DECEMBER 29, 1899. Fain, Jones and McElreath Were NmnliiMiisl ft>r Oily Last 8a*urtlay.—Quiet Flection. The primary held last, Saturday to nominate three aldermen Cordele and to elect a city tive committee was perhaps the most quiet municipal election ever held in Cordele. A total of only 208 votes were polled, which wag much below a normal vote. Six candidates were in the race for aldermanic honors. Mr. J. B.Faiu, Col. J. G. Jones and Dr. T. P McElreath received the highest vote, as the following count shows: J. B. Fain. 121. J. G. Jones, 117. T. P. McElreath, 102. J. M. Cox, 95. W. B. Marshall, 90. Z. A. Bolton, 85. For executive committee, Mr. C. B. Bowen led the race, receiv ing 200 of the 208 vote* polled. The following are the names of the new executive committee: C. B. Bowen. Col. W. 8. Thomson. J. A. Lasseter. B. H. Palmer. W. H. McKenzie. The newly elected aldermen said in their announcement card that “if elected to serve the city as aldermen at the regular election to be held for that purpose in January, 1900, we will endeavor to work for the best interests of the city, knowing no special class or faction, but for the good of the greatest number and for the pro gress and upbuilding of our city.” It is also stated that the newly elected executive committee were selected from among those who have taken little or no stand in factional differences heretofore existing in Cordele municipal affairs. The significance of the election, if any, ia therefore said to be favorable to no more dis graceful factional differences in Cordele, and that the majority of our people favor those who an nounce that they “will know no faction” in discharging their duty. The nominees will be elected on the 2nd Wednesday in next, without opposition, will not be repeated this year least. Eatonton, Ga., ( January 30, 1899. ) Messrs. H. J.
