Quit ting Race: Judgeship Choice Unanimous. BLALOCK THROWS HIS VOTES TO OCONEE MAN On Second Ballot Watson’s County Quits Brown and Ends Contest. By JAMES B. NEVIN. MACON. GA., Aug. 28.—-. James D. Price, of Oconee county, was chosen for commissioner of agri culture by the state Democratic convention this afternoon, de feating J. J. Brown on the sec ond ballot by a vote of 186 to 168. On the second ballot, Mc- Duffie county, the home of Tom Watson. switched from the Brown ranks to the support of Price. Recorder Nash R. Broyles, of Atlanta, made himself the hero of the convention by withdraw ing from the race for the court of appeals in favor of Judge J. K. Pottle, his opponent. He ad dressed to the convention a let ter saying that, while the county unit vote was a tie, he did not care to enter a prolonged contest in the convention and would ask his-friends to cast a unanimous vote fnr .Judge Pottle, who had received the largest popular vote. Judge Pottle was elected. W. J. Harris, state senator, was elected permanent chairman of the convention and chairman of the new state executive commit tee. A. O. Blalock. one of the three can didates for commissioner of agriculture, withdrew today and urged his support ers to east their votes for J. D Price. The race then narrowed to J. J Brown and Price, and the convention pro ceeded toward a choice between these two. The resolutions committee presented a platform opposing the sale of the Western and Atlantic railroad and urg ing certain reforms. It was not a sen sational document in any paragraph. Chairman Harris ruled that a ma jority "f unit votes would nominate. The result of the first Brown-Price ballot '•■ as 177 to 177. a tie. There, was no nomination. It requires 185, or a majority, to nominate. • The greatest confusion and disorder followed :he first ballot. For fifteen minutes the hall was in an uproar. Quiet was restored at 1:20 o'clock and the sc' and roll cali proceeded. Price Wins On Second Ballot. < >n .he second call of the roll verified. Blown received 150. thus awarding the victory to Price. This generally is looked upon as a decided and emphatic s.ap at Tom Watson, whose last-minute effort to interfere was resen.ed by' the delegates. Blalock's spectacular with drawal and his charges of attempted dictation by the fertilizer people won th? convention to Price. Less rigorous tactics than those em ployed by Blalock might have seen Brown nominated, but Blalock went at Brown hammer and tongs and got him. The Fulton delegation divided, three for Brown and three for Price. Commissioner Connor's open open work for Brown this morning, carrying with it alleged ‘promises of patronage.

Painters Desecrate Georgia Flag; Use It For Floor Covering ■ Ensign Old and Storm Beaten, But It Bears Colors of State. If the state of Georgia held its flag in the same reverence which Uncle Sam requires to be paid the Stars and Stripes, somebody at the capitol would be hauled over the coals today. For a Georgia flag, spread out on the floor of the capitol corridor, is being used by decorators at work on the building to catch the drippings of paint which fall from the ceiling. It is true that the flag has been storm-beaten until it is hardly more than a dingy, grimy rag, but it still bears the stripes and the insignia of the state. It had probably been dis carded for the newer and brighter col ored banner w hich waves from the cap itol dome when occasion requires it. FORREST AVE. KICKS ON NOISE OF TRUCKS IN THE CAR TRACKS i Auto and other trucks which seek the trolley tracks and scrape shrill screeches from the tortured rails are to come under the ban of the city coun cil if the women of Forrest avenue have their way, and they say' they will. They're going to bring a petition be fore that honorable body in ordei to ameliorate conditions and restore their ■ avenue to its usual evening quiet. Porch parties in Forrest avenue, where neighbors gather in the gloam ing to talk of various things, nearly . have been broken up by the sounds scraped from steel by the trucks. Be sides the gas wagons, ordinary’ horse • drawn vehicles with metal tires climb , upon the rails and stick there, and the noise is like that of a wooden-legged burglar throwing a fit on a tin roof, i The honking horns and clang of the , street car gongs were bad enough, but , the trucks are the worst, declare these afflicted residents. SPRINKLERS AT CITY SEWAGE PLANT ARE CHOKED BY FROGS When a number of city officials went . out recently to witness a demonstration of the newly completed Proctor creek sewage disposal plant, built with bond money, the plant wouldn't work. After n tedious Investigation, the engineers discovered that the sprinkling nozzles of the plant were stopped up with about 500 frogs. . 1 The officials vyent out again today to see the plant in which they take much pride in operation, and it worked per . fectly. Neither did it produce any of fensive odors. The engineers said they took precaution to prevent frogs from ' getting in the plant. ’ Councilman Aldine Chambers said ■ that he favored developing the land around the plant into a park. GIRL RUN DOWN BY ANOTHER IN AUTO; HURTS NOT SERIOUS Miss Louise Bigham, of 231 North Bou , levard, was struck by an electric brougham driven by Miss Arline Elkins, of 370 Washington street, this afternoon, at the entrance of the Candler building She was carried into a physician's office I in the building, where it was found she was not seriously injured. !

Miss Bigham is employed by' the Nun nally Candy company at 59 Ivy street. = SUES WIFE BECAUSE 1 SHE WILL NOT COME TO ATLANTA TO LIVE i t Mfs. Mamie Pitts, of Washington, faces a divorce from Robert Pitts, if she does not come to Atlanta to live. Mr. Pitts, 61 Tennelle street, filed suit for divorce from her today, asserting that she has flatly’ refused to come to , this city, though he has provided a , home for her.

BLEASE IMS INGAROLINA PHIMAFIY si a Charleston Report Says News and Courier Will Concede Nomination of Governor TILLMAN RETAINS HIS SEAT IN U. S. SENATE Lyons and Peoples Will Likely Run Second Race For At torney General CHARLESTON, S. C., Aug. 28.—Ac cording to reports received here up to 5 o'clock this afternoon, Cole L. Blease has a clear majority of about 350 votes over both his opponents, Judge Ira B. Jones and John T. Duncan, in yester day's primary election. The News and Courier, it is reported, will concede Blease's nomination for re-election as governor. If the official canvass shows Blease to have the lead now credited to him, a second primary for governor will not be held. COLUMBIA, S. C„ Aug. 28.—The latest reports of the actual vote in the gubernatorial contest, including all re turns up to 2:30 o’clock, show Governor Cole L. Blease 902 in the lead over Judge Ira B. Jones, his chief opponent. These returns include 115,192 votes. The three candidates stand as fol lows: Blease.-57.227: Jones. 56,275: John T. Dunean, 1,690. It Is now practically certain that there will be a second primary to de cide between Blease and Jones, as Dun can's vote prevents either one from se curing a clear majority. Blease will likely have about 1,200 plurality’ over Jones when complete returns from yes terday's contest are received. Senator Ben R. Tillman is certain to retain his seat in the United States senate, the returns in hand insuring his nomination over his two opponents, W. I. Talbert and N. B Dial. Attorney General Fraser Lyon, al though maintaining a good lead over his competitors, will likely have to run a second race with Peoples, who is sec ond. S. T. Carter easily defeated D. W.
