the Richmond Hill precinct. an instant
before the car plunged over thirty

AS the car sped down the hill it
passed Patrolman Glantzlin, who was
off duty. He made a flying leap for
the running board. his original inten-

bring the car to a stop. He changed
his mind, however, when he noticed
that the car was about to enter sharp

Instead he reached into the car and
seized Mrs. Andrews about the waist

the car plunged over the edge of the
embankment, Glantzln, with his double
burden, dropped to the road, barely
avoiding following the car.

Why This Oppor-

Our great readjustment sale last
Autumn anticipated the radical
reductions along all lines that
have followed. In consequence
we are, and for several months
have been. on reconstructed
price basis.
We realize, however. that unus-
ual values must still be present
ed in order to appeal to the
widespread spirit Of economy.
We decided to create such an
opportunity, by reducing our
discontinued fabrics and pat
terms, and such seasonable
goods which, If not sold now.
would remain In stock for some
time, to prices which would
make certain their sale by June
30th.
Our further desire was to bring
our establishment, it's resources,
and the attractive prices of our
merchandise to the attention of
those who, for some reason,
may not have visited us before.

MAYOR NOMINATION
VACANT, SAYS JUDGE
Who Refuses To Grant Writ To
Declare Mitchell Nominee
Attorneys Argue at Length

The Democratic nomination for
Mayor of Richmond is, vacant.

declared as his belief. sitting here
Saturday morning. when he dis
missed petition brought by at
torneys for Jeff d. Mitchell, ask

Judge Shackelford refused the

opinion that sitting iii chancery

to enter into any sort of trial Of
the contentious of the attorneys
for Mitchell. that Mayor Evans
had not complied with the cor

statement OF his expenditures be-

held further that the Election

judicial powers.

Judge Shackelford gave care
full consideration to the argument
and authorities cited by attorneys
for each side. He declared that
the case before him involved a
number of very unusual circum-
stances, which had never been
passed upon by a court before.
He sought to obtain information
from the attorneys as to what
sort of relief Mitchell might
have did he desire to- prosecute a
contest. Attorneys Smith and
Greenleaf argued that there was
no legal machinery by which he
might obtain relief.

new COUNCIL MAY
name THE MAYOR
Plan Suggested BY Which Fur
ther Primary Election Scram-
bic May Be Eliminated

Judge Shackelford's decision in
circuit court Saturday morning
that the democratic nomination
is vacant, following the death of
Mayor Evans, and cannot be
claimed by anyone, has set spec
ulation at work as to what course
may now be taken.
Those who have looked I'D the
law say that a nominee to run in
the November election can only
be chosen by the city members OF
county democratic committee !:
which would have the power eth
er to call special primary-the
expense Of which would have to
be borne by the candidates or
else the committee itself could
nominate.
However, there is another av-
enue which may be taken, that
would eliminate the necessity for
any further nomination or areu-
ment on the subject
Under the provisions of char
ters of Fourth Class cities. it lies
within the power of the members
OF the City Council to elect the
mayor by vote of its members.
All that is necessary to do. is for
the present council 90 days before
the November election. to pass
an ordinance providing for the
election of mayor by the coun-
Gil, and the new council which
goes into effect January |, 1922.
would be empowered to name the
mayor.
This plan is said to have met
much favor already and seems
certain of adoption A large ma
Jorlty of the members of both
councils are said to favor the
plan. and in this way take the po-
s1tion OF mayor out of the sCram-
bic Of a primary election In this
way. it is also argued. some
strong, progressive citizen. who
would not be willing ever to get
INTO a primary campaign for the
Office, might be induced to accept
the post, if it were rendered to
him by the vote of the council
i'll other words. a good man could
be drafted for the Office.
Danville chooses all of her CITY
officials in this manner, and it is
within the councils province,
also. if it desires to elect its City
Attorney. City Judge, and Chief
of Police. by that method. AS
nominations have already been
made for these offices. however.
there has been no discussion of
changing the methods of select
ing men for these Offices at this
time.
Sentiment does seem to be
strong though among the pro-
gresslve citizens of the city, for
selection OF the ma; or by the
council. Both the incoming and
outgoing councilmen are men in
whom all have confidence that
they will act for the best interests S
of the taxpayers and the citizens
IS a whole, and many feel that ii
would be very wise for them to
pick high class man for mayor
and thus avoid the primary scram
bic that rolls around every four
years.
