Allen D. I Candler is concerned, has been purely I conducted io this county and tbe vin I dication of tbe methods employed by hie co-workers wm freely given at the ■ polls yesterday. E As we have contended, tbe county K would go as It has, and our position f has been justified by tbe legal voters | of the county alter the most rigid reg- f istration that was ever known in this section. Ao the retains came in last night a stereoptican gave out tbe results and | At was loudly applauded. The majorities could not be learned Hast night neither could tbe vote for tetate bouse officers be ascertained. We give as clcse as we could gather last night the majority for Candler io the different districts, with two to bear from: Africa—Berner, 38; Candler, 90. Orrs—Berner, 20; Candler, 14. Cabins—Berner’s majority, 12. ? Union—Candler, 50; Berner, 31. Mt. Zion—Candler’s majority, 12. Griffin—Candler, 152; Berner, 124. Candler’s majority in. tbe aix dis* tricta heard from is 93. Line Creek and Akins have not been beard from but they will not materially change Candler's majority. Through a telephone message re ceived last night from tbe Atlanta .Journal at a late hour it was learned .that “Candler is carrying the state ’like a cyclone, and Cook and Stevens in advance with a close race between ’Turner and Renfroe.” Tbe Call is satisfied with tbe result *4o Spalding county and feole assured ■that tbe time will come when it can he said in every election of impor tance: “As goes Spalding, so goes the alate.” Thia will prove true io this contest beyond tbe shadow of a doubt, and Hon. Allen D. Candler will be tbe next governor el Georgia. Tbe re turns from all over tbe stale at a late hour last night indicate as much. Free Pills. Bend your address to H. E.

Notwithstanding yesterday was elec tion day, little was heard of politics in tbe camp. Tbe Macon companies bad made arrangements with the executive committee df Bibb county to have their voles cast in camp and the re turns cent to Macon to be consolida ted. However, this passed off very quietly. The men voted and returned to their tents, where they bad been since their long march in tbe early morning. The tegular march of yesterday morniqg was unusually long and the men were required to double quick a great deal. They were throughly tired when they reached their quarters on the isturn and little else was done during tbe day until the battalion drill in tbe afternoon. The new tents arrived yesterday morning and were immediately un loaded ipto the quarter masters de partment. They will be substituted fort be old ones as early as convenient. There is considerable comment among the officers io camp regarding certain articles being published by newspapers throughout tbe state about the poor rations the men are receiv ing. Some my the men are starving and as a consequence organizations are being formed all over th< state to send boxes to tbe soldiers. These are appreciated and come in very nice but tho men are not starv ing, nor are they wanting for anything to eat.

A Twelvc-Ysar Old Boy Shoots a Companion. News reached this city yesterday morning of a sad accident which oc curred at Mo Williams’ Mill, about six teen miles south of Griffin, Sunday af ternoon. Several boys of that neighborhood were bathing in tl e poud, among tho number being Hiram Giasier and John Neely, both about 12 years of age. Hiram came out of the water before his other comrades and after dressing picked up a pistol belonging to some of the party and extracted, as ha thought, all the cartridges from the weapon. As John Neely stepped out of tbe .water and started to where his clothes jvere lying, Hiram pointed the pistol at him and pulled the trigger. There was a loud report and bis little com rade fell dead at bis feet without so much as uttering a groan. The ballJ entered the right and passed entirely through the braio, causing instaot death. ■ r. . ’« Hiram was wild with grief when he realized that be bad accidentally taken the life of bis friend, and the whole community is mourning over the un timely death of one of its brightest and most beloved boys The Santiago Heroes. Tbe navy, in the present war, ia sustaining its brilliant reputation made in previous wars. Its history is a glorious one, full of each deeds of daring as make the hearts of Amer icano thrill with pride. Only a few days dgo Admiral Dewey won a victory in Manila harbor which excited the ad miration of the civilised world. On Friday, in Santiago harbor, there was performed a deed of daring and hero ism which will take a place in history alongside of the most glorious deeds of our navy. It was a deeff’Whieh compelled the Spanish admiral, Car ver*, who io bottled up iu Beatjago harbor, to pay tribute to Amerieau courage and heroism—the trißMh which a brave man ia always ready to pay to true courage wherever found. Our dispatches yesterday morning gave an account of the oinking of the Merrimac, a coal ship, in tbe harbor of Santiago. It was not clear from the dispatches whether the Merrimac was sunk by order of Admiral Sampson or, having been sent to find out the posi tion of the mines in the harbor, was sunk by a Spanish torpedo. Our dis patches this morning make it clear that tbe Merrimac was sent into the harbor and sunk for the purpose of obstructing tbe channel, and prevent ing the escape of the Spanish squad ron. And who are tbe eight men who guided the coal ship into the channel —who took their lives ip their bands, as it were, in order to carry into effect tbe plans of Admiral Sampson f We do not know tbe names of tbe eeamen, but that of tbe officer in command is Lieut. Hobson. Tbe names of tbe seamen will soon be known through out tbe world. All volunteered for that special service, and no one of them had reason to expect that be would escape death. They were to guide the coal ship directly under tbe guns of tbe forte, and sink her in the narrow channel. That they accom plished their mission successfully in tbe midst of a shower of shot and shell and escaped with their lives— rowing directly from tbe wreck to tbe flagship of tbe Spanish sdmiral—bor dem on the marvelous. Tbe world admired tbe courage with which the Spaniards stood by their guns at Manila until their ships were wrecked by flames or sank be neath the waters of the harbor, but these men who carried the Merrimac into tbe jaws of death were heroes such as the world bolds aloft as exam ples and remembers.—Savannah News.
