THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 197. At 3 O’clock This Morning He Led by Over [OO. MANAGERS ARE COUNTING YET ♦ WILL PROBABLY BE 8 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING BEFORE THE RESULT IN ALL CONTESTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED. THE CROVATT MEN DO NOT AS YET CONCEDE DEFEAT—BER RIE REELECTED OVER HIS OPPONENT. The (1; mocratic primary yesterday to nominate a state senator, repre sentative and all county officers was one of the hardest fought, yet good natured contests ever witnessed in Glynn county. From the time the polls were open ed until the dosing hour the different candidates and their supporters were battling. for vote's and, in many in dances, the scenes around the court house were exciting. The most interesting ton test, of course, was for the state senate, for which there were to candidates, Judge A, J. Orovatt ami lion. W. F. Symons. It was known that this race would be very close, and the workers fiollt :1 t voiy vote possible, then' being a total of 554 in Brunsick, while there were only nine hundred registered in the city. At an early hour this morning, the indications are that Symons will bn elected by a majority of between fifty and a hundred votes, although nun/ of frovaU's supporters are still claiming victory for their candidate, (in account of the lengthy ticket and the many scratches me judges will hardly hompletn h woi*. of < cunfirig tlie votes beiorc 7 or h o’clock, and the final result will not be known until every one of the votes ais counted. in the other contests, there Is also very much doubt. From the votes counted last night, however, it is evi dent that Sheriff Berrie has been re elected by a good majority, while the race between Jennings and Turner for coroner, seems to he very close, as is also the contest between Fergu son and I lubberly, for receiver of tax returns, and between Penniman and Myers for surveyor, and it is a diffi cult matter to even attempt to pre dict the victors in those contests. Outside of Brunswick Judge Crovatt received a majority of twelve votes, which surprised his friends as it was the opinion that Mr. Symons would come to Brunswick with a majority, which the Crovatt supporters thought they could overcome at this precinct. When the result was received from the county precincts and it was learn ed that Crovatt was in the lead his stock took a jump and odds of two to one were offered with but few takers. In fact, w'hen the liolls closed it was the general belief among his friends that he wouid be elected, while Symons supporters admitted that the result would be very close. A bet of SIOO to SSO was made as late as 11 o’clock last night tnat Cro vatt would be elected, while small bets, at the same ratio of odds, were numerous. SYMONS STILL LEADING. As The News goes to press at an early hour this morning, the mana- gers have abo lit 150 more votes to count. Mr. Symons leads Judge Cru by one hunileej votes. This almost insures his election, and iris snpportrs now concede that they are defeated. il is not known how the other con tests will come out.as no count was kept during the night. It is certain, however.that Sheriffllerrio is reelected while Dave Gale won a big victory in his race for a member of the executive com mittee. TREASURE ISLAND FOUND.
