Hon. Joseph M. Brown
Elected Governor.
Incomp'ete returns from the
election show that Hon. Joseph
M Brown, the regular democrat,
ic nominee was elec e 1 for gover
nor ovt'r Yancy Carter, candidate
for the Independence League, bj
a majority from eighty to ninety
thousand votes. A light vote
was polled, as is usually the case
in a general election.
Mr. Carter did not succeed in
mustering sufficient votes to cut
much figure in the election. Th<
indications are that the consti¬
tutional amendment providing
for disfranchisement of the negro
was also carried, but this matter
is so close that it cannot be de¬
termined definitely before to¬
morrow. The outcome of tin
election f - ”on com ui is
s tula commissioner
Lindsay is re elected. In the
Pelham precinct there were about
200 votes polled. 142 of which
were for Joseph M. Brown and
about 50 for Yancy Carter. The
majority for Brown in Mitchell
county was about 850

Mitchell Investigates
Linton Case for Himself
Thomaaville, Ga., October 5.—
There is nothing new in the Lin¬
ton case. Mr. Mitchell is still
investigating the affair on his
own responsibility. He still as¬
serts his innocence, and says he
had nothing to do with' the ab¬
duction.
If he is convicted at the next
term of court it is expected that
he will be given a lunacy trial,
this crime being so at variance
with deeds of his former life.
There are still a number of un¬
accountable features in the case
that the public does not know,
