GEORGIANS AT BALLOT BOX White Voters of Every County In the State Express Themselves at'the Polls. WERE BUT FEW CONTESTS Little Interest Shown In Majority of the Counties—Judges’ and Solicitors’ Race Was Interesting. In every one of the 137 counties in the state of Georgia ballots were cast Tuesday for statehouso oflieials. In more than two-thirds of this num ber, there was a primary for state senator, member of the legislature and ior county officers. In the third district, represented by Hon. E. It. Lewis, there was a contest for congressional honofs, With this exception there were no other coutests in congressional districts in the state. Congressman Lewis was opposed by Judge Alien Fort. The internal dissension in the Chat ham county Democratic executive com mittee was of exciting interest. In Baldwin county, Hou. Daniel B, Hanford, candidate for the legislature, withdrew from the primary, declaring that, he could not get justice. In the Cherokee judgeship contest there was u red-hot light made on Judge George Gobor. A similar light was waged in Bartow county, where spicy features were in jected into the campaign. In Chatham county ttie light was for the soli itorship, and there was much excitement and bitterness at the polls. The friends of both candidates worked .hard. The Osborne crowd captured the polls at 4 o’clock ntid got. about 300 votes in the lead. In Savannah lights were of frequent occurrence. Forty police and twenty-four extra deputy sheriffs could uot keep the fac tions apart. The absence of a contest over the governorship and statehouse officers centered the strength of the tight in the judicial races which, in some cases, reached proportions of sensationalism. In the Cherokee circuit there was sprung an exciting race in the judge ship between Judge A. W. Fite and Colonel Robert J. McCamy, The canvass preliminary to this vote was bitter in the extroiue, many features of it being regrettable. The people, however, fpive Judge Fite the indorse ment, and he will be unanimously elected to succeed himself. BOERS ARE HERE. Peace Envoys Reach New York and Receive a Royal Welcome. The steamship Maasdam, with the Boer peace envoys ou board, arrived at New York Tuesday. The revenue cutter Hudson, with the reception committee ou board, went down the bay to meet and welcome the dele gates. The cutter escorted the Muasdam up the river to the docks in Hoboltpu. Ou board the steamer Judge Van llousen welcomed the envoys, saying. “We are a committee of citizens of New York who sympatize with your country iu its struggle for liberty and independence and who wish to make your visit to the city of New York agree able to you and personally advanta geous to the nation of which you are representatives. Iu the uenr future we will extend you a more formal re ception but ou this occasion we simply ray: “Welcome!” According to a Pretoria special to the New York Herald the envoy is empowered to take important action. The correspondent says: “I have the highest authority for making the statement that rather than see their country conquered by England the commissioners are empowered to ask the United States to assume a protec torate over the republics. Secretary Reitz, who is rapidly go ing down under the strain he is un dergoing, voiced this national hope in the words: “We will maintain our in dependence if we can. If not, we will appeal to the American people to take us under their wing. Surely the de claration of independence is broad euou hto span tho oceau. Our last hope is that, having again carried our burden of persecution into the wilder ness to escape from England, we may be permitted to deposit it at the foot of the statue of liberty, to find peace and protection under the stars and stripes.” BOEKS ARE CONCENTRATING. Ih Tliwt They Are Mamlnc on the V *hl Klvcr for lUr Kattle. It is reported, according to Kroon stad advices, that tho whole of the Boer forces are concentrating on the Vaal, drawing from Biggarsburg aud .southwestern borders for a bold stand. In the nearby district of Blue Ridge there was another contest between Judge George F. Gober and Mr. Moul trie M. Sessious, which was somewhat lurid, dividing the people to au extend not often witnessed in political con tests. Hero again the sitting judge was successful, having been nominated to succeed himself. The old Northern circuit, renowned for its historic politics, sprung a sur prise by the apparent nomination of Hon. J. N. Worley over Judge Reese and Colonel Holden, because of the phenomenal majority of 1,200 by w hich he carried the single county of Elbert. Colonel Holden made a strong rac6, but in view of this barricade set up in Elbert, Judge Worley seems to hold the fort. Judge John H. Candler, of the Stone Mountain district, has been hand somely indorsed and will still continue to dispense justice iu his part of the state. There were several judges who had no opposition, notable among whom was Hon. Harnpse W. Harris, who always carries everything before him, and Hon. John C. Hart, of the Ocmulgee circuit. In the nominations of members of the general assembly the result was not so general, owing to division of opinion in many counties about unit ing that race with the state house ticket. Many caudidwtos wished to have a contest for the legislature car ried on under other auspices, and free from the influence of accompanying contests. In a number of counties dates bad already been fixed, and work liacj been directed so as to meet them, brft in a respectable number the voting for members of the legislature was con solidated with that of the state house ticket. The only contest for congress which Georgia will have during the present campaign was that of the Third dis trict between Hon. Elijah Lewis and Hon. Allen T. Fort. Mr. Lewis came home to meet the campaigning of Mr. Fort, and a two weeks’ fight preceded the primary. The reuominatiou of Mr. Lewis is a strong indorsement of his career iu the house. The crowning though a quiet feat ure of the contest, was the vote in every county for United States senator. For the first time the official ballot bore the name of a candidate for United States senator, and Hon. Augustus O. Bacon will owe his next nomination to the act of the voters themselves with out intermediary or previous cam paigning. