ATLANTA, November Tex State Senator
Dagger. of Fannin county, the Republican
candidate for Congress In the Ninth district,
is here, and tells me 1t is very close con-
test between Speer and Gambler. He would
not bet nickel on either side, and yet over
$500, 900 will change hands tomorrow over
the result in the Fifth. Seventh aud Ninth
districts. The excitement here is intense,
and bets are now being made on Speer's
success or defeat. Both speer's and Cand-
ler's friends and those of FELTON, and Glenn
ents claim the victory.
Buck does not appear to have pushed
Hammond as hard as was anticipated in this
vicinity.
It was very pleasant day, and there was
nothing to prevent polling full vote in
North aud Middle Georgia.

feated.
