I This delay gives the workers a long ! time to talk to the voters, and many have been changed. \ At this hour it looks as if the polls will rinse leaving hundreda unable to reach the ballot boxes. The leaders on both sides are making claims, but to an impartial observer it locks as if the reds are carrying the day. The negro vote Is pivotal. Great crowds of them are marched to the polls and f lared In line by "antis" and it Is clear that they are well organlz- ■ ed. I The vest pocket vote is large. Busl insss men are voting quietly and it is claimed that they fear the result of prohibition on the business Interests of , the city and are casting red tickets. | Two hundred Mercer students are at j work for the "prohl" side.

Therefore It will be the pleasure of every gentle man to vote for them. If you vote for the sale you indorse your name on ev ery barroom license.*’ The literature of the antis Is a plea for the business interests of the city. They say, ‘ Prohibition will take from Macon thousand* of dollars wo>th of trade and Atlanta and other cities will get it." “Prohibition will tale work from honest laborer* and deprive wo men and children of their dally bread.” "Abolish the licensed saloon and the blind tigers will follow." "If you want Macon to prosper, profit by Atlanta’s experience." "If you want grass to grow in the streets, vote for prohibi tion.” Today the city of Macon Ik passing through the experience of Atlanta In the famous pMhibltlon election of ten years ngo, and that contest was prom inent tn this campaign. The lesson of prohibition In Atlanta Is affecting the result today. The scenes or that elec tion are repeated h ue. yoldiers Are Absent. A striking feature or the day's scenes Is th>- absence of soldiers from the streets. It was feared that they would i reat. a disturbance and upon the re quest of council, General Wilson order ed that no soldiers be allowed to leave the camps today. The election la a memorable one. nnd It Is furnishing Bights new to the peo ple of Macon. There Ih great suppress- , ed excitement among the people, and as j the time of closing the polls approach es, interest Is being Intensified. The count will be awaited with great anx ltjty. Tonight Macon will be turned over to the victora of the day and th* city will be a bedlam no matter how the elec tion goes II the antis carry they will Jubilate in.great style, and Macon will, be the noisiest place in the state to night.
