Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 1L—

tion ot the adoption or ratifica
tion of the codstitution formed by
the recent convention, and from
the returns so far received it is
evident that the new instrument
has carried by a majority ranging
between 25,000 and 35,000.

the house prohibiting the killing
of any kind of game in Georgia
for the next five years will be killed

unjust.
