cat lie J isiob county today Nearly 3,
votes were cast and Atkins jb’o
majority is 633. i'be consolidation ,
will not be made until tomorrow,
the total cast for the various candi
dates, statehouse officers, etc cannot
be fully estimated tonight'
Atkinson carried even precinct in
the city, and loet only two in the en
tire county, and these by very slen
der majorities. Hazard district in th-:
country gave Evans 2 majority aud
Godfrey gave him 27 maj irity in a
vote for 3l»O. The re mainder of the
precincts were carried by Atkinson by
tue fallowing majorities' City hah2-i<
court house, 75 ; East Macon, 90
Findlay foundry, 184; Howard, 26;
Warrior, 20; Rutland, 27. Atkiuso i‘s
majority at the city p ocincts was 590
ana 43 at th** county precincts, m ik
ing a total of 633 in the entire coun >.
At noon today it seemed that
Evans would carry the county by
at least 200 majority, but the At
kinson men rallied under fine
generalship. From 1 o’ciock until
t> this atteruoou the battle wageo
Inottest.
The polls opened at 7 o'clock
this m >ruing and d d no clo *

At 1 o’clock p. m. what is known
as “the silent vote,” composed ot
ihe men of the town, who make
io hurrah, but go quietly to the
polls and deposit their ballots,
commenced to be cast for Atkin
son, aud immediately the tide be
gan to turn iehis favor. Tnis vote
was supplemented by the labor
vote, which began to pour out ot
the foundries, railroad and other
shops, and the battle was won for
Atkinson.
The main voting of the day was
at the courthouse and city hall.
At the former 861 votes were cast
and at the latter 815 were cast,
[t was at the courthouse precinct
hat the Evans men rested their
chief hope-
A more exciting race has not
been run in Bibo county in twelve
years. The contest has also excit
ed great interest throughout the
•'tat*. The city has been flooded
with telegrams from "all parts of
Georgia inquiring about the re
suit.
The great demonstration mad e
by speakers here in the past few
days in the interest of Evans was
ph-.uomenal. Clifford Anderson,
Dupont Guerry, Washington Des
sau, W. A. Huff, C. A. Turner and
>ther eloquent and impassioned
speakers took the stump, aud tor
days and, nights stormed the city.
The above “special” from the
Atlanta Constitution tells the

NIGHT,

ny which made Miss Sadie Joice

•if the allied families being pres
eut.
After the ceremony the happy
coup e left for a bridal tour and a
honey moon to be spent in the
romantic scenes of the old mono
tains of North Carolina.
Mrs. K ng, the charming bride
is one oi Romes bands meet, most
dharmiug and cultured daughters.
She wes the only unmarried child
'hat remained under the rooftr >
of Col. aud Mrs. T. W. Aiexauuer
And with her gone, the horn will
uatundiy loose much of its sun
shine.
Mr. King, the proud groom, is
well known and as popular as a
quiet, jeserved, “good fellow’
mows bow to be. He is certainly
to be congratulated on winning
such a Jewel.