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS ADJOURN. Coil veil ti on tOmls at Hot Spring* to Meet Next Year In New Orleans. The Southern Baptist convention adjourned at Hot Springs Monday night to meet next year in New Or leans. The feature of the closing day’s meeting was the speech of Charles S. Morris, a negro missionary from Africa. The convention, disregarding the rules, applauded him again and again for his utterances. He said Africa was the negro’s field. The white man could not stand it. The negro was the true missionary for this oonutry. The first modern missionary work was not done by Carey, but the noble white women of the south who had taught the pagan blacks iu that first Dutch slave ship about Jesus aud His love. This love in their hea.ts had caused Pompey aud Sambo to lie as bulwarks of protection in front of their master’s door for four long years. The women of the south had clothed the poor pagans aud given them a language that was designed to conquer the earth. He could see God’s hand in all of this as he was preparing for evangelizing Africa, and the time had come for the negro to enter upon this work. He pleaded for a negro to be sent out among the churches of his people iu the south to arouse them to more ac tivity iu missions. At at the suggestion of Dr. Eaton, of Kentucky, a collection for this pur pose was taken up, amounting to SIOB. The boards of the convention were re-elected with few changes. Dr. W. W. Landrum was elected president of the home board to succeed Dr. Mc- Donald. Dr. Willingham was re elected secretary of the foreign mission board; Dr. Kerfoot of the home board, aud Dr. Frost of the Sunday school board. Iu the midst of great enthusiasm the convention pledged itself to in crease its offerings for foreign missions from $140,000, the amount given last year, to $'200,000. Convicted of Mail Robbery. In the United States court at At lanta, Tuesday, Duane A. Russell, formerly a railway postal clerk ou the line between Atlanta aud Birmingham, | was couvicted on a charge of robbiug the mails. Russell was arrestad last year by Postoffice Inspectors Barry , aud Ros Bob. Decoy letters were used. ELECTION RESULTS. ' The List of Candidates Honored By Georgians In Tuesday’s Battle of Ballots.

The Senate Rejects By Close Vote The Proposition to Build One of Our Own. By a close vote, Saturday, the sen ate rejected the proposition to erect without reference to the price at which the government could secure armor plate for its warships au armor fac tory. The vote upon the direct prop osition was 22 to 24, and subsidiary amendments were rejected by about the same vote. When the committee’s proposition was about to be voted up on a filibuster organized, the quorum of the senate was broken and the question is still in the air. During the debate Mr. Chandler, of New Hampshire, delivered a sensational speech in which he charged that the government had been defrauded in the adoption of the Harveyized armor. He declared a similar fraud was proposed in the attempt to force the government to adopt the Krupp armor. Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, and Mr. Hale, of Maine, made notable speeches deprecating the war talk Friday by Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts. Neither senator was fearful that we might be come involved in difficulty with Ger many on account of the Monroe doc trine, the latter declaring that the United -States and Germany were bound together by indissoluble ties, and the former that our relations with the German empire were never more cordial than they are today. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, protested against the “wretched imperialistic business,” and the talk that this nation had only recently become a “world power,” as serting that it had been a world power since the war of 1812. At 3 o’clock, by special order, de bate ceased, and the voting began upon the armor question. The amend ment offered by Mr. Penrose to pay $645 for the armor for the Maine, Ohio and Missouri was defeated. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, offered an amendment making it mandatory upon the secretary of the navy to erect an armor plate plant at once at a cost not to exceed $4,000,000. The amend ment was defeated —22 to 24—as fol lows: Y r ea- —Bacon, Bate, Berry, Carter, Chandler, Cockrell, Daniel, Harris, Davis. Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Mallory, Money, Morgan, Nelson, Paltus, Spooner, Stewart, Teller, Thurston, Tillman, Vest —22. Nays—Allison, Baker, Clark of Wy oming, Depew, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster, Frye, Hansborough, Hale, Hawley, Hoar, Lodge, Mcßride, McComas, McCumber, McEnery, Pen rose, Perkins, Proctor, Quarles, Ross, Shoup—24. Mr. Tillman’s amendment striking out the committee’s proposition to pay $445 per ton for armor, fixing the maximum price at S3OO per ton, ex cept for armor for the battleships Maine, Missouri and Ohio, for which $545 was to be paid, and making it mandatory upon the secretary of the navy to construct an armor plant, was defeated 22 to 24, the vote in no re spect differing from the vote on Mir. Pettns’s amendment. Mr. Tillman then offered his amend ment three times, each time raising slightly the limit of cost of the armor. Each time the amendment was de feated. Mr. Chandler offered an amendment precisely similar to those proposed by Mr. Tillman. The vote on the amend ment indicated the absence of a quo rum, the vote being seventeen yeas to twenty-three nays. A call of the senate was demanded aud a quorum was developed. A vote on Mr. Chandler’s amendment was taken again, resulting, ayes, 17; uoes, 22—not a quorum. “It is evident,” said Mr. Hale, “that we cannot dispose of this ques (ion today. We are at the mercy of the minority.” On his motion the senate then, at 4:15 p. m., adjourned. House Beady of Adjourn. The house Tuesday sent to the sen ate the last of the general appropria tion bills—the military academy bill— aud will be ready to adjourn as as soon as the senate disposes of those it has not passed and the two honses adjust the differonoes in conference.

This -was the scene of an Indian massacre in Deerfield, Mass., during the early history of New England. Capt. Lathrop, with a company of 84 men, was here attacked by 700 lios tiles on Sept. 18, 1G75, and only seven of the white men escaped. A marble monument now marks the spot of the battlefield.
