8 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.

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.
