Icpfi'il—How tin* Itesiilt roots I p—Filin Lead
ing Clements for Comrress,
Tuesday wus considered the real opening day !
..f the gubernatorial fight. The fact that si vend
uaintieH had decided upon tii it day foy the selec-
<.f delegates gave it the signilicayce.
Yesterday morning the Rnquikisr-Sux gave the
information that out of twenty votes Genera.
( 1))ri lon secured sixteen to Major Bacon’s four.
The additional information received since then
indicates thut General Gordon scored advantages
other counties that are liable to pan out well
in the convention. In referring to the actuui
vote, die Constitution says:
••The result shows that they got 1(5 votes to
bacon 's 1. or just four to one. In most of the
roiinties Gordon’s majority was overwhelming.
In Lumpkin Hon. W. P. Price, who ran is a Bu
cui delegate, was beaten live to one. In Polk
••the majority was so overwhelming that the vote
v.as not counted.” In Murray it was over live to
line. In Forsyth, which was counted absolutely
... a* i,.r Bacon until the vote was polled, Gordon's
vote was two to one. In Carroll it was overwhelm-
jug. in Gordon he had a hundred majority. In
Dooley, which his most sanguine friends set
down as “impossible,” he had a small majority,
lie carried seven counties while Bacon carried
two."
DOOLY.
The result of the elections in the various coun
ties selecting delegates bear out the truth of this
statement. The closest shave for tJordon was in
Booty county, where the vote stood Gordon 127
and Bacon 121. Dooly county also endorsed
Crisp for congress.
GORDON.
In (Jordon county Gordon received 210 and
Bacon 119. The congressional race was also hot
ly contested in Gordon and resulted in 202 votes
for Fain and 101 for Clements, the present incum
bent.
CARROLL.
Gordon delegates were overwhelmingly elected
in a mass meeting in Carroll county. The Gor
don men claim that it was fair and square, but
the Bacon men entertain a very different opin
ion. They say that “every Gordon man in the
county was notified to be present by the Gordon
club, ostensibly to prevent Bacon men from cap
turing the court house, the Gordon leaders mean
while assuring Bacon’s fYiends that they wanted
primaries. In the meeting the Gordon men un
expectedly demanded an election of delegates at
once. The Bacon men, reminding them of their
promise, begged for a primary but were insolent
ly refused, when a farce of an election took
place.”
FORSYTH.
There was considerable enthusiasm in Forsyth
county, and resulted in the choice of Gordon del
egates by a vote of iy3 for Gordon against 108 foi
Bacon.
POLK.
In Polk county Gordon delegates were elected.
The Jriends of Gordon say : “The Gordon dele
gates were elected by such an overwhelming ma
jority that the vote was not counted.” Bacon’s
friends say: “Farmers were so busy they could
not attend the mass meeting. This district is
four to one for Bacon,and the county would have
been overwhelmingly for Bacon if the people had
been given a chance. The court house clique has
certainly snatched this county from Bacon.”
MURRAY.
Murray county moved up very nicely for Gor
don, giving him 415 votes and Bacon 91. Fain
captured the congressional delegates, receiving
273 votes and Clements 250.
‘.CATOOSA.
Bacon carried the day in Catoosa county by a
vote of .215 against 182 for Gordon. Fain also
captured the congressional delegation, receiving
225 votes to 112 for Clements.
COLUMBIA.
Columbia county selected Bacon delegates and
instructed them to vote for Bacon in the conven
tion.
THE RESULT.
So far the result of the counties that have
i hoKeii delegates may be summarized as follows:
Gordon 20, Bacon 22, Jones 8, Carlton 2.
PROGRAMME FOR THE FUTURE.
The democratic executive committee of Bartow
county met Tuesday and called a mass meeting
lor July 7th to select delegates to the congression
al and gubernatorial conventions.

district in Harris county on the fourth Saturday
in June, when voters will vote direct for the can
didate they prefer for governor.
I nder a call for a “citizens’ meeting” a number
of persons met at Jasper on Tuesday and ap
pointed delegates favorable to Major Bacon. Af
terwards another meeting was held, which de
clared that the first was not a democratic meet
ing and resolved to hold a meeting of the demo
cratic party of Pickens county on .Saturday, the
3d of July, to nominate delegates.
The democratic executive committee has fixed
•Saturday, July 17, for holding a primary election

•Special to the Enquirer-Sun.
Opelika, Ala., June 2. -The democratic con
vention did not assemble until 2 p. m., owing tu
the train from Montgomery being delayed.
The convention was organized by electing
Jsac Prince cliarman, and Solon Griggs, A. ().
Warren and C. i\ Hodge secretaries. The com
mittee on permanent orgenization recommended
the adoption ofthc two-thirds rule, but the con
vention decided to adopt the majority rule.
It was decidid to nominate first probate judge,
then clerk ofc.reuit court, then representatives
to the legislature, and afterwards appoint dele
gates to the gu /ematonal convention.
Messrs. Holland, Philips, Frazer and Crayton
were put in nomination, and it was resolved to
drop the lowest mune alter the second ballot.
3 he convention was composed of sixty-five
delegates.
Gn the first >allot Holland received 28 1 , votes,
Frazer 18Ciayton 12‘r,, and Philips 9. Philip-
"as dropped »n the fifth ballot, and Frazer on
the sixth.
On the seventh ballot Crayton received 32',
votes and Holland 32' 4 , and Crayton was de
clared nominated. Most of Frazer’s vote-, after
his name was dropped, went to Crayton, and
most of Philips’ votes to Holland. #
There appears to be much dissatisfaction
among the delegates at the result. It is claimed
that ten Holland men bolted, but I cannot vouch
for the truth ol the assertion.

