GEORCIA’S ELECTION j
HEAVY VOTE POLLED IN ALL j
COUNTIES.
WATSON’S DISTRICT IS POPULIST
Empire State Leads in the Demo
cratic Frocession.
HON W. Y. ATKINSON FOR GOVERNOR.
The Kntire State Democratic Ticket Elect*
ed by a Majority of From 25,000
to 40,0(10—The Populist Vote
to the State.
Atlanta, October 4. — Georgia yester
day elected a governor, state house offi
cials, members of the general assembly
and county officers in each of the one
hundred and thirty-seven counties.
Three amendments to the state consti
tution were also voted upon, one pro
viding 1 for annual sessions of the gener
al assembly, changing, also, the time of
convening from October to July: an
other providing for the addition of two
judges to the supreme court bench, and
the other to increase the power of
granting pensions to disabled confeder
ate veterans by the state legislature.
HON. W. V. ATKINSON.
Two complete state house tickets
were in the field, composed as follows:
Democratic: Governor, William Y. At
kinson; Secretary of State, Allen D.
Candler: Treasurer, Robert U. Harde
man: Attorney General, Joseph M. Ter
rell; Comptroller General, William A.
Wright; Commissioner of Agriculture,
Robert T. Nesbitt.
Populists: Governor, James K. Hines;
Secretary of State, A. L. Nance; Treas
urer, C. M. Jones; Attorney-General, J.
A. H. Maliaffy; Comptroller General, W.
R. Kemp; Commissioner of Agriculture,
James Barrett.
Heavy Vote Polled.
The election throughout the entire
state was unusually quiet, while
the poll workers were more ac
tive than usual. The campaign on the
part of both the parties had been zeal
ously waged, and though but little fear
existed as to a democratic victory, the
populists were well organized, and in
addition to their strength two years
ago, a heavy labor vote and a good
block of the negro vote was conceded
them. The vote of the state for gover
nor in October, 1892, was: Northen
(deni.,) 140,492; Peek, (pop.) <>8.990. A
vote larger than the one two years ago
was polled yesterday, and the demo
cratic majority reduced.
Air. Atkinson ran behind his ticket in
many counties in the state. In Fulton
the rural precincts gave a majority to
Hines and the democratic state house
officers; the vote in Atlanta reversed
the majority for governor and placed
the county in the Atkinson column.
Populists Gain in the Legislature.
The populists have made considerable
gains for the legislature but not enough
so to effect the democratic control of
either of the branches. There are for
ty-four members in the senate and one
hundred and seventy-five in the house.
Of this it is estimated that the populists
will have eight to ten members in the
HON. JAMES K. HINES.
former, and thirty-five to forty in the
latter. Should they get control of the
legislature Watson would be their
choice for United States senator, and
this is alleged to have been an inside
feature of their active local campaigns.
Populists Catry the Tenth.
Especial interest has centered in the
tenth district because of the fact
that Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the chair
man of the people's party state com
mittee, was a resident of that district,
and the nominee for congress in oppo
sition to Major Black, the present en
cumbent.
The aggregate vote in the district
will be close and will take an official
count to draw definite conclusions as
to the possible outcome. Columbia
and McDuffie have both given Hines a
large majority for governor. The vote
will be heavier at the general election,
and Watson will face the full strength
of his party.
Later: The tenth district goes for
the populist by 296 majority.
Majorities by Districts.
All congressional districts gave At
kinson majorities, save the fourth,
and tenth. The first districts' majori
ty is 5854; second, 4595; third, 4K3ft;
fourth, 019 for Hines; fifth, 200 for At
kiusori; sixth, 8036; seventh, IMSj
eighth, 8410; ninth, TANARUS; tenth, ma
jority for Hines; eleventh, Atkinson'*
majority 4586.

BLASTED THE HOPES
Factions of tho Alabama Groat
Southern Together.
THE OLD DIRECTORATE RETAINED.
While the Factions Were Squabbling, a
lioml) in the Shape of an Injunction
Was Exploded—One Division
Called Down.
Birmingham, Ala.. October 4. —Yes-
terday in the company's office. Rail
road tracks and Twentieth street, a
meeting of the stockholders of the Ala
bama Great Southern railway company
was held. The meeting was very brief,
not lasting over thirty minutes.
When the meeting was called to or
der a vote was cast for a board of di
rectors. Here a split came, and one
that is likely to bring about some
changes. The Greenough faction voted
for the re-election of the old board of
directors, while the other faction voted
for anew one. The opposition wanted
a board in which a majority of the
members were Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton people.
While a little squabbling was going
on a bomb went off that blasted the
movements of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton faction. The bomb was in
the shape of an injunction issued by
Judge Bruce and served by United
States Deputy Marshal L. B. Musgrove.
The injunction was served on the in
spectors of the election. W. M. Ramsey
and J. Howard Taylor, restraining
them from casting any illegal votes,
such being offered for Alfred Sully,
General Kimmerman, M. D. Woodford,
Henry F. Shoemaker, 11. A. Taylor and
J. 11. Taylor, as directors, as none of
them were stockholders in the Alabama
Great Southern company. The laws of
the state require that a person must
first be a stockholder before he is eligi
ble to election as a member of the di
rectory.
The inspectors agreed to obey the in
junctions, when the meeting adjourned
sine die. This made the old board hold
over, which is 11. D. Browns, Francis
l’avy, A. 15. Abraham, G. W. Medley.
Ed Lauterbach, C. S. Brice, John
Greenough, C. C. Harqey and S. M.
Felton, five Englishmen and six Ameri
cans.

