MONTGOMERY
FOR UNDERWOOD
A Light Vote is Polled, But
Sentiment Favors the
Alabamian.
The vote in the presidential
primary on Wednesday last was
light in Montgomery county, the
total vote being only about 484.
There was some delay in get
ting in some of the precinct re
turns, but the best report obtain
able shows a majority of ten for
Uunderwood.
As Georgia went for Under
wood, by a majority of over 14,-
000, delegates from among his
supporters will be chosen from
all the counties, and they must
be named before the 22d.
Col. Graham For Judge.
The announcement of Col. E.
D. Graham of Mcßae as a candi
date for Judge of the Superior
court of this circuit appears in
this issue of The Tirnes-Journal.
Col. Graham is universally es
teemed as one of the ablest at
torneys of the Circuit, and is
personally very popular with the
people. He has been solicitor
general for several years and has
filled this position with remarka
ble ability. Should he be elevat
ed to the judgeship we believe
that he would make an official
record in that position that would
be highly satisfactory to the peo
ple and that would reflect credit
upon both himself and the court.

STEALS A HORSE
EOR MEANNESS
Rogue Takes Horse and
Buggy for Purpose of
Destroying Property.
A mysterious and unusual case
of horse stealing' occurred here
Thursday night. Some vandal,
evidently not desiring any profit
by the theft, took the horse, bug
gy and harness belonging to Mr.
J. B. Brewton from his father’s
stables at the U. B. 1., and the
outfit was found in Vidalia the
next day. The name of “Hicks
Bros.” on a paper led to tele
phone inquiries here, and Mr.
Brewton soon recovered the
horse. But the harness had
[been maliciously cut to pieces,
and the buggy placed on the
tracks of the; M. I). & S. rail
road, where it was demolished
by a passing freight.
The whole allair points to a
dastardly piece of malicious mis
chief scarcely equalled in this
section before. A white man
giving his name as “Bud McAr
thur” appeared at the home of
Warren Crawley at Mt. Vernon
depot .just before the crime was
j perpetrated, having a number of
pistols and a belt filled with
catridges, and departing in the
direction of I he Institute grounds,
is about the only clew to the iden
tity of the vandal.
BLACKBERRY CROP
TO BE A BUMPER
Thomasville, Ga., May 5. —It
is said that there will be the fin
< I crop of blackberries here this
season that has been known in
several years. The very dry
weather for the last year or two
cut off this crop very much and
had the effect besides of making
what berries there were very
hard and dry. The average
j South Georgia housewife doesn’t
find anything to take the place
lof blackberries for preserving,
canning and making jelly and is
of course; rejoiced at the prospect
of a bountiful supply this season,
ft is said there are still a few of
these good housewives who keep
to tic; old time plan of putting
up a litLle blackberry wine, hold
ing in higher esteem the advice
of St. Paul in the matter of tak
ing a little wine than they do any
laws devised by the Georgia leg
islators. Os course no mere man
would be brave enough to olTer
any expostulation in this regard,
as many of the fair sex feel that
having no voice in making laws
they are privileged to break one
when it doesn’t suit them.
