DEFINITE NEWS OF GOVERNOR. CHANGES IN OFFICE ORDINARY.
learned In Atlanta that He Came to
Americas.
An Atlanta special to the Savannah
News contains the startling informa
tion that Gov. Candler “has just re
turned to the capital from Americnp,
well and hearty, having had a good
time there.” This is the first authen
tic announcement that the governor
attended the Americas fair. It was
generally known that he had grateful
ly accepted an invitation to be here on
Friday last, and those who didn't
know the Governor very well even
went to the depot to meet him and,
farther, asked at the telegraph ofiioes
afterwards if he had condescended to
wire his excuses to the carnival com
mittee. But the Atlanta correspon
dent of the Savannah News lets the
cat oat of the bag and it seems that the
Governor was here incognito. Of
course one conld not attaoh this fact
with the identity of the “Wild Man"
exhibited here, or wonld think for a
moment that Uncle Allen had wrung
the lanreis from the classic brow of
Bosco, who "eats ’em alive.” Dear,
dear, dear; and the Governor was real
ly here and not a soul knew it.

ALL BUSINESS AT STANDSTILL.
Fearful Weather Puts a Quietus On
Trade.
Americus-has never known a more
beastly, miserable day than yesterday
proved. In fact, it was but a continua
tion of last week’s vile wither, and
since last Friday morning the rain has
ponred withont intermission. Proba
bly ten inebes of rain has fallen in that
time, six inches falling Sunday alone.
The whole earth is water-covered,
bridees are washed away, the roads
cut np and travel greatly impeded.
Merchants have done little business
this week, and trade yesterday was
completely at a standstill. From
weather standpoint the new centnry is
a peach—decidedly juicy.
Judge Allen Will Succeed Judge
Speer Today.
Among the changes brought about by
the county election was in the office of
ordinary, and this morning Judge
Thomas M. Allen succeeds the present
incumbent, Judge A C. Speer. Judge
Allen received bis commission from
Gov. Candler some tjme ago and has
long since made thereqnired bond and
took the oath of office prescribed.
Judge Speer retires to private life after
having been jndge of the conrt of ordi
nary for sixteen years. He was a faith
ful public officer, ever attentive to
duty, aud the people of Sumter but
voice tbe sentiments of the last grand
jury who, in making their present
ments, said of Jndgo Speer ‘‘well
done, thon good and faitbfnl servant.
Both Jndge Speer and his sncoess'or in
office, Jndge Allen, are old Confeder
ate soldiers, and the people of Sumter
honor themselves in honoring both in
this position of public trust.

Business.
Tbe firm of Johnson k Harrold, for
forty-one years one of tbe landmarks
in Americas and among the largest and
wealthiest in Georgia is this day dis<
solved, formal notice appearing else'
where. Bnt Americus is not to lose
this splendid house, for while a change
in name is to be made it is only for .the
purpose of infusing new blood into - it
as a glance at the names of the incor
porators of the new company will
show. Henceforth it will be a char,
tered institntion with a capital stock of
825,000 k’nd known as tbe Johnson k
Harrold Warehouse Company. No'

lished this morning.

GRIFFIN’S LOSS QUITE SEVERE
Little Insurance Upon The Cotton
Burned.
Eight hnndred bales of cotton were
burned in the recent warehouse fire at
Griffin. The principal loss falls upon
nnmber of farmers who were holding
their cotton for higher prices, very few
carrying any insurance. One young
farmer lost fifty-three bales, repre
senting the savings of years. A wom
an, who bad lost sixteen bales, threat
ened to do the superintendent of the
warebonse bodily barm nnless he paid
her for her cotton.

Yesterday’s ootton market, the first

tone and rnled 19 points higher that at
the last close. May contracts, whieh
closed at 9:37 Monday, advanced to
9:54 yesterday while March went to
9:01 and January to 9:80. The market
is very steady and a mnob higher range
of prices is expected by local dealers.
Scarcely a dozen bales were sold in
tne Amencns market yesterday, hold
ers preferring to await better prices.
When threatened by pneumonia or
any other lung trouble, prompt relief la
