Wholesale and Retail. 314 to 326 Fifth Ave., ROME, GA. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS. SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 21, 1896 IT IS INTERESTING. Several Announced Candidates For the Supreme Court. The race for the supreme court grows more interesting as the days pass. Judge Branham, as has been told in the Tribune, is in the front rank and it seems a certainty that he will go in. Up to date the following are an nounced candidates for the four vacancies on the supreme court bench: Hon. Samuel Lumpkin . Hou. W. A. Little. Hon. Joel Branham. Hon, George F. Gober. Hon. William D. Kiddoo. Hon. John H. Martin. The last named, Hon. J. 11. Mar tin, of Pulaski, has been requested by the bar of his circuit and many friends throughout the state to make the race and has con sented. The bar of Cobb county met in mass meeting Saturday and passed commendatory resolutions of Judge George F. Gober, and re quested that he make the race for one of the vacancies. At the conclusion of the meeting Judge Gober was asked if he would make the race. He replied: “Yes, I will be a candidate.” As the candidates develop it is evident that the election will arouse unusual interest among the people. The fact that the people are to do the voting causes them to scrutinize closely the candi dates and their methods of nomi nation . Until the state committee meets the exact methods of selecting the candidates will not, of course, be determined, but it is very gener ally accepted that a primary will be called for in order that the freest and fullest expression of public sentiment can be best ob tained. Just how the primary is to be governed is a matter of much speculation. There are some who claim that as the election is to be governed by the people that a white democratic primary should be called for the same day throughout the state. That the names of all the candidates be printed on the ticket, and the vo ter to scratch all but the four men for whom he desires to vote. That the state committee consolidate the returns and that the four high est in the total vote be declared the nominees of the party. This would do away with the delega tion feature and there would be no necessity for a state conven tion. In opposition to this plan is the statement that the populists could go into the primary and materiaFy affect the result and that besides violating the precedents of the party it would give to the larger counties like Fulton, Chatham, ; Richmond and others more advau i tage and prominence than they | are entitled to under the system of state representation. The other plan adduced for a primary is that put in vogue on the 6th of June last. That dele gations announce themselves for the various candidates and be voted for on the same day. Then to meet in a state convention with i the instructions thus given and nominate the four candidates. In opposition to this plan it is urged that the convention might be small and be not considered representative by the people, and that if such were the case especi ally if any number of counties sent uninstructed delegations, there might be manipulation or the charge of it.

The next year will be scarce in elections so far as can be seen, and unless the registration law is amen ded we may lose the only one in sight, which should come on the first Saturday in January. Accord- I iug to the law, every voter in any election must register in the same year as the election is held and j twenty days before such election. As the first Saturday in January generally comes before the twenty first of the month, and in fact does come this time on the second day of the month, compliance with the law will be difficult if not impossi ble and the present justices may hold over another year unless the coming legislature shall take some, action, __ The Cullman Gazette lets up on politics long enough to call atten- j ■ tion to the following: “About a I year ago a young lady at Cleveland j Tenn., got a needle imbedded in her waist.

Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY rube b ) THREE_MURDERED. Horrible Tragedy Occurred in Columbus Yesterday, 1 Columbus, Ga., Oct. 15. —Officers Richard M. Adams and William Jackson of the city police depart ment were cruelly murdered here 1 today by J. A. White, an ex-police man and shoemaker, and his son, Henry White. The murder was committed without provocation and was brought about by the elder White having been served with a subpoena to appear in court to morrow. This fact alone has caused many threats of lynching, and before to morrow’s sun the angry mob who are in possession of the streets, will have doubtless carried out their purpose. After the Whites had murdered the officers they went immediately to their homes and barred the doors, and defied arrest. Officer Charles Roberts went to the house and commanded them to surrender and was answered by a shot from the inside, and a bullet plowed its way through his body and he sank mortally wound ed in front of the door. This infuriated the citizens and instantly a mob was organized who started to White’s home to take them dead or aliive. However, Officer Jackson, of Gi rard, in company with six other brave officers, preceded the mob and bursted the doors of White’s residence, and entered. White immediately opened fire, but the officers were too quick for him and a well aimed bullet from a Winchester rifle sent him to his ; knees. He still continued to fire and wounded officer Zeno Pickett in the thigh before the other officers succeeded in killing him. While the officers were trying to effect the capture of the elder, I White, the son, escaped by a back door and succeeded in crossing the Chattahoochee river and landing himself an the Alabama side. He was pursued by a posse and captured by officers Osborne and Threlkeld and brought to the city and lodged in jail. Rheumatism is a foe which gives no quarter.

Tom Watson’s personal representa tive in the national populist com mittee in session at Chicago, wires as follows: “In reply to your telegram, Mr. Watson will never be satisfied that the fusion policy is the correct one, as he has repeatedly expressed j himself, and several members of the national committee agree with him. The committee concluded : it was too late to consider another • plan, and do not intend to be field j ■ responsible in case a reform presi- ■ dent should not be elected. “I do not anticipate any friction between the committee and candi dates.’’ Heusler’s Wound Was Fatal, Villa Rica, Ga , October 14.

Annapolis, Md., Apr. 16,1894. — I have used Chamberlain’s Pain Balm for rheumatism and found it to be all that is claimed for it. I believe it to be the best prepara tion for rheumatism and deep seated muscular pains on the mar ket and cheerfully recommend it to the public. J no. G. Brooks, dealer in boots, shoes, etc., No. 18 Main St. An Atlanta farmer has been of fered the enormous sum of SIB,OOO for seed from one crop ofjjotton. The seed are the only ones of the kind in the world and there are only twenty bushels of them. The pecularities of this cotton is that it is leafless and the stalks grow to a height of twenty feet and have from fifty to sixty-five bowls on each stalk, and the cotton is of the very finest quality—as good as the long staple variety.

Peak, a deacon in the first Baptist church of Chattanoo ga, the largest and most fashion able church in the city, was ex pelled from membership last Tues day night for remarrying, while his divorced wife is still living.
