THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM MONDAY, September 13.—Pauline Stark and Niles Welch in “Marge O’Doone.” This photo play is written by James Oliver Curwood, and is said to be fine. VOL. XXVII. • A 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: 5 u CANDIDATES S 1 1 „ 1 g | 1 „ TOTAL s <■ a t J 2 5o ~ = v = s a s = a; -i i X ** © i; 4i r- „• = - * w For United States Senator.

Mr. Baird has for several years been with Autry, House and Grlffeth, Au try & Cos., and he lias hundreds of friends who will greet him at his new place. Recently Autry, House & Cos., sold out their dry goods department—the department over which Mr. Baird pre sided, and his new venture is the re sult. t Messrs. N. J.

Congressman Bell is one of the ab lest members of congress and lie has representated the Ninth district for the past fourteen years. He is very pop ular in Washington and is one of the leading members of the Demoerutie party. His election is a tribute to his popu'wity and worth to his constit uents. " HACK IN OLD QUARTERS *- % The Farmers Bank is back in its old quarters at the corner of Broad and Athens street. Because of the improvements be ing made to the building for the past few weeks the Bank was located in the Carithers comer. The floor space being used by the bank has been about doubled and bank ing facilities and equipment suitable for the increased volume of business transacted by this institution enlarg ed. Since its organization the Farmers Bank has increased its volume of bus iness by leaps and bounds. Starting with a capitalization of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars soon it had to in crease to Fifty Thousand Dollars to ac commodate the demands of friends to the institution. SERVICES POSTPONED There will be no preaching at the Presbyterian church tonight, but the pastor wiil fill his pulpit next Thurs day night instead. MRS. JOSIE LANDRUM JOIN’S PASSING THRONG Mrs. .Tosie Landrum died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. John S. Green, last Wednesday, September Ist. She was the widow of the late S. 8. Landrum, a minister in the Christian faith. She was a little more than 62 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 had been ill for more than IS months. Surviving her are one daughter, Mrs. John S. Green, with whom she lived, and one sister and one brother, Mr. Green Fuller and Mrs. Pruitt. The funeral and interment occur ed Thursday at (’impel, conducted by Revs. John H. Wood, J. Frank Jackson, Lum Green, of Hosehton. Mr. Bill Burch spent Sunday in Win 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.

THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM THURSDAY, Sept 9 Billie Burk in “Sadie Love.” FRIDAY. Sept 10—Douglas McLean in “What’s Husband Doing?” SATURDAY, Sept 11—Fatty Arbucle in “Camping Out” “Vanishing Dagger’ 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. YOUNG BOY BADLY HURT Yony Fulford Cook, young son of Xlr. and Xlrs. C. T. Cook, happened to a painful and serious accident in thfe Winder National Bank Building by getting caught under the elevator. The little fellow's arm was broken, shoulder crushed and he was other wise bunged up. 4 NO. 22
