w. M. Whitley,

The officers of Glynn county will en-
tertain the visiting county officers with

Cumberland and Fernandina, Fla. The
city and other prominent people will
assist in the entertainment of the
guests.
President Allen has announced that
reservations should be made imme-
1iately at Brunswick and st. Simon s
in order to be sure of facilities when
the association holds its meeting. AL
though there are no special reduced

and officers can avail themselves Of
these rates.
1t is expected that every Sumter

nary of Sumter county, that the consti-
tutional amendment was carried
lengthening the terms of county Off
GERS to four years.

Sleep and Sleep
For Twenty Four
Very Long Hours

Under the magic influence of the
great Fayssoux, Leonard slept. He
slept the sleep of the weary, and he
emitted the sound of the soundest
sleeper, as the arms of Morpheus were
wrapped about him. Yes, Leonard,
Or "Cac" Tinsley was asleep No one
within a mile distant would deny that
Ard he slept for twenty-four hours
without waking In the window of the
Allison Furniture Co. This as one
time Leonard secured his full supply
of beauty sleep. 1t did him good, too
His eyes now are even more soulsome
than they were when the magic Of
Fayssoux was upon him. The Semin-
ole refused to run because Gao" had
forgotten to be present when It sent
IFS final toot on entering the city.
Leonard could not attend, because his
thoughts were in that far away Land
Of Nod, and though he was wont to
stay under the influence of Fayssou
the Great, he was forced to forego the
pleasure of welcoming the Seminole, as
is his usual hath and remained in
the embrace of the God of Sleep. And
when Gao" did awake, his first
thought was of ham sandwich, as
the taste of food was unknown to him
for tenty-four long, weary hours. Now
however, he is the same old Leonard,
ard tonight the Seminole will run
along without shedding tears because
Mr.. Tinsley will be there with the
smile all his own to welcome it God
speed on its fast fight.

Details of Fight at San IgnaciO.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 15.-Ma-
jor Gray reported to military authori-
ties at Fort Sam Houston today that
about one hundred bandits attacked
Troops l and M of the Fourteenth cav
airy near San Ignacio this morning.
Two soldiers were killed and seven
others, one of whom died shortly af-
ter the fight.
The bodies of six of the bandits were
found just outside the squadron en-
campment, and during the hurried pur-
suit of the outlaws eight others of their
number were killed. 1t is assumed
here that Major Gray and his forces
will pursue the bandits until they are
either dispersed or exterminated, and
that the column will cross into Mexico
if the trail leads there, unless, in fact,
they have already done so.

EXERCISES
APPROPRIATE ON
FLAG DAY HERE

Flag Day exercises at the High
school auditorium last night under the
auspices and by the direction of B. P
.. E. of Americus, were not as largely
attended as it was hoped they would
be; however, a good-sized audience
vas present to enjoy the splendid pro-
gram that was carried out, and which
was of a very high order.
The exercises were opened by the
chorus singing Star Spangled Ban
ner." This was followed by introduc-
tory exercises by officers of the order
OF Elks, in which was exemplified the
objects emphasizing the basic princi-
pies of the organization, which is the
brotherhood of man, love of country,
and patriotic zeal for same. E. H.
Lyman paid a splendid tribute to the
flag and was listened to with much APP
probation. The recitations by Miss Su-
sic Stallings were choice and delight
fully rendered. She charmed the audi
ence in such manner as would have
done credit to much more expert
enced elocutionist. Her many friends
are delighted to render her praise for
her splendid accomplishment.
The speech of E. A. Nisbet on "Our
Country" was a gem of thought and
diction. His words were timely and
appropriate and did not fail to arouse
a deeper sense of appreciation and love
of country and the national flag in the
minds and hearts of his hearers.
In their entirety the exercises were
clean, elevating and inspiring, as well
as entertaining and entitled to highest
praise end commentator.

Carranza Note is Finished.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
Secretary Lansing today laid before
President Wilson the completed draft
of note replying to Carranza's de-
mand for the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico. The head of the
state department and the president
conferred at length concerning the
verbage of the note, and it was alter
announced the document will not be
sent before next week at the earliest
1t is understood here today that the
ncte fatty decline to withdraw troops
from Mexico until the Carranza gov
eminent shows its willingness and
ability to protect the border states. a
sharp rejoinder to the suggestion OF
withdrawal in Carranza's note is the
suggestion that the de facto govern
ment evidence its ability to give good
administration in the troubled states
Of the Mexican republic before asking
this country to withdraw it's own pro-
lection from American citizens and in
terests along the border.

