HARRIS RUNS SECOND—HARD MAN THIRD—POTTLE FOURTH Returns Up to This Hour Show Dorsey on First Bailot-J, D. Price in Close Contest With J. J, Brown. Park and Harrell Winners. JUDCE HARRELL WINS EASILY AT PUBLIC LIBRARY ,*\j0 The election passed off very quietly in this county and while interest seemed keen there was not as large a vote polled as was was expected. The result was a landslide for Dorsey in this countv, Park and Judge Harrell for congress and Judge of the Superior Court respecti vely. The effort to combine the Pottle, Hardman and Harris vote failing Dorsey beat them all put together nearly all over the state. Congressman Frank Park, winning the county also by a ful of the outcome of the Con vention, the booger that con fronted all. The vote was very heavy throughout the entire state and every county that went for 6orsey seemed to have gone for him overwhelmingly and while he has the needed vote in the convention he got a big majority at the hands of the people. There is no question as to the desire of the voting strength of the state as to who they want for Governor. The other state offices remain about the same. There seems to be a Judge W. M. Harrell carried Decatur county by a majority of 1324 votes, Calhoun by 115 maj ority and Grady by 808 majority, making his majorities 2257. He lost Baker by a vote of 3 and Dougherty by a vote of 415 and Mitchell by hardly 600, making his Dosses of 1018, this giving him a majority of over 1100 votes prrick's greatest am- The Bainbridge Public Libary has recently received from the ; Trustees under the will of Mary j Baker Eddy, the following books on Christian Science: | “Science and Health With the I Key to the Scriptures.” Mis- liplift the stage.

NE6H0 SHOOTING SATURDAY NIGHT Rob McCay and John Greed two negros from above Bain bridge pulled off an old fashioned shooting and cutting scrape Saturday night. They had a fall ing out over $1.50 difference. Green proceeded to cut McCay in several places when McCay pulled a 32 Special and proceeded to smoke up the scenery with the result that Green was pretty badly wounded just above the heart. McCay gave up to the officers without any parleying and was brought into jail where his wounds received attention. Green is resting pretty well and outside of a pretty bad scare he will not be any the worse for wear. Haddon, and also names as com plimentary alternates were T. E. Rich, C. W. Wimberley, Jr., C. E.

Y l,e 4*16 season priori ££*1. 1916, as com- — bales ginned; Mr. Otho Benton was in the ' • • • mm flattering and handsome vote. Judge Harrell carried the county overwhelmingly over Judge Johnson ot Mitchell county. There seemed to be no ill feeling during the day and the friends of the candidates arond the polls spent the day ranging each other and the best of humor prevailed throughout. There seemed to be a deter mined effort so far as the De catur county voters were con cerned to put in new blood in the State House and the vote showed this sentiment very plain ly. J. J- Brown tor Commission er ot Agriculture ran a supris- ingly strong race in the county and cut the big vote of Price of two years ago all to pieces. Luke, Fullbright, Jenkins, George and Cozart ran ahead for the place on the court of Ap peals. Both Dobbs and Eakes getting a great vote in the county. The hottest election held here in many years but at the same time the best natured. The state campaign was full of surprises for some of the wise acres in the political arena. The election of Dorsey shook the thing up right lively and his enormous vote was a surprise even to his most loyal supporters. They thought that he would lead School open Monday morning and as usual there wa3 a lot of confusion about the kind of school books that the children were to use. A list was published, a list we are informed furnished the school book dealer and at the last hour changes made in f this list and confusion resulting. It does look like the school trustees could protect the people from any such needless worry and confusion. They can decide or have the teachers decide at least 10 days before hand what books they are going to use and positively prevent and last hour changes in them. It would be a splendid idea for the trustees to at least prevent changing them at all for a short term of two years. Methods of teaching dont advance so fast that the books have to he changed every term. In one of the grades a reader The friends of Mrs. Ninna Toole will learn with regret that she died very suddenly at Rome, Ga. Mrs. Toole had gone there to accept a position and became ill immediately on arrival. She was one of the most lovable ladies that ever lived in Bainbridge and in her circles of friends she was j was placed on the list, the dealer a close race between Price and Brown for Commissioner of Agriculture with the chances favoring Brown at this time. Some of the interesting features of the primary were the defeat of Judge Fite of the Cherokee Circuit the winning race of FetOverstret in the First district and the de feat of Dudly Hughes for Con gress from the third district. The re-election of Alex Lawrence from Savannah after a heavy and terific fight being made against him. The election of Judge Walker from the-llth, district. Fullbright, Cozart and Jenkins seem to have won tor the Court of Appeals but that is still very much in doubt. Judge Price Gilbert of Columbus, one of the leading judges of the state was beaten by a close vote. Bob Blackburn was defeated for Congress from the 5th, district J. J. Brown carried Clarke county for commissioner of Agriculture. Fondren Mitchell of Thomas County was elected Solicitor- General of the Southern circuit will be a pleasant bit of political news to his many friends Decatur county. Calvin Parker and Volney Williams of Ware county beat the bolters from the March primary in that county badly and the party is sustained very popular. A life long member has them but for some reason of the Baptist church she was .another reader is substituted tor known by her work in that church | this one and neither dealer has by all of its members. The body jthem. Nov/ we dont know whose was brought to Bainbridge Mon day and interred in the local cemetery in the presence of a number of her friends and ac quaintances. Mrs. Toole was a sister of Mr. C. E. Williams of Tallahassee. The news of her death will be received with sor row by all that knew her. MAKES GOOD SHOWING fault this is but we do know there is very little business sense in this constant substitu tion of books after a list is print ed, which we would suppose is authentic as no dealer loves to buy books that are not listed to be used. fir LAST E The colored senool opened up Monday under the principalship of Prof. G. R. Hutto and his corp of teachers with an increase of nearly one hundred pupils over the first day last year.
