Blakely, Ga., SepL 11, 1924. 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 adoption of the Australian ballot for Karly county. Pity that we couldn’t have had it years ago! o— ’ The American round-the-world lliers received a great ovation on their arrival home, after a trip of live months which carried them around the globe for the first flight of this kind attempted. o 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. o 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. I Political boss-ism was dealt a death | blow in Early county in Wednes day’s primary. o— The mercury took a tumble down ward Tuesday night and the air or the past two mornings has been of the kind that reminds us that win ter is not far distant. o The News’ forecast last week of the Congressional election panned l out almost exactly as forecasted. Cal houn county, which was claimed by , both candidates, went for Con gressman Park. Decatur and Worth, l both of which were conceded to I Judge Park, went according to the , forecast, making a total of three coun . ties, the remaining ten giving Judge . Cox a majority.
