CREDITORS SLOW TO
VERIFY THEIR CLAIMS

VALDOsTA, April, 12.-Many
depositors of the Exchange Bank,
which is in the hands of T. w. Sum-
neral, liquidation agent, have not
made claims against the bank and,
so far as the liquidation agent
knows, they have no claims.
In paying out dividends these de-
positors will not get anything until
they make their claims. They will
not share in the first dividends un-
less their claims are promptly made.
Attorney J. B. Copeland, who has
the legal side of the case in hand,
said today that it is giving the off
cial in charge a good deal of trou-
bic because the depositors are slow

LAW DOESN' GOVERN
LECTIONS
This Is Interpretation Given By
Judge Thomas in Colquitt
Superior Court

MOULTRIE, April, 12.-Courts
do not settle political quarrels grow
ing out of primary elections. Such
disagreements must be settled by
the people at the polls on election
day, Judge w. E. Thomas, of the
Southern Circuit, said tonight in re-
fusing to grant mandamus sought
by Frank Clark, of Crosland, who is
contesting the nomination of L. O..
Rogers as county school superinten-
dent. Clark instituted the court
action with a view of forcing tho
Democratic executive committee to
put his name on the ticket in the
general election next November as
the party nominee. He commended
tA2t he would have been the noni-
n IF the local committee had not
permitted" the voters Of the Moul-
trie and Doerun districts to cas-
ballots in the primary in violation
of the special act which frobids vot
ers living in independent school dis
tricts from participation in the
election of school superintendent"
Judge Thomas virtually held that
the act cited did not apply co pri'
mary elections, saying: "This poinC
can only be raised before the courts
after an election is held, and the
question arises, who in fact has
been elected and is entitled to hold
the office. But primary such as
was recently held, does not elect
anybody, nor does it legally bind
anyone.
