Clifford Walker won a wonderful victory over Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, carrying more than 100 counties and leading by a wide margin in the county unit vote in the convention. One of the most astonishing results of the entire gov ernor’s race was the tremendous vote for Walker in Lamar county, Hardwick carrying Lamar, according to the unof ficial returns, by 22 votes, when ten days ago it was pre dicted that Walker would not get over 100 votes in the county, as no work had been done here for him. As the day for the primary approached, however, it began to, dawn upon everybody that Walker was going to make a good race in the county. The harder Hardwick’s friends worked, apparently, the larger grew Walker’s vote. Walker’s victory is one of the greatest achievements in the political history of Georgia. He is an ideal Christian gentleman and is worthy the great honor which the citi zens of this great state have paid him in selecting him for their governor. Because of the issues involved in the campaign we believe Georgia is to be heartily congratu lated in Mr. Walker’s nomination. Incomplete returns indicate the election of Brown for commissioner of agriculture, Duggan for school superin tendent, Judge Fish over Judge Russell, Davison for prison commissioner, and Johnson ahd Perry for railroad commissioners. WISE RE-ELECTED Congressman J. W. Wise was accorded one gf the great est tributes ever paid a candidate for congress in Georgia b}' the victory which he has won in the Sixth district. He carried overwhelmingly every county in the district ex cept Spalding and he received a very large vote in Spald ing. Congressman Wise is a man who holds in an un usual degree the confidence and affection of the people and his vote is exceedingly gratifying to him and his thousands of friends. / COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DEFEATED One of the hottest contests in Lamar was over the rati fication or rejection of the “Commissioners and county manager” bill. The advocates of the bill have conducted one of the most active and strenuous campaigns for weeks and they used every argument possible, fair or unfair, to influence voters, whereas nothing against the bill was done until the day before and during the day of the election, when a few people took an interest in the proposition. Unofficial returns indicate the bill has been defeated by something like 200 majority out of about 850 votes polled. Barnesville, Redbone and Johnstonville voted against the bill and Unionville and Milner for it, while Piedmont split with 5 and 5, only 10 votes being cast there. MONDAY’S GOLDEN RULE SALE Barnesville’s Tenth Golden Rule Sale was held Monday, with probably the smallest crowd present since these sales began nearly a year ago. This was perhaps due to the fact that many citizens spent the past week in Barnesville attending court. A number of merchants did a pret ty nice business, which was confined largely to the city patronage. A number of merchants had offerings which specially appealed to trade at this season and these did a fairly, good business. The farmers brought in and sold about SIOO.OO worth of chickens,! which brought a fair price and which proved profitable to those who sold them. There were not many other articles brought in and offered for sale. The members of the advertising club were not very much disappointed over the j result of Monday’s sale under all the condiiions which existed and they hope to see the next ones more suc cessful because of the improved con ditions which ane expected to take place because of the harvesting of the season’s crops. MR. MILNER IMPROVING •T" many friends of Mr. Polk Mil ner will be glad to learn that he- was able to be down town one day last week shaking hands with a few friends.
