The primary in Houston county
last Thursday was vigoroursly con
tested at 18 precincts, and the
result furnished sbnle surprise.
Of those now in office, and were
cauditates for reelection subject
to the primary, three were defeat
ed.
Though much interest was man
ifested, a fist fight at Perry was
the only disturbance, and this
was an indirect incident of the
nomination. One of the beliger-
ents received ajblow over the right
eye that broke the skin and drew
blood. Fo .arrests were made.
The total vote of the county
was 1815, just 80 more than were
polled in i900, and 150 less than
the total registration list.
Elsevyhero we give the tabulat
ed precinct vote, except that of
those state house officers for which
there was only oiie candidate
each.
At Perry the vote was 14 great
er than in 1900, and the count was
concluded before 9 o’clock,
Diroctly after' tho announce
ment, of the Ferry vote, unofficial
returns from other precincts were
received at Perry, wlmre a large
number of citizens were congre
gated. By telephone and tele
graph news name, and before 12
o’clock the result was clearly in
dicated for nearly every office.
There continued to be doubt con
cerning the candidates for Tax
Collector, and at11 o’olook Fri
day morning tlie nomination of
Mr. Rushing was conceded by a
slight majority. Tho official count
gave the nomination to Mr. Mur
ray by a majority of 27.
The defeat of Mr. Edwards for
clerk of .the Superior court was a
surprise to his active friends, but
Mr. Woodard and his closest
friends wele confident of success.
Sheriff Cooper’s majority is 15
less than in 1900.
Mr. Brunson’s vote for solicitor
general was not quite as large as
his closest friends had hoped for,
while the‘defe,at of Mr. Heard for
the legislature caused general sur
prise, except to those who had
close knowledge of the canvass. .
Though several candidates,state
and county, had no opponent, no
one received the full vote.
The-precinct managers and a
qherom of the executive commit-
fee, Chairman Riley presiding,
consolidated the vote at 12 m.
Friday, declared the result and
appointed delegates to the state
convention tp be held at Atlanta
on July 2nd, next.
