In the State election I not ce
that Seab Wright received 2015
votes while Governor Atkinson got
J 746 in this coun'y, giving Floyd
to Mr. Wright by 268 majority.
This, however, does not give Floyd
to tbe Popnlis's. Suppose we figure
a lii tie on the results.
* *
* „ *■
On the State ticket,Secretary of
State Candler, a Democrat. »ec iv
ed 2285, while Parsons, on the Pop
c.cket received only 1356, a major,
ity of 929 for the Democrats. Again,
Comptroller General W.A. Wright
2289 as a Democrat,while Bell, his
‘Pop opponent got only 1360, a ma
jor! y of 929 for the democrat.
• ' *
* *
And yet even these figures are
not a full showing of Floyd’s Dem
ocratic strength in the race, for in
the rush at the polls many a voter
forgot state house officers in his
eagernets to vote the Seab Wright
ticket. Now, look at it from this
point of view Seab got 2015 vo’es
in the county. This was 659 mo e
v Les than his Secretary of Siate
Parsons received. Atkinson got
1747 which was 538 votes behind
Secretary Candler.
*
* ii-
Iu Livngston Atkinson got 60
v. hiie all his state house ticket got
120 each. On the other hand Liv
iugston gave Seab 74 and only gave
his s ate ticket 8 votes, each. In
most of the couptvy districts Gov
ernor A 1 kicson was knifed a few
votes whi e Seab Jed h& ticket by
a few.
*
* *
In the Rome dis’rict 2168 votes
Wrre polled and Gov. Atkinson re
ceived 1014 and Mr. Wright 1116,
*
eaving 34 headless tickets that
were polled. Os the country dis
tricts Atkinson carried North Car
olina 133 to 63, ( r 70 majority.
Seab carried Flatwoods 97 to 36 or
61, his largest majority out of
R uie Barkers gave Atkinson 3
«nd Wright 22.
* *
*
But let's look further. Rome
gave Seab 1116 and N \in 1180
The country districts gave Seab
899 and Nevin 789. 4he county
gave S-ab 2015 and Nevin 1969.
Nevin, lab >r candidate for Legisla
ture with 1969 is 683 ah-ad of
Palmer, Populist, and 810 ahead
of Wheeler, Republican In th»
districts outside of Koine th- re
turns show Nevin,' 7c9, Pa mer
6b7 and Wheeler 675.
w
* *
All of which suggests that if the
labor element of Rome «-lected
Capt. Nevin and had stood to the
Pop and Repub candidates like the
Pops and Repubs in the country
stood to the town-or-labor-inan
the Democratic nom<mes would
have all been defea’ed—except,
perhaps, Capt. Reece. I don’i be
lieve the labor element con'd have
e ccted Capt. Nevin, however, ex
cept for the loyarty of his own
friends and the help given him bj
many ot the warm' friends o f his
late lamented father.
* *
*
We-ley Shropshire, of Chattoo
ga, nej hew of Seab Wright, but a
Democrat, carried the count ry dis
tricts <>f Floyd 901 over Weaver,
Pop 679 and carried Rome 1414 to
685—carrying Floyd by9sl major
ity. Mr. Shropshire has carried
Chattooga by 666 and Bartow by
551 and is elected Senator by about
2168 majority.
*
* *
For Legislature Capt. J. H.
Reece, Democrat, came to Rome
with 891 votes and got 1324 at the
Rome I'-jx, a total us 2215. Capt
Nevin, labor candidate, came to j
Koine with 789 and got 1180 at
this box. a total of 1969 Col. Bill
Ennis, Democrat, came to Koine
with 802 and got 1109 at this box,
making 1911 votes. Capt Corput,
Democrat, bame co Rome with 699,
kjot 1082 at this box, or a total of
1781. Nevin, second man, is 246
behind Reece and is 58 ahead of
Ennis, while Ennis is 130 ahead

of Capt. Co put.

Another comparison is 'hat of
Ordinary Davis and Col. Cicen,
Cements. Judge Davis comes t>
theci'y with 891 vot> s, Mr. Clem
ents with 734. In Rome Davis got
1259 and Clements 882, <>r a total
of 2150 to 1616, a majo'ity of 534.
And yet there were manv wha
backed their judgement and lost
money on the self-made ma., who
.Mr. Clements souirht to defeat.
Tins was a big victory to Judge
Davis and shows that John D
Moore has some few trends in
this neck of the woods.

Sheriff McConnell and his pFucky
staff of hustling deputies did'l do
a i.mg to Mr. McCollum, their
clever opp inent, except to beat
him by a majority of 1063. She i
McCoi neil came to Koine with
893 votes against 715. In Rome
McConnell got 1504 to 619 or a to
tal < f 2397 to 1334. This was the
niggest majority 4' the election,
in this county and J. P. McCon
nell is the best sheriff in Georgia,
to -.

* *
For Tax Co.'lec or Mr. V. T
Saulurd, the m ininee, came Io the
city with 838 votes, Mr. Edmon
son assisted by Mr. C. J Price
came in with 773 voles. In Rome
Sand ord got 1162 to 956 or aliotal
of 2 00 to 1729 —i majority 01271 .
I A hard fought and well won ight.

For.Tax sseasor Col. BnhFos
t r, li.e nominee and present in
c unbent came to Rome with 845
to Mr. Cowan’s 786. In li me
they got 1344 and 799 or a jotal
oi 2189 to 1585 —a majority, for
' r. Foster, ol 7(54 BobFos eijhus
been iried and found true as seel.
He is one of nhe finest and -can
h >ld his office as long as he whits
it.

For Coroner, Mr. F. H. Schhp
bach, Democrat, defeated M'.T.
M. Drennon, Republican, the pies
ent incumbent. Mr. SchlapbaCn
came to Rome with 829 votes t«
Mr. Drennon’s 767 ;in Rome th-j
received 1360 and 747 respectively,

One other shot: Suppose thl

of 2285 is the Democra'ic
and it is 30 vo'es 'ess fhaii Sena

Capt Nevin ran about 600 ahei
of'he Pop ticket; Palmer, P<\
C<m nearly a hundred behind I
and Whe ler, Repub, just a hu
dred behind Palmer. Reece, Ne
in,E'inis, Corput, Palmer, Whee l
and Walker received, all told, IC
546 votes. If 3900 votes werepoilf
how many voters scratched the
tickets, or how much “single shof
work was done? I figure it tin
1154 names were erased

Gov. Atkinson carries 106 cou

That
Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every
body at this season. The hustlers cease to
push, the tireless grow weary, the ener
getic become enervated. You know just
what we mean. Some men and women
endeavor temporarily to overcome that
Tired
Feeling by great force of will. But this
is pnsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the
nervous system, which will not long stand
such strain. Too many people “work on
theirnerves,” and the result is seenin un
fortunate wrecks marked “nervous pros
tration,” in every direction. That tired
Feel-
Ing is a positive proof of thin, weak, im
pure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red,
vitalized aud vigorous, it imparts lifeand
energy to every nerve, organ and tissue
of the body. The necessity of taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla for that tired feeling
is, therefore, apparent to every one, and
the good it will do you is equally beyond
question. Remember that
