Brown’s Lead Over Price Growing
It was settled Thursday afternoon
that James J. Brown has defeated
James D. Price, who was a candidate
for renomination as Commissioner of
Agriculture. The race had been in
doubt until the official returns came
in showing that the incumbent had
lost his home county, Oconee, by 83
votes.
Here is The Georgian’s table on the
contest:
Convention
Counties. Vote.
BN \svis cesih B 196
RO « o oiie voo 63 166
DS . hosenne - 108 362 l
Eight counties had not yet report- |
ed on this race, but if Mr. Price]
should carry all of them with their
total convention vote of 18 votes |
Brown still would have a majority |
of 10. ,
The race probably will prove to be '
the closest for a Statehouse offlcei
since the celebrated tie between
Judges Nash Broyies and Bob Pottle]
in the race for Court of Appeals four
years ago. |
The counties yet to hear from are
Banks, Candler, Hart Meriwether,
Mitchell, Toombs, Twiggs and Wheel
er.
For Court of Appeals.
The race for Court of Appeals is
still undecided and the probabilities
are that only O. H. Bloodworth, of
Forsyth, will go into the convention
with a majority, if, indeed, he polls
191 votes.
With reports from ninteen coun
ties still missing, The Georgian's ta

A long distance telephone message to
The Georgian Thursday afternoon told
of a proposed contest of the result of
the Blue Ridge Circuit judgeship race
in Fannin County by Judge Henry L.
Patterson, the incumbent, who was de
feated in Tuesday's primaries by N. E.
Morris. Judge Patterson filed charges
with the chairman of the County Execu
tive Committee, alleging that 250 to 500
Patterson men were refused the right to
vote and that in one precinct a batch
of Patterson votes were burned.
~ Morris beat Judge Patterson, accord
ing to the count, by 347 votes. If Pat
terson’'s charges are sustained at Ma
\con, however, he will have a lead of 187.
The result in Fannin *County as an
nounced by the election managers was
594 for Morris and 60 for Patterson. The
Morris faction claims that they conceded
only fifty votes to Judge Patterson and
that the election was fairly held.
This is the third successive time the
Blue Ridge Circuit judgeship result has
been contested. Four years ago, lin a
contest in Gilmer County, Judge Pat
terson was seated, although the Morris
hosts carried their fight to the conven
tion at Macon.

noon that the entire Bulgarian
first line in Greece had been taken
by the Serbians and that a great
battle was in progress.

Staff Correspondent of the Interna

LONDON, Sept. 14.—Capture of
Peronne by French troops, a blow
that will ultimately force the Ger
mans to abandon the great Noyon
salient that they have maintained
since the battle of the Marne two
years ago, was forecast by dispatches
received here from Amsterdam today.
| These state that though Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria was
reinforcing his troops about Peronne
and bringing up all available artillery
for the town’s defense, the civilion
inhabitants of the district had been
ordered by the Germans to leave fm
mediately. Refugees numbering 2,000
have already reached the Belgian |
town of Given. ‘
These war exiles report that signs |
of panic are already apparent among
the troops owing to the continued ad
vance of the French troops on the |
Somme front. From them was ob-{1
tained the first account of the results
obtained by the French aviators in
their recent raids behind the German
lines,
The refugees stated that in every
phase of aerial warfare the French
fliers are now demonstrating their su
periority, not only in numbers, but
also in the boldness of their opera
tions.
Several of the rallway lines upon
which the Germans depend for mov
ing their troops rapidly to threat
ened points on the front have been
s 0 badly damaged by bombs dropped
from French aeroplanes that it will
take more than two weeks to repair
them,
Eight German ammunition depots
have been blown up with heavy
losses of life.

Teuton Attacks Fail

To Shake French Line
By CHARLES F. BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service,
PARIS, Sept. 14.—German troops
launched a counter attack on the
Somme front yesterday, but it re
sulted in failure, the War Office an
nounced today. The Teuton attacks
were made on both sides of the
Somme River, that to the north be
ing against Hill No. 76, while to the
south the Germans assailed the po
sitions recently taken by the
French,
The officlal communique reports
the repulse of these assaults, the same
fate meeting two German attacks on
the Vaux-Chapitre positions on the
Verdun front,
A feature of the military operations
much commented on by the French
experts is that the Allies not only
gain their objective in the attacks
they make but hold on to their cap
tured positions despite the most des
perate efforts of the Germans to dis
lodge them.
¢ In the latest Somme attacks the
Germans hurled large forces upon the
French only to be driven back with
heavy losses
