A HOKE SMITH LANDSLIDE.
The stale democratic primary
election held last Wednesday re
sulted in a landslide for Hoke
Smith which completely crushed
the four opposing candidates. Nor
was the landslide confined to any
particular section of the state,
hut extended from the oentor to
the stale limits in every direction.
Hoke Smith defeated Clark How
ell in his home county by 1,904
votes; he carried Bibb county, the
homo of Mr. Ilriwnll’a campaign
manager by 880 votes; lie carried
Jackson county, the homo of Judge
Russell, byH00vot.es; ho carried
Meriwether county, the homo of
Ciovernoi* Torrell, by more thun
800 majority, and closely pressed
both Colonel JCstill and Colonel
Jim Smith in thoir home counties
Of the larger cities of the state
ho carried Atlanta, Augusta, Ma
con, Columbus and Rome. Of the
145 counties of the state, the indi-
cations aro that ho has carried Hi
He will havo more than 800 votes
in the nominating convention, nn>'
jvill bo nominated by acclamation
l The opposing candidates appear
to have played a very iv forior
part in the election. Mr. Howell
has probably carried seven coun-
tivs, Judgo Russell ten, Gift. Est ill
four and Col, Jim Smith I ring**
up the rear of the proocsAiou with
only three, Oglethorpe. Madison
nnd McDuffie.
Taking it all in nil Hoke Smith
has won tho greatest political vic
tory over won in Georgia, and. il
stamps him ns the foremost Geor
gian of his time. Against him
was arrayocL a combination of po
litical forces horetofors consider
ed invincible in Georgia, non they
fought him with a desperation of
despair, hut ho met them at overy
point, ask no quarter, gave no
quarter, and the .final contest re
sulted in thoir complete annihila
tion.
Of course, after an acrimonious
political contest the bitter feeling
aroused will, to some extent, re
main for nwhilo, hut now that it
is settled that Hoke Smith is to
bo the next, governor of Georgia,
Idt those of cur felhnv citizens
"•ho”opposed his nomination cense,
»s soon a: possible, to look upon
him ns a political opponent, but
rally to his support, nnd assist in
making his administration the
best, tho state has had.
After nil, the governor is only
the agent of the people, and Hoke
Smith is big enough to bo the
agentof all the people, those who
opposed him as well ns those who
gave him t-hdir support.
EDITORIAL NOTES ON
THE SI A TE CAMPAIGN.
Now, that the atatn campaign is
over we may expect to coo the sim
ply ot reudtng matter which has
been coming into McDuffie coun
ty considerably reduced. There,
lias never been a time when as
many newspapers come into the
county as during tho campaign
that, has just endod. But now’ its
good-bye, Constitution, Journal
and Southern Field.
Speaking of the Southern Field ;
Larry Gantt said a few weeks ago
that ho had only used two car
loads of paper. In this we think
ho was mistaken, for wo are satis
fied that ho has Bent at least five
carloads into McDuffie county
alone, to say nothing of the other
counties into which it was sent.
The other day two farmers wore
discussing the unusual supply of
free papers coming into McDuffie
county, and one remarked that he
had read so much that ho had
worn out his eyes. The other
said, “Why that's nothing, man I
I’ve read so much I’ve worn out
my eyo*glass( s.”
If all reports are true the cam
paign increased tho circulating
medium in McDiiffla^gmnit.y by a
few thousand dollars. This may
or it may not bo true, but one
tiling wo are sure that it decreased
tho supply of hogs by several hun
dred.
Siiico Wednesday everybody in
McDuffie is smiling. We have
never soon an election that gave
such universal "satisfaction. The
Hokeitesare rejoicing over the
magnificent victory of their man
in tho state, and tho Jiinit.es over
thoir splendid victor}’ in McDuffie.
On overy hand we hear of men
“swearingoff ” from politics. They
say they will never take an inter-
SEND IN VOUR DOLLAR.
Chairman J. M. Griggs of the
democratic, congressional commit
tee has issued an appeal to demo
cratic voters asking each to send
one dollar to defray the expenses
of the present congressional cam
paign. The appeal is issued to cjll
democratic voters, so it, makes no
difference what variety of demo
crat you are, send him the dollar.
The Appeal, which wo gladly pub
lish at his request, ia as follows:
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COM
MITTEE.
Washington, D. C., Ang. 15, ’0G.
To nil Democ ntic Voters:—if
there ever was a time in tho histo
ry of the democratic party for the
manifestation of loyalty and pa
triotism on the part of its mem
bers, it is right now.
If we are to win ar victory and
elect u president *wo years hence,
we must first eloct a house of rep
resentatives this fall. A den o-
cratie house can nnd will investi
gate every department of the gov
ernment. With all*'of them hon
eycombed by “graft,” tho edges
of which, only, have boon touched
by recent exposure and prosecu
tions, there will be a revelation
of rottenness that will astound
the country and create a demand
lor a democratic administration to
clean the government workshop.
To win the house we need rxmey
to defray legitimate expenses and
get out our vote. We have no pro
tected monopolies from which to
draw to till our coffers, as they do
those of the republican party.” We
must, therefore, appeal to loyal
democrats for contributions.
Will you send n« $1.1)0 at once,
and in return for this we will send
yon copies of our campaign litera
ture as issued by the committee.
You will have tho thanks of the
entire democratic party, for your
favorable response to our request.
Address all remittances to,
J. M. Gil :gh, Chairman.

Wo often hoar of a runaway

last number of the North Ameri

Mitchell tells of the unintentional
diversion of tho Colorado river
from its channel into a basin <-a 11 -
ej the “Salton Sea.” It appears
that, an irrigation company cut a
canal from tho Colorado river to

We readily admit that, these
