COMING, MARCH 2nd,
THE PRINCE OF GRAUSTARK

After a lapse of years, comes
a story about a Prince of Graus-
tark, who is none other than the
son of Princess Yetive, the hero
Inc Of "Graustark," so well re-
membered by our readers who en-
JOY good fiction.
This Prince is full grown
man, very much full grown, and
very much of a man. Moreover,
there is a beautiful girl in the
offing, whose relation to Bev-
erly is that of a daughter to
mother. Also, there is a very
shrewd, forceful, powerful A
merican millionaire, with a bril-
liant and lovely daughter.
Now given these ingredients, so
to speak, and the reader may
trust George Barr McCutcheon to
mix them up to give them Just
the right flavor-the flavor so
we'll remembered in the famous
stories "Graustark" and "Bever-
~ of Graustark. " This intensely
interesting story of romance in
the quaint, far-off principality of
Grausiark, will appear in the
columns of the Courier, beginning
Thursday, March 2. You should

SCORES PEOPLE
KILLED IN FALL
QUEBEC BRIDGE

QUEBEC, Ont, Sept. 11.-Sixteen to
twenty-five people are believed to have
been killed when the new centray span
of Quebec bridge over the st. Law
renee river collapsed fifteen feet in the
air, as it was being hoisted into place
this morning. Ninety men were on the
section which sank in two hundred fees
.of water at the time of the accident,
and it will require roll call work
men employed on the structure before
the exact loss of life can be estab-
lished
The bridge, which is being built at a
cost of seventeen million dollars, will
shorten the railway journey from Hall
fax to Canada two hundred miles. 1t
stands on the site of the structure
which collapsed during 1907 with a
loss of seventy lives.
Many Canadian government officials
Including several cabinet members.
newspaper men and several thousand
tourists witnessed the collapse of the
huge span, and CONSERVATION was
created in the ranks of these onlookers.
A special train brought twenty of the
injured here this afternoon and esti-
mates of the dead range from three to
twenty-five, the latter number being
the estimate of the st. Lawrence Bridge
company, which has the contract for
erecting the structure. The span
which collapsed weighed five thousand
tons, and the cause of the disaster is
unknown.

JUST A LITTLE
bit Of HEAVEN
On THE EVE NOW

ATLANTA, Ca. Sept. lin the
Headquarters office of Governor Nat q.
Harris today one of the managers was
making final check of the counties
reading newest kilograms, smiling and
passing them to his friends. And as
lie worked he whistled Just Little
BIT of Heaven" He dfdn't whistle IT
very well, and, perhaps, he didn't know
lie was whistling at all, but the spirit
of deep content filled his soul and ran
over and anybody in the corridors
might have known that here was one
man with no worry on his mind.
There was crowd around Harris
headquarters, which a few weeks ago
contained nothing but desk and a
manager and stenographer, for the
news had loated around that here was
a sure winner and people love win
ner above all things. 1t was a strange
contrast to the other three headquar-
ters in the old Kimball, fondly known
as the nursery of Georgia politics.
There was silence around the Dorsey
outfit. Telegraph messengers were
in evidence there also, but the tele-
grams were going out and not coming
in. The cry of distress was burning
the wires In the Hardman offices, the
manager was proving with a pencil and
paper that the doctor couldn't lose.
Over in the Pottle headquarters they
were adding up the county unit con-
vention votes and moving them here
and there, for Mr.. Pottle has announce
ed he doesn't expect to win at the polls
and depends upon the convention.

HudsOn's Statement.

When the headquarters of Hudson
we're queried this morning as to a
statement in regard to the latest cam
paign thrill, they furnished the
recorder with a copy of letter
they are writing over the Third dis
trict today to supporters of Hudson.
The letter is:
"Hudson's campaign headquarters
has just sent out over the district
the following telegram:
" BE on the lookout. Crisp's friends
circulating the rumor that l failed to
file Campaign report" as required by
federal statute. Report has been filed
as required Give this all the pub
licity possible. Letter follows.
by reference to Act of Congress,
approved June %, 1910, as amended
August 8, 1911, and as further amend
ed August 25, 1912, candidates for con-
gress are required to file their cam
paign report of expenses, etc, with
the clerk Of the House of Representa-
tives, Washington, D. c., at least ten
days before the nomination. This
Mr. Hudson overlooked, being i'm
pressed that the law was as it had been
heretofore, and is in this state, that
he only had to make this report after
the nomination.
This failure on his part, under the
law, does not affect the election in any
way whatever, not single vote to be
cast therein, but simply subjects Mr.
Hudson to fine, provided it was
wilfully omitted. OF course, it has
not been wilfully omitted, and his re-
port has now already been filed, as
required by law,
we understand Mr. Crisp's friends
are trying to take advantage of this
by sending out kilograms from Wash
ington, D. c., all over the district, to
gible by reason thereof, and that he is,
besides, liable to fine and imprison-
ment because CT this failure. Correct
this report in your county and vicin-
ity Immediately, and by doing so
promptly, it will prove boomerang
and aid us materially"

NO SINGLE SHOTS
IN PRIMARY FOR
TUESDAY

Sumter county, nor any ether coun-
ty for that matter, can single shot"
in the primary Tuesday.
Single Shooting is common practice
in Georgia, and if you commit this
offense your choice in that particular
race will not county and your ballot
for that special office will not count.
For instance, there are fourteen can
didates for judgeships on the Court of
Appeals, with three to be nominated.
Every voter must vote for three men
by scratching eleven names, or his
vote will not count He cannot vote
for one, or two-but he must vote for
three to make it count.
The Sumter county executive com
mittee is sending out notices this af-
ternoon that Floyd P. Jones has with
drawn from the race and each notice
will be posted at the several polls. The
statement of Chairman Hollis Fort is
that if voter casts his ballot for Mr..
Jones and another candidate it will be
thrown out. In other words, leave two
names on the ticket for representative,
scratching Mr.. Jones and two other
candidates.
