POTTLE AND PHICLWIN OPPONENTS WITHDRAW Broyles Takes Lead by Quitting 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. M.M'OX. GA.. Aug. 2S.- James D. Price, of Oconee county, was olios- n for commissioner of agri culture In lhe state Democratic eoiievntion 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 Biown ranks Io the support of Price. Recorder Nash R. Broyles, of Aiianta. made himself the hero of the convention by withdraw ing from the rave for the court oi appeal-- in favor of Judge J. K. Pottle, his opponent. He ad ; dressed to the convention a let-1 ter saving that, while the county unit vote was a tie. he did not j care to enter a prolonged contest , in the convention ami would ask I his friends to east a unanimous I vole for Judge Pottle, who had received the largest popular vote.!

It was not a sen- i sational document in any paragraph. chairman Harris ruled that a ma- ‘ jorit? of unit - otes would nominate. i The result of the first Brown-Price ballot was 177 to 177. a tie. There was no nomination. it requires 185. or a majority, to nominate. The greatest confusion and disorder followed the first ballot. For fifteen minutes the hall was in an uproar. Quiet was restored at 1:20 o'clock and the s.-cond roll call proceeded. Price Wins On Second Ballot. On the second call of the roll verified. Brown 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 resented by the delegates. Blalock’s spectacular with drawal and his charges of attempted dictation by the fertilizer people won the 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.

COLE BLEISE EEADMG 81 ABOUT ■ l/OTES With 115.000 Ballots Already Tabulated. Governor Runs Ahead of Ira B. Jones. SECOND RACE LIKELY IN SOOTH CAROLINA Duncan. Third Candidate. Polls Enough Strength to Prevent Majority for Either Rival. COLUMBIA. S. (’„ 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. i The three candidates stand as fol- 1 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 ean'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. J. 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. McLaurin for state treasurer. He swept three-fourths of the state. In the other conests there was com paratively little interest, extept the lo cal district races for congressmen. Excitement here and throughout the state is intense. A crowd of 10.000 watched the bulle tins hire last night and an equally large throng paraded the streets of Charleston. A near-riot was precipi tated in that city and the governor was requested by long distance telephone to call out the militia, but he refused to do so. Rumors here had it that, the ballot boxes had been rifled, but it is now thought that this Is untrue. All predictions as to the counties which each candidate would carry have been wide of the mark, Jones’ counties going for Blease and vice versa. The ■ornplele returns will probably not be known until late In the afternoon. RACES AT WINDSOR. First —Union Jack, 1, first; Miss Nett, 3-5: Cynosure, 6. Also ras True Step. Theo Cooke. Temmeraire.

If the state of Georgia held its flag in the same reverence which Uncle Sam requires to he 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 capltol 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 which waves from the Cap itol dome when occasion requires it. $3,000 NOTES TAKEN IN ATLANTA FOUND ON MILWAUKEE MAN MILWAUKEE.

KICKS ON NOISE OF TRUCKS IN THE CAR TRACKS , 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 order to ameliorate conditions and restore theft avenue to its usual evening quiet. Porch parties in Forrest avenue, where neighbors gather in the gloam- L ing to talk of various things, nearly f have been broken up by the sounds . scraped from steel by the trucks. Be- > aides the gas wagons, ordinary horse -1 drawn vehicles with metal tires climb upon the rails and stick there, and the i noise is like that of a wooden-legged . burglar throwing a fit on a tin roof. The honking horns and clang of the ' street car gongs were bad enough, but the trucks are the worst, declare these afflicted residents.
