STATE COMMITTEE DIFFERS The Only Thing Done in Accordance With That Body Was to Set the Primaries for June Sixth. The Bibb county executive committee met at 6 o’clock yesterday evening and decided to ignore the rules sent out iby the state executive committee govern’ng the primaries and the manner in which dele gates shall vote in the convention. The only thing that the Bibb county committee did that was in accordance with the action of the state committee was to set the primaries for the 6th of June. The committee appointed at the .meeting on last Saturday reported against the .adoption of the rules sent out Iby the state comm i-t tee and recommended that the same rules govern the primaries this year as obtained in I SUB. But the committee further resolved that gubernatorial delegates foe voted for in stead of voting direct for the gubernatorial candidates. This action will necessitate each of the three candidates tor governor having a set of six delegates in the field with six alternate dt legates and in voting lor tiie d< l< gates the people will really ‘be voting for their Choice for governor. This action of the committee is-regarded as favorable to Candler. The Candler ticket of delegates will be composed of some of the strongest men in the county. It is not (known vJho will constitute the Berner and Atkinson tickets. The commit tee also ordered a primary election on June 6th lor tiie legislature and county of ficers. The oainmittee adopted rules for the government of the primary. For the purpose of defraying the expenses of the party primaries and other (party affairs the candidates for the various offices are assessed as follows: Chairman Ware this morning appointed the following committees: On arrangements for voting of Itroops, T.

J. Ware, Chairman. Sam Altmayer, Secretary. Prior to the adoption of <the report the following preamble and resolution was offered and adopted: “Whereas, we are at present confronted with an unusual state of affairs which could not have been reasonably antici pated; and "Whereas, it is the desire and determi nation of the executive committee of the Democratic party of the county of Bibb to afford to all of the Democrats of said county an opportunity to vote in the prim ary which may be held on the 6th day of June, IS9S, in ithe county of Bibb: and “Whereas, at that time a considerable number of Democrats of Bibb county will be under enlistment as volunteers from the state o-f Georgia in .the army of the United States in the war now going on between the United States and Spain, and will not be permitted to return to the county of Bibb for the purpose of taking part in said primary; therefore be it “Resolved, Th-at a special committee be appointed consisting of five members whb shall proceed to formulate a plan for the taking, returning and consolidating of said votes, and said committee shall report the same back to this body on the 13th day of May, 1898, at 6 o’ lock p. m.” The following was also offered and adopted: “That a committee be appointed by the chairman of thus cammititee to prepare res olutions to be offered at the .next’state Democratic convention clearly defining the duties and powers of tlhe state executive committees, respectively, in order that there may be no doubt concerning the powers and authority of each of said com mittees. “2. That the delegates from this county be instructed to offer said • resolutions in the (Democratic state ccitivcntion, and to do all in their power to so define the au thority of the state executive committee and the county executive committees that, the same shall be clear and deifined, and that there may Ibe no dispute or contro versy in the 'future as to the authority of the state and county executive committees respectfully.” A resolution iwas adopted authorizing the chairman to appoint a committee to look after the details of the primary and the committee then adjourned- to meet (Friday evening, when the soldiers will be definitely provided for, HOW’S THIS?

Hall’s Family Pills are the best. HIGHER PRICES. Cost of Flour, Sugar, Coffee and Grits Goes • Up a Notch. War prices will soon be felt in Macon, -though there is no very great advance yet. Wholesale prices have jumped, on many staple articles. Dealers are not inclined ’ to attribute some of the heavier advances to the war a-lone. On nothing has the price advanced more .than flour, the wholesale price of which has gone up $2 on the barrel of 198 pounds. ' This is due, it is claimed, to speculation alone, and would have came had their been no war. A few other arti cles have .advanced .from causes extraneous •to hostilities. On sugar the price is up about one cent a pound, and it is said will go on higher later on. ißy some this<s attributed to the fact th'a-t sugar comes South now ‘by rail, the shipper being unwilling to send by the water routes on account of war. A differ ent reason is assigned by other .wholesale men, however, which is that the American Sugar Refining iCo-mpany, that now has about 60,000 tons tied up in Cuba, is the power pushing the price. A rise of 50 cen-ts a barrel is noted on grits, 10 cents per bushel on oats, 2 cents per pound on green coffee, as also advances on the dif ferent grains. Some retail grocers do not think the public will feel advances until the local dealers replenish their stock. Some of them had laid in stocks .before the rise, and will not, therefore, have to squeeze others un.til they are squeezed themselves. The retail price is by no means the same with storekeepers, each having a price set by himself. Beats the Klondyke, Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Texas, has found a more valuable dfscovery than has yet been made in the Klondyke.
