THE STORY FROM sANDERSvILLE.
SANDERsvILLE, GA, Aug. 1.-The demo-
cratic primary election was held here to-
day. Congressman Barnes and Mr.. Wat

county. The result was that MIR. Watson
carried the county by at least five votes to
one. The old state house officers were re-
nominated by a unanimous vote, except
commissioner of agriculture. For that
office Col. Hunnicutt's majority will be at
the lowest estimate 500. The election was
unusually quiet. Mr.. Watson will carry
the twenty precincts in the county. At
torney General Andersons majority over
Judge Lester is very hattering.

farmers and alliancemen, were nominated
by good majorities for the legislature.

allianceman, received good vote, but was
defeated.
