Mr. Twitty is having a hard light
to get his bill making lawyer’s fees

are doing their best to defeat It,
Though our hotels aud boarding

boom has never been known In
this part of Georgia.
Notwithstanding the severe 1

THE ASHEVILLE CONVENTION
From present indications Oeor
gla will be well represented at the
coming convention of the Southern
States Immigration Bureau
Asheville, N. C. Dec. 17tb.
In addition to the large Dumber
of delegates appointed by Gov,
Nortben, other appointments are
announced this morning. Quite a
number of cities and counties are
making appointments, and it is ex'
pected that at least fifty, and per
haps over one hundred delegates,
will represent the Empire State of
the South.
All Southern States Beem to be
taking an unusual interest in this
convention, and it will be the most
representative gathering of the
kind Aver held in the South. The
good suob a convention can do is
Incalculable, and its work will be
watohed with great interest.
THE CITY PRIMARY.
The mass meeting at the opera
honse Tuesday was certainly large
enough to demonstrate to the most
doubting that It was representative,
and the resolutions adopted, and
the prompt action in appointing
committees and naming an execu
tive committee was' proof ’evident
that the Democratic Voters were in
favor of a primary for nominating
city officers.
The executive committee has
called a primary for Thursday, Dec.
11th. While the time is short, it
will make the campaign a very
lively one while it.lasts.
As noted In our news columns,
two candidates are before the peO'
pie for Mayor, Hon. John B. Fel
der and Capt. J. A. Cobb. All the
interest seems to center in the race
for Mayor, and It is probable that
the two gentlemen mentioned will
have the field to themselves in the
primary, but there are all ready in
dications that another candiaate
will be in the field on election day.
As to whether Capt. Cobb is eli
gible to the office bf Mayor, that
Is a question for each voter to an-
swer himself. His friends stoutly
assert that he is, while bis oppon
ents assert that he is not.
. Let tba abort campaign be con
ducted in a good humored manner,
