Aro Jubilant—A Few Counties *" Went for Hines* V Tlie battle of the ballots has been fought and whipped. W. Y. Atkinson of Coweta lias been rluly elected by the people of Georgia for the next two years, and every state bouso oUlcer nominated on.tlie Demo cratic t.cket lias been elected with him. Atie legislature ;u both brunches Is overwhelmingly Democratic, Insuring the election of a Democrat to succeed Senator Walsh.

Then ihero was that apathy among the Democrats which comes with the assurance of success Many of them, especially In the cities, staid at home and thus cut down tlie majority. Thcro were mauy surprises In tlio election. Washington couutv was re deemed. but ns an offset the Democrats hnvo lost a number, muoug them some wh.cji were counted safely Democratic. Not tlie least of tho surprises was the probalilo defeat of Hon. U. Warner Hill in Meriwether county. This will Increase tho chances of Hon. IV. H.
