est third party counties in the district

LowNDEs COUNTY.
VALDosTA, GA, Oct. 5.-We have met
the enemy aud they are ours. Never since
the days Of reconstruction has Valdosta
seen such an election as was held to-day,
and democracy won complete victory
Complete returls have only been received
from the precincts on the railroad and'the
near country precincts. This precinct
pol!ed sos votes, the democrats 555 and the
third party 250, giving u democratic ma jor-
ity of 305. Sem official returns from all
the precincts except two show that the
county will give 600 democratic
majority and the official returns will
change it very little. Some scratch
ing was done, but the third
party tickets received the most of It, The
majority received by the different demo-
cratic candidates will vary some, but the
figures given are very near correct for all.
The vote polled was the heaviest in the
history of the county, and very near the
full registration was polled. Everything
passed off quietly aud no disturbance was
reported in auy part Of the county. The
colored vote was di 5ided. Most of them
voted the democratio ticket.
sPALDING COUNTY.
GRIFFIN, GA, Oct. 5.-A more quiet cleo,
tion was never held in the county than that
of day. The work necessary had been
done before the polls opsned at O'CLOCK
this morning, hence all that remained to be
done was to receive the ballots, The vote
was light. Two districts Union aud Aiken,
have not been officially heard from, but
conservative estimates have been given all
the candidates, hence the figures given
will not tie materially changed when
the official figures are in. All the
constitutional amendments received the
democratic majority. The voting to-day
revealed two third party candidates for the
legislature, Col. T. w. Fink aud B. N.
Miner. Both fell behind their ticket as the
vote shows. The vote was as follows: For
governor. W. j. Northern, 91S; w. L. Peek,
1913. For representative. John l. Hall, 92l; {;
T. w. Fink, As; B. n. Miner, 80. For
senator, Twenty-third district A. o. Bla-
lock, dem, 655; j ohm Champers, third party,
l30. The negroes voted 3 to l for Gov.
Northen and democracy. The third party
carried Line Greek district by small ma
jority. All is quiet Tonight.
BROOKS COUNTY.
QUITMAN. GA, Oct. 5.-The elsotion
passed off quietly here to-day aud
Brooks will roll up her usual dsmo-
cratic majority. Returns from the country
precincts are coming in slowly, AMI il will
probably be midnight before the
vote here is counted. In vote
of probably 1,500 Gov. Northen and the
state house ticket will receive q majority of
not less than 500. The third party vote will
show up ridiculously small and will not ex-
coed 100. The only semblance OF a contest
was between Sims, the democratic nominee
fer the House, and a negro named Br anham.
The negroes single-shotted for Branham
and this created some little appre-
hension during the day. Sims majority
over the negro though will be about 400
candidate for the Senate, 200 or 500 votes
in the county. The third party on last
Saturday brought out j. d. Boseman for
the legislature. Buseman will not
receive over 100 votes. The third party
is not in it and to-day W II probably prove
its death knell in this county.

not allin, but enough are at hand to insure

sentative il elected It is probable that
