4 SHOULD EQUAL REGISTRATION The Vote in Bibb County To morrow Will Not Be Large. HOW THE TICKET READS The Registration in the County is Light, but All of Those Regis tered Should Turn Out. Tomorrow the Democracy of Bibb county will turn out to pile up as big a Demo cratic majority as a very light registration can allow. It la probable that the Populist ticket will receive less than 100 votes in this county, while the Ilemocratic ticket will doubtless h>ve over 3,000 votes. The full state ticket will receive, it is expected, 2,000 majority In the county. While there has been an apparent apathy In this county owing to the absence of op position for the local offices, it is the belief among the political leaders that voters ■Wil! make the small »acrifice o; time nec etiiaiy to get their votes ‘n. Ihi usual polling piacje will be open and the election w’J be conducted by the justices of the peace of the county ami the the freeholders they may select as mana gers. The stale ticket to be voted for is as fol lows: Governor —Allen iD. Candler. Secretary of State —'Philip Cook. Comptroller General—‘William A. Wrlgnt State Tr> awurer—William J Speer. Attorney General —Joseph M. Terrell. Commissioner of Agriculture.—O. B. Rte vens. State School Commissioner—G. R. Glenn. Prison Commissioner Joseph S. Turner. Chief Justice of Supreme Court—Thomas J. Simmons. Associate Justice of Court for Full Term of Six years—William H. Fi«h. Associate Justice of Supreme Court for Unexpired Term of Two Yearn —‘Henry T. Lewis. Senator from Twenty-eeoond Senatorial District—J. T. Redding. The only feature of the state ticket about which there is any apprehension is the constitutional aim ndements providing for the election of Judges and solicitors of the superior court by the people. The general feeling is in favor of taking the election of those officials out of the hands of the legislature, where they have been used for purposes of trade, and putting the choice of the incumbents In the hands of the people. The great mass of Democratic voters, if not all, are in favor of the amendments, which require a majority vote for their ratification. The citizen desiring to vote, for these amendments must see to it that he strikes out any provision which appears on the ticket reading “against,” etc. ‘Some tickets have the amendemeuts printed twice, with the word “for” before one set, and the word "against” leading the others. All that is tuctsasry is to strike out which ever one it is decided not to support. The form of ticket to be voted on this subject is as follows: For ratification of the amendment of paragraph 2. of section 3, article 6 of the constitution (for election of Judges of su perior courts by the people.) Against the ratification of amendment of paragraph 2 of section 3, article t> of the constitution (against the election of judges of superior courts by th<j people.) For ratification of amendment of para graph 3 of section 3, article 6 of the con stitution ( for election of judges of superior OOUrts by the people. Against ratification of the amendment of paragraph 3 of section 3, article 6 of the constitution (against election of judge* of superior courts ‘by the people.) IFor ratification of the amendment of par agraph 3 of section 3, article 6 of the con stitution against election of judges of su perior courts by the people.) For ratification of amendment of para graph 1 of section 11 of article 6 of the constitution (for election of solicitors gen eral by the people.) Against, ratification of amendment of paragraph 1 of section 11 of article 6 of the constitution (against election of solici tor* general by the people.)■ The act under which this election is held la as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same, that paragraph 2 of section 3 of article 6 of the constitution of this state be amen ded so that the same shall read as follows, <o-wlc “The successors to the present and •obsequent incumbents shall be elected by the electors, entitled to vote for members of the general assembly of the whole state, at the general election held for such mem bers. next preceding the expiration of their reapoetlve terms: provided, that the suc ceßsoro for all incumbents whose terms ex pire on or before the first day of January, 1899, shall be elected by the general assem bly at its session for 1898, for the full term of four years.” Section 2. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that paragraph 3 of section 3 of article 6 of the constitution utf this state be amended so that said par agraph shall read as follows:, to-wit: “The terms of the judges to be elected under the constitution (except to fill va cancies) shall begin on the first day of January after their election. Every vacan cy oc by death, resignation or other causes shall be filled the first day of Jan uary after the general election held next after the expiration of thirty days from the time such vacancy occurs, at which election a successor for the unexpired term •hall be elected.” “Section 3. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that paragraph 1 of ueotlon 11 of article 6 of the constitutor of this jtate be amended so that the same ehall hear as follows, to-wit: “There shall be a solicitor genera) for each judicial cir cuit. whose official term (except to fill a vacancy) shall be four years. The succes sors of present and subsequent incu nbents eball be elected by the electors of the whole state qualified to vote for the members of the general assembly, at the general elec tion held next preceding the expiration of their respective terms. Every vacancy oc casioned by death, resignation or other causes shall be filled by appointment of the governor until the first day of Jduuiry af ter the general election he'd next after the expiration of thirty days from the time •such vacancy occurs, at which election a successor for the unexpired term snail be elected; provided, that the successors for all incumbents whose terms expire on or before the first day of January. 