WILL PRIMARIES
COMEJN JUNE?
A Meeting of the County Ex
ecutive Committee Will
be Called Soon.
COST Os THE ELECTIONS
Has to be Taken Into Consideration
—Primary for Legislature May
Not be Called ’Till Later.
Hon. T. J. Ware, chairman of the Bibb
county Democratic executive committee,
ways that it is probable that he will call a
meeting of the committee on next Satur
day week at the court house to make ar
rangements for holding the gubernato
rial and judges’ primaries and the proma
riese for county officers and members of
the legislature and for the transaction
of such other business as may come be
fore them. The committee consists as
follows:
<T. J. Ware, Sam Altmayer, J. H. B. Wil
der, T. J. Carling, W. G. F. Price, W. H.
Cchatzman, Henry Jordan; Vineville dis
trict, B. M. Davis; East Macon district,
A. A. Subers; Howard district, S. A.
Crump; Hazard district, J. H. Smith;
Warrior district, 'Martin Toole; Godfrey
district J, S. Roley; Rutland district, S. J.
H. Head.
It is possible that the primary for mem
bers of the legislature and county officers
may be ordered to be held on June 6th,
the date of the gubernatorial primary, but
there is a disposition with some not to
get the legislative campaign mixed with
the gubernatorial contest.
The committee may order the primary
for county officers to be held on June 6th
and the primary for the’ legislature to be
held on July 6th, the date of the judges’
primary. All this is uncertain, however,
at the present time.
If the primary for county officers and
the legislature is not held on June 6th and
July 6th, each respectively, Who will pay
the expenses of holding ihe gubernatorial
and judges’ primary?
If the candidates for governor and
judges of the supreme court are required
to pay the primary expenses in many
counties, the cost to them would be consid
erable.
If the primaries for county officers and
the legislature are held on June 6th and
July 6th, as suggested, the expense can
be paid by assessments on the candidates
for county officers and the legislature.
It is probable Chat none pf the present
county officers will have opposition for
re-election, unless it may be the coroner.
From present indications there will be
at least six candidates for the legislature,
towit: S. A. Reid and D. D. Craig for re
clection, and Roland Ellis, J. H. Hall, A.
W. Lane and J. R. Cooper.

Mew Clothing for Spring.
“We have surpassed ourselves in the new spring things.” This is the
thing to say. Most clothing dealers say it about this time ; often when
it’s not saying much, either. But we say it because we know its it’s a
fact; personally selected every suit in the new
stock. Into these bright, handsome garments
V ‘JV the manufacturers have worked improvements
in making and trimming at so many points that
we sa y’ con fidently,

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION
Subsbribes Twenty-five Dollars to Aid the
Hospital Fund.
Macon Typographical Union No. 93 set a
good example to other of the labor organ
izations yesterday by sending in a dona
tion of $25 to the fund for the hospital
mortgage.
At the regular meeting of the Union on
yesterday afternoon, the matter was
brought up, and without hesitation the
donation was voted. The members of the
union seem to think that it is a duty on
the part of all the people, and especially
the working people of the city, to give the
hospital their most liberal support and
encouragement.
The hospital mortgage fund is growing
apace. It now looks as if the whole sum
would be in hand by .the end of this week.
Only a thousand dollors is now needed to
make up the whole amount.
The small subscriptions so far have been
very small indeed. That is to say they
have been very few in number and the
total has not been added to as largely as
might have been expected by those w-ho
have only moderate purses to draw upon.
The finance committee hopes that every
one will now come forward in the good
cause. Any amount, no matter how smdß,
and it must be remembered that ten cms
from every man, woman and child in Ma
con would if itself make up more than the
whole amount, whereas ten cents from
each one of the white population would
make up enough to pay off the balance un
subscribed.
