Size OF WATSON

OF SPECULATION
Polls Open Z A. M. To
6 P. NJ. In 9th
District

All was in readiness in Sumter
county today for the holding of the
presidential preference primary in all
the militia districts throughout the
county Tuesday, as ordered by the
state committee. Both the Smith
and Palmer partisans aappeared con-
fident of carrying the county. The
Smith advocates pointed to the fact
that Sumter county had always been
found in the Smith column, and that
the senator's friends were letting no
grass grow under their feet in the
present fight The Palmer men point
ed to the fact that the Senator's
greatest majority in Sumter county
in the past had been in 1910, when
he won by lab votes, and that it
would be necessary only to hold the
former Smith adherents and win rs
of his former supporters. The Smith
adherents answered this, however,
by pointing out instances in which
former opponents of the senator were
now lined up for him.
at looks good" said L. G. Coun-
'cil, Hoke Smith chairman. No state
ment was forthcoming from the Pal
mer organization
Both sides were specializing on the
size of the Watson vote in Sumter
county Estimates of the vote he
will receive varied from 100 to 250,
with none of the estimators certain
of their judgment.
Palmer's strength in Sumter coun-
ty is expected to be largely in the
city of Americus, while Senator
Smiths strength is expected to come
chiefly from the country, as will also
Watson's.
Announcement was made today by
Secretary Fred B. Arthur, of the
county committee, of the election
board for the 9th district, which
will be composed of Justice of the
Peace McMath and six oeher men,
three representing the Palmer faction
and three the Smith faction, all of
them volunteers The Palmer mem-
bers of the board will be DR.. e. T.
Mathis, W. M. Humber and Jack R.
Britton. The Smith members viii be
Stephen Pace, G. j. Williams and w.
G. Gray. In the other districts the
boards have been appointed by the
committeeman from the respective
0lSJrlcCS.
The polls will open at s O'Clock and
close at 3 o'clock in all of the dis
tricts of the county except the 9th,
where voting will begin at Z a. M.
and end at 6 p. m. All officials are
asked to be at the voting places at
the hours specified.
Three thousand tickets were re-
ceived today from the state COM
mittee, although tickets had already
been prepared here. Both sets are
identical, with the names appearing,
alphabetically ranged, in the follow
ing order:

There was considerable specula-

BUYS THREE CARS.
With BAD CHECKS
AND ENDS IN JAIL
c. L. Grady Held Under
900 Bond For OPP
erations Here

c. L. Grady, white man about
thirty-five years of age, is held in
jail here on several criminal charges,
including forgery, unable to give
$1,000 bail. He was arrested on
complaint of the Georgia Motor Co.,
it being alleged that Grady attempt
ed to pass three worthless checks up
on that concern. The story of Grady's
career here is interesting.
Several days ago, accompanied by
his wife, who is described as a
rather pretty young woman of inno-
cent appearance, Grady came to
Americas and visited the establish
ment of the Georgia Motor Co., say
ing he wanted to purchase several
cars. He represented to J. W. Mos
teller, manager of the company, that
he was engaged in the operation of
garage and selling used cars at
Rutland, Ca, near Macon, being as
sisted in his business by two brothers.
After spending a week here with
Mr.. Mosteller, and accompanying him
on business trip to Atlanta and af-
ter examining several cars, Grady
decided to purchase three of those
shown him, and offered in payment
therefor three checks, aggregating
in face value $2,700.
The transaction was thereupon
closed, Grady saying his two broth
ers were coming through the country
from Rutland to help him drive the
cars back to that place. He profess
ed to have received a telegram from
these brothers dated Fort Valley, say
ing they had been delayed, and later
Aappeared anxious regarding their
Ssafety, and asked to take one of the
cars out on the road to meet them on
the way here. Mr.. Mosteller agreed to
this, it is said, but sent along a rep
resentative of his company to show
Grady over the roads.
Meanwhile, becoming suspicious,
Mosteller Investigated the checks CIV
en- his company by Grady. and Satur-
day learned these were worthless.
All of the checks are signed ''W. G.
Gray" and being confronted with
the information that the checks had
been found worthless, Grady readily
admitted that Gray was not his name
at all. He was arrested soon after
ward, officers keeping the fact of
his detention secret in the hope that
probable accomplices would come to
Americas after the three automobiles
he had bargained for.
Being questioned in the Office of
Justice W. T. McMath, Grady offer
ed no explanation of his conduct, but
said he was a former newspaper man
and had once been city editor of the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun. He had in
fuential friends there, he asserted,
who would assist him in his troubles
here and all would come out right in
the end. His bond was fixed at
$1,000, which he said he had no hope
of providing, and he was locked up.
A commitment hearing of the cases
against Grady will be had Wednesday
morning before Justice McMath,
when the whole affair will be aired,
and Grady probably remanded for the
action of the grand jury.
Mrs. Grady wife of the prisoner,
in the meantime, remains at the Sum-
ter Hotel here, and, it is said, pro-
fesses entire confidence in the ability
of her husband to prove himself in
nocent of the charges against him.

19 IA cents was profiteering, and

25 3-4 cents per pound at the planta-
ton, plus freight from the planta-
tion to New Orleans, and again from
New Orleans to Americus, with cash
payment for the carload of about

sugar was quoted at a price low
enough to make it sell at that figure.

chase offers the only opportunity we
will have to get any sugar at this

cents in New Orleans, and am sure
the telegram l received this morning
was meant to cause me to cancel the
order, so that that carload could be
sold at today's market.

HARRIS TRIED TO

Trusts Committees To
Do Duty, He Says In
Statement

ATLANTA, April 19.-U. S. SEN
ator Hoke Smith, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for president
in Georgia's preferential primary to-
morrow, issued the following state
ment today in reply to VIM. j. Har-
ris, Georgia's junior senator, who
Saturday in statement urged the
county executive committee to select
delegates committed to Mr.. Palmer S
views in counties carried by Senator
Smith or Mr.. Watson.
Senator Harris card has created
great excitement among political
leaders of all factions who agreed
that it is unheard of to refuse a can
dldate the delegation from counties
which he carried.
The statement of Senator Smith is
as follows:
Il am perfectly sure the county
executive committees will do their
duty. | do not for moment sup
pose any committee will yield to
Senator Harris thinly veiled appeal
to stack delegations against me in the
hundred or more counties | will
carry.
Il knew he belonged to the opposi-
ton, but | admit | am surprised at
any public officer attempting so bare
faced scheme to pilfer an election.
The campaign against me has
gone through the usual stage of
Clark Howell's reckless lying and it's
usual reaction.
Il expect to carry the state over
whelmingly and no one can persuade
the county committees to take it
from me-certainly not the junior
senator. l have the utmost conf
dence in the Georgians who compose
these committees"
