DROWN NEXT GOVERNOR
His Majority Over Carter Close
to 100,000 Votes.
DISFRANCHISEMENT CARRIES
Lindsey Wins for Pension Commissioner
By Good Majority—The Voting
Was Light.
Atlanta, Ga.—Voting in the state
election for a long ticket from gov
ernor down to coroner was exceeding
light on Wednesday. Hon. Joseph M.
Brown, candidate of the democratic
party for governor, was elected over
W. Yancey Carter, candidate of the
independent party.
Early returns gave Mr. Brown
a majority in 145 of the 147 counties
in the state. Mr. Carter carried Chat
tooga and Gordon by small majorities.
Voting was light all over the state.
The weather was perfect, and this
4act, taken in connection with harvest
ing of the cotton crop, accounted, in
' ' " : "
Democratic Candidate for Governor, Who Was Elected Wednesday'
part, for the generally prevailing indif
ference. Possibly 60 per cent of the
voters who cast' their ballots in the
regular primary, in which Mr. Brown
was nominated, exercised their rights.
The candidacy of Mr. Carter failed
to make much" impression upon the
size of the vote, or to create much
interest in the state at large. The
primary result was viewed every
where as settling the question of who
would be Georgia's next governor, and
little interest w'as shown in the bal
loting. The apathy was not confined
to any one section of the state, but
was general.
In Atlanta the vote cast was slightly
over one-half of that cast in the pri
mary of June 4. .
Governor Smith cast an open ballot.
He voted for Joseph M. Brown.
When Mr. Brown appeared at the
polls in Marietta he was heartily
cheered. He voted the straight dem
ocratic ticket.
The fellow r citizens of Joseph M.
Brown, the democratic nominee, in his
home county W Cobb, turned out in
large numbers to do him honor. The
percentage of the vote cast in Cobb
county, in proportion to the vote in
the primary, was probably the largest
in any county throughout the state.
Fulton county gave Mr. Brown a ma
jority of 4,500 votes.
The following rewards have been
offered by Governor Smith: For the
arrest of Zan Hill, charged with the
killing of Ed Blackshear in Talbot
countv on May 1, 1908, the sum of
SIOO is offered. For the arrest of Tom
Lucas, who is charged with killing
J. C. Farrell in Fulton county on Sep
tember 3, 1906, the sum of SIOO is of
fered.
The county of Clarke has asked for
fifty more convicts than the quota of
the county, and for even more if the
state will let Clarke have them. The
county commissioners propose to
work them on the roads and perma
nently improve every road in the
county.
At its last meeting, Midville’s coun
cil placed a tax of S3OO on near-beer
and the dealer paid for this quarter.
The sentiment of the town is decided
ly opposed to its sale at all.
R C Mandeville, president of the
First National bank, president of the
Mandeville Mills, and one of the most
prominent citizens of Carrollton feu
from the top floor of the First Nation
al bank building in that city receiv
ing fatal injuries.
The contest for pension commission
er ended by the incumbent, Hon. John
W. Lindsey, being re-elected by a safe
majority. This office was made elect
ive by a recent act of the legislature,
and there were eight candidates in
the field as follows: W. J. Buc,hanan,
A. W. Lindsey, T. J. Lumpkin, A. J.
Mcßride, A. B. Stansell, W. W. Wil
son, B. L. Hearn and W. A. Poe.
Colonel A. J. Mcßride of Fulton and
some of the others received a good
vote in certain sections of the state,
Colonel Mcßride carrying Chatham
and Fulton, his home county.
But in the large number of the
counties Captain Lindsey received
good majorities sufficient to insure his
election.
All the rest of the democratic state
ticket was elected, none of the nom
inees, except the 'candidate for gov
ernor, having any opposition.
The successful ticket for state of
ficers follows:
For governor. Joseph M. Brown.
Secretary of state, Philip Cook, Lee
county.
Comptroller general. William A.
Weight, Richmond county.
Treasurer, Robert E. Park, Bibb

Railroad commissioner, for full term
ending December 1, 1915, Warner Hill,

Associate supreme court justices,
Beverly D. Evans of Washington coun
ty, and Horace M. Holden of Taliafer
ro county, were elected for full terms
of six years.
Associate appellate court judge.
Richard B. Russell of Jackson county,
was elected for a full term of six
years.
Eleven superior court judges were
elected without opposition.
Twenty-one solicitors general were
elected without opposition.
* Considerable interest was shown
in the disfranchisement amendment,
which was submitted for ratification
or rejection at this election. The
democratic party was committed to
the amendment, and it carried by a
safe majority.
The Rome council and the county
commissioners will at once commence
suit against the dispensary commis
sioners to compel them to pay over
a balance of more than $7,000 which,
it is claimed, they are holding ille
gally. The proceedings will take the
form of an injunction to prevent the
three commissioners from touching
the sum now in bank and a manda
mus to compel them to turn it over.
