GREEK REGULARS.
JOIN THE COLORS.
IN |NSURCENT

A wireless dispatch from Athens re-
ceived in Paris this morning says four
thousand Greek troops in Canae have
joined the Greek revolutionists.
The London war Office announced to-
day that during Monday and Tuesday, s
fighting British forces on the Somme
front took between three and four
thousand German prisoners.
Paris news dispatches say the
French troops in the west by brilliant
attack captured the strongly fortified
wood east of Vermandovillers and a
war Office announcement says the Ser
bians have repulsed three violent Bull
garian attacks on the Kaimbalkealan
heights.
The Germans are being given no rest
on the Somme front today. The Brit
ish capture of Thiepyal, following
closely the capture of Combles, was
followed last night by the French drive
at Vermandevillers, apparently aimed
at Chaulnes, the effort to surround
which has been apparent for some
time. Entente military observers to-
day expected further inroads into Ger
man territory.
The French drive beyond Vermande-
yillers is pointed to as threatening AL
LANES and preparing the way for an
encircling movement aimed at Bar
rome. and important railroad junction.
The Bulgarian war Office in its state
ment today claim to have forced the
Entente forces to retreat along the en-
tire west end of the Macedonian front
alter a ten-day battle there.
Greece is apparently on the verge OF
entering the war on the side of the En-
tente, it being reported late today that
King Constantine has consented to
such action.
The London war office announced
this afternoon that British troops in
France again advanced on the Somme
front last night, scoring brilliant sue
iesses in the direction OF DAucort and
L'Abbeye.

CONVENTION HALL, Macon, Ga,
Sept. 27.-The three new judges of
the court of appeals are Walter F.
George, of Dooly; W. Frank Jenkins,
OF Putnam, and Roscoe Luke, of
Thomas. The final coterie of jurists
were selected by the convention on the
third ballot, although Judge George
was nominated on the second ballot
with vote of 219.
Something in the air told the care
full watchful newspaper men as the
third roll began that something would
result. The reflections in the counties
were carefully watched After Effing-
ham had cast her ballot and few more
counties had been called, the delega-
tion from that county asked that their
vote be changed from Fullbright to
Luke. That was the pointer.
Chairman j. j. Flynt ruled that no
changes could be made while the vot-
ing was in progress. AS the name of
the last county was resounded by Read
ing Clerk Howard, of Baldwin, there
was a deluge of delegates calling for
recognition from the chair. The walk
ing stick of Chairman Flynt was the
conventions gavel. 1t pounded the
table-and gradually the delegates
were recognized who began to change
their votes already cast on the third
ballot to Luke and Jenkins The ava
lanche began. The rolling tide gained
momentum. Fullbright, Stephens,
Bloodworth and Hutcheson were sacri-
feed in a rush to end the convention
with the nomination of Jenkins and
Luke, which completed the three judge
shins

McCurry's Ten Strike.

julie McCurry, of Hart, warm sup
porter of Frank Jenkins, attracted the
entire attention of the convention at
the beginning of the third ballot when
he received recognition and adroitly
uueried if Jenkins liked only a bare
few votes for nomination. This was
shown by the official count of the sec
ond ballot when George was rushed
into the nomination. The convention
saw McCurry's maneuvers-and they
answered his spectacular question by
rushing to the aid Of Jenkins.
Luke was nominated by the rapid
fire changes of the first congressional
district delegates from Fullbright to
Luke. The chorus echoed and re-
echoed--and, alas, the assistant secre-
taries gave up the idea of changing the
ballots on their tally sheets. The con-
vention nominated jenkins and Luke
without the official result being known.
The HutchesOn Failure.
Not single man at the convention
who posed as a wise-acre doubted but
that Hutcheson, of Turner, would be
ore of the nominees. His nomination
was made. and numerous seconds Of
fered. Then Albert Howell, Jr., of Full
ton. recognized as the factor among
the Dorsey supporters, seconded the
nomination of Hutcheson. This was
believed to be the inevitable tide.
But, this did not happen. The dele
gates were bent on making their
choice the nominees. They failed to
sppport the tentative wishes of the
Dorsey leaders. Hutcheson was swept
away as the Dorsey convention nomi-
mated two men who were known to be
active in past politics as the friends of
n man whom every one know was
persona non grata" at this conven-
ton. We refer to Senator Hoke
Smith.

Sumter is Conspicuous.

Sumter county was generally con,
graduated by friend and foe n the
convention. Her delegates cast their
vote on every ballot and in every IN
stance just as the county voted in the
primary When the sweeping tide to
Jenkins and Luke came, Sumter stood
without the frenzy of spectacular turns
and cast her vote for Bloodworth and
Jenkins, just as the county voted on
September 18th. Already, she had add
ed four votes to the column of George,
who was nominated.
In the caucus of the Third congress
ional district Monday night Sumter
was representation without power,
The district was overwhelmingly for
Dorsey, and none but Dorsey men need
arply was the resolution passed in the
caucus.
For the first time in the history OF
the government of the Democratic par
ty in recent years, Sumter is not rep
resented on the state executive com

FOOTBALL WILL.
OPEN For ACG|ES
ON NEXT TUESDAY

The football season of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural and Mechanical
school will be pried open on next Tues
day afternoon, when the Seniors and
Juniors clash in the first of a series Of
games scheduled to determine the
championship of the school. Both
teams are fast rounding into form, and
both classes are confident that the
team representing them will be the
victor.
The Seniors have a slight edge on
the Juniors in view of the fact that the
majority of last years men comprise
the Senior team, but on the other hand
the Juniors have more from which they
may pick winner. Their back back
field is trife lighter than that of the
Seniors, while the players in other
positions are pretty evenly matched.
1t is hard to pick the winner, but
cne thing is certain. The team that
is returned victor will have to step
some.

AFTER THE CONVENTION Is OVER AND
THIS is OUR SAY FOR THE DAY AFTER


Hon. Hugh NJ Dorsey of his nomina-
ton and escort the young nominee to
the rostrum. 1t was day covered
with glory for Jeff-and he performed
with grace that was noticeable to
many friends.
Wilson Endorsed.
Woodrow Wilson and the democratic
administration were enthusiastically
endorsed. J. r. Smith, the temporary
chairman, sounded the keynote in his
address. 1t was in part affirmed by
permanent Chairman ]. ]. Flynt, al
though during his address he never
mentioned for single time the word
Democrat. This was particularly at
tractive to some, and noticed by every
keen observer.
Hugh Dorsey placed his flag on the
progress of Democracy and Wilson.
And, too, he deprecated the idea of the
antagonism of Georgia's two senators
and the convention went wild. Hats
went into the air and a lusty applause
greeted the reference to the enmity of
Hoke Smith and T. W. Hardwick.
Harweu Made Speech.
Judge Frank Harwell, of Troup
county, addressed the convention after
an invitation had been extended on the
motion of Hub Dean, of Hall, the floor
leader for the Dorsey forces. Mr.. Har-
wells address was awaited with a par
ticular interest because of the efforts
of certain Dorsey forces to nominatS
him for the unexpired term of Justice
Joseph Henry Lumpkin on the Su-
preme court, the place to which Judge
Price Gilbert, of Muscogee, was named
by Governor Harris. A split came in
the Dorsey caucus Monday night, be-
cause of this. Some of the Dorsey
forces refused to follow their leader
against Judge Gilbert. The Dorsey
managers foresaw a split in their own
ranks, with the Harris delegations
walking through the wide gap, with
Gilbert as their choice
Finally, Judge Harwell chose the op-
portunity offered to request that his
name not be considered in connection
with the well-founded rumors that be-
ban on Monday.
