THE DAY IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Nov. 8.-The day opened
cloudy in Georgia. A slight mist has been
falling ever since morning with occasional
rains. The vote in the state is exceedingly
large and in the Tenth district, represented
by Tom Watson, is the heaviest ever known
Several days ago Judge Speer Of the United
State court for the Southern district
Of Georgia, decided that all state and
local registration laws were unconsti-
tutional on the ground that all registration
laws must be uniform throughout the state.
In Georgia some counties have registration
laws and others not. In the Tenth district
only three counties have local registration,
one of which is Richmond, the largest
county In the district.
WATSON WHIPPED OUT.
Judge Speer's decision has had the effect
OF invalidating the registration enactments
for these counties. In Richmond county
the registration was little more than 5000.
Indications at this hour are that the vote
polled will be 1000. No attention is be-
ing paid to registration lists under the de-
cree Of Judge Speer. This insures Richmond
countysto the democratic nominee, Hon. J.
G. G. Black, over Tom Watson for congress
by from 5000 to 5000 majority. 1t is I'M
possible for Watson to reach the Richmond
county line with more than 5000 majority @,
and it is probable that his majority will be
less than that.

ceived, Ben Russell will beat Hand, the
