I thought when I bought this stock that it would go very much higher tan it is, but I am commencing, to feel like letting it go, to take it on again at lower figures.

The option is with the • company and not with the holder of the <«:oek. Should it go to the bad it will be continued. If the stock goes above par and remains so the company will pay the cash, Mr. Huhn tells me, and it seems to me that under the circumstances that 92 or 93 is a very full price for it.” “December 10, IS >7. —Dear John: I have a thousand shares cf sugar that Huhn bought at 1.42, which I wish to pay for and take ever to the Peoples’.

POPULISM'S IEIIS BLOW, That Party Will Not Have More Than Ten Counties in the Leg islature th : s Session. Atlanta. Oct. o—Yesterday’s election was the- most complete Democratic victory that has ever been kne -vn in this state. Considering the fa:-: that in these coun ties where there was no contest's, the reg istration was unusually light and voting very slow Candler’s majority was a sur prise to everyone. Twenty-two counties were redeemed from the Populists and the People's party was almost effaced from the political map cf Georgia. Colonel Gandler’s majority is easily 25,- i*oo votes ahead of the Democratic majority for governor two years ago, and this on an unusually light vote. •Bibb county for instance, where a total vote of 2,100 was polled in 1896, only 509 votes were cast this year. In Chatham the vote yesterday was less than half what it was in the race between Governor W. Y. Atkinson an 1 Hon. Seaborn Wright. There were seme notable victories for the state ticket yesterday. Greene county, one of the strongholds of Populism, was redeemed by a handsome majority, and so were Laurens, Gordon. Lumpkin. Oconee, Cherokee, Wayne and Baldwin all coming back to Democracy. Floyd county, which gave Wright a majority in 1896 of 300, gave Candler 900 over Hogan. Then the Democrats have 'Screven. Jackson Talia ferro, Wayne, White, Glasscock and John son. The Populists will not have more than ten members cf the house of representa tives, and they do not appear to have elected a single senator. In a few coun ties they made a fight for local offices, ’out aside from that their ticket cut very little figure in the result. As a political organ ization. the people’s party received its death blow yesterday in Georgia. WOODWARD WON. Result of the Municipal Elec tion in Atlanta. Special to The News.