THE OLYMPIC’S BELT AWARD.
Bat Corbett Decides to Figlit Before the
Letter Readies Him.
New Orleans, October 4. —The fol
lowing telegram has been sent by the
Olympic club:
To James J. Corbett. Boston. Mass.;
At a regular meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Olympic Club, held Tuesday, Octo
ber 2d, 1894. a resolution was passed unani
mously declaring Robert 4 itzsiinmons the
champion heavy-weight of the world, and ho
will be compelled to defend the title against
the best man that can be found in the world.
The board of directors were compelled to take
this action on account of your persistent re
fusal to meet Robert Fitzsimmons, who had
complied with every requirement and the sub
terfuge you resorted to in causing O'Donnell to
challenge Fitzsimmons is not worthy of con
sideration. It was in the Olympic Club
that the heavy-weight championship of the
world was lost by John Lawrence Sullivan and
won by you and it is now within the province
and the duty of the Olympic Club to declare
Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavy
weight of the world.
(Signed) William A. Schocl.
President Olympic Club.
A similar message was sent to Robert
Fitzsimmons at Newark, N. J., notify
ing him of the club's action, and that
he will defend the champion heavy
weight title in the month of February,
1895, agdinst the best man that can be
found in the world.
DEMPSEY, THE MIDDLEWEIGHT.
Wants to Defend the Title Against Any
Any Pugilist Living.
New Orleans, October 4. —The fol
lowing explains itself :
•‘Sporting Editor, the Daily Item :
Dear Sir: Judging from the tone of
Mr. Fitzsimmons letter in the morning
papers, I take it for granted that he
has relinquished the title of middle
weight"ehampionsliip. If this be so, I
hold myself ready to defend that title.
I will meet any man in the world at
154 pounds and as a token of good faith,
I deposit in your hands the enclosed
cliek of SSOO.
(Signed) John E. Dempsey.
CORBETT DECIDES TO FIGHT.
Will Meet Bob Fitsiinmons for the Cham
pionship of tlie World.
New York, October 4.—The morning
papers announce JJiat James J. Corbett
has changed his mind about, fighting
“Bob" Fitzsimmons for the champion

his objection to meeting middle- weights
and has announced his intention of cov
ering Fitzsimmons' money now held by
the sporting editor of the Herald, and
he will be in the city to make the. match
one week from today. Corbett’s action
in receding from the position he as
sumed Monday is a great surprise to

low i reason of this ffonderfiil Business is:
[ 00R GOODS ARE BOUGHT RIGHT.]
The old saying : “Goods well bought are half sold,”
is as true as gospel.
Our Three Buyers have Returned from the Eastern Markets,

HJU&SXXOS

|> Mr. Hampton Daughtry to "buy Clothing, Gent’s Furnishings, &c <|

3> Mr. R. L. Daughtry as our general buyer. .
With these experienced buyers in the great markets guided by Mr. K. L. Daugh
try, who is better posted and more familiar with selecting and buying goods for
this market than any man in this country, to sa) we have the right sort ot goods at
the right sort of prices, is expressing it but tamely. Never in the mercantile his
tory of Middle Georgia has such a stock of goods, for quality and prices, ever been
offered to the trading public. Our large store rooms are tilled Irom one end to
the other, and piled almost to the top of the house with goods that are adapted to
to the wants of the people, and with prices that no competition can equal.
Remember Our motto is: “Goods well bought are
Goods half sold.” These words we keep
before Our Buyers all the Time.
Anybody can go to market, \Gio has good credit, and buy a stock of goods,
tit up their house and then advertise and blow big, but the question is have they
got the light sort of goods at the right kind of prices. Ah! heie is where the
“rub comes,” and right here is wheie we want you to stick a pin. It repuires
tact, taste, knowledge, experience, nerve and cash to bny a stock of goods properly.
Others may advertise great things, talk and
MAKE A Biff NOISE.,
But remember tve have got the goods, and all at bottom prices and we are going
to dj the business
We Know times are hard, and Cotton low.
But our goods are all marked down to hard time prices. When you visit Jackson
