Dr. Lamartine G. Hardman, of
Commerce, who swept the State in
Wednesday’s run-over election, de
cisively defeating his opponent,‘
‘Hon. John N. Holder. ) ‘
THE MONTICELLO NEWS
A business deal of interest to the
people of this section was the trans
fer Thursday morning of the owner
ship of the Cawthon Restaurant to
I Mr. Chas A. Tingle, of this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Cawthon have made
no plans for the future, but it is
hoped that they will remain in Monti
cello.
The Cawthon Restaurant is one of
the most up-to-date and popular
feeding places in Middle Georgia.
It goes without saying that it will
sustain its splendid reputation for
cleanliness and quick service under
the management of Mr. Tingle, who,
we understand, will be assisted ably
by his wife and son, Mr. Grady Tin
gle.
l Will Rogers, internationally known
humorist, will pay his first visit to
'central Georgia on Saturday, Oc
tober 16. Accompanied by a male
quartette known as the De Reszke
Singers, Mr. Rogers will appear at
the new Municipal Auditorium in
‘Macon for one performance, begin
ning at 8:30 p. m. The visit will be
under the auspices of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Due somewhat to the articles
which he has recently contributed to
The Saturday Evening Post, Mr.
Roger’s work is well known in Monti
cello. He is also author of a weekly
article syndicated through a num
ber of large newspapers, and has to
his credit one book. “The Illiterate
Digest.” His type of humor con
sists of witty “wise-cracks” on events
of the day. He has gained such fame
for his brilliance that the Prince of
Wales, on his last visit to New York
expressed a specific desire to meet
the comedian. ,
Throughout the summer that is
just ending, Mr. Rogers has been in
England, working in a motion pic
ture with Dorothy Gish and appear
ing in a London music hall, It is
even claimed that he 'has made
chewing-gum popular among the
Britons,—for Mr. Rogers, coming to
| the New York stage several years
ago from a cowboy’s career in Okla
home, brought his lariat and his wad
of Juicy Fruit along with his shrewd
native wit.
Prices for thes Macon engagement
range from sl.lO for unreserved
seats, to $1.65 and $2.20 (including
war-tax) for reserved places. Mail
orders for tickets will be received at
the Auditorium Box-Office in Ma
con, beginning October 11.
Commenting on the humorist’s
forthcoming visit to Georgia, The
Macn Telegraph recently remarked,
editorially: ]
“In London Rogers became a
rage immediately, ‘Lady Astor and
the Prince of Wales, whom he had
known, introduced him about and
the cowboy from Ardmore became a
gocial lion. Theatre managers gob
bled his services up at fat fees and
he has stayed on in London for more
than six months, serving as a sort of
ambassador of good will.”

CARSWELL'S COUNTIES SWING
ALMOST SOLIDLY INTO COM
MERCE MAN’S COLUMN.—HOL.- }
DER SECTIONS DESERT. |
O — !
Thursday’s Macon Telegraph says:
Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Commerce, ‘
yesterday won the Democratice nom- |
ination for Governor, which is;
equivalent to election, from John N,
Holder, chairman of the highway
Board, by a majority of more than
two to one in the county unit votes.
Dr, Hardman carried 110 coun
ties and piled up 284 unit votes, 76
more than necessary to elect, Mr.
Holder carried 51 counties and 130
unit votes. In addition, Dr. Hard
man was leading Mr. Holder more
than 17,000 in popular votes, which
were scattering and preliminary
since many counties reported only
the unit result of the election with
out giving the vote. The early re
turns give the popular vote as:
Hardman, 43,948; Holder, 26,5614.
There are 414 county unit votes
and 208 are necessary to election.
The result of yesterday’s elec
tion will be ratified formally by the
Democratic State convention, which
meets in Macon on October 14. Dr.
Hardman will succeed Governor
Walker in June of next year.
Dr. Hardman swept sixteen South
Georgia counties out of the Holder
column and in addition won every
one of the twenty-eight counties
credited to Carswell in the first pri
mary except one. In addition he
won six of the seven Wood coun
ties.
The candidates held almost their
comparative strength in the upper
part of the state, but South Geor
gia's reversal, together with the ac
cretion of the Carswell strength by
'Dr. Hardman, proved too great an
obstacle for the chairman of the
Highway Board. ‘
How. South Georgia Voted
Drawing a line through Macon re
veals that Holder carried only eigh
teen counties in the southern part of
the State. In South Georgia, he
turned only one county, Echols, away
from Dr. Hardman and carried only
one county, Wheeler, that had been
carried by Carswellr On the other
hand, he lost sixteen South Georgia
counties that he carried in the first
primary. These included Baker,
Mitchell, Thomas, Emanuel, Tift,
Pierce, Dooly, Liberty, Long, Cand
ler, Atkinson, Bulloch, Toombs, Clay,
and Quitman.
In addition to the sixteen South
Georgia counties that he lost, Hol
der also lest Lumpkin, Whitfield,
Putnam, Fayette, Glascock, Talbot,
Hall and Rabun, Dawson and For
syth making a total of twenty-six
that he lost to Dr. Hardman from his
prévious strength.
Dr Hardman, on the other hand,
lost Echols, Oconee, Barrow, Gwi
nett, McDuffie, Campbell, Walker,
Chatooga, Paulding, Meriwether and
Clayton, a total of eleven.

