TO OFFER FOR OFFICE
HE FILLS SO WELL
Captain Cobb a Candidate
for Ordinary.
Captain John A. Cobb has formally
announced his candidacy for re-elec
tion to the office of ordinary, and if
there should be one official more than
any other whom the voters of Sum
ter will deem it a privilege and pleas
ure to honor, it is this genial South-,
ern gentleman. His card appears this
morning, and his friends are asked
to give it careful perusal. Captain*
Cobb was elected to fill an unexpired
term, and only asks endorsement of
his administration by election to a
full term. His conduct of the office
of ordinary has received the unquali
fied endorsement of members of the
bar and the general public, while ev
ery grand jury, during his term of
office, has complimented him in the
highest in making their general pres
entments. No county in the state has
a more capable, conscientious and
competent official in that capacity than
is Captain Cobb, a fact the voters
will not overlook in making up their
ticket on April 15th.
AMERICUS.- GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1908.
APRIL 15 J)ATE NAMED
By Committee for Primary Election in Sumter for
All County Officers.
April 15th is the date of primary
election for county officers in Sum
ter. Such was the action of the coun
ity democratic executive committee,
which assembled here Saturday morn
ing for the purpose of calling the
primary and fixing rules therefor.
Chairman J. E. Sheppard presided,
and all sections of the county was
represented by committeemen.
The meeting was called to order at
the courthouse at 10:30 o’clock, and
as there was little to do beyond nam
ing the date and prescribing rules for
the primary, the session was short.
Some members, of the committee fav
ored a date in March, the general de
sire being for an early election, but
after full and free discussion April
15th was selected. And the same
rules governing former primaries will
be adhered to this time.
For the purpose of defraying ex
penses of holding the election, can
didates are assessed as follows.
Sheriff S3O; tax collector S3O; tax
receiver S2O; Clerk of court S3O;
Treasurer S2O; ordinary S2O; survey-
FEW CERTIFICATES
STILL OUTSTANDING
Mature March I and Banks
Want Them Back.
Have you some of the Americus
clearing house certificates issued by
the banks hidden away in old socks
or in the mattress? If so, the hanks
would pleased to have you dig them
up and _ come and get Uncle Sam’s
money in exchange.
The total issue during the financial
disturbance last fall was about $24,-
000 of a denomination of five dollars.
The certificates mature March 1. It
has been weeks since ftny of the Am
ericus banks gave out one of these
certificates over its counters. Very
few have been in circulation thi?
year. The only thing which worries
the hanks now is to get every one of
these certificates hack so that they
can he destroyed. It is quite possible
that some of these certificates may
have met with some mishap, and in
that case the banks will be that much
ahead.
No formal order or request has yet
been made for the return of these cer
tificates,"but the desire of the banks
to take up the bits of paper- has been
known among the merchants, who
have promptly turned them in de
posit whenever they received any of
them.
It is highly probable tlfat Americus
banks could have passed safely
through the panic which affected New
York so. disastroqsly without the is
suance of these certificates. Only in
the event of a much heavier run
than occurred would the local banks
have been hampered.
AS DELEGATE TO
NAT L CONVENTION
Newspapers Boosting Mr.
Crawford Wheatley.
Numerous boosts of Hon. Crawford
Wheatley for the place *of delegate
to the National Democratic Conven
tion, which pieets in Denver July 7,
have appeared in the various state
papers. His friends ahe legion all
over the state, and the prospect of
being honored by being selected as a
delegate from Georgia are so bright
that they could almost he called a
sure thing.
From Georgia will go 22 delegates
from the districts, two from each, and
four from the state at large. Mention
of the name of Mr. Wheatley for one
of the places from the state at large
has been frequent. While it would
of course be a little more honor in
itself to represent the whole state,
yet it is understood that Mr. Wheatley
has intimated to his friends that he
would appreciate even more the honor
of representing his own district.
That the Americus district will sel
ect-Mr. Wheatley as one of its two
representatives goes without saying.
When the state convention on
June 23 Mr. Wheatley will hardly have
opposition for one of the two places
as delegate.

MONUMENT FURORE
HAS BEEN PREMATURE
President Georgia U. D. C.
Gives Out Statement.
That the inscription for the Wirz
monument proposed from Savannah
will not be placed thereon has been
practically assured by the action of
the executive committee of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, held
in Atlanta Friday.
While the details of the meeting
were not givqji out, it is understood
that the ladies received numerous
communications from prominent Con
federate Veterans throughout the
South urging that the inscription be
not such as to offend sentiment any
where. Commander Stephen D. Lee
was among those who protested
against the Savananh inscription.
The following signed statement was
given out by Miss Alice Baxter, pres
ident of the Georgia division, U. D.
C., at the close of the meeting :
“Very much of the discussion and
all of the bitterness regarding the in
scription for the monument to Capt
ain Henry Wirz, to be erected by the
Georgia division, United Daughters
of the Confederacy, ha* been altoge
ther premature.
“The proposed inscription for the
monument had not, at the time of its
publication, been submitted to the exe
cutive hoard of the Georgia divis
ion.
“Daughters of the Confederacy have
been all the time open to suggestions
from friends of the movement and
have appreciated such as come from
those interested in the work.
“The monument is in course of
building and when erected a suitable
inscription will appear upon its
face.”

As a tonic Peruna has no superior.
But it is as a catarrh remedy it has
achieved its world-wide notoriety and
success.
Any catarrh remedy to become per

qualities. Catarrh is always an expres

that a catarrh remedy should possess
reliable invigorating qualities in order
