Enjoyable Event at Roberts
Residence.
The Americus Light Infantry, toge
ther with all the military of the
State, may go to encampment this
summer, either at Chlckamauga Park
-or Fort Screven, as arrangements to
that end are now being worked out
by the military: authorities of the
State, and an early decision Is ex-
’ pected.
The War Department has notified
the Governor that It would pay the
expenses of one regiment of Infantry
from this Btate to the war maneuvers
thl ssummer at Chlckamauga.
Gov. Smith favors the plan of send
ing all troops to Chlckamauga, ex
cepting those which have been as
signed to Fort Screven, and will take
up the matter with the War Depart
ment with a view to making arrange
ments to that end.
Of course troops sent into camp at
Chlckamauga in excess of the regi
ment of infantry designated by the
War Department will have to got at
the expense of the state. It Is stated,
that the military fund la sufficient
to pay this expense.
There Is Interest among the militia
as to the dates of Inspection for
1908, and inquiry from several sec
tions has been made at the Adjutant
General's office. 1 '
It will be ten days and perhaps two
weeks before It will be possible to

Voters to Select County
Commissioners.
When Sumter's primary for county
officers, city court judge, city court
solicitor and members of the Iegisla
ture Is held in the early spring, as
will doubtless be done, the voters wJU
select a full board of five county com
missioners as well.
And no other feature of the election
will be regarded with more gemilne
interest than this one.
Elected in 1894 for a term of four
years, dating from January 1st, 1905,
the terms of office of all the present
commissioners expire at the same
date, January 1st, next.
The board, as now constituted, con
sists of Messrs. A. T. Johnson, W. L.
Thomas, N. A. Ray, R. M. Andrews
and J. L. Chambliss. They have ren
dered efficient service, and some of
them will doubtless offer for re-elec
tion at the forthcoming primary. ^
Other members of the board, It is
understood, will not offer again for
the place at this time.
Since the present board was Install
ed in office the position of county
commissioner has been made a salar
ied one, although the pay is hardly
commensurate with the rather oner
ous duties of the position.
The office Is a highly responsible
one, and doubtless many good names
will be suggested for x any vacancies
which may occur. •
The call of Chairman J. E. Sheppard
for a meeting of the county democratic
executive committee on February 8th,
for the purpose of fixing the date of
county primary, has already aroused
considerable interest in politics here
generally.
Aand the desire of all citizens, It
seems, Is for an early primary—some
date within the next two months—in
order that this much of politics may
be disposed of.
Fo rthere are other elections to be
held—many of them—and'the cohnty
primary should be disposed of as soon
as it can be done.
For there are other elections to be
of the present corpB of county officers
will have any opposition. All are
very capable and efficient and popular
as well, and the general opinion is
that they will be re-elected, and un
opposed.
Few counties in Georgia have such
a corps of officials. No county has
a better one.
An interesting thing about-kissing
a girl in the dark is how many times
you have to do it to find her lips.—