EDITOR NEWTON -
ATLANTA MAN, PROMINENT IN
RELIGIOUS CIRCLES, IS AC.
CORDED CORDIAL HOSPITALI.
TY BY MONTICELLONIANS.
Mr. Louie D. Newton, editor of
The Christian Index, who was a
recent visitor to Monticello, deliver
ing a splendid sermon in the Bap
tist church here on Sunday evening,
September 26th, having preached in
Eatonton in the forenoon, has the
following write-up in last week’s is
sue of The Index concrening his
sojourn here: |
“Sunday afternoon we drove on to
Monticello. The woods are so pretty
now. The golden rod adorns every
hillside and the other beautiful
autumn flowers form their part of
the picture. Butterflies in abund
ance give the finishing touches and
in every direction the sky was
radiantly illumed with the glorious
sunset last Sunday afternoon.
‘“Pastor and Mrs. W. B. Under
wood are happy in their new field at
Monticello. Mr. Underwood got his
master’s degree at Mercer last June
and immediately accepted the Monti
jcllo call, having served for some
time at Shady Dale during his work
at Mercer. They seem to be well
‘suited to the field. The people ex
press their delight in his leadership
and on every hand I heard the kind
est expressions of his,ministry. They
have one daughter, Miss Dorothy,
fourteen. Professor and Mrs. Har
ris, of the Monticello schools, were
also guests for supper and it was a
delighful array of viands to which
Mrs. Underwood invited us. From
the fried chicken to the cream and
cake, it was delicious.
_“Rev. J. D, Winchester, a former
pastor and much beloved, had driven
into town that afternoon and was a
visitor at the evening service. Every
body had to shake hands with him
before they could go on with the
service. It was very wholesome to
note the welcome they gave him and
also to see the manner in which he
delighted in progress of the church
under his successor. What a fine
thing it is to see the brethren dwell
ing together in unity.
“The singing was fine, led by Mr.
Lane. When Pastor Underwood
would give out a hymn, they would
take the first word and go right on
with it as though they had come to
church to sing. That’s fine. Twe
of the pillars of the Central Associa
tion are deacons at Monticello—Mr.
Eli Malone and Mr. Monroe Phillips.
They were right there Sunday night,
singing and enjoying the fellowship
of the meeting.
“The Monticello church has lately
added a twelve-room annex which
provides a desirable place for the
Sunday School. I observed that there
were 186 present last Sunday. Their
enrollment is 199. Pretty good is'nt
it? And Pastor Underwood was say
ing that they had seventy people at
prayer meeting the Wednesday night
before. )

Phillips, J. J. Pope, W. E. Ballard,
W. A. Lane, G. W. Hawkins, J. C.

SITUATION OF THINGS AS
THEY NOW EXIST AT MIAMI
AND OTHER CITIES SWEPT
BY RECENT HURRICANE.
As information The News quotes
telegram sent by Mayor Romfh, es
city of Miami, to F. J. Robinson,
General Passenger Agent of Central
of Georgia Railway, giving facts as
to conditions in that City:
“From the thousands of telegrams
pouring into Miami, hundreds of
which are addressed to the Mayor
of the City, I am convinced a very
much exaggerated idea of Miami's
real condition has been created. 1
regard it as a duty to the public at
large to set forth as briefly as pos
sible the situation as it now exists
and its relation to the future of this
city.
Great Amount of Damage.
“The West Indian hurricane which
swept over an area of approximately
sixty miles on the Atlantic Coast om
September 18, extending about thir
ty miles north and thirty miles south
of Miami, was by far the most severe
and destructive storm that ever
touched the mainland of the United
States. Miami in her thirty years
of existence has never been material
ly damaged before. There was a
great amount of damage to buildings
through their unroofing, the break
ing of windows and the blowing
?down of poorly constructed build
ings in the outlying districts. The
larger business buildings, the better
constructed homes, hotels and apart
ments were mostly damaged by the
breaking of glass, and, in some
instances, the covering of roofs were
loosened or blown off and thus the
heavy rain created the most damage.
There was great destruction to the
tropical palms and foliage. The
electric light plant, water and gas
system were put out of commissiom.
The water and gas service is now
normal. The electric system has
been restored in the central busi
ness district and service to large
residential areas are being added
daily. The most regrettable part of
the storm was the number of deaths
which total 105 to date in Dade
county.
“There were 854 injured placed im
regular and temporary hospitals,
350 of whom have been discharged.
The Citizens Committee did heroie
work the first few days in caring fer
the injured. However, this work
has now been taken over by Red
Cross and this organization is hand
ling the situation with the utmost
efficiency.
“Small buildings in outlying dis
tricts cheaply constructed were
‘blown down. It was in these and im
houseboats that the greatest number
of deaths occurred. There was great
damage done to yachts and pleasure
boats, but most of these will be put
in shipshape order for the coming
season.
Thousands Lose All
“Of the 150 hotels in Miami,
Miami Beach and Coral Gables, 75
per cent were not damaged to any
great extent. The year around
