date of the state primary for the nomi
nation of governor, statebouse officers,
two members of the supreme bench
and members of the general assembly.
There was a large attendance of mem

Chairman F. G. dnUignon resigned,
and Hon. E, T. Drown was elected

BAPTISTS COMING TO AMERICUS
Next Session of State Convention Held
Here.
The announcement yesterday that
the next annual session of the Georgia
Baptist Convention wonld be held in
Americua was received with a great
deal of pleasure by the people of
Americas generally. Both Macon and
Americns extended invitations to the
Convention, now in annnal session
Borne, and onrs was accepted. It has
been many years since the Baptists of
Georgia met here in annual convcn
tion, and a great welcome will be ex
tended that representative body when
it meets here in April next year. The

landmarks in Drug Business
at Front.
The people of Southwest Georgia are
gratified at the statement that the Eh
dridge drug stores, for nearly a half
century among the landmarks of Am-
eriena, will oontinne business as here
tofore with the same very effioient
force of pharmacists and aaleamen to
eoaduet its extensive business. Mr.
G. Morgan Eldridge will anoceed his
father, the late Dr. E,. J, Eldridge, as
the bead of this enterprise. The El
dridge drugstores have an advertise
ment elsewhere today to whiob special
attention la oalled.
SHERIFF BELL IB A CANDIDATE.
Por Position He Hat Filled 8o Satia
factorily.
The announcement of Sheriff E. L.
Bell for re-eleetion to the offioe be
now fills wilh sneh general and entire
aatiafaction to the people of Sumter
will be hailed with pleasure by his
friends over the eonnty. No county
official in the state, perhaps, discharg
es more satisfactorily the duties of
hie offioe than Sheriff Bell aud his
equally popular and efficient depnty,
Dudley Gatewood. It is a most ex
cellent team, and one about which the
waters of Sumter will be glad to rally.
Council
If the city council can extend for
year or two longer tbe work of re
trenchment so effectively begun, not
ODly will our little floating debt of
$7,000 be entirely wiped ont but there
will be money in the trcaanry as well;
an end devoutly to be desired.
A floating debt of $7,000 is very-
trilling, bnt it is against ns.
This “floating" debt was incurred,
very largely, in securing to Americos
the splendid shops of the Seaboard
Railway several years ago, the finest
investment the city ever made, as all
will agree. The prevalence of a eon
tagions disease here three years ago
served to increase this debt.
Tberefore.it was “extraordinary" ex
penses that created the floating debt.
If Amerious could colleet today all
tbe outstanding taxes due it wonld
pay every cent she owes. And tbis is
going to be done.
This indebtedness, a year or two
ago, amonnted to about $21,000, but
two-thirds of it has been paid oil, and
Futures
With a negro as his traveling com
panion to tbe chaingaog Ornn New
ton, a white boy of fifteen, who drift
ed to Americns some time since, was
sent to Bain bridge camp yesterday to
serve a term of ten months for stealing
lead pipes, etc. from closets.
Newton pleaded guilty to the charge
when tried a few days ago
Ho did not appear to be greatly cx
ercised at the prospect of doing a term
ia the pen, though it is not to bo sup
posed that his morals will be improv
ed any while there.
The negro sent to the gang with
yonng Newton was Bill Brown, who
swiped a bit of bacon from a grocery
store. Both the negro and white boy,
who are about tbe same age, will do a
a term of ten months. They were in
charge of an officer of tbe camp.
It is not often that a white lad ge'a
in euch a scrape here.
MR. OLIVER IS AGAIN ELECTED.
Council is anxioas to cancel the bal
auce as soon as possible,
It is a'small amonnt, comparatively-
speaking. Many business mon in
Georgia, in the general condnot of
their affairs, owe $7,000, while other
cities the size of Americas owe a great
deal more in the way of a “floa'ing
debt.” It will be easy to pay it.
And to this end Conncil ia entting
down eity expenses galore.
The retrenchment knife has been
wielded to some extent already, with
the result that a saving of $4,000 tbis
year is assured.
In the police department $2,100 has
been ent off, and without affecting se
riously the efficiency of the service.
Oar eleetrie lights cost $000 less this
year than in years past, and still wo
“walk in the light." In the water
works and fire departments a saving
of $1,000 is effected.
There was a entting of several sal
aries ofoffioials and employes.
The “watchdogs of the treasury’
still figure upon farther curtailment of
expenditures, and if their plans are
pnt in foree Americns, in two years,
will not owe a dollar beyond her small
bonded indebtedness; there will bo
cash in the till and taxeB lowered.
Amotions, financially, is in excellent
oondition. Few cities in Georgia can
make such a showing from tbe dollar
standpoint.
