The public school tickets pre
pared for the negroes Wednesday
woro laughable. Both Hudson and
Murray men woro supplying them,
tud tile public school hud about as
much to do with it as it did With
tht state election.
Wo are sorry to learn of the de
struction by lire of Mr. J. R.
Boyd’s residence in Leary last
Wednesday. Mr. Boyd has rela
tives and frionds in Americus who
will sympathize with • him in hia
loss. ,
and good humor prevailed. Very
few drooken men were seen, and
not an arrest was made daring the
entire day.
The light here was for tho negro
vote,and both financial and moral
inducements were held out to the
dusky freedmau. Money was spent
freely nnd without stint, and this
morning Snmter county is about
$500 better off in the way of get
ting the colored voters tax. Chal
lenges were frequent, as BilljGuer-
ry and Henry Johnson were armed
with bundles of old tax ft fas, and
woe to the man who tried to vote
without having his back rations
paid np.
About lour o'clock the returns
began coming in from the country
precincts. They were brought by
private parties, and may not be
j exactly correct, fbe first to be
interest | hoard from was the 17th district,
which gave Hudson 4! votes and
and Murray 3G. Then u telegram
was received from Marshallville
giving Murray 85 and Hudson 19
Then the news was brought from
Bumpbead, Hudson’s distriet in
Schley, giving Hudson 104, and
Murray 6. A report reached here
that Andersonville had gone 30
lor Murray and 28 for Hudson-
Old 20th, Hudson 107, Murray 28,
New 20th, Hudson 40, Murray 30.
At seven o'clock wc received
the following from our Montezu
ma correspondent:
“Murray’s vote at thfs place is
223, Hudson 24. Marsballvillo-
Murray 85, Hudson not stated.
Murray ahead at Oglethorpe. The
county will give Murray 600 ms-
jorily. S*. H. D."
At 8:55 the vote of thi3 city hail
been counted, with tile following
resu it:
The boring of this well has
demonstrated that an 'artesian
stream flows under A met ions, for
at a depth between 600 and 700
foet a stream was struck whicli
rose in the casing to within thirty
feet of the surface. Had the well
been sunk on the level with the
railroad ttaak, it would have risen
to the surface. From the depth at
which the stream was found it
would seem to be the same stream
which supplies the wells at Albany
and Montezuma. Mr. Brush thinks
that if a stream is not found that
will force its way to llu surface,
Americus can secure a fine stream
by boring at some lower point, the
water from which could be forced
up to the elevation of the square
by means of a hydraulic press.
We are not sufficiently versant
with the contract between the City
Council and Mr. Brush to oiler any
opinion, but we hope matters will
either be carried on in the present
location or boriug be commenced
at some other point.

The Biggest and Best.
The Atlanta Constitution on
Wednesday made good its claim to
greatness and goodness by issuing
a forty-four page edition of 51,000
copies, in whicli is contained an
exposition of Georgia’s financial,
mechanical, commercial and agri
cultural resources. It is a mam
moth exhibition of newspaper
enterprise sad is calculated to re
flect credit not only upon the pro
prietor* and editors ot tbe Consti
tution, but upon Georgia and tbe
whole 8outb. It doa’t make much
difference, altar suob an exhibition,
whether Georgia is .represented at
New Orleans or not, as all tbe
world and tbo rest of mankind wilt
know that Georgia is tbe banner
State of the South.
