Tarty Primery for Ware.
If present plans and intentions
of Ware county Democrats hold
good, one of the earliest primaries
in the history of the county may
be held. Nearly all candidates are
in favor of an early primary, and
efforts are now being made to have
the date for the approaching one
fixed for early in March, and cer¬
tainly not later than like 27th of
that month. It is believed this
arrangement will prove satisfact-

Governrt - Out of Senate Race.
Governor Smith, prior To
departure for Washington Tues-
dav, J gave fe out si statement to the
effect tlnti , , he will ... not this
year
be caadidaie .., for . the , United ,
a
States senate, but will go before
the people in the coming primary
as a candidate to succeed himself
as governor.
That it is Governor Smith’s
ambition to go to the senate, that
he had the race under considera¬
tion and that, until recently he
expected to be a candidate for that
office, his public announcement
leaves no question.
Governor Smith’s decision

LOOSE COINS IN THE
RURAL DELIVERY BOXES
f -
Postmaster Crews at Stockton
desires to ca’l attention to the
practice of some patrons of rural
delivery of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they
to dispatch letters instead of sup-
pling themselves with postage
advance < ( B-fir n«eds.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes
and . delays , , them ., the • oI ,■
on service
their , . routes.
The postmaster, therefore, nr-
gently requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide themselves
and keep on hand a supply of
stamps consistent with and in ad-
vance of their needs. It is also
very desirable that rural
place in their mail boxes
detachable cups of wood or tin in
which to place coins, when neees-
j sitry, in purchasing supplies of
stamps.
