The election in this city was
a very quiet one. There was a good
crowd around the polls nearly all
•day long and there was a good deal
of pleasantly . among the different
factions, but everything passed oft
-ve^ quietly and there was not a
•Ingle unpleasantness that we could
hoar off.
Reports from the outside precinct,
were Blow In coming in, hut they
-caused a good deal ot enthusiasm
Among the Joe Brown workers, when
they were received. The first report
that came was from Naylor where;
It was said that "Little Joe" was

-who thought that they could vote at
-th© couny seat, but rules of th© exe
cutive committee prevented this, so
-they had to return to their home dis
trict to Tote or be disfranchised so
far as this election Is concerned.
It was 4 very hard to tell how the
election at the cohrt house here was
fgolng. One could hear. all sorts of
•claims by partisan friends of tho
candidates. At noon a Pope Brown
Ynan declared that everything looked
Tope to him, while a Joe Brown
man declared that everything looked
like “Little Joe,” About the same
-time another man declared that he
lmd Just heard that the other candi
date’s friends had conceded plain
"Dick’s election by a big majority.
It looked to The Times reporter
like Jo© Brown was getting a good
majority of the' votes cast at this
precinct. It looked to ua like th*
-race here was between the two
Browns, with the odds considerably
In favor of “Little Jo©.’ 1

quietly eating the breakfast his
good wife tad prepared for him he
received a telegram from some par
ty over shout Waycross notifying
him that nis wife was on No. 89. go
ing west, and asking him to meet
her at the depot.
The Valdosta man had to shake
himself a few times to see If he was
dreaming.
Then he got up and came to town
to see who was coming in on the
Atlantic Coast Line train taat could
have caused such a telegram to he
sent him. He is still wondering how
the error happened, and who the
woman In question was.

Cordele, Dec. 7.—Crisp superior
court adjourned yesterday until
February. Judge Whlppl# yester
day sentenced Kid Glover and Tom

murder, to hang January 16.

and to lear* out the very disagreea

at 4 a. m., after a fifteen minutes’
walk down th* Savannah yards ad

dreary enough, but far better at that
than the station, wber* th* crowd
was forced to (tend for many hour*
In the cold, waiting for their car to

The demonstration In the Savan

Line was simply unable to handle

unfortunat* enough? to board the
