The “I-Told-You-Sos” are having
their Inning today.
All is ready for the opening of the
Fall term of the Blakely public
schools next Monday. A record en
rollment is expected.
The October grand jury will prob
ably put the finishing touches on

The American round-the-world

their arrival home, after a trip of
live months which carried them
around the globe for the first flight
of this kind attempted.

The Democratic nominee, John W.
Davis, is on the stump in the Middle
West. Democracy’s chances are said
to be brightening as a result of his
addresses to the dissatisfied people
of this section of the country.
Now that the election is over, the
burying of the hatchet is the propel
course to pursue. I.et’s all iorgei
the little personalities and hard
feelings incident to an event of this
kind and pull together for the bet
terment of our city ami county.

The state primary yesterday was
one of the quietest affairs of its
kind ever pulled off nv Georgia.
The farmers of the state were busy
gathering crops, and many uncon
tested races accounts for the light
vote in the rural sections.
o
Our sister state of South Carolina
is to be pitied. Cole Blease, former
governor, lias come to life again
and has been elected United States
Senator. Just what has come over
our neighbors that they should en
dorse a man of the Cole Blease
type?
Senator William J. Harris scored
a decisive victory over former Sen
ator Thomas W. Hardwick in yes
terday’s primary. The eyes of the
nation were upon Georgia watching
the attempted come-back of the
man of many political battles. Hard
wick made a strenuous campaign,
but the record of the present Senator
stood like a stone wall in his path
way and proved an unsurmountable
barrier.
o
Judge E. E. Cox scored a decisive
victory in yesterday’s primary over
Congressman Frank Park, carrying
10 out of 13 counties. Early county,
the News is glad to be able to say,
gave the Camilla jurist the largest
majority of any county in the district
w ith one exception—Judge Cox’s home
county of Mitchell. The Congress
man-elect is well qualified to fill the
high position to which he has been
elected, and we feel safe in making
the prodiction that the Second dis
trict will hear from E. E. Cox when
he reaches Washington. Congratu
lations are in ordar.
