Moultrie, Ga., Aug. 2 —Financing the approaching state primary ta a ques tion that Is agitating the minds of the local organisation of the Democratic party. Chairman Z. H. Clark of the county executive committee said to day that there waa some doubt about there being any primary held In this county. There Is no money In the treasury and he thinks It Improbable that the candidates will stand for nn assessment from every county, or even two-thirds of th* countlee of the state. There are thirteen voting places In this county, and 2,100 white quatlfled voters. It costs 1300 minimum to hold an election, when th* polling places all over th* county are opened. The coun ty commissioners of this county have recently refused to pay a portion of the expenses of th* county prtmary, which was held two months ago, and ft la presumed will refuse tn bear J£e ex pensee of the stale primary. The registrars of the county will re fuse to make out the voters' lists until some assurance - Is forthcoming that they wilt receive nay. There are tlrk- eta and etsctlon blanks tn b* print,d and none of this will be undertaken un less some scheme presents Itself for raising the money.

The feat required Just two minutes and forty-live seconds. And it places the Atlanta prison on the record as the four hundred and sixty-seventh Jail broken by the mar velous Brlndamour. Police Captain Mayo and several po lice officers were present at the station Thursday night when Brlndamour vis ited the prison and performed hia re markable act. None of the officers be lieved the man could do what he claimed, but it was only a few minutes until their opinion materially changed. Brlndamour was taken into cell No. 28 and a pair of handcuffs placed on either wrist. One hand was then fast ened near the tpp of the cell door, as high as the “prisoner*’ could reach, and the other handcuffed to the bottom portion of the door. The strongly barred door was then closed and se curely locked by Turnkey Brannan, it fastening with a spring lock. The auditors then retired from the cofrldor and awaited developments. Two minutes and forty-flve seconds from the time the door was closed Brlndamour stood in the corridor, a pair of handcuffs dangling from each hand, and the cell door still locked. An announcement of thlB feat was made by Brlndamour a short while later Thursday night from the Casino stage. In breaking out of 467 jalla, Brlnda- mour has won the record of being tho only man who ever broke from Sing Sing prison. — Gilt-Edge Securities Found When Strong Box Is Opened. GOVERNOR POOH-POOHS Al ATTORNEY COOPER Attorney John R. Cooper came to Atlanta late Thursday afternoon, pos sessed of the Idea that a plot waa on foot In Valdosta to lynch the Rawlins and Alf Moore. He visited the governor, who laughed the Macon man out of any such wild notion. "John," said the governor, "I don’t think there's the least danger of any kind of a demonstration In Valdosta. But maybe you’d best not go down there without a military escort.” And by this kind of “Joshing” Gov ernor Terrell appeased the fears of the lawyer who haa fought ao hard to save his clients. According to a story In The Macon News, Mr*. J. O. Rawlln* came to Macon Wednesday night and had a long consultation with Mr. Cooper. She tried to keep her presence-secret, but It became known that she was In the city. It Is probable that Mrs. Rawlins was unduly excited over the matter, nnd communicated her fears to Mr, Cooper. At any rate, he made a hurry-up trip to Atlanta to see Governor Terrell. THINK CLERK GOT UM OF $300,000 FROM ERICK BANK By Private Leased Wire.
