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. FOR CLERK OF COURT MR. ALLEN IN RACE An Efficient Court Officer of Sumter. Mr. H. E. Allen, the very efficient clerk of the Superior court, announ ces today his candidacy for re-elction. This is one of the most responsible of the county offices, and certain is it that none other is administered with more care. Clerk Allen is regarded as one of the most capable court clerks in Georgia and oftimes has 'the grand jury complimented him upon the conduct of his office, while mem bers of the bar and the public gen erally have only words of warmest j commendation for this popular offi- j cial and his very capable deputy, As- I sistant Clerk S.

Judge Charles R. Crisp of the city court and Solicitor Zach Childers will announce later for the offices they now fill very ably.

Several legislative aspirants are mentioned, and this feature of the race will not be a dull one. zThe date of primary is yet more than two months off, and the candi dates will have ample time wherein to meet the able voters. 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.” WOMAN’S EXCHANGE WELL PATRONIZED Ladies Are Aiding Free Kindergarten.

Williams, for the office of county treasurer, which position he has filled with ability and to the entire satisfaction of the people of Sumter during the past two years. Than Capt.
