WEATHER REPORT FOR
| GEORGIA
|
- The past weck was generally
dry and quite warm, except the
last day; in fact, several days
were decidedly hot in the south
ern portion of the state. - The
weather was very favorable for
picking and ginning cotton, gath
ering corn, pulling fodder, hay
ing, and fall plowing for winter
cereals. Cotton is shedding
some, and the dry weather is
causing many young bolls to dry
up; the crop is opening fast and
the crop is poor. Sweet potatoes
and fall gardens need rain. A
fair crop of pecans is indicated.
An exceptionally large yield of
hay was secured.

THOMAS IS LEADING
LANGFORD IS NEXT
Waycross, Sept. 12.—Judge W.
E. Thomas of Valdosta is leading
the congressional race in the
Eleventh district. It has been a
day of surprises. Returns at mid
night bring to light the biggest
surprise by placing W. C. Lang
ford, of Douglas, to the front as
a strong contender for the nomi
nation. Coffee, his nome county,
will give him between twelve and
fourtecen hundred.
Representative Walker is close
up in the race,
Berrien county estimates a
plurality for Langford ranging
from 200 to 400. This unusually
large vote, according to reports,
compiled here and at Douglas,
make him second to Judge Thom
as, and returns yet to be received
may change the result. It now
looks like a Thomas-Langford
fight, and a complete consolida
tion of every county will be re
quired to make known beyond a
doubt the winner,
Representative Walker’s home
county, Pierce, gave him a nice
magyority. He is reported to have
carried Wayne and Charlton,
Mr. Langford carried Clinch by
a nice majority.
Ware gave Bowden a hand
some plurality. Glynn county
went for Thomas over Walker by
a big vote. Thomas is given
Brooks and Echols by incom
plete returns, and Walker Charl
ton. Many of the outlying pre
cincts will not be heard from until
morning, but are not expected to
change the results. Irwin went
for Thomas by 91, Echols by 31.
( In Lowndes Thomas went to
Valdosta with a lead of 125 votes.
Brooks is reported to be in the
Thomas column.
Jeff Davis is repogted to have
gone for Langford, giving him
330, Walker 176, Bowden 212 and
Thomas 144. Applind, complete,
is reported: Walker, 235, Bow
den 213, Thomas 154 and Lang
ford 140. )
