three hundred votes.
Herbert Clay was elected solici
tor-general by a majority of be
tween four and five thousand.
John P. Cheney and Dr. W. M.

The race for judge was the all
absorbing topic Wednesday and
Thursday; the solicitors race having
been conceded to Clay with the only
interesting feature being the ma
jority he would receive.
It was late Thursday afternoon
when the returns were secured with
figures definite enough to deter
mine the winner. The big crowd
that had waited for the result to be
announced had been guessing all
day to see if the expected large ma
jority of Judge Morris in Gilmer
county would offset the vote of Col.
Patterson in Cobb.
Shortly after dinner the Morris
supporters arnounced a majority of
a little more than eight hundred
outside of Cobb county; about five
hundred of which was offset by Col.
Patterson’s vote in Cobb, leaving
Judge Morris a majority in the cir
cuit of about three hundred votes.
Majorities of the two candidates
in the counties they carried were
reported to the Journal as follows:
Cherokee, Morris 422 majority.
Milton, Morris 232 majority.
Gilmer, Morris 639 majority.
Fannin, Morris 329 majority.
Forsyth, Patterson 150 majornity.
Pickens, Patterson 649 majority.
Cobb, Patterson 516 majority.
Morris’ majorities totalled 1,612.
Patterson’s majorities totalled
1,810,
Morris’ total majority in circuit
exceeded Patterson by 307.

long ago, in the Perth (West Aus
tralia) jail, when a man who is serv
ing a seven years' sentence and who
was employed in the tailoring room,
went on strike on the ground that he
was competing unfairly with outside
trade. Because of his unionistic prin
ciples he was szentenced to three days’
solitary eonfinement, and was ordered
to resume work.

and manuiacturers, to decorate their
places of bhusiness in an appropriate
way, and show the visitors that al
though Marietta is a small town, we
know how tc¢ do things when we un

The contract for decorations has
been made with the Southern Decorat

is already on hand. The work began

Queer Counting of Distances.
In the rural parts of Schleswig-Hol
steln people do not measure distance
by miles, as we do, or by hours, as
in other parts of Germany. They say
that a place is a pipe, or two pipes,
or three pipes off, according to the
number of pipes one could smoke
while walking there. Shorter dis
tances are reckoned by dogs’ barks;
a village under a mile away would be
two or three dogs' barks,
