The die has been east, and the democratic nominees have beeu chosen. The victors are’ jubilant, and maybe some of those defeated are despondent. Some may at tempt to explain why they failed to get elected, but we know of one reason only. They didn’t receive enough votes. The election passed off vert- quietly, with a slightly increased vote at Perry,.but a decrease of 66 in the total for the vote in the pri mary as compared with that of two years ago. For several of the offices the contest was close and quietly ex citing, and two or three days be fore the election another exciting feature was injected into the cam paign, the candidacy of Hon. Tom Hardeman for Governor. At a meeting at Fort Valley Wednesday night, nearly all the candidates appeared, and a nnm ber of them made speeches. There Mr. B. M. Bateman advo cated the nomination of Hardeman by Houston, and Capt. J. L. Hardeman made a short speech in response to a call from the audi ence. Thursday there was a small meet ing tit Perry, and Mr. W. H. L. Barron delivered a speech that re ceived much applause. Friday Col. W. J. Northen de livered an address at Fort Valley, and came to Perry that night, but the heavy rain prevented the peo ple from coming out, and he talk ed about ten minutes to about 25 people. At Fort Valley Hardeman badges were plentiful, and his ad- cates were numerous.' At Perry it was believed that Northen would lead, but the bal lots were not cast exactly that way It was anticipated that the re sult would be known at Perry by ten o’clock Saturday night, but the returns were not sent in from sev en precincts, and the count was not completed here until after 11 o’clock. The whole vote was consolidated at Perry Monday by the county democratic executive committee, and the resnlt is officially declared by Chairman Palmer. The total vote in the county amounted to 1075 against 1131 two years ago. Below we give the vote of each candidate at each precinct. Where any name fails to appear, that can didate failed to receive a vote at that precinct.

Nelson was rnarr riedto Miss Wattie Jobson, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Jobson, at Perry. Rev. J. C. Brewton per formed the ceremony in his usual appropriate and impressive man- Rev. Henry Felder, pastor of the negro Baptist church of New Hope, a suburb of Perry, has been committed to jail .for arson, to await the action of the next grand jury. . The specific charge is that he set fire to a corn crib in New Hope that belonged to John Nobles, on Thursday night of last week. The trial began in the Connty Court at S o’clock Monday morn ing, and was concluded at about 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. There were 40 or 50 witnesses, sworn in the case, and fully 200 negroes, men and women, attended the trial constantly. The main features of the evidence are as followe: Felder and Nobles had a diffi culty about church matters, harsh words were used, and Felder said that Nobles onght to be talked to, intimating that harm might come to him. Felder was not at the fire, though it was shown thnt he went part of the way and stopped nnder a tree. Tracks were discovered leading from Felder’s house to the bnrned crib, and back to Felder’s house. These tracks were made by shoes freshly half-soled; Felder owned snch shoes, and these tracks were said to be identical with those made by Felder’s shoes. It was shown that there was a woman in the case, and that Felder was es pecially popular with the women of his congregation. It was also shown that he had been accused two years ago of burning a house. In deciding that the case should go to the grand [jury, Judge Riley declared it a capital case, and there fore not bailable. Consequently, the Rev. Felder is in jail, and must there await action on' his case by the grand jury next October. Jit first the friends of the de fendant did not evidently compre hend the gravity of the situation. Bat as he was carried out- of the court house toward the jail, the women began to question bystand ers, and then dozens of them be gan to loudly lament, and declare that Brother Felder must not go to jail. The hubbub attracted atten tion of all within hearing of the court house, and some of the most devoted female members of the Rev. Felder’s church were almost forcibly carried home by their male relatives, the load crying being continued. Opinions differ as to the strength of the evidence, from the position jurymen must occupy. Felder is a native of this county, was a servant of Mr. E. L. Felder in ante-bellum times, and has been a pastor of the New Hope church for about 20 years. A petition has been forwarded to Jndge Miller asking that Felder be admitted to bail. Judge Riley says that only a Superior Court jndbe can admit to bail a prisoner chained with a capital offense. Paotiably tne bail will be allowed, as Judge Riley will endorse the petition. / We have in store on Carx-oll Street, a choice stock of Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, Svectaclcs, Table and Pocket ~uutzery, Sslverwarc and Sewing Machine Attachments. tfir&t=©(!ass Goods at L©W68t !Met§. £3~Bepair work on Watches, Jewelry, etc., done promptly and well. ■ NELSON & JOBSON, Perry, Ga.
