A YEAR OF POLITICS.
The action of the County Democratic
Executive Committee the other day
in calling a primary election for county
officers on Saturday, May, 7, has spurred
the candidates to renewed activity, and
from now until the election they will
keep the roads and by-ways pretty hot.
■The date fixed by the committee seems
to give general satisfaction, so far as
wo have heard.
Tho primary for members of the
Legislature and State House officers
cannot, under the new law, be held
earlier thun the first week in August.
Registration for both primarief wil
cIobc on April 5.
At the general election, which occurs
on Wednesday, Oct. 5, all officers of
the State, except members of Congress,
will bo chosen, including those officers
who serve tho State in county capaci
ties
The list further includes all State
House officers whose offices are not ap
pointive and whose terms expire regu
larly this year. These are tho Governor,
School Commissioner, Treasurer, Comp
troller-General, Commissioner of Agri
culture, Secretary of State, Attorney-
General, and Pension Commissioner.
Among the foregoing, the only incum
bent who has declared that he will not
run to succeed himself is Treasurer J.
Pope Brown. Mr. Brown was appoint
ed to fill the unexpired term of the late
Robert E. Pork, deceased. W. J. Speer
has annouuced himself a candidate for
nomination to that office, and Assistant
Treasurer B. F. Perry will doubtless
announce later. At this time Mr. Speer
is the only declared candidate for any
.State House office.
In addition to these, at least two Rail
road Commissioners will be chosen at
the elections this fall. Commissioner
O. B. Stevens’ full term of sjx years
expires on Dec. 1, and an incumbent for
the ensuing term of that length will be
elected. Commissioner Stevens will
probably be a candidate to succeed him
self. Commissioner C. Murphy Can
dler was appointed to tho vacancy loft
by tho resignation of former Commis
sioner Fuller E. Callaway, to serve till
the election. A successor in that office
will have to bo choBcn to servo till Dec.
1, when tho Callaway term expires; and
nn incumbent for the ensuing term af
ter Dec. 1 will also be olected.
The contingency of a third vacancy
binges on the decision of tho Supremo
Court in the McLendon quo warranto
proceedings. This decision is expected
soon. If tho contention of former
Chairman S. G. McLendon, dismissed
from office by Gov. Smith, is upheld and
he is reinstated, he will continue on the
term for which he was elected, and
which hns yet two years to run. If he
is not reinstated, a successor to the
present incumbent of tho McLendon
term, Joseph F. Gray, of Savannah,
will have to bo chosen to serve the rest
of that term.
One Judge of tho Court of Appeals is
to bo elected, the intermediate term of
Judge Arthur G. Powell expiring this
year. The court will, on Jan. 1, have
been in existence four years. Judge
Richard B. Russell, whose short term
expired at the last election, is now fill
ing his second term. Chief Judge
Hill’s long term will expire at the next
general election.
Two Justices of the Supreme Court
will be chosen this year. The term of
Chief-Justice W. H. Fish, of Americus,
who has been in office since 1896, will
expire, as will also thatof Justice Mar
cus W. Beck, of Griffin, who has served
since 1906. It iB understood that both
will be candidates for re-election to
terms of six years each.
In addition to all the foregoing, half
of the Superior Court Judges and half
of the Solicitors-General in the State
will have to be chosen anew this year,
for four-year terms.
No dato has yet been set for the State
primary. It will be fixed by the State
Democratic Executive Committee, of
which Hon. H. A. Hall is chairman. A
meeting of that committee for the pur
pose of fixing the primary dato has not
yet been called.
Only those who are qualified for the
general election can participate in the
primaries.
Communlcatod.
Hon. M. H. Couch Will Not Run for
Legislature.
Through the medium of The Enter-
priBe-Gazette, The Herald and Adver-
tisnr and Newnan News, our three
highly-prized county papers, allow me
to express my appreciation of the kind
words and solicitations of my numer
ous friends throughout the county to
again enter the race for Representative
of Coweta county. I deem it an honor
to represent so noted a county, and
have in the past, and will at the com
ing session, endeavor to represent the
true Bentiment of tho county, the indi
vidual and the State. While I consider
it an honor and a privilege to represent
so noted a county, I realize that there
are many ambitious and well-qualified
citizens advocating the same platform,
and who have at tho same time been so
loyal to me that I will not enter myself
a candidate in the coming primary.

LONE OAK.
The serious illness of Mr. Lewis
Prickett, mentioned in last week’s let
ter, terminated in his death Friday
night at the horns of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Prickett. For days his
recovery had been despaired of, in spite
of the efforts of the physicians, aided
by the sympathizing attentions of
neighbors and friends. It is sad to
think that death must come to one so
young, so light-hearted, so well-beloved
of his family and associates. Until
prostrated by a long and severe attack
of typhoid fever the past fall his stal
wart build and perfect health had
given promise of a long, useful and
happy life. Consequent upon that ill
ness was the affliction that brought td
him most intense suffering and blight
ed the hopes of his parents and friends.
Funeral services were conducted Sat
urday afternoon at Prospect church by
Rev. W. L. Rivers, and were attended
by a large congregation, whose every
countenance portrayed the sincerity of
their sympathy. The message brought
by tho pastor was most impressive, as
he stressed the truth drawn from his
text: “The time is short,” closing with
words of tender consolation to the be
reaved. The choir, led by Mrs. W. R.
Sewell, rendered sweet music. Lovely
floral tributes covered the casket. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. John Mar
shall, Otto Johnson, Early Johnson,
Eugene Latimer and Chas. Culpepper,
cousins of deceased. The interment
was in Prospect cemetery. Besides
his parents, Lewis is survived by three
sisters, Mcsdames Robt. Spence and
John Barnes, and Miss Mao Prickett,
of this place, and two brothers, Wey-
man Prickett, of Savannah, and San
ford Prickett, of Lone Oak.
Mr. Weyman Prickett, who came
Saturday to attend his brother’s funer
al, left yesterday for his home in Sa
vannah.
Miss Mae Prickett, who is attending
the State Nortnal School at Athens,
and who was called home by her broth
er’s illness, will return to Athens next
Mortduy.
Miss Ellis, principal of Lone Oak
School, accompanied by her friend and
pupil, Miss Mary Clyatt, • spent Satur
day and Sunday at Oakland.
Mrs. Feribee Culpepper, of Luther
ville, is spending this week with her
sister, Mrs. J. L. Prickett.
Mrs. J. F. Nall, who has been quite
Bick for several days, is much better.

Former Coweta Citizen Vice-President

Prof. M. L. Stallings, superintendent
of the Brady public schools, was on
Tuesday elected vice-president of the
Amicable Life Insurance Co., which
company was organized at Waco on
that date. The company will have $500,-
000 Capital stock and $500,000 surplus,
and the temporary trustees reported at
the meeting $414,000 cash in the bank,
which is being added to every day. The
