ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 9.-Ofhcial re-
turns from a majority Of the counties OF
the State show that the Democrats
majority for the State ticket In Wednes-
days election viii run slightly over oO'ON
Governor Atkinson's majority falls be-
low this by several thousand but THIS
fact IS due to a local fight on the mead
OF the ticket. Later returns make prac-
ticaIlv no change in the complexion OF
the LEGISLATURE. One notable feature Is
the fact that the Democrats have car
ried the Tenth district. which is Watson 4
district and is tho closest through the
State. The result In the October elec-
tions seems to insure the election OF w.
II. Fleming In this district and that
means a solid Democratic delegation In
the lower house.