• a. * The stockholders of a railroad entered
into an agreement to sell the road to one Logan,
through his agent, Garrard, for f 100,000, provid
ing in the agreementthat it should remain bind
ing for only thirty days, and that, in the event of
the sale, the stockholders should execute quit
claim deed to nil their right, title and interest.
The contract wasdated April 12, 1881. On May 12
it was extended for thirty days, it being stated
that “the option for the sale and purchase of our
stock in stud railroad” was extended. No sale
having been completed to Logan, and the stock
holders still desiring to sell, they
gave to one Dexter the follow
ing agreement: “Wo, the undersigned
stockholders in the Columbus and Rome railroad
company, do hereby extend the option on sale
.of Columbus and Rome railroad heretofore grant
ed to Louis F. Garrard, on April 12, 1881. and ex
piring on June 12. 1881, to Armory Dexter, to
commence on the 12th day of June, aiid to expire
on the 12th day of July, 1881:”
Held, that this agreement was not ambiguous,
and was properly construed by the court. It fixed
the price by reference to the former agreement,
and undent Dexter could either buy for himself
or another, provided he paid that price.

Hall, J. —1. In 70 Ga., 817, this court held that
an act of the* general assembly conferring upon a
municipal corporation authority to assess real
property, abutting on a street, for improvements
made thereon, did not involve the exercise of the
taxing power, within the meaning of that term
as used in the constitution, and there was a dis
tinction betwe en such ussesMin nis and taxation;
but the question was not considered whether
such assessments, being made and collected for
the* benefit of the public ami as a substitute fin-
other services required ofthc citizen to effectuate
that particular purpose, were not in the nature of
taxation: nor did this court hold that they were
not “ej isdom generis” with ordinary taxation.

SAVANNAH. Dl'BLIN AND WESIKKN.
A Savannah speci.il gives this view of
the Savannah. Dublin and Western road :
It is still much doubted here whether
the Savannah, Dublin and Western will be
| built, and investors are getting \yry euu-
! tious. There are many who believe that
I new road is projected by the Standard Oil
- company for the purpose of depressing
Central railroad stock and scooping up that
I splendid system. Some of the capitalists
interested* in the Savannah, Dublin and
Western project arc known to be connect
ed with the Standard Oil company, which
some three months ago scooped up one of
tlie best new lines iu Florida. There has
been a good deal of mystery
about the company. President
1 Linderman stated on his re
turn from England that he hail arranged
to get money to build the line in London.
It turns out that no definite arrangement
was consummated by him at that time, lie
went to England ostensibly to purchase
1 steel rails, but came back without having
I done so, saying that lie* had discovered that
1 he could make better arrangements in
Pennsylvania, owing to the tariff. If lie
had read the ironmakers’ reports he would
I have known that before he sailed.
I “A gentleman well known in railroad
matters and thoroughly acquainted with
the resources of the country, says the Sa
vannah, Dublin and Western line could not
| pay, even if it could be built and ecpiipped
| at fifteen thousand dollars per mile, as is
estimated by Mr. Linderman.’’
MR. BESS’ SILENCE ABOUT IT.
Mr. A. Hess, the representative of the
' English capitalists whom President Lit.-
| Herman hopes to interest in the Savannah,
Dublin and Western Short Line railroad
' company, will make his report to the syn-
j die ate this week. Mr. Jloss came over
from England a little more than a month
j ago and during the past fortnight he has
! been looking into the line. He spent some
days at the Savannah end of the line mak
ing inquiries about the resources of the
j country along the route sur
veyed. Then he went up through
the state, stopping at Macon
and other points. lie has been back in
Savannah two or three days and has about
concluded his investigation. Mr. Hess is
an extremely affable gentlemen, and to
all things appertaining to the new road
is a brilliant listener, When it comes to
tiie road
perfectly silent. He
remarked to a News reporter at tin*
Screven house that he has been asked for
j an expression a good many times. Mr.
' Hess does not give the slightest inti
mation of what his report will be,
! whether favorable or unfavorable. He
has been busy gathering all the informa
tion bearing upon the matter that he could
, possibly g»*t hold of. The re port will cover
the sources of middle Georgia’s wealth and
the resources of the country from which
I the road would obtain its revenues. It will
also have something to say about the effect
! ofthe railroad commission on the earnings
of railroads in Georgia. Mr. 11 css has made
a careful study of the subject and his re
port probably will determine whether the
bonds of the road will be taken by the
| English capitalists.
GRADING THE COVINGTON.
I Colonel B. W. FroheJ, chief engineer of
| the Covingtin and Macon railroad, arrived
' in Atlanta from Covington Monday after-
I noon. A Constitution reporter met him
: and inquired for information concerning
! his line.
i “The grading is completed nearly to
j Covington,” Colonel Probel said, “and I
expect to reach that place in the next few
| days. The work has been well done, com
paring favorably with that on any other
road in the south. Ferguson & Co., the
contractors, arc experienced in such work
and have put forth their very best efforts.”
“When will the track laying begin '?”
“I expect to let the contract for that
work very soon, probably within ten days.
A large portion ofthe rails are at Macon,
and all facilities for laying them are also
there.”
“When will the cars begin to run?”
“It will now be but a few weeks before
they will be put on tlie road. The people
along tiie line arc very anxious to hear the
whistle of the locomotive and 1 am very
anxious to gratify them.”
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
The Central railroad has declared the
usual semi-annual dividend of two per
cent. Central stock is quoted at sixty-nine
a decline of eleven cents within about
forty days. The recent depression in Cen
tral stock represents a shrinkage of about
i'S00,0()0. It 1- believed that the Standard
Oil people could afford to spend a million
or two dollars on the Savannah and Dub
lin and then practically abandon it, if it
would enable t lieni t<> <>btain control of the
Central at a depreciation of three or four
millions.