1899, shall be elected by the general assembly at its eeosion for 1898, for the full term of four years.” In addition to this ticket the members of the legislature from this county will be voted for. The names are Messrs Roland (Ellis, J. H. Hall, and A. W. Lane. All of these are new and untried, but it is felt by the people that they have perhaps €he very best delegation’ that has ever been •ent from Bibb, crtainly that it will be a useful and hardworking set of representa tives. •Mr. Roland Ellis, the youngest member of the delegation, but who led the ticket in the nomination, has been already mention ed for speaker pro tern. All of these representatives have got im portant bills to introduce in this legisla ture and some of them affect materially the future of this county. The county officers will be elected to morrow, the ticket reading as follows: Clerk of Superior Court—R. A. Nisbet. Sheriff—B- H. Westcott. Tax Receiver—R. J. Anderson. Tax Collector —Albert Jones. County Treasurer —C. B. Massenburg. County Surveyor—C. C. Anderson. Coroner—Jerre Hoiks All of these are true and tried, not only in their Democracy, but as officials bolding public office. It has often been said that Bibb county has the best county officials In the state. The people of the county are of this opinion for the same officers have received the endorsement of re-election as their terms expire and no Populist of other i has been found with sufficient force to make even the showing of a running, while tven at the primaries no one can be found who imagines his strength sufficient to de feat them. It is to be hoped for the sake of Bibb county's Democratic reputation that the vote tomorrow will ‘be as large as the leg registration will allow. Notes Taken On the Run.

DURING THE CARNIVAL Army Should be Well Represented, He Says, and if Others Fail He Wants the Third Georgia. Congressman Bartlett this morning sent a long telegram to Washington asking that one regiment at least be sent to Macon in time to take part in the carnival. The telgram was a lengthy one .and set forth the fact that Macon having already been selected as a place for encampment, the people of the city were anxious to have the army well represented at the carnival for the purpose of celebrating the victory of the American arms. Judge Bartlett said that if the depart ment was unable to send one of the regi ments destined to come to this camp for the regular winter encampment, that the Third Georgia regiment be »ent hers dur ing the carnival. The telegram was a long one and no doubt will have considerable weight with the department. President Waxelbaum received letters this morning from Governor Black of New York; Governor Powers, of Maine; Gover nor Wolcott, of Massachusetts, and Gov ernor Cooke, of Connecticut, stating that they had sent flags to represent their states in the carnival. In each letter there were wishes of success for the carnival. Colonel William Jennings Bryan, of the Third Nebraska, has Bent a beautiful flag to be carried by Miss Columbia. The flag is the prettiest that has yet been seen and Is highly appreciated by the Carnival As sociation.

TURING PORTO RICO FROIR THE SPANIARDS. (Continued from first page.) with had they been so disposed. The American commissioners laid down the general proposition that the Spaniards could remove all their personal and pri vate effects, state papers and everything belonging to the military and the estab lishment that was movable. To this the Spaniards assented and this is the general theory upon which the evacuation is tak ing place. The only collision thus far has been in connection with some six-tuch seige guns on carriages. When the first regiment of troops were embarked on the San Fran cisco last Thursday four of these guns were taken to the wharf ready for ship ment. Our commissioners protested on the ground that although the guns were mov able, from place to place when in action they were located in embrasures and forti fied and must be defended. In other words they were not movable with a fighting line. After some discussion, the Spanish com missioners agreed to this definition of a lovable gun iwhich confined it strictly to field artillery pieces. A great deal of the old plunder about the military barracks and arsenals and the equipments of volunteers and civil guards, which has been disbanded, is being sold for what it will bring. The money result ing from this sale the Spanish authorities will of course, take back to Spain. A couple of Americans are buying up much of this material for a mere song and the American people will doubtless in time have an opportunity to glut its appetite for military souvenirs of the Spanish army in Porto Rico. It is impossible to tell exactly when the last of the Spanish troops will depart. Two transports are due in a week and the in dications are that in less than three weeks at most General Macias will relinquish control of the last foot of territory. A fitting celebration is being arranged for the occasion of the flag raising at San Juan. Both the naval and military forces will participate. In case General Macias will accept, it is probable that a dinner or 'reception will be given in his honor by the American commissioners. HALF CENT fl WORD Miscellaneous. M. C.
