HEAVY VOTE IN STATE ELECTION EXPECTED HERE Senatoral Race and Peach County Fight to Bring Out Many Voters. LIVELY TURN YESTERDAY IN SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN Arrival of Brinkins, Colored Politician Fromo Camden, Es pousing Cause of One Candi date- Starts Pot Boiling. I Ordinarly only a small percentage of registered voters oast their bal ; lot s a t a general election, due to the i fact that there is never any oPposiion ; to the regular Democratic nominees, , but today i n Glynn county it is ex | pected that an unusually heavy vote | will be polled, both because of the | spirited senatorial race in the Fourth district and the lively campaign be- I ing waged for and against th e crea tion of P e ace county. The former contest, of course, is I attracting the most attention and will ! draw a large number of voters to I the polls. Jus t how many votes will be cast was not predicted last night i by either side, but, as there are ap proximately seventeen hundred qual ified in the county, it is likely that at least half the number will vote. The two candidates for the senate are Jas. T. Vocelle, the regular nortfc inee of the Democratic Party, and C. S. Arnow, independent candidate, both of Camden county and both re siding at St. Marys. Mr. Vocelle was nominated in the September primary over Jack Liles by a majority of forty votes and it was thought that the senatorial question was settled, opposition developed and at a meeting a few weeks ago at Kings land Mr. Arnow was nominated by a newly-organized Citizens League. Since then charges and counter charges have been made by friends of the two candidates, the battle has been carried into Glynn and Charl ton, the two other counties composing the Fourth district and a spirited bitter campaign has been waged, in which much bitternes s has bee n in jected and considerable mud hurled. As Glynn county has as many reg istered voters as the other two com bined, this city has been the storm center of the campaign for the Past few days, and the people generally have been pretty well worked up over it. A development yesterday which added much to th e campaign was the arrival in the city of E. W. Brinkins, of Camden county, who at once went Into conference with local republican Politicians with a view of assisting the candidacy of Mr. Arnow. It was stated that two or three small meet ings wei'e held last night, as a re sult of Brinkins’ visit, and that the negroes of the city had about de cided to solidly support the independ ent candidate. Friends of Mr. Anow i n Brunswick stated that they had nothing what ever to do with th e coming of Brink ins to the city, while on the other hand Mr. Vocell’s friends said that the injection of the negro politician could hardly be charged to them in asmuch as he was opposing the Democratic nominee. Anyway the arrival of Brinkins was considerably discussed in all sections of the city yesterday. The Polls will ope n at the court house thi s morning a t 7 o’clock and will close at 6 this afternoon. In BRUNSWICK Has a landlocked harbor, the best on the South Atlantic Coast.
