THE WHITE PRIMARY.
GOOD MION SKLKCTKD FOIL ALL
OFFICES.
Their Nomination will be Unaui-
moualy Ratified Next Wednesday.
The city white primary passed
off smoothly last Friday, and
there was a good vote east.
The election managers from the
various wards were as follows:
Let—J. it. Barber; 2d—J. K.
Davis; 8d—W. K. Fielder; 4th—
A. O. Cobb; 5th—T. M. Pace.
Tho selection of such a board of
managers always insures the fair
conduct of such a primary.
Tho only oflice for which there
was any competition was that of
City Clerk, for which there wore
three good entries—Col. J. C.
Walker, Mr. Danio Roberts and
’Squire J. A. Wilson. The- last
named gentleman did not enter
the race until late, and after
Messrs. Roberts and Walker bad
made a thorough canvass of the
town, so that everybody recog
nized the fact that the race lay
between the twp younger gentle
men.
And it was a close race 1
Col. Walker came in at the
home-stretch with only 12 ma
jority, the votes standing as fol
lows : Walker 127; Roberts, 115;
Wilson, 10.
The. successful candidate is
olio of our rising young lawyers,
and there is no young man in
town with more friends or bright
er prospects than “Jim” Walker.
His opponent,Mr. Danio Roberts,
is likewise one of our very best
young men, substantial and pro
gressive,wliom everybody knows,
respects and likes. If would bo
hard to find two young men more
ovonly matched in popular favor,
and botii dosorve every good
tiling said about them.
In tho 1st Ward, Mr. O. W.
Smith was selected for Council
man—as ho well deserved—with
out opposition. Ho is ono of Oe-
dartown’s most successful busi
ness men, and an able financier
whoso work in the Council will
bo of ospocinl value to tho city.
Mr. Thos. J. Griffin, a success
ful contractor and builder and a
progressive gentleman,' was se
lected without opposition as
Councilman from tho 8d Ward.
Mr. A. R. Goliglitly, one of tho
4th Ward’s cleverest citizens and
a levol-hondod gentleman, was
also complimented by selection
without opposition as Councilman
from that ward.
Messrs. R. A. Adam?, W. O.
Bunn and J. E. Good were se
lected for members of the School
Board without opposition, and it
would bo impossible to find three
men better qualified for the
place.
Tlie following members of tho
| Executive Committee were re
elected without opposition, ns
Tiik Standard suggested last
I week: 1st—J. W. Barr; 2d—W.
; W. Mundys 8d—J. W. Adamson;
llli—W. 1<\ Turner; 5th—S. F.
j Marshall. It is a good committee,
and Could not lie improved upon.
Tile result of the primary is
I loyally accepted by our people,
and its action will be ratified
Unanimously at the p611s next
Wednesday.
Don’t fail to como out next
Wednesday, 19th inst., nnd cast
your vote for the primary iiomi-
liiees. While they will undoubt
edly have no opposition, they are
nil good men and deserve n full
vote.
Tin's iss-the last week of work
for this session of the Georgia
Legislature. '
Mr. and Mrs. I). B. Freeman,
of Cnrtersville, celebrated tho
twenty-fifth nnniversary of their
marriage by a pleasant gather
ing at their homo Saturday eve
ning. Mr. Freeman, who is now
one of the editors of the Oarters-
ville Oourant, was for several
years engaged in the newspaper
business in Cednrtown, and he
and his “better nine-tenths”
have a iiost of friends here who
congratulate them heartily on
their silver anniversary and hope
they may live to celebrate their
golden.
The retirement of Editor R. L.
Moye from the management of
the Outhbert Liberal-Enterprise
removes ono of the cleverest,
most enterprising and ablest
newspaper men from the ranks
of Georgia weekly journalism.
Ho has just rounded out a highly
successful four^yeara’ lease of
tho Liberal-Enterprise, ,nnd has
made botii money and reputation.
His duties as Mayor of Outhbert
and the demands of a good law
practice caused him to leave his
“best love,” but clever Bob Moye
will bo long remembered by the
craft as one of its brightest, best
nnd most popular members in
Georgia.
