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.

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 The Presbyterian Entertainment.
