At county mass meeting the people
Cf Turner county went on record as
favoring Captain John A. Cobb of
Americus, should the people of this
section cooperate with Editor Law
renee. Captain Cobb has since de,
clined to have his name used, and it is
likely that Turner county will accord
the same support to William W. Dykes,
of Americus, whose friends will urge
his name as a delegate.
The following proceedings TOOK
place at Ashburn, at the meeting OF
April 11th
At a meeting held at the courthouse
here today the following delegates
from Turner county to the state con
Nention to assemble in Macon, MAY

ternates are Hon. J.. w. Henderson, OF
Sycamore, former representative from
this county, and Hon. J. H. Gilmore, a
leading citizen OF Rebecca.
'As Hon. J. Lawrence, editor of the
Wiregrass Farmer, is a candidate for
delegate to the Democratic national
convention to be held this summer at
ST. Louis, the delegates were of course
Instructed to vote for him.
"On being seen, the delegates ex-
pressed themselves as favoring Hon.
John A. Cobb, of Americus, for the
other delegate from the Third district,
provided the forces from west of Flint
river are favorable to Editor Law
rence's candidacy.
I'm view of the support being ten
dered them, it now appears that
Messrs. Lawrence and Cobb will be
the delegates from the Third.
Editor Lawrence has been one of
the greatest advertisers and upbuild-
ers of this section of the state, and
never having before asked political
favor, the people are anxious to see
him honored with the position he now
seeks"

that he comes in total stranger, is not
in a position to ask many questions
without exciting too much suspicion,
and he cannot learn your city in a
minute.
Several notes addressed to Mr..
Holmes (some of them with the odor of
carnations, etc. have been received
and they will be turned over to him for
his personal attention Any one desir-
ing to make suggestions, ask questions,
make friendly criticism, ETC., can ad-

and give them attention in
his own way and at his own time.
Many To Answer.
If questions keep coming in as they
have in the past few days, MIR. Holmes
will have his hands full answering
them, but that is part of the game, and
he will tell you all he can tell you, but
you must remember that there are
many things he cannot answer, for
under no circumstances will he give
any information that will lead to his
possible identity. He will of course
give you many tips as the contest pro-
crosses. but as for answering point
blank questions as to his height,
weight, and such things, these cannot
he answered at this stage of the game.

Methodists of this city and espec-

committee, of the new Lee street Meth
odist church, are highly gratified over
the headway being made in the cam
paign for funds to complete the
church.
A member of the committee said to

response on the part of the Methodists
OF the city has been most gratifying.
Those outside of our Methodist con
gregations are also responding liber-
ally, and we confidently believe it will
not be long before the full amount OF
$4,000 needed will be provided for,
as only about $4,000 of this amount re-
mains to be raised"

new building is being rapidly pushed
forward, and soon we will have a
church of which not only Methodists,
but all of Americus, will be proud"
