Atlanta, Nov. 19.—To-day In Joint session the vote for United State* Senator was consolidated. The Senate vote stands: Gordon 35, Norwood 7, Calhoun 6, Hines 3, Hammond 2, 8. H. Hawkins 1. The House vote stands: Gordon 07, Norwood 38, Calhoun 10, Hines 10, Hammond 7. Consolidated: Gordon 122, Nor wood 43, Calhoun 25, Hines 18, Hammond 0, Hawkins 1. President Watchell announced that John B. Gordon,'having re ceived a majority of the |votes cast in each house, was duly elected Senator for the term beginning March 4th, 1891, and continuing for 6 years. A notable thing about this elec tion Is the general good humor that prevails. There were plenty of anti-Gordon men yesterday before dinner, but they are very scarce to day. “Oh, well,” they say, “I voted against him yesterday, “but I’m a Gordon man now.” LEGISLATIVE ROUTINE. The Benate, “that honorable body,” etc., had little or no new matter Introduced to-day. Three bills of a general nature were Intro duced. By Senator Eason, of the 2nd, to prohibit the runnlg of ex- curslon trains on Sunday, and de scribing what shall be known as excursion trains. By Harp, of the 24tb, to prescribe and make certain the fees of olerks and sheriff* of Superior courts in the matter of di vorce salts. Lane, of the 18th, providing for a board of equaliza tion of real and personal property subject to taxation In this State- corresponding to the board of tax assessors, now had in several of the oltles of the State. IN TIIB HOUSE. The bouse do work! Lectured Crawford, the colored brother from McIntosh, got In a new bill to-day. This Is the first time that either one of the negroes have been heard from, exoept now and then a motion to adjourn, Gilbert, of Muscogee, Introduced bill to amend Sec. 8245 of the Code so as to hold speolal terms of Superior oourts for disposing of civil case*. Several other new bills were In troduced. White, of Hart, to amend See 8864 of the Code, making the wife competent to testify against her husband for any orlmnal offense made or alleged “upon her proper ty,” as well as upon her person, Also, to prescribe three years as the time of residence or applicants for dlvoroe. And a great number of local bills. Quite a number of bills were read the second or third time. There was a local option skirmish this morning over a bill by Maxwell, of Talbert. It was a quasi-victory for the local optlonlsts, the bill be ing recommitted with Instructions to Insert a clause proteotlcg local aot on this matter. The ball of representatives was turned over for to-night to the W C. T. U. The speakers are Mrs. Mary La- throp, of Michigan, and Mrs Clara C. Hoffman of Missouri. To-morrow night Mrs. Mary A. Hunt, also of the W. C. T. U., will deliver an address In the hall of representatives. She is superin tendent of scientific instructions of the order. Then on the 27th the legislators are going in a body to Mllledgevllle to take part in the exercises at the laying of the cornerstone of the Girl's Normal and Industrial Col lege. A committee on adjournment was appointed this morning, to look into the business before the general asxembly, and to come before It, and to fix a time for adjournment. Mr. Bolfeutllet, of Bibb, Intro duced a bill this morning at the re quest of the Georgia Teacher* Asso ciation; one important feature in whloh 1* to pay teachers quarterly; and also to enfoce the law that the common school fund shall not at any time be diverted to other purposes. The W. C. T. U. and the National Grange both adjourned to-day; the W. C. T. U. delegates are going to Indian Sprln gs, to look after the es tablishment there of an Inebriate asylum; the 'granger* are going home. Now that they are gone, and the Senatorial eleotlon over, the city drops back into Its customary even tenor. I noticed the "sick list” of yes terday—the day of the election- pretty well represented In the House to-day. It happens that there wore no “sick” people In the Senate, as the result there was certain. But quite a number of repre sentatives were “sick” yesterday— not seriously, it seems, for they were all on baud to-day. It would be unkind to intimate that these gentlemen went bom to keep from voting yesterday. They were “sick" yesterdayand well to-day. AKIN’S POETRY. T. Warren Akin, “of the sev enth,” will be remembered as one of the speakers at the artesian well last night. He captured the orowd with his paraphrase of the old nursery rhyme: “Pat Calhoun! Pat Calhoun I Maonne’s man. Bake him In the oven as fast you can, Pat him and bake him And keep him for tea, He’ll make a good breakfast For Gordon and me.” It’s the go now, like Annie Rooney was, and the Golden Stairs used to be; and the refrain of the hotel gossips now is “Pat Calhoun eto.” Attention, Voters! I am a candidate for Tax Re ceiver, and if elected promise to faithfully and conscientiously dis charge the duties of the offloe, respectfully request you to vote for me on Friday, the 21st Inst. Hav ing moved away from the county several years ago, and only return ed to it a year ago, I have missed seeing some of my old friends, but hope they will remember me on that day. Yours truly, Dr. W. H. Bailey, Friendship, Ga. THE PRIMARY TO-MORROW. County Officers Will be nominated by the Party. To-morrow the various races for county officers will be terminated, And there will be several defeated candidates. For almost every position there is opposition, and a great deal of work has been done by all parties interested. In some of the contestr, the race will be dose, and the outcome is watohed with a great deal of Inter est. On account of the national election, and that of United States Senator which absorbed most of the attention of the people, there has been