HEAVY VOTE WILL BE POLLED TODAY
Expected to Reach Hundred and
Twenty-Five Thousand in State
CARTER WILL NOT GET MANY
The Pension Commissionership the
omly Contest Outside of That for
Governor, and Election May Go
into Legislature. The Disfran
chisement Amendment.
The able voter will make another
‘harge on the polls today, and elect
. governor and other state officials.
The vote promises to be the
heaviest in years. In Terrell county
the total registration, after the reg
strars finished the work Monday of
purging the list, was about 1,669,
»f which 1,300 are whites and 369
negroes. The total number of ne
sroes who registered was 544, but
the names of about 175 of these
were stricken on acc¢ount of being
tax defaulters.
The election is arousing more than
the ordinary amount of interest this
vear, owing to the fact that for the
first time in twelve years the regular
democratic nominee for gevernor has
independent. opposition.
Independentism has not shown its
head since W. Y. Atkinson defeated
Seaborn Wright, who ran on the
populist and prohibition platform
twelve years ago. This time . dis
affection in the democratic ranks as
the result of unusually bitter par
tisanship seemed to offer encourage
ment to independentism, and as a
result Joseph M. Brown, the white
primary nominee, is opposed by W.
Y. Carter of Hart county, who was
brought into the race ostensibly by
the Hearst-Hisgen-Graves Independ
ence organiation.
As a general thing, there being no
opposition in the regular election,
the vote is light. In today’s
clection, however, an exceptionally
heavy vote is looked for, though it
will hardly be as large as that polled
in the state primary, when 210,000
votes were cast.
Carter's Vote Not Over 235,000.
That some of the disaffected ele
ment which sought to renominate
Gov. Hoke Smith will bolt to Carter
I 8 not questioned, despite the fact
that Gov. Smith himself has an
nounced that he will stand firmly
by the primary and vote for Mr.
Brown. Estimates of conservative
politicians give Carter not more than
25,000 votes in the entire state,
and there are those who pretend to
believe that his vote will be consid
erably less than that.
Likewise it is the general belief
that the nominee, Mr. Brown, will
et from 75,000 to 100,000 votes
out of an anticipated total of 100,
00 to 125,000 votes that will be
‘ast. These are comservative esti-
Mates based upon reports from many
“ections of the state, in few of which
dre there any indications that the
‘Mdependence candidate has made
v‘"fl.\' Material inroads upon the nomi-
Partisan Brown men will not con
tede that Carter will get more than
10,000 votes at the outside, while
‘m‘t.»r‘:\‘ followers, of course, to keep
their spirits up, are making extrava-
Sant claims of carrying the state.
The Pension Commissionership.
fhe only other contest in today's
“lection is that for commissioner of

EVERY DEMOCRAT URGED TO
VOTE A STRAIGHT TICKET. .
e {
As chairman of your Executive:
Committee I call upon all loyal}
Democrats to lay aside every per-:
sonal grievance towards any nom
inees of the party that you mayi
have, and as worthy sons give:
your unwavering allegiance to
the party of our fathers. Dem-:
ocracy expects every man to do:
his duty, and I appeal especially
to those who in the late primary
supported unsuccessful candi
dates. You least of all can afford
to prove recreant in the battle to'
maintain the supremacy of our
principles and our race. Let me:
urge you to vote on Wednesday,
the 7th., a straight ticket for the
nominees of the Democratic par
ty, thus vindicating the white.
primary and assuring the solidity
of our party, so that with an
abiding faith in the future an
unterrified democracy may march
to the November conflict united
and with the joy of victory in
our hearts.
M. C. EDWARDS,
Chairman Democratic Executive
Committee Terrell County.
was made in the state primary for
the reason that the law providing
for popular election of this official
was passed after the primary had
been held. As a consequence there
are six or seven candidates in the
field.
An interesting question has arisen
in connection with this contest. The
law under which the commissioner
of pensions was made elective by the
people instead of appointive by
the governor states that he shall
be elected in the same manner as
governor and the other state house
officers. The constitution requires
that these must receive a majority
of the vote cast in the regular elec
tion. It is manifestly apparent that
with eight or more candidates in the
race no one of them can expect to
get a majority. In the absence of
a majority vote for any of the can
didates it looks now as if the elec
tion would be thrown into the legis
lature, and that the next general as
sembly would have to name that
official.
The Disfranchisement Amendment.
What is perhaps of most wide
spread interest in connection with
the general election is that the peo
ple of Georgia will pass upon the dis
franchisement amendment to the
state constitution. It is the general
belief that this amendment will be
ratified, though undoubtedly a large
vote will be cast against it. This
vote will come partly from the heavy
registration of negroes which has
been in progress this year all over
the state, and partly from opposi
tion to it among a certain white ele
ment, more particularly the republi
cans, who are likewise strongly reg
istered. Then there will be opposed
to it a small element of the demo
cratic vote which fought disfranchise
ment when it was first proposed.
It is not considered that this com
bined vote will amount to anything
like enough to prevent the ratifica
tion of the amendment, for which
purpose only a majority of the vote
cast is required.
Georgia will be one of the last of
the states with a large negro popu
lation to adopt the disfranchisement
law. Under an amendment to the
act adopted at the recent session of
the legislature if ratified it will not
go into effect until Jan. 1, next, thus
giving all voters registered during
the current year the opportunity of
voting in the national election with
out the necessity of having to reg
ister again under the new law.

THE FOUR NEGROES IMPLICAT
| ED IN BIUS MURDER.
‘The Three Men Waived Preliminary
~ Hearing, and Savannah Woods
Was Released.
Solicitor-General Laing went down
to Cuthbert Thursday morning to at
tend the committal trial as the rep
resentative of the state of the three
Negro men and the negro woman who
were arrested some days ago and
placed in jail on suspicion of being
‘implicated in the murder of Henry
and Herbert Bius,
~ The prisoners were Essic Coleman,
Alma Johnson, Houston Turner and
Savannah Woods, The cases were
set for trial before Justice Jones.
The three men waived preliminary
trial, and were remanded to jail
without bond. Savannah Woods
went to trial, and so little evidence
which connected her with the crime
was brought out that the court re
leased her.
The examination of the witnesses
consumed all day, and extended late
into the night.
