Col. L. W. Rigsby on last Tues day resigned the office of Survey, or to take effect immediately. |Col. Rigsby has been holding this bffice for the past few years and has given., entire satisfaction. On account of sickness in his family which require his constant attention he deemed it best to esignand let the authorities ap- >oint some one who could devote Wore time to the duties of the bffice. • Col. Rigsby addressed the fol lowing letter to the Governor: "I beg to tender you my re signation as Coun y Surveyor of this, Grady county, to take ef fect immediately. The health of my family is such, that they need my constant attention and to fill my duties as surveyor I would necessarily be forced to be away much of the time. I feel that proper autho rities can appoint another sur veyor who will perform the du ties of the office as well as I but no other person can fulfill my obligations to my family- *‘I therefore tender this my re signation as County Surveyor of Grady County. -This, Aug. 18, 1914. “L.

STATE ELECTION Under a law passed by the last General Assembly and sighed Monday by the Governor, there will be no regular State election in October this year, as has been the custom for nearly 40 years. Under the new law, the State and Federal elections have been combined, to take place on the date of the Federal elections which occurs on the first Tuesday in November. All the candidates nominated in Wednesday’s primary and all constitutional amendments pro posed will be voted for in Nov ember. It is estimated that this change will save the people about $70,000 every election year. Not since the present Consti tution was adopted in 1877 has a regular State election been held at any time except upon the first Tuesday in October. The new law is.a code amend ment, as the Constitution merely says that State elections shall take place on the first Tuesday in October, “unless the date shall be changed “by Legislative enact ment.” City Court Jurors Jury drawn July 21st to serve at the regular October term on the 3rd Monday in October 1914 .

Downing, who has charge of the Pig Clubs in Geor gia, has recently given out the statement that Grady county in the front ranks in pig club work in Georgia and all Grady county is gratified over this show ing. Much of the credit for this work is due Mr. P. H. Ward who is in charge of the Farm Up to the time of going to press returns had been received from 90 out of 148 counties. For Governor Harris had carried 50 counties, Hardman 36 and Anderson 4, Harris’ delegatestrength in the convention at that hour was 12$ and Hardman’s 88. For short term Senator, Slaton had carried 28 counties with a delegate strength of 78; Felder 27 counties with 62 delegates and Hardwick 29 counties with 72 delegates. For the long term, Hoke Smith had carried every county ex cept eight. Joe Brown had carried seven and Hutchens one. In the congressional contests Edwards won in the First Dis trict, Walker in Eleventh, Hughes in Third, Vinson in Tenth, • Adamson in Fourth and Bell in the Ninth. Because of the length of the ballot and the unusually heavy vote, returns from the more remote precincts were greatly delay ed. Action by tjieprimary is equivalent to election. The most surprising feature of the situation is the remarkable strength shown by T. S. Felder. Another surprise is the strength shown by Dr. L. G. Hardman in the Governor’s race. Hardman is a close second to Judge Nat E, Harris. J. Randolph Anderson appears to have carried com- partively few counties. Hoke Smith is a certainty. Hoke Smith and Hardwick both carried McDuffie, Tom Watson’s home epunty. Incomplete returns indicate the nomination of Commissioner of Commissioner of Agriculture J. D. Price to succeed himself, over J. J. Brown. The race is a close one, but returns indicate Mr. Price’s success. Every indication points to the nomination of Clifford Walker of Monroe for attorney general over Warren Grice, incumbent, although Mr. Grice has carried a large number of Counties and will rpake a good showing. The early returns insure the nomination of Prison Commission er E. L- Rainey over his two opponents, and strongly indicate that Railroad Commissioner Paul B. Trammell will succeed himself. For state.treasurer W. J. Speer, the incumbent, is leading al l over the state over his opponent, Lem Park. All returns indicate Mr. Speer will be an easy winner, There is, of course, no question about the nomination of Comp troller General W. A. Wright and State School Superintendent M. L. Brittain. Early returns indicate that these two officials will lose comparatively few if any counties. Judge Nash Broyles is an easy winner for the Court of Ap peals. : > Demonstration work in . this county, and Who has worked very hard along this line, Mr. Ward is'planning to get up a pig, corn and canning club show- in Cairo sometime during October and he wants' to have a large crowd in attendance to show what the boys and girls of the county are doing in agricultural development. He thinks that if the farmers would grow more hogs, cows and colts there would be no need to'dread the war in Europe or the financial cfisTs whieh now confronts the country, TO MY FRIENDS IN GRADY COUNTY: 1 desire to return my thanks to my friends and all the peo ple who gave-me their support in the Primary of the 19th inst. I shall endeavor to carry out every pre election promise made to you. Further I want to thank my opponents for the clean and gentlemanly manner in which they conducted their campaigns and assure them that I have nothing but the kindest feelings of friend- iliip for them'. - ^™ W .TB®EE.
