THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
ELECTION FOR
MOSER IS
RUNNING CLOSE
I NO DEFINITE RESULT IN RACE AT
4 O’CLOCK.
The special election today for coun
ty treasurer of Sumter to fill the un
expired term of the late P. H. Williams,
has commanded interest and attention,
with nine candidates actively in the
race.
The polls opened here at 7 o’cloc’:
a. ih.., and at 4 o’clock this afternoon
400 votes had been polled. No one
here could forecast the result.
The county precincts closed at 3
o'clock and reports from these eight
voting precincts will be received dur
ing the late afternoon. The polls at
the courthouse will close at 6 o'clock,
with a comparatively light vote cast.
Os the 1900 qualified voters, probably
less than 1000 will participate in th?
election today. The result should be
known by 8 o’clock tonight, if all the
country precincts are reported.
JUST WHY THE WHISTLES
OIIIT SOUND LIST NIGHT
Just why the multitude of steam
whistles failed to join last night in
a requiem to O. U. Knocker as the
pageant started was a fact developed
today. Arrangements had been made
to have all the manufacturing plants
start their whistles in grand blast at
7:30 o’clock, and when they blasted
not, the funeral party wondered why.
Today Manager Hyman learned that
some unknown knocker, evidently a
twin brother of “O. U.,” had quietly
telephoned all the mills last night that
the fiwlic had been called off and no.
to sound the whistles. The trick suc
ceeded, and now the Chamber of Com
merce would like to know who play
ed it.

JUDGE FITE AGAIN
USES CONTEMPT IN
HIS GREAT COURT
ATLANTA, Ga„ Sept. 15.—The board
of commissioners of Murray county,
who were in Atlanta yesterday and
who are threatened with jail by Judge
Fite because he doesn’t like the way
they want to build their new court
house, decided to go home last night— (
and go to jail. (
They are all very prominent north <
Georgia citizens, Dr. Dunn, J. M. Sei- -
ters, J. A. McGhee and T. J. Hemphill.
Judge Fite says he is going to clap (
them into jail—the jail which they .
themselbes built —on the charge of
contempt of court the minute they set (
foot back in their native county, which j
ought to be about noon today.
The county board has made a tax .
levy to build the courthouse at Cahts
worth, with the front door facing r
north. The judge wants it built at £
Spring Place, with the front door f
facing south—or something like that—
and there you are.
a
The judge insists that the commis- v
sioners are trying to do something
which they have no right under the
law to do, while the county commis ■
sioners say that it is their own coun- t
ty and their own courthouse, and their t
own tax levy and that Judge Fite, of j
the Cherokee circuit, has nothing w
more to do with it than a Chinese man- ■
darin. ’
The Murray county folks from time
immemorial have been mighty hard
headed folks when it comes to hold
ing up what they believe to be their
rights, while Judge Fite is known all
over Georgia as a judge who puts peo
pie in jail when he says he is going to
do it, so it looks like Murray coun
ty’s proposed new courthouse is go
ing to be the center of a most awful
row.

Cotton Went to 10c.
ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 15.—Cotton
yesterday reached the highwater mark
in Atlanta for the present crop when
it was quoted at ten cents.
Spot cotton graded good middling
was quoted at 10 cents. Buying was
brisk, and cotton men here are of the
opinion that there will be still further
advance. They base the prediction on
the short crop, continued unfavorable
weather, and the expected buying for
export to the allied countries.
