WATSON AND HARDWICK GET BARROW
TOM BELL EASY WINNER IN NINTH
COL. GEORGE A. JOHNS WINS OVER JUDSON
L. MOORE IN CLOSE RACE FOR STATE SENATE
W. O. Dean Defeats W. H. Quarterman By Small Majority for
Solicitor General. “Little Dick’’ Russell Wins Over A. G.
Lamar By Big Majority For Representative Barrow County.
As was expected, Thomas E. Watson and Thomas W. Hard
wick carried Barrow County for United States Senator and Gov
ernor, respectively. In fact it was conceded by the political head
quarters of each candidate in these two races that Ephriam is
joined to his idol, and they expended no money for advertising
their candidates. Locally, however, Judge G. A. Johns, Judson
L. Moore, and the campaign manager for Brother A. G. Lamar,
dabbled a little in printer’s ink. It was a very lean political year
for the two Winder papers —in many ways of speaking.
' Judge G. A. Johns defeated Judson L. Moore for the State
Senate, and these two warm personal friends will no doubt blend
their respective influences in the future in support of the nomi
nees of the party. It is refreshing to note that Georgians recog
nize the importance of fighting out their differences within the
democratic party.
W. O. Dean was re-nominated for Solicitor of the Western
Circuit. He was opposed by W. H. Quarterman. Both men were
•well equipped to till the position to which they aspired. They
ran an up-right, clean and gentlemanly race, as did all of the
local candidates, and those who cast their ballots “for” W. O.
Dean had no desire to vote “against” W. H. Quarterman.
In the race for representative, “Little Dick” Russell was
nominated. His opponent for this honor. Brother A. G. Lamar,
is a pleasant, kind and affable Christian gentleman. We love
him. His presence among us unrolls the scrolls of memory and
carries us back to our boyhood days on the banks of Curry’s
creek, where the mocking bird perched himself amid the branches
of the stately oaks and sang his sweetest notes to the great joy of
the cotton-tailed,rabbit at the head of the lane. By reason of his
kind and conservative disposition, Mi*. Lamar would have made
a most excellent legislator during these trying and turbulent
times. “Little Dick” Russell is a young man of vim and unques
tioned ability. The interests of Barrow county will not suffer in
his hands.
The tabulated returns for the various districts of Barrow
County is as follows:

years of age. In her early girlhood
she joined the church at Chapel and
hail lived a long, consistent Christian
life.
She was stricken with paralysis and

Green Fuller and Mrs. Pruitt.

der.
JOE GUYON
WINDER
Joe Guy on, the fleet-footed outfield
er for Winder during the ball season,
spent Wednesday night here with his
wife n|ul children. Joe is playing
ball with the Atlanta crackers during
the off season of the “Million-Dollar”
League. In other words, Winder hus
farmed Guyon out to Atlanta for the
remainder of the Southern series. The
Indian is going strong and is setting
things afire in the bush league.
In one game he clouted a home run,
two two-baggers aud a single out of
four times-at bat. The Atlanta Con
stitution says of the Winder player’s
performances:
Next, we point to the Indian, Joe
Guyon, late of the Winder club, of
the “Million-Dollar league.” Guyon
was mad with John Dobbs, because
this same Mr. Abbo quoted Mr. Dobbs
as having said “I would protest Atlan
ta playing Guyon if I thought he was
worth a hang.” Joe got all the re
venge his heart should desire with a
home run to left center in the eighth
inning, a couple of runners scoring
ahead of the fleet Indian. Ordinarily
it would have been a double, but Guy
on isn’t an ordinary runner, and he was
across the pail with feet to spare.
Joe Guyon, the newcomer from the
Million-Dollar League,, looked like a
million dollars once again. Along with
Charlie High, Red Wingo and Jack
Martin, he spent a busy day with the
willow. Joe was easily the foremost
star. He made several 'fine running
catches and his fielding was only ex
ceeded by his good hitting. Joseph
cracked out a large sized double in the
opening matinee and got on base ev
ery time up in the final, hitting two
singles and brushing past Deberry in
the fifth on Ripperton’s muff. Many
fans thought that Joe was entitled to
a single on this play as the ball shot
to “Rip Van Winkle” as if it had been
shot from a cannon.

SATURDAY, Sept 11—Fatty Arbucle

After searching for the truth in the
unreliable Information at hand, we
think we are safe in saying to our
readers thut Hon. Thomas E. Watson
hus been overwhelmingly elected Unit
ed States Senator, and that Thomas
W. Hardwick will be the next gover
nor of Georgia.
We must rely on the dally papers
for information until the official returns
are consolidated. The daily papers
of Georgia are so prejudiced and bias
ed in their reports that their readers
ure denied the truth of the returns
until they have been consolidated by
the State Executive Committee. |
Had Mr. Wutson remained in the
Democratic party, after he had been
so badly treated in Richmond county,
liis ability would have received recog
nition by liis fellow Georgians many
years ago. By reason of liis treatment
Xlr. Watson become inbittered and at
tacked with his caustic pen many pub
lic men and many institutions. For
this lie will serve out bis public career
with never-forgiving political and per
sonal enemies. The Democratic Execu
tive Committee placed Xlr. Watson’s
name upon the democratic ticket and
Mr. Watson has declared himself a
Democrat supporting the national dem
ocratic nominees. His fellow demo
crats of Georgia have nominated liim
United States Senator, and The News
will support with all the r vigor al its
command the Democratic nominees..
There is a solace to us in this oue
toft —with Thomas E. Watson in the
United States Senate, the republican
party, which will be in power during
the six years of his service, will not
1* permitted to appoint negroes to
office in the southern states without
u vigorous and well-rendered protest
from the Stute of Georgia. *
Of course the Atlanta Constitution
gives the governorship to Clifford Wal
ker. It even gives Clarke county to
Walker, while the Athens > Banner
gives that county to Holder by more
than two hundred plurality over Wal
ker. By taking the Atlanta Consti
tution, the Athens Banner and the At
lanta Georgian and using our best
efforts to strike a happy medium as
to the truthfulness of the situation,
we arrive at the conclusion that the
figures given below are as near the
truth as we can gather at this time,
and that Thomas W. Hardwick has
been nominated. Xlr. Hardwick will
make the state of Georgia u most
excellent chief executive.
The returns reveal that Tom Bell,
Charlie Brand, Gordon Lee and Earn
est Willie Upshaw will be returned
to congress; that. Napier hus been
elected attorney-general and that prac
tically all of the office holders of the
state who had opposition will retain
their commissions.
The unit vote announced by the
Atlanta Georgian in the senator’s race
was:
For Senator —
Watson 238
Dorsey 68
Smith 28
For Governor—
Hardwick 178
Walker r 130
Holder 8
The Atlanta Journal gives this ver
sion in its noon udition:
For Senator —
Watson 193
Dorsey 75
Smith 40
For Governor —
Hardwick 154
Walker 146
Holder 12
There is nothing official about any
of these returns, as committeemen did
not meet to consolidate until about
noon today. Thirty-six counties have
not been reported.
