Women’s Chemise.
That Amerlcus people are not
talking polities at all is a bit sur
prising in view of the fact that the
agitation has started in other coun
ties and the political pot has reached
the boiling j»oint. But the candidate
has not developed here.
This Is to be a year of general elec
tions, from the highest to the humb
lest Job, and ere long there will
doubtless be plenty doing.
In national, state, city and county
politics the bee will buzz. *
Aside from State affairs. Sumter
will elect all county officers this
year; members of the legislature, the
Judiciary, solicitor-general, and even
to Justices of the peace, and there
will be Just a few candidates out for
all the places.
And the general desire seems to be
for an earlv primary, that we may
get through with as much of the task
as possible before summer. For
more than one primary will be held.
And the sooner the excitement Is over
with the better. , ,
Doughertv county, Sumter s neigh
bor on the south, will nominate all
of her county officers on January 30th
—two weeks hence.
I-oral conditions rendered the selec
tion of such an unusually early date
necessary, and while Dougherty will
go at it alone at that time the pace
thus set will be followed by others.
Besides the county primary, Amerl
cus will have another election later
In the year for mayor, three alder
men, clerk and treasurer. Altogether
It Is going to be the busiest year In
politics since the Inst presidential
election In 1004—four years ago.
And the able voter will work over
time In getting to the polls and whoop
ing up the bunch of runnerB.
