c. J. Page, residing on Lee street,
who operates a commissary near the
Seaboard shops neighborhood, is un-
der $50 cash bond to the police deI
partment and $3.50 to the sheriff as
a result of an auto collision just
south of the artesian well on Lee
street about 7 o'clock last night in
which his Chevrolet struck a car be-
ing driven northward by DR.. Herschel
Smith. He was arrested by the po-
lice on charge of reckless driving,
and was held in the barracks all
night This morning he was turned
over to Sheriff Harvey and a war
rant drawn against him for having
liquor in his possession, a quart of
"red" whiskey and bottle of wine
having been found by the officers in
the car. The auto was seized, un-
der the prohibition law, and is now
held by the sheriff.
Mr.. Page was said to have round
ed the corner of Lamar and Lee
street at such a high rate of speed
that it carried him onto the left side
of the street. DR.. Smith, seeing him
coming, turned his car to the curb,

Mr.. Page backed his car away from
the other, after it came to a stop, and

This morning he informed Chief
Bragg that he knew nothing of the
collision last night, although protest
ing that he was not in the habit of
drinking, and had not taken more
than two drinks yesterday.

Indications early this afternoon
were that the total vote in the pres
idential primary in Sumter county
would not pass 1900 today, out Of
total registration of over 2,1OO.
The interest, while present, was not
quite as keen as the leaders had ex-
pected, and 1t was evident early that
the vote cast in Sumter would be con-
slderably short of the registration.
The total vote in the 9th district
at 2:3O o'clock was 402, about half
the registration.
Leaders Of both the Smith and
Palmer sfactions here maintained
their attitude of complete confidence
all day. Palmer men asserted that
without doubt the 9th district
would give the attorney general a
substantial majority, which might
be expected to overcome any lead
Senator Smith might pile up in the
other districts. On the other hand,
the Smith men declared the senator
was at least breaking even in the
9th and leading in all of the other
districts.
While reports from over the state
were meager, wires from state head
quarters to county leaders Of both
sides today declared that victory was
being registered at the polls. In this
respect, both sides were again
equally confident in their express
ions. However, some of the more
experienced politicians, who have
seen other campaigns and look upon
politics with a less partisan eye than
some others, declared their expecta-
tion that Watson would swing
enough counties in Georgia to throw
the result into convention, neither
Palmer or Smith receiving a major
ity. A total of 189 county unit votes
are necessary to obtain majority.
