There are only two -aillionaires known

Tt tai votes cast


1t will be noticed that Governor.
elect Terrell, as he is now called in
the Georgia papers, did not receive a
clear majority of the popular vote,
but under their plan no second cleo
ton is held. He did secure a major
ity of the delegates to the convention,
which meets today in Atlanta, and he
will therefore become the nominee of
the Democratic party for Governor.
The convention will consist of dele
gates from the 1876 counties of the
State double in number of the lower
House of the State Legislature.
Very little popular interest is taken
either in the action of the convention,
or in the subsequent election, as the
contests are considered decided by the
primary of June 5.
The total vote in Georgia is about
equivalent to vote of 100000 in this
State, and there is no reason why
there should not be vote of that pro-
portion cast in this State. The regis
tration will exceed 100000, and the
vote at the first State primary should
be carried up to that round sum.

There is a belief among Mussulmans

do this. the artist will be sent to perdi-