WILL BE WILSON
AND MARSHALL IN
TON|GHT'S WORK

COLISEUM, st. Louis, June 15.-
The democratic national convention
Will renominate Wilson and Marshall
tonight instead of waiting until Fri
day and Saturday morning, if the con-
yentions approves the recommendation
OF the rules committee, which unanim-
ously voted to recommend such action
be taken tonight.
The convention was called order at
LAO o'clock this morning. the perma-
nent organization being adopted, and
shortly afterward Chairman Ollie
James began delivering his speech.
An eighteen-m minute demonstration
occurred when Chairman James re-
counted President Wilson's victory in
the German negotiations, and at 1853
o'clock the chairman concluded his ad-
dress.
The platform makers worked while
tie convention perfected its organiza-
tion, one of the planks commanding
considerable attention being one to IA
vor government aid in the erection and
maintenance of terminal warehouses
for the storing, grading and weighing
of -perishable farm products. The
plank is favored by delegates repre-
senting sections where tobacco cotton
and grain are grown, but final action
thereon had not been taken at o'clock
this afternoon. Government aid to
such warehouses, it is stated, would be
of vast benefit to producers of such
crops
The resolutions committee, which is
constructing the party platform, and
may present it's report before the end
of the afternoon session, had before II
al. day President Wilson own draft"
and William j. Harris suggestion con-
corning several planks to be inserted
in the document. At O'Clock, the
hope was expressed that the commit
tee would bring in its final report by
G o'clock today.
The subcommittee constructing the
suffrage declaration to be incorporate
ed in the platform, is regarded by
suffrage leaders here, as none too fav-
orable to their cause Only three OF
the members of the subcommittee are
openly favorable to suffrage, and in
we'll informed circles it is expected the
committee will report suffrage en-
dOrsement similar to that adopted by
tie republicans, which virtually de-
clares the issue one to be settled by the
states apart from the federal govern
ment.
Only few delegates were in their
seats when the convention assembled
this morning, and when Bryan arrived
the former nominee was given niosy
reception. The band played the pre-
paredness song, Wake Up America"
as the olive branch democrat walk
ed down the convention aisle, but the
cheering was most hearty.
The convention before adjourning
this afternoon agreed to meet tonight
at 9 o'clock for nominations. Before
the adjournment motion was adopted
there were calls for Bryan, but the for
mer leader slipped out Of the conven-
tion hall during the demonstration.

GOVERNOR HARRIS SAYS
He IS SQUARE IN RACE

ATLANTA, Ca, June 15.-Governor
Nat E. Harris has once more made en-
phatic denial of the report which had
again gained circulation that he would
retire from the governors race.
you can say for me" said the gov
clnor, that am still in the race, and
that l am running just as fast as my
wind will allow, and that 1 am a long
way from winded yet"
The source from which some of these
reports are gaining circulation seems
to be clear to the governor, and he in
timated that, with the continuance of
such reports, he would pay his re-
spects to the circulators in the near
future.
A we'll known politician, who for
personal reasons, asked that his name
be not used, declared his honest con-
viction, after trips over the state, that
Governor Harris will be reelected
This politician is supporting another
candidate.

SENATOR JAMES IS
PLAIN IN REVIEWS
ON WILSON S WORK

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The achieve
ments of the Wilson administration in
enacting beneficial legislation and in
keeping the country at peace without
sacrifice of the national honor were
pronounced epoch-making in American
history by Senator ollie M. James, of
Kentucky, in his address today as per-
manent chairman of the democratic ma
tional convention.
During three years of its national
CONTROL" said Senator James, dem
ocracy has enacted into law more pro-
gressive remedial legislation than the
nation has ever had written upon its
statute books since its birth. In for
mer national contests in the last two
decades our party came as a prophet.
Today we come with deeds, not words;
with performance, not promise. The
democratic party has kept its word
with the American people. We have
made good"
The chairman reviewed at length the
legislative record of the administration
and eulogized the president for his di-
rection of foreign affairs. The demo-
Gratis, he said, enacted a tariff law un-
Ger which monopolies were curbed and
mexampled prosperity attained; a
banking law taking the money control
out of the hands of an oligarthy and
making panics no longer possible, and
many reform measures of lesser i'm
portance.

ing American rights against the en-
croachments of European belligerents
had shown all the world thar the pres
ident neither bullies the weak nor
fears the strong"
In concluding appeal for the tri-
umph of patriotism above politics, SEN
ator James said the denomination of
such president in partisan convention
odght not to be necessary, and that to
discredit him might palsy the hand that
could write the peace treaty of the
world.
At the outset the senator referred
briefly to President Wilson's campaign
against lobbying in congress and point
ed out that under this administration
the constitution had been amended Off
the first time since the civil war when
I'VE freed the senate from the control
Of the great interests by making II
