Mr. W. G. West this week sold
a halt interest in bis mercantile
bu-iuess to Mr. W- M. Snellgrove,
.of Albany. The deal was cou
this daee the business will be con¬
ducted under the new name.
Mr. West has been conducting a
gents furnishing store on Railroad
street for several years, and has
beeu considered among the city’s
substantual merchants, enjoying a
large share of patronage from the
public.
Mr. Suellgrove needs no intro¬
duction to the people of Pelham,
having worked for the First Nat¬
ional Bauk of this city for several
months during the war, and while
here made many warm friends who
will join us in welcoming him back
to the city. He will be in active
charge of the business at present,

MEN’S BIBLE CLASS
Last Sunday was Roll Call day
in the Meu’s Bible class of the
First Baptist church, there being
101 men present. Great enthusi¬
asm was manifested. Mr, Dave
Alligood was preseut from Mari
anna, Fla., and made a spleudid
short address to the men. We are
always happy to see old Alligood
in our crowd.
Prof. Lanier, formerly of How¬
ard College, Birmingham, but now
of Kansas City, Mo., was also a
visitor, and made a splendid
speech which was enjoyed by all
the men present.
The singing was inspirational,
and the fellowship was delightful.
The teacher aud pastor of the class
spoke ou ‘‘Things Worth Living
For, are Worth Dying For.” A
message that will be remembered
by the large clgss who heard it.
Following the class exercises, the
men marched to the church in a
body. It was estimated there were
over three hundred in the congre
gation Sunday morning At this
service the pastor spoke on the
“Reigning Life.” We are all
proud of the old Bible class, and
its history. May it continue to
abide in the life and program of
the First Baptist church. The
good it has doue cau never be for¬
gotten.

As result of Charges that fraud
was practiced iu the county pri¬
mary electiou held ou March 4th,
last, the grand jury sitting at the
adjourned term of the superior
court, which convened Monday,
ask for and secured permission
of the court to make a thorough
investigation of the charges and
to make a complete recount of the
vote cast in the primary. The
charge of fraud was made by Mr
J. F- Hooks, who was a candidate
for re-election to the office of clerk
of superior court and who was de
feated by Mr. 0- G. Swindle by a
majority of 196 votes,, according
to the consolidated returns iu the
county primary. The returns in
the primary showed that Hooks
received 29 votes iu the Twelfth

regularities in that district, Mr,
Hooks secured affidavit- or state
meuts from more than fifty people
in the Twelfth district who declar
ed they voted for him in the pri¬
mary. This information was turn¬
ed over to the graud jury at the
April term aud an investigation
was started which resulted in the
fiuding of true bills against G. W.
Galloway, justice of the peace of
fhat district aud one of the mana¬
gers of the election.
In presenting the result of the
recount the grand jury said in the
presentments that in all districts
except oue the election appears to
have been conducted carefully and
iu a legal manner.
The grand jury recount made no
change iu the result in any of the
offices voted upon.

Twelfth district as consolidated by
the Democratic Executive Com¬
mittee and by the grand jury.

columns and in the next two col¬
umns is the total vote iu the coun¬
