The City Council in regular ses
sion Monday evening heard a large
delegation of Lcgionaircs ask that a
carnival be allowed to show here
license free in connection with the
district fair that*is sponsored by the
Legion next week.
The council granted the petition
provided no gambling devices are
permitted on the fair grounds and
all shows with the carnival are clean
and decent. A committee of council
will censor the shows before the
carnival opens. No gambling devices
of any type or description will be
allowed.
The council considered the pur
chase of new road equipment for the
city, but postponed action until a
later date, probably after the first
of the year.
A delegation of dairymen and
meat dealers led hy George W.
Hollinshead. O. F. Veal and Capt.
J. H. Ennis appeared before the
council to ask the enactment of an
ordinance providing for milk and
meat inspection in the city. The or
dinance which not only provides for
milk and meat inspection but also
the inspection of all cafes, lunch
rooms and other eating places, has
been read one time. Th« ordinance
must be read three times before pas
sage. The council will have a special
sssion next Monday evening to hear
the views of citizens on this ques
tion before voting.
A resolution was passed at the
meeting barring from the city prop
erty all traveling shows. This or
dinance has special reference to Jar-
rett’s spring lot which has been used
as a show ground for several years.
The council adjourned after pass-
! ng routine matters.
I Will’ all voting precincts opened,
the lightest vote in many years was
cast Tuesday in the general election
in Baldwin county.
The straight Democratic ticket ap
proved in the primary in September
was polled by the voters. Since
there were no contests no effort
made to get the vote out. Several
candidates on the tickets received
cne scratch each.
The Constitutional amendment
thorzing Spalding county to make
temporary loans was passed by
vote of 53 to 13. Only B7 votes wc
cast in Milledgeville the largest pre
cinct in the county.
The Democrats won a sweeping
victory throughout the nation gaining
new members in both the house and
senate. The big victory u
sldered an approval of President
Roosevelt’s New Deal since this wa:
the big issue in states where the Re
publican vote usually overcasts the
Democrats. As an off year election
the vote was considered overwhelm
ing.
President Roosevelt and Demo
cratic leaders expressed satisfaction
in the gains that had been shown.
Many old line Republican members
of the Senate were defeated by large
majorities by their Democratic op
ponents.
The voting iu Georgia was very
light. The only spirited election was
in DeKalk county where Paul Lind
sey. an anti-Talmadge candidate for
the legislature overwhelmingly de
feated his opponent R. L. Garland.
