HON. JOSEPH M. TERRELL WINS.
Atlanta, Ga., Jane 6.—Terrell claims two hundred votes snre
in the convention. Estill may carry fifty counties, and Guerry is
running in third place with fifteen or sixteen counties. There is
no doubt of Terrell’s election on the first ballot. Merritt wins for
State School Commissioner over Glenn, and will probably be
nominated oQ first ballot. -
Hon. John W. Bennett received the following telegram from
Hon. J. M. Terrell this afternoon:
“My nomination is absolutely assured on first ballot.”
J. M. Terrell.
Bailey’s Lumber Mills
at McDonald destroyed by fire
THIS AFTERNOON.
Friday', daily.
A telegraphic message from
McDonald, Ga., received in this
city at 1 o’clock, states that the
big lumber mill of J. S. Baily &
Co., at that place was burning.
A later dispatch stated that the
entire plant was burned to the
ground.
Owing to the great excitement
m the little town,'the Harald
could not learn any particutlars
of the fire,- beyond the fact that
nearly everything was a total
loss.
Mr. J. S. Bailey was at
McDonald at the time of the fire,
and is expected here this after*
noon, when full particulars can
be learned. The plant was in
sured for $22,000 and its value
is variously estimated at from
$75,000 to $150,000.
Mr. Bailey’s partner in the
mill was Mr. C. L. Thigpen.
, Taejr Were Hungry For the News,
A large crowd of citizens as
sembled at the Herald office last
night to get the election news.
About eight o’clock the tele
grams began to arrive and they
came thick and fast nntil nearly
midnight- In less than an hour
however after the dispatches be
gan to arrive, it became certain
that Mr. Terrell had carried the
State. The Estill and Gnerry
men took it good natoredly and
did not >fiil to cheer when it was
announced that a county' had
gone for the man of their choice.
The service furnished by the
Herald was very complete and
correct even if it did hot give
general satisfaction.
HsbMB 1IIU Has Far Beasts.
Montgomery, All., Jnno A—A .pe
dal from Greensboro, Ala., asp.:
‘■It la snthoritativalj announced to
day that Captain Richmond P. Hobson,
U. S. H., will return to this city and
ran for the Alabama Sonata from lb la
district at tha next election."
Parker Elected Judge.
Hon. Simon W. Hitch, of Way-
cross, was defeated for the
judgeship of the Brunswick Cir
cuit yesterday by Judge T. A-
Parker, of Baxley. Col. Hitch’s
majority in Ware county was
over 600, but this number could
not overcome the majority of
Judge Parker in almost every
other county in tbe district.
Last night it was believed that
Judge Parker had carried Clinch
county, but a telegram today
stated that Col. Hitch's majority
in this county is 82. ,
KeprrMntallres Vain to be Recounted,
Tbe Democratic Executive
Committee of Ware county was
requested by Col. W. M. Toomer
last Friday to recount the votes
in the representative race. Mr.
Toomer’s request was not intend
ed ns a contest, bat was mado
only on account of the very close
vote in the county. He has been
assured thnt some Illegal votes
have been cast both in Waycross
and in some of the other pre
cincts. It may be that somo
registered voters have voted twice
and other ballots that were not
cast by registered voters have
been counted. Tbe committee
will probably set a time within
the nextgday or two when the
votes will be rebounted.J S3

tha superior court at Quebec, by
hsbew corpus can lawfully taka

leeecd the warrant upon which the
