Most Overwhelming Victory Ever Re
corded by a Gubzrnatorial Candidate
» Sl
Hon. John M. Slaton was proclaimed Governor of Georgia
Wednesday, his victory being the most overwhelming ever recorded
by a candidate for Governor where there was any opposition at all.
Out of the 146 counties in the state 139 of them are credited
with having gone for Slaton, the other seven being devided between
his two opponents, Joe Hill Hall and Hooper Alexander.
Not only did Mr. Slaton carry Alexander’s home county, Dekalb,
by 285 votes, but also won his home precinct, Decatur, by 54 votes,
The latest official returns so far give Alexander only two counties,
Chattahoochee and War€, and some of the morning papers give him
only one county— \Ware. Ha'l carried Baker, Bibb, Houston, Lee
and Macon. The rest of the counties, acccrding to the returns so far
received went 1n the Slaton column.
# Out of a popular vote of 150,000 it is estimated that Slaton polled
100,000 votes. ’

Mason’s Annuity
In Prosperous State
Atlanta, August 20.—Are you
a Mason? If you are, it is ten
to one you will be intensely
interested in the report for
the fiscal year ending July 31st
made by supreme Sécretary Geo.
E. Argad of the Masonjs Annui
ty, showing that the Annuity,
whose membership is restricted
to Masans, started with nothing
in its treasury fourteen years ago
and has accumulated a surplus
fund of $525,919.01, besides hav
ing paid annual annuities to the
amount of $317, 618.55. :
It will be of interest also that
the Mason’s Annuity building,
located on the corner of Edge
wood and Ivy street, is increas
ing in value as rapidly and stead
ily as any piece of central real
‘estate in the city, and is already
iworth several times what it cost
at the date of its erection. The
Igeneral assets of the order are
invested in high grade municipal
bonds.
