MISSIONER * Davenport, Bivins snd Wheatley for Aldermen—The Democratic Primary Yesterday—And the Nomination Hade —A Quiet Day. The primary for city officers Is over. And Hon John B. Felder will again be mayor. Mr. D. K. Brinson was renomi nated for clerk and treasurer. And Messrs. J. A. Davenport, W. K. Wheatley and J. E. Bivins were nominated for aldermen There was no excitement at any time during the day, and a more quiet election was never held In Amerlcus. No excitement existed around' the polls, and at times the place of voting was deserted by all save those connected with the manage ment. From the opening the vote wan light, an I only occasionally, sometimes at loug intervals, would a voter drop his ballot lu. The total number cast was 309. For Mayor, Mr. Folder received 272; Capt. Williams 119. For Clerk Mr. Brinson had no op- posltlon and received -397 votes For Aldermen the vote was ns follows: J. A. Davenport; 325. W. K. Wheatley, 287. J. E..Bivins, 281. Thos. A. Graham, 147. Lott Warren, 144. This elects the first three, and three good men they are. All are comparatively young, but have al ready become prominent lu affairs of interest to our city. They are braluy men, and will do much in aiding, the city by their work on the board. Mr. Felder has been too long among us, and too long a leader In all atTairs, to need any words con cerning him here. For nearly fifteen years he has held the position of Mayor, ami the marvelous growth and prosperity of the city speaks for his work. That he has served the city faith fully is admitted by all, even those who were opposed to him in the present campaign, and that he will continue in his good work is a fore gone conclusion. Capt. I’. H. Williams, the other uandluate for the office, also stands high in public affairs, and Is also popular with all. One point, which doubt) es* had inuoh influence with the voters, was the question of his eligibility to the office, and many of bis friends voted against him on this occouut. The race is now over, and the flrst primary for city officers ever held here is registered at a com plete success. Of course the nomi nees will be eleoted, and all scram bling is dono away with. No scrambling yesterday, and none on election day. That’s the way It Is, and the peo ple are more In favor of primaries than ever. After the result was announced last night a number of Mr. Fel der's friends visited bim at bis of fice and congratulated him on bis re-election. It was a regular re ception for the popular Mayor, and hundreds offered to bim tbeir con gratulations. A Bis Fight Over the Technological School Bill Appropriation—No Devel opments In the W. 4t A.

The case Is oue exciting great Interest In the community, and the court bouse was crowded witii spectators. For tbe defense there were Sim mons and Kimbrough, L. J. Bla lock aud J. S. McCorkle. For the prosecution was only the Solicitor- General. Only three or four witnesses were examined, and then tbe argument began. First was Mr. Blalock for the defense, who made a sound, logical speech on the evidence. Ho was followed by Mr. Hudson, who opened by stating the painful posi tion he was in, to have to prosecute such a lovely woman on such a obarge. But bis duty was clear and lie would seek to perforin it to tbe best of bis ability. This he did, making a splendid speech. Then Coi.

The Pooplo of Amerleus Tackling the Servant Problem—And are Consider. ing the Hatter Calmly—What Will They do. Often has The .Recorder men tioned tlie seriousness of the ser vant problem, and now feels called upon to again do so. Every day complaints are made, and the cry is that something must be done. The |>eopIe have nothing against the negroes, and by long associa tion with them would really prefer them to do this work. But all, and In fact, few oan be supplied now, and s imethlng must bo done. With this end In view u number of geutlemen lu various parts of tbe South have recently been try. to remove this trouble. The question Is now the most se rious problem that la agitating our people. This trouble Is not eon- flned to Americus, butlaffeots every section of the South. To-day there are now white ladleB doing their own cooking and house work thah over kuown before. In tho ooaq- try, negro women positively refuse to work for the whites, and many families are bringing their washing five and ton miles every weok to Amerlous, to have it done. Tbe negroes all over the South have formed seoret societies, and are pledged not to take the place of another, when discharged, It mat ters not what the provocation. You may dismiss a cook or servant for stealing or any other offense, and thstr places will remain vacant until the discharged servant sees lit to lift the boycott against you. ' . The blacks are also becoming more extol Donato in tbeir demands, and intolerant and insolent in their behavior. White ladies. are made to patiently hear all manner of affronts from their servants, or at the first word of reproof off they march and leave you without help. In every neighborhood there is a chief—generally a woman—who hat supreme command over the servants, and they obey her like a queen. She has the power any day to vacate every kitchen In her lo cality. Each month the supply of female servants grows scarcer and scarcer. They will only consent to .wait up on a white lady when forced to do so, and then reserve the privilege of doing as they please. It would make the blood of many a husband ix>il In his'veins to know alFtha In sults tbat his wife has to silently submit to daily from her servant*. She knows that to complain Ie use less, for It will only result In leav ing her without help.* A company o’ gentlemen have at last decided to get relief from this black tyrany, at any trouble end expense. They have recently opened correspondence with an em ployment bureau In New York, and wllljhavo brought this ’ way several' hundred skilled .white house servants and cooks, who will take the place of the negro women. These white servants will cost something more than black labor, but one of them will do the work of three negroes, and are in every tfsjH trustworthy and reliable. So soon as the contracts can be slgni " by parties desiring sneh servants gentleman will visit New Yorl people. / i This will not only render oyr la dles entirely independent of, negro women, hot a Urge number of the men now living In tbe cities will be forced to return to the farm, where they are so badly needed a* Held laborers.
