Smith, Governor Brown’s cam paign manager, still smiling, debonair and unruffled, concedes the defeat of his candidate in the following grace ful words: "Os course, we concede the election to Governor Smith, and you may say have professed, we cannot be too con siderate to many of our opponents Democracy without understanding just what we meant. We should now, without any effort to tantalize or mor tify them at their defeat, seek loving ly to show them that our principles are really those in which they believe and that they were not with us be cause they did not understand them. “The election will not bring its proper result to the people of Geor gia if it means simply that I am to fill the governor's office for two years. “We should seek to convince the COLQUITT.

AC ' iUST 31 1910. for me that I am greatly pleased with the clean manner in which the opposition conducted the campaign. “While, of course, Governor Brown is not re-elected, I feel all right about it. In this connection I wish to extend thanks to the friends of Governor Brown, who stood so loyally by him. great body of the voters of Georgia that our principles are right, and in this way we will prevent the possibil ity of another hard struggle two years from now and will insure the elec tion of a governor and legislature two years hence in accord with the poli cies of progressive Democracy. Our aim should be to establish these prin ciples in the hearts and minds of so overwhelmingly a majority of the voters of the state that reactionary candidates will be entirely unable to produce another contest like that through which we have just passed.” VOTE IN CONVENTION OF ALL CANDIDATES Below is presented a complete report of the votes that will be cast in the state convention for each of the candidates in the state primary of August 23, who carried a county In Georgia.

One of the remarkable surprises of the state campaign is the defeat of Peyton M. Hawes of Elbert by W. J. Speer of Fulton for state treasurer by a majority of 19,000 or more. The surprise is occasioned by the fact that the early returns,which were mostly pure estimates, seemed to give Mr. Hawes a handsome majority, esti mated at about 8,000. But when the official returns came in, Mr. Speer had a 19,000 majority. RED HOT CONTESTS IN CONGRESSIONAL RACES. Athens.—The final returns from El bert county gave William M. Howard a majority of two votes, giving the present congressman re-election with sixteen votes out of the 28. In view of the close count and tha delay in returns from Elbert county, which decide the race, Mr. Tribble has filed contest for this county and the nomination will be litigated. Unusual interest was manifested throughout the state POPULAHON CENTER IS NEAR OLD LOCATION Evenly Distributed Growth Is Shown By Census. INDIANA RfMINS THE AXIS Columbus, Indiana, Again the Center of Popu lation—Texas Leads Increase in Southern States. Washington.—Columbus, Ind., is not destined to lose any prestige it may have enjoyed during the past decade from being marked on the census maps as the place nearest the cen ter of population. It probably will continue to be in the vicinity of that mark after the full developments of the thirteenth census become known. The returns received to date indi cate a fairly even growth in all di rections from the present central point, the result of which must be to leave the point at its present gen eral neighborhood. Only a small percentage of the total of the population has been announced thus far, but enough is shown by the general trend to justify some gener alizations. Probably the most import ant of these is the Eastern states ate holding their own to such an extent as to indicate the ‘'pull" of the West will not be sufficient to disturb great ly the present equilibrium. With some exceptions, the East Is showing as marked growth as the West. Probably there will not be as pronounced gain in individual cases, but the average bids fair to be almost if not quite as good. The Eastern growth is attributable in the strain to the development of indus trial enterprises along the Northern Atlantic seaboard. Os the Southern states, Texas will make the best showing, but Georgia «:lso will manifest a very creditable growth, as will also the two Carolinas The South will continue to be the most American section, in that it will show the presence of fewer 'inmi grants from abroad' than any other portion of the Union. RAILROAD PLANS EXTESION. Seeks to Reach Chattanooga and Bir mingham. Chattanooga, Tenn.—There is a ru mor curren in Gadsden, Ala., to the effect that the Chattanooga Southern railroad, which runs from this city to Gadsden, is contemplating making a connection at that point with the Georgia, Florida and Alabama rail road, a big system in the southeastern part of the state. The rumor has it that the G., F. & A. is already at work building a line from the mam line south of Columbus through Richmond, Ga., to Junction City, Ala., on the A., B. & A., over which road it intends to operate trains into Birmingham. From Birmingham, the G., F. & A. intends to build a line to Gadsden, which, connecting there with the Chat tanooga Southern, would give a through trunk line from Tallahassee, I Fla., to Chattanooga, where further! northern connections would be had. ' —.—_ 1 JAPAN ANNEXES KOREA. Annexation of Korea Is Announced by ; Japan Newspapers. Seoul. Korea, —Unofficial announce ment of the annexation of Korea by ; Japan was made here, the Korean newspapers being permitted to pup lish the news of the meeting between Lieutenant General Terauchi, the Jap- : anese resident general, and the Kor- ; ean emperor and cabinet at the palace here. August 22, at which the terms of annexation were discussed and ac cepted by the emperor and his cab inet. The announcement has caused no excitement. Many of the leading Koreans appear unconcerned about the change in the status of their country, recognizing that annexation was inevitable. ' i Birthplace of Cleveland. < Newark, N. J.—The birthplace of ! Grover Cleveland at Caidwell, N. J., i is to be purchased by Democratic lead- i ers of Caldwell and neighboring i towns for use as a club house. ' Champion Voter. Newark, N. J. —The town of Braces ville, near here, during the past week, ; celebrated the ninetieth birthday an niversary of Benjamin Colt, a retired , farmer who holds a record for casting the greatest number of ballots. For . the past sixty-nine years he has been a franchised voter and since reaching his majority has never been absent from the polls on election day. Mr. Colt has always prided himself on be ing an independent in politics, but he says he hats voted ‘democratically” most of the time. Atlanta’s Population 154,839. Washington.—The census bureau announced Atlanta's population. The 1 official figure is 154,359. From 89,872 in 1900, the city has made a leap of 64,967, or a gain in : population of 72.3 per cent, during the 1 past ten years. This places Atlanta where she has always claimed to be; “A city of the first magnitude.” It proves without a shadow of a doubt that the so-calied “hot air” is not a vapor, but it is the real, solid, substantial goods. NO. 3. BOLL WEEVIL IN ALABAMA. Dreaded Cotton Pest Appears in Franklin, Coun ty, Alabama. Russellville, Ala.—The boll weevil has appeared in Franklin county, in the northwestern part of the state. Cotton squares were punctured and dropped off. Specimens of the pest will be sent to the state agricultural department, althougn Texans residjpg tn Franklin county are positive the bug is the genuine boll weevil. The appearance of the pest in Ala bama bears out the recent prediction of a government expert that it would invade this state this fall.

Heroic Measures to Stamp , Out' Disease. .' # - Washington. Heroic meastxrej have been taken in Austrip. to sASfefp out pellagra, which has a run therfe similar to that in the Southern states of this country. Commercial Agent Henry Studnichka of Vienna has sent a statement to the Department of Commerce and Labor as follows: "In order to stop the popular use of infected co.rn meal, which is held re sponsible for the disease, the Austrian government has constructed in south ern Tyrol six modern steam rye bak eries, which are under the direct su pervision of the governor of the province, assisted by a number of subordinate officers. The city gov ernments of this section also rigidly supervise and inspect all private bak eries. A HUMAN OSTRICH. Hatpins, Keys and Pistols Found in Man’s Stomach. Cairo, Ill.—Before Frank W.
