County Politics Getting Warm in Schley

Ellaville, Ga., Feb. 20 – The political situation in Schley has developed into 
a lively and actual campaign just within the last days.  On last Saturday the 
county executive committee met and called the primary for county of officers to 
be held on March 22, this of course, causing almost a spontaneous uprisal of 
the various aspirants for county honors, due to the fact that there will be 
left only about thirty days for campaigning.

It is generally conceded that the present representative, J.T. Royal, will 
stand for re-election, and will be opposed by C.R. McCrary; ex-representative, 
E.B. Barrow is a candidate for re-election for ordinary; M.D. Herring will 
stand for re-election to the clerk’s office and will in all probability have 
opposition for the place in the person of J.M. Murray, an ex-clerk; W.W. 
Lumpkin, the present sheriff, will have opposition.  G.N. Jordan will make the 
race against him.  J.H. Holloway and A.S. Rainey will opposed each other for 
the office of tax receiver.  J.B. Smith will likely be re-elected to the office 
of tax collector without opposition.  There will also be a goodly number of 
candidates for the office of county commissioner.
