Representative E. B. Lewis.
Asaiu it is Congressman E. B. Lewis, of the Third district of Georgia,
•'ho for unother term will ably and honestly represent this district in the low
er house, as he has done for two terms already.
Such was the voice of the people as expressed 'in uo uncertain manner at
•he polls yesterday.
Tlirou^hont the 111 counties comprising the Third district of Georgia the bat
tle of ballots was fonght to a conclusion, though in some of these the Lewis
•orces were massed in such cumbers as to make the tight a skirmish only.
In several of these counties it was a complete walk-over for the man from
Macon.
I’veil us early as 3 p. m. came the gratifying news that assured Mr Lewis’
aomiuatiou beyond a shadow of doubt, if any doubt ever existed.
Macon, Dooly, Houston, Pulaski, Wilcox, Schley, Crawford, Taylor and
Twi^s were then reported very safe for Kepresentative Lewis.
< >tber counties in the district bad not reported here up to that hour, though
the news came later as given below:
The result of yesterday s contest was an endorsement of the four years re-
eor.l of Hepresentative LewiB and a just rebuke to the detestable methods

Heartless Mother Had Abandoned Her
little One.
Another story, of heartless crnelty
and depravity ia being nnraveled by
the polioe department here; a story of
some mother who has abandoned her
little month old babe to negroes.
The child, aheahhy boy, is now at
the home of Archie Lowe, a very
worthy colored citizen, and is being
cared for by Lowe's wife until some
disposition can be made of it. In the
meantime the police will exhanst every
effort to find the woman who brought
the little one there.
The babe came from some point
down the Central, below Americas.
A strange negro woman, arriving
hero on the 9:54 night train, carried
the babe to a negro bonse, asking them
to care for it nntil she conld go to a
chnrch near by and find her people.
The child remained there all night,
the woman failing to return. Next
day she came for it and left it at the
house of Green Watts, colored, telling
him another plausible story. She then
disappeared and has not since been
seen, having probably gone back to
her borne, wherever that may be.
This old conple, being unable to
keep the child, it was given over to the
care of Archio Lowe and wife.
The ebild ia undoubtedly white, and
has fine, jet black hair and piercing
black eyes. It will probably be al
lowed to remain in the care of Archie
Lowe and wife nntil officers who are
working upon the case can locate the
inhuman mother who deserted it and
restore it to her keeping.
