as putting out misleading tickets composed
OF some OF their candidates, headed by Gov.
NortheD and other democratic candidates.
An enort was made to cut off the vote for
hon. A. s, Clay for senator by one of these
fake tickets. There was no trouble of dis
orderly nature, however.
A noticeable feature of the balloting in the
city was the rejection OF the proposed con-
sti5utlonal amendment providing for annual
sessions Of the legislature. 1t is probable
that this amendment will be lost. None Of
the third party leaders were in the city
during the day. Col. Peek openly said
before the election that his ticket would be
counted out by the managers and there was
a great cry of fraud, but the democratic
majority will be so great that the third
party leaders will very likely accept the re-
suit OF an honest rebuke.
Returns from 100 counties received at
midnight put the democratic majority at
more than 10000. Other returns will
certainly increase the majority to at least
$1,000 sud probably more than that. The
other 81 counties will be heard from before
morning, but the democratic majority in
the state may be safely estimated at so, COO.
THE TENTH DISTRICT.
AUGUSTA, GA, Oct. 5.-Richmond
county polled to-day 5,574 votes, of which
4,567 were democratic, and 1,0O7 third
$500. Hancock adds 500 democratic ma
jority and Wilkinson $50 more
Against this total of 4,2l0, the third
party polls the following major
tiles; Columbia $50, Lincoln 45O .
Warren 45O, McDufie $50 Glassoock
800, Taliaferro $50, Washington l5O.
Total, 1900, leaving a net democratic
total IN the district of 1910. There is
every reason to believe from these returns
that the full third party strength was
polled in the district, while it is evident
that Richmond can easily increase her ma
Jority another thousand. There were only
5,574 votes polled to-day and the November
registry list will be about 5000 democrats.
MAI. BLACKS ELECTION ASSURED.
The result assures Maj. Blacks election
next month by 5000, or at least $500,
At O'Clock this morning Dan Bowles
shot and killed Isaac Horton, a turbulent
negro. at Poor House precinct, five miles

Dave Lang, a challenger for the independ-

police, and a Mershon worker, the lie to-day.
Randolph and Lang came near clinohing,
but were separated. Later Hardy Stafford,
an independant, took up the fight and Ran
dolph struck at him. Hardy leveled his
pistol at Lang and would have shot Raa-
dolph but for the interference of
