Gunnison for re-clectlon to tho office of Tux Receiver of Dougherty county appears elsewhere In this evonlng’s Herald. There Is no talk of opposition to Mr. Gunnison. He has made a zeal ous and altogether saUsfactory officer, and his personal popularity Is n bul wark against whioh probably no one will care to run his head. POLITICAL SITUATION HAS BEEN SIMPLIFIED By Change In Forrii''bf Mr. Hall’s An nouncement for Clerk. The formal announcement of Mr. R. P. Hall, which has been appearing In The Herald for several days, Is changed from "for Clerk Superior Court and ex-offlelo Treasurer” to tho simpler form of "for Clerk.” This tends to greatly simplify the situation with reference to the race for Clork and Treasurer, subjeot to the Democratic primary. Mr. Hall originally announced for the two offices, which wei-e consoli dated a number of years ago by act of the legislature. The race for Treas urer is being made by three other can didates, Messrs. P. H. Jones, H. A. Tarvor and P. E. Tucker, on the as sumption that the act consolidating the offices Is unconstitutional, and that If a treasurer is elected the Su preme Court will so declare. Mr. Hall, as matters now stand, and should he be elected Clerk, will remnln ex-officio Treasurer of the county should the Supreme Court de-. not hear the familiar shriek of the big Clare -the act referred to constitution- whistle at the waterworks station, al. Should a contrary decision be 1 p 0 r the big whistle didn’t shriek. Scene from “Tke Eternal City" at tile Opera.House Tonight.