little talk of our county election exoept by those personally Interested, but yesterday things began to liven up considerably, and to-day will be a very hot one. It Is the last day before the eleotlon comes off, and the candidates will all work hard for success. The petition signed by every can didate and handed In to ’the execu tive committee requesting .that the hours for ballottlng In the dty be changed has not yet been acted upon owing to the absence of many of the committee, but there is little doubt about its being granted. The hours will probably bejfrom 8 a. m, to 6 p.m., thus giving mechanics and all au easy opportunity to vote. A prediction oannot be ventured as to the probable (fortunate can didates, but the people will be con tent with any one of them. They are all good and able men and the affairs of the county will be safe in the hands of any one of them. The Davenport Drug Company have made a large purohase of W. W. C., Woldrldge’s Wonderful Cure, the greatest Blood Purifier and family medicine now on the market, for the purpose of supply ing the trade throughout this sec tion. Send them your orders, and eavelrslghta from distant point*. A Cordtle K. of P. Lodce, A K. of P. Lodge was organised under flattering elronmstanoes in Cordele Tuesday night. It begins with a* fine a body of men as ever Joined together. Messrs. M.B. Mitchell and W. K. Wheatley went down from Americus to assist in the initia ting. When medicine Is given a ohlld, parents like to feel it is a safe and proper one. Much a remedy Is Dr, Bull’s Worm Destroyers. AND THUS DAWSON GROWS. Two Ways for a Town to Boom—“J. A JV* la Now Perfeotly Happy—The News In Dawson. Dawson, Nov. 19.—I said In my letter last week that there was but the “one thing needful” to com plete my happiness, *nd,JI believed that of a large majority of the voters of Terrell county, and that was the eleotlon of Gov. J. B. Gor don to the U. B. Senate. That was accomplished yesterday on the first ballot, just as I hoped and ex- peoted, and I am completely happy. I also said that I still believed that the Alilancemen would assist in electing him and thereby share In the honor; and that’s exaotiy wbat they did, and their action was wise and patriotlo, and I am very sure that they will never have cause to regret it. This may be considered a defeat to the Atlanta Constitu tion and to a few of the leader* of the Alliance. But to the Farmers’ Alliance itself I consider it an hon est victory. It proves that the bone and sinew of the Alliance oannot be bribed to do wrong—cau- not be bought and sold at will, but will dare to do right. Aa long as this Is the case many {thousands who do not and cannot beloug to their order will go hand in band with them and bid them God speed. Everybody In the olty were In a provoking state of suspense till 8 o’oloek p. m., when Mr. Lowry re ceived a telegram from Judge Guerry giving the good news, whloh soon spread throughout the olty. Laat night the old oannon, hleh haa been doing duty In cele brating vtotorlea here forfmauy years, was brought out and fired a number of times amid yells and a general display of fireworks. To night this will be repeated on a large scale, the town and oonntry joining in a grand Jubilee. My throat Is somewhat sore from over-exorclse laat night, bnt I will risk making it worse by yell ing once more at the end of tbli Item—“Hurrah for Gordon!” len. Mr. J. A. Horsley has retired from mercantile business, and will devote his time, talents and capi tal In dealing In real estate. Judge J. H. Guerry, Judge R. F. Simmons and Mayor W. B. Cheat ham went to Atlanta lastMooday to assist In electing Gov. Gordon U. S. Senator. Mr. T. A. Cheatham and family, of Macon, are visiting relatives in this city. The beautiful Miss Alice. Glaze, of Sbellman. has seoured the posi tion of muslo teacher In our Col lege. Mrs. S. B, Bostwlok, of Stewart county, and her son, Henry, are visiting the city, the guests of Mrs. E. P. Keniday. I don’t want to make the opposi tion feel badly, but I must say once more, Hurrah for Senator Gordon! J. A. F. PERSONALS. Hon. S. B. Cnrlstle has pur chased from Mr. J. R. Mercer, the two brlok stores ooenpled-by W. T. dUott and A. P. Hatcher, and the brick building from W. R. Baldwin Bow occupied by the poatoffloe and express office, for which he paid 18,000 eaoh. A year ago these stores were estimated to be worth $2,000 i, and I believe a year henoe they will be valued at $4,000 each Thus we grow. r. Christie not only Invested $0,060 In real estate, but at the tame time he and Mrs. Christie added beautiful baby boy to their already very Intereating family. And thus we grow. On Thursday and Friday nights, Deo. the 4th and 5tb, the ladles of the Methodist churoh will give a big festival for the benefit of the ohurob.

The car waa Just turning the curve of Forsyth and Lee streets, when the motor man feeling a Job- tie and hearing something sorape the track, qutekly stopped the ear. Investigating, he found a large, •toot stiok. so arranged with rooks as to esslest throw the oar from the trsok. But for th* foot' that the track waa siiok at th# point where srrauged,andJkllowed the atlek to be slipped partially off, an acoldeut could not have failed to be the re sult. As It was, a little shake waa given the >p*ssengers, enough', to startle them. Such a trick as this can not be too; strongly condemed. It was evidently done to throw the. oar from the track, which, had it been •aoeesatnl, would have resulted in damage to property and possibly prraonal Injury. Superintendent Rees has his ayes open, and will use every endeavor to find out the perpetrators. PorBent. One three-room honse on Forrest street. Mrs. M. T. Elah.
