OUR BIG POLITICAL DERBY.
The Colt From COWetd Still Leading
the Old War Horse.

Evans Gallops Away From His Rival
in Fulton and Clarke, but the Latter
Sets the Pace in Macon and Han
cock - The Runners Out of Sight
in the Dash Through Camden-How
They Stand to Date.
The race for gubernatorial delegates
Yesterday was nip and tuck. Camden
county is remote from the telegraph wires
and the outcome of it's primary is not
known yet. If Evans carries the county,
he will have gained 10 votes yesterday to
6 for Atkinson. If on the other hand At
kinson wins Camden, he will quit even
with Evans in the days dash.
Here is the way the returns from yes
terday's primaries show up;
EVANS.

THE TOTALS TO DATE.
This makes the totals to date, leaving
out Camden's two votes:
Atkinson. neutrality-suspicious.. 6s
Evans OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .,.... 62
The following counties act to-day:
Chattahoochee, Charlton, Dade, Mcln-
tosh, Polk, Pierce, Putnam and Jones,
with two votes each and Coweta with
four votes. There is some question as to
whether Jones and Mcintosh will act.
In both of these counties, one of which,
by the way, Jones, is apt to go for At
knson, and the other, Mcintosh, which
will probably cast its fortune with
Evans, the call does not specifically state
that delegates are to be elected.
At the end of today's ballOting IA
delegates will have been elected, leaving
2O6 yet to be selected
FULTON FOR EVANS.
Atlanta Ca, June Fulton county's
primary to-day was quiet in spite of the
contest between w. H. Venable and E.
w. Martin for the delegates to the sena-
torial convention. There was no opposi-
tion to Gen. Evans for governor, but a
few scattering votes were cast for Mr..
Atkinson.

state Senate by about 500.
All the state house officers, including
Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt, were
indorsed
Mr. Venable is the man who gave the
barbecue at Stone Mountain to the Inter-
national Press League last month. He
