with no more physical labor than is
required to sew in factory, while
both the pay and the surroundings are
much better. Mrs. Judd makes point
of having the rooms in which her work
is done neat, attractive and thorough
~ comfortable. A place is provided
where the women and girls can get
themselves warm lunch, and there is
no work done after half-past Ave
o'clock.
The result of all this is that excep-
tionally Intelligent and refined women
are glad to enter Mrs. Judd's employ.
They are neatly and tastefully dressed
while doing their work; in fact, Mrs.
Judd insists that they shall be SO
dressed. There is, indeed. no reason
why they should not, as everything is
SO arranged that there is none of the
soil and slop which has long been sup

Judge George T.. Gober, OF the Blue Ridge

that as far as Fannin county is concerned

THE C0NTEST IN BALDWIN
After "a judicial Investigation Evans
Claims 10 Have Carried HE County.

MiiedgeviliC, Ga, June 2.-(Sperial.)-Th
contest over the democratic primary which
was held in Baldwin county May 5th has
assumed definite and formidable proper
tons. On lasI Wednesday a preliminary
contest was held before Justices of the
Peace James a. Green and W. IL. II. Barnes
at the courthouse for llpe purpose of re-
ceiving and certifying evidence to be used
in the final contest before the state con-
Vention in August. After apparent aad
thorough investigation of the county rec
ords ana election returns the presiding
justices founS and duly certified TO the state
convention that OF Those who voted "a the
primary forty-SiX Were not on the rf:sistra-
ton books as required ny the acts Of 1891
that twenty others were charged as Ge!in-
Quents on the city tax digest for 1893 and
that So of these Vot ed for Atkinson and six
Tor Evans.
This is merely another phase of the cleo
ton, but gives the whole u very different
appearance from chat of the count of Nav
5tn, which save Atkinson a majority of
votes and seem inevitably to change his
ma joraty of to .43 majority for Evans.
The contest was hotly pushed by the sup
porters of General Evans, but The contest
ees. though formally notified, failed to ap-
pear and participate. Just what steps they
will take to meet the evidence presented by
the Evans comm ittee is not now known, but
this is. generally thought to settle definitely
the course that BalGWin's votes will take in
the convention.
A full delegation for each candidate will
present this certified record.

II, the Bloody Tenth.

Ii is now certain, or pretty nearly certain
that the fight in the tenth this year will
be the same old war OF two years ago
Black VS. Watson.
1t was rumored at first that Major Black
would decline the nomination Of his demo-
cratic friends. This rum0T, however, was
al random, and was poorly founded il
seems, The democrats OF the tenth, who
nave held any sort of political meetings
thus far, have unanimously endorsed tie
conduct Of Mr.. Black il congress ana given
him praise and pledges Of their uuWaver-
ing support. He is certainly the choice OF
the democrats Of all counties that have
taken action, AND, indeed, no other name
has been mentioned in connection with the
democratic nomination in the tenth but
his own, and viii not, most probably.
When Mr.. Watson was in Atlanta, at
tending the third party convention the other
day decided effort was made 10 get him
to run for governor His political friends
as the man to run against the democratic
nominee but he waved the back of his
hanu to them and thrice refused, with ex-
pressions CT gratitude. He said to q Con-
stitution reporter that If he runs for any
office it win be for congress again in the
tenth. He is really already a candidate
there. only awaiting the nomination of
his party, which he VIII. of course, receive
with joyous and jubilant manifestations OF
endorsement.
Thus while nothing is being said about It,
the race In the tenth is gradually shaping
itself to the same forces that were at work
there in the memorable c nllai9n Of tive
wears ago.

housed; the yield is fair. Melons are IN
good condition, but vines near the
roots look yellow. CutWOrms are destroying

In the southeast section of the state, on

nevertheless the crop was considerably re-
tarded. Cotton now on many plantations Is
coming along nicely. Corn is growing well.
Oats are beng cut and average cutie well in

Sunday morning the vote stood: Evans. 60;
Atkinson, rs. Last Sunday morning the Ev-
ans people felt blue Mr.. Atkinson had
skilfully punched his counties and they
came in on Saturday night like a landslide.
The outlook then for the week ahead was
not bright. But the people of
Georgia resented the methods of Mr.. At
kinson. They went to the polls and made
q noble fight with glorious results. In sew
eral counties they ran scared race and
won. In Hancock and one or two other
counties they Were over-confident and lost
by small majorites.
Saturdays tght turned out better than
the Evans folks expected. For instance,
they carried Polk, which was claimed by
Atkinson and was considered a "slate''
county. They carried Dade, which they
considered very doubtful. Camden came
over into the Evans column, when it was
believed to have gone the other way.
Evans carried Putnam, Polk, Dade and
Mcintosh, and Atkinson carried his home
county, Coweta, with Catoosa, Chatta-
hoochee, Pierce and Charlton.
Heard acts on Tuesday and Jones and
Walker Friday. Mitchell also acts at
later date. The Evans people consider
the fight more surely theirs than they
ever have. The generals surest counties,
with a few exceptions, have not begun to
roll in.
1t is a fight TO the end, but the victory
is considered as certain for Evans

EVANS is A WINNER.
THE PAST WEEK he CARRIED MORE
COUNTIES THAN ATKINSON.
The Worst of the Fight Is Over-Eleven
Counties Go to the General and Eight
to Atkinson.

Fifty-one counties have acted and the gu
bernatorial race is little more than one
third over.
Saturday night Evans stock was away up.
The week just closed proved good one for
him.
1t panned out far better than even the
Evans enthusiasts expected.
Evans carried eleven counties and Atkin-
Son eight.
Evans got twenty-six votes and Atkinson
twenty.
Last Sunday morning Mr.. Atkinson had
lead of twenty votes General Evans shas
decreased it to fourteen votes. And OF
these four or more are contested and can
hardly be expected to be rated for MIR. At
kinSon in the convention.
Here are the counties which acted last
week. with the result:

Missing Twenty Years.

Fred Won Baumbach, eX-secretary OF
state of Minnesota, received by mail
few days ago letter written to him by
his wife in 1866. and which he had not
received until now, twenty eight years
later 1t was enclosed IN an old-fash-

read Alexandria instead of st. Peter,
and the original postage stamp was re-

bian issue. Mr.. Baumbach remembers
the facts in the case. He was mustered
out at Madison, Wis, in April, 1866. as
major of the Thirtv-fitt Wisconsin Reg
iment. Leaving his wife at Eau Claire
with relatives, he started out to find
place TO settle, leaving an envelope adj
dressed to himself at St. Peter At that
time it took two days to make the trip
from St. Paul to st. Peter. He went to
the old town of Chippewa, now called
Brandon, and after completing his az
rangements returned to st. Peter and
was not little disappointed in not re-
ceiying the expected letter. Mrs.
Baumbach WAS equally disappointed
when they were united because he did
not bring certain articles which Tie let
ter charged him to purchase fer her.
The envelope and letter are in good
condition. Where the missive has been
since that time is matter of conject-
ure, for the seal was unbroken and the
envelope bore no marks except those
