IN PRIMARY WORK
The warmest time in many a day
has been experienced in the primary
in Crisp county today. Dorsey work
el's; headed by A. F. Churchwell, Dr.
T. J. McArthur, Judge E. F. Stroziei
and a score of other enthusiasts have
beelfi;‘out and in at the polls dispensing
thefr kind of interest and they have
made one of the most brilliant fights
in Crisp that has been recorded herz
is years.
YA ‘Ward, Thomas Nesbit,
fight for Senator Smith that would
Mayor Land, L. A. Parker C. 0. No
bles and others have likewise put up &
make anybody envious when it comes
to measuring enthusiasm.’ They went
to the woods long ago and they kepi
up a fight with the Dorsey folks that
was felt. ;
And the Watson and Hardwick men
were there, too, putting in what they
could. W. B. Matthews probably
stood in the lead of the Watson fight.
Hardwick had some friends, amofig
them, being Thomas Nesbitt and L. A.
Parker in town and in the country all
forces worked to carry the election.
Evei‘ywhere a good spirit ef sports
manship has been manifested and the
election has gone, most likely for
Dorsey and Walker in Crisp without
mishai’ or a disturbance worth noting.
