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 county. Commissioner of agriculture, Thom as G. Hudson, Schley county. State school commissioner, Jere M. Pound, Baldwin county. Pension commissioner, John W. Lindsey.

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.
