Democratic Ballot I!*vlcil.
The official form of ballot for the
Democratic primary of May 15th Las
been revised under the direction of the
Btate committee and the new form pre
pared for the benefit of the various
county committees lias been received
by the officials of the state.
‘The ballot includes every office,
state and county, to be voted for at the
May primary and the addition to the
ticket of the offices of judge aud solici
tor of the circuit courts and that of
United States senator makes the bal
lot the longest ever preparod for a pri
mary in Georgia.
The official form T.as been revised by
Comptroller General W. A. Wrightat
the instance of the committee and
from suggestions given by the state
house officers. A copy of the ha lot
Will UtJ iu i. A. .1 - t '■••an fa Hm rtr/li
nary of every county in the state and
that official in each county will refer
the form to the secretary of the county
committee.
The new form of ballot contains un
der the head of “Prison commission
er, unexpired term,” the name of
Thomas Eason, who is now unopposed
for re-election in the Democratic par
ty. The state officials also appended
to the new form the name of Senator
A. O. Bacon for re-election to the
United States senate, as Senator Ba
con has announced for re-clectioe and
has no opposition. This loaves not
an office to bo voted for by the entire
Btate at the primary with opposition,
and this condition is but carrying out
the established oustom of the party in
“off” years.
The retirement of Treasurer W. J.
Speer leaves only one candidate for
state treasurer in the field, Captain R.
E. Park, of Macon, to whose nomina
tion all opposition was withdrawn sev
eral weeks ago.
Two prison commissioners, one from
south Georgia and the other from
north Georgia, are to be voted for on
May 15th. General Clement A. Evans
is the commissioner from the northern
part of the state and is a candidate for
re-election without opposition. Com
missioner Eason holds the nnoxpired
term of Hon. Jacob Beach by virtue of
the appointment of the late Governor
W. Y. Atkinson. The appointment of
Commissioner Eason to fill the vaeauey
caused by the resignation of Jacob
Beach, who held the long term of six
years, was the last official act of Gev
ernor Atkinson before retiring from
office.

The three divisions of Georgia naval
militia at Brunswick and Savannah
will go on board the United States
traininig ship “Prairie," which is now
at the Brooklyn navy yard, for a
week’s cruise and practice during the
latter part of May. The final arrange
ments for the crnise of the Georgians
were made when Commander Frank
D. Aiken, of Brunswick, commander
of the naval battalion, and Lieutenant
J. S. Wright, of Bruuswick, were noti
fied by Governor Cnudler that the state
would this year pay the expense of the
cruise.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Allen was notified by wire that the na
val militia of the state would accept
the offer of the “Prairie,” and would

A Washington dispatch says: The
general plans for the new battleship
“Cleorgia,’’ which have been prepared
by the naval board of construction, in
dicate that the “Georgia” and her sis
ters the“ Pennsylvania” and “New Jer
sey will, when completed, be the

Boundary Muddle Closed,
The decision of Secretary of State
Phil Cook by which Wayne county
gets the 25,000 aores of disputed laud
lying between Wayne and Charlton
counties has at last been officially re
corded at the statehouse. This decis
ion, which was made known several
days ago, brings to a conclusion, at
least for the present, the bitter fight
w’aged off and on for half a century
between the authorities of Wayne and
Charlton. The survey made by Peck
last year has been recorded as the offi
cial line between the two counties and
thiß means that Charlton loses all claim
to the 25,000 acres of land.

sociation at its last meeting fixed April
21 for a special meeting to discuss
questions concerning the handling of
the crop of 1900, whioh, all signs in
dicate, will be an unprecedented one

ing of all matters connected with the
transportation of the crop as possible.

mill will be erected in Athens in the

zens are interested in the movement,

ber of employees, and will furnish a
market for a great quantity of cotton
seed.

ty. Anew court house, to cost 830,-
