THE AMEBIC US WEEKLY TIMK8-REC0RDER: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1902.
WETTEROTH WOULD
BE POSTMASTER
Triends Here are Working
For Him.
.AND PETITION IS CIRCULATED.
t Created a Little Surprlae a* It Wa.
Generally Believed the Matter Was
Practically Settled. Mr. Wetteroth
a Former Resident.
Benewed interest was given the
poatmastership matter m Americas
yesteiday in the circulation of a peti
tition asking the appointment of Mr,
Henry Wetteroth, for several years
wellknown .'and popular citizen
Americas, bat who for a year or two
past has resided in New Jersey. From
this action nron the part of his friends
here it is presnmed^that Mr. Wetter
oth is an applicant for the vacancy
created by the demise of Postmaster
Smith two months ago. The appoint
ment has been “hanging fire” for some
time, doubtless doe to the pressure
other business on the part of the Presi
dent. It was Jknown that Assistant
Postmaster Mitchell had the strongest
indorsements possible for the office,
and it was generally supposed that the
appointment would be given him
onetime. And this [may still bo the
result, though it is not known what
efieot this latest entry may have upon
the situation, if any. There were
many signatnres attached to the peti
tion yesterday asking the appointment
of Mr. Wetteroth,

ABLE THE MESSAGE
SENTTO SOLONS,
Final Message of Governor
Candler.
PENSIONS TO DESERVING ONLY
Favors Taxing ;AII Franchises, and
Wants a Now Constitution For the
State—A Brief Synopays of the Gov
ernor's Messago.
THE CITY IS GOING
TO HAVEHOT TIME
In Contest [For Offices
November.
FULL RACE TRACK OF RUNNERS
A synopsis of the lengthy bnt very
able message of Governor Candler,
transmitted to the Legislature, is here
in given and covers all points of inter
est It was the governor's last letter,
and a Tery[able state paper.
The state is congratulated upon the
absence of scourge and pestilence and
upon the fact that money for legiti
mate enterprises has been abundant.
There have|been no labor troubles and
the volume [of [property returned for
tixation has increased.
The state debt is being (reduced and
state institutions ue in good shape.
The borrowing of money to pay
aebool tcachersjjand new pensioners
alone keptlthe [receipts for the year
from going ahead of the state’s expen
ditures.
All appropriations made by the last
legialatnre have been met and the
state tax rate has been[decreased.[
The eolleges>nd institutions to which
the state contributes its shue for their
support ue in splendid shape.
The soldiers’ home, which waB burn
ed, has been rebuilt, and is again oc
cupied by the needy yeterans.
UThe pension roll of the state the
governor considers Jtoo large. There
ue many on the roll who should not
be there.
The disposition of misdemeanor con
victs nnder the present law Governor
Candler [thinks is satisfactory. The
farming ont process indulged in by
some of the counties,[he says, is done
only by an unwarranted stretch of the
law.
He suggests a remedy for this evil at
considerable length, [calling, among
other reforms, for the abolition of the
fee system of paying judges and soli
citors.
The faots leading np to the failure to
build [a union depot in Atlanta are
given.
Tbe urgent need of an inebriate asy
lum and ,a juvenile reform school in
the state is called[attentlon to.
A constitutional convention is nrged
so that the constitution can be changed
to restrict the" eleetive franchise, con
trol the trusts,[and a better and safer
method of eeleotlng judicial officers be
devised.
The taxation of railroad property in
the state so [that all companies will
beu their fall value of taxation Is nrg
ed. “The[taxatlon of railroad [ pro
perty in different classes Is deplored.
Tbe taxation should be as a unit and
tbe property should not be divided and
eepuately given in to the authorities.
The taxation of franchises is strong
ly recommended. The governor can
eee no reuon why the owners of vain
able [franchises should not pay for
them.
The preservation of the state reeorde
asked, and it is suggested that the
state make an[exhlbit atthe St. Louis
exposition.
For Every Office From Mayor to City
Clerk There Will Be a Full Field
Campaign of One Month Will Brittle
With Incidents.
Out of Death’s Jaws,
“When death seemed very near from
severe stomach and liver trouble, that
I suffered with for years," writes F,
Muse, Durham, N, C., “Dr. King’s
New Life Pills saved my life and gave
perfect health.” Beat pills on earth

If any citizen of Americas is seeking
a quiet place in which to spend the
month of November he bad better get
him henee by any “official” or unoffi
cial ronte leading ont of town. For
there’s going to L>e a hot time here for
thirty days beginnirg with the very
first one.
In fact, Americas is going to bristle
with incidents for a time.
There will Le various events upon
that calendar, but the politioal eiroua
already on deek is going to rival the
real article here Saturday, or any at
traction of the carnival.
Americus is going to have a munici
pal primary on November 25tb, and
already the boys are gettiog in line
either as candidates or coachers for
those who will do the real rnnning.
And as a political sprinting mateh a real
daisy is promised.
A mayor, three aldermen and eity
olerk are to be eleoted.
So far three aspirants for tbe clerk
ship,’ Messrs. T. N. Hawker, J. M.
McGsrrahand E. J. MoMath are

Mayor Felder will, qnite likely, be a
candidate to succeed himself. Among
tbe names of others mentioned are
those of Messrs. E. A. Hawkins end
J, Hanetly, tbongh neither of the
threffhave anthorizod the nse [of their
names or slated that they would be
candidates.
Either of tbe three would have
strong following of voters.
Little has been said as yet of the al
dermanie race, Messrs. Glover, Fort

succeed themselves. The names
Messrs. Elton 0. Parker. E. B. Ever

The primary will be participated is
by white demoorata only, and white
men will deoide It.
