CITY PRIMARY DRAWS NEARER
And Issue Between Aspirants Will
Be Settled.
The near approach of the city elec
tion causes renewed interest in that
direction and the popular query one
still hears is “who’s going to be elected
mayor and aidermen?”
But as nobody knows, the question
remains unanswered.
Four aspirants for the mayoralty
keeps interest at a high pitch, and as
all the candidates are well known citi
zens and “in to the finish” the battle
of ballots will be spirited.
But at the same time attention is di
rected towards the aldermanic camp,
where surprises in the way of an
nouncements are expected.
Two candidates for this office have
announced, but there are others.
One who professes to have “a lead
pipe cinch” on the situation declares
that at least six good and true citizens
will be in the aldermanic race when the
gong sounds.
At the recent meeting of the city ex
ecutive committee, held for the pur
pose of fixing the date of the primary,
it was likewise determined who the eli
gible voters on 22nd might be.
All known democrats who have here
tofore affiliated with the party, and
who have paid their taxes for last year,
may vote.
The payment of city taxes for this
year is not required.
There are a dozen or fifteen colored
citizens, lifelong democrats, who have
always voted in city democratic prima
ries, and these will be allowed to vote
this year as usual.
And until the polls close on Thurs
day, 22nd inst., the race is going to be
lively.
AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE.
To make it apparent to thousands
who think themselves ill, that they are
not afflicted wiih any disease, but tnat
the system simply needs cleansing, is
to bring comfort home to their hearts,
as a costive condition is easily cured by
using Syrup of Figs. Manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and
sold by all druggists.
REDUCED RATE FOR VETERANS

The kidneys are small but important
organs. They need help occasionally.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a successful
kidney tonic and system regulator. Dr.
E. J. Elaridge.
TAX RECEIPTS MUCH HEAVIER.
Double m Volume Receipts of a Year
Ago.
While not exactly rushed with busi
ness, Tax Collector Dunn said yester
day.that the inflow of coin was much
greater than at this date last year,
which is proof of the fact that good
prices for cotton help all around. Du
ring September ana October the cash
receipts were twice as great as for the
corresponding months last year, and
he expects continued improvement un
til the books close in December.

COTTON HOLDS LAST ADVANCE.
Better Prices Looked For at Early
Date.
The cotton market held yesterday
the advance made during the past two
days, and even better quotations are
looked for this week. The frost scare,
while general over the southeast, did
not reach Texas to any considerable
extent yesterday, and Texas remains
the rock of safety for the “bear” ele
ment in the struggle for lower prices.
Receipts at the Americus warehouses
yesterday were a little better than
usual and numerous sales were made
about the nine cent notch. Farmers
are still disposed to be “bullish,”
however, and a majority of those who
have cotton are going to swing to it
until the tide turns their way.
Prevented a Tragedy.
Timely information given Mrs. Geo.
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre
vented a dreadful tragedy and saved two
lives. A frightful cough had long kept
her awake every night. She had tried
many remedies aud doctors but steadily
grew worse uutil urged to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery. One bottle wholly cur
ed her, and she writes this marvelous
medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit of
this grand remedy for curing all throat,
chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and
$1 00. Every bottle guaranteed. Trial
bottles free at E. J. Eldridge, drugstore
A PLEASING PLAY IS PROMISED.
In Presentation of Ten Nights In A
Barroom Tuesday.
Americus theatre-goers who have
never witnessed the celebrated drama
“Ten Nights In a Barroom” should
see it Tuesday night, and even those
who may have witnessed it in years
past will appreciate it the more as pre
sented by Palmer’s great company.
It depicts real life most vividly, and is
strongly endorsed by many’of the lead
ing ministers of the country and the
press everywhere. There are many
bright specialties, and altogether the
play is certain to please the large au
dience that will doubtless see it Tues
day night. The sale of reserved seats
begins Monday morning at Hudson’s
drugstore.
