of the Empire state Of the south, said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Convention: It was claimed in a re-
cent national convention that Georgia
blood coursed in the veins Of the NOM
inee Of the republican party. This may
be true, but with Georgians democracy
is thicker than blood. We bring to you
today the message that from among
the old red hills Of Georgia there will
come later tidings Of democratic VIC
tory for 1904 surprising all the glor-
ious achievements of the past.
In striking contrast with the solemn
occasion, when our republican friends
met and stood pat" is the genuine en-
thusiasm of this great gathering.
The spirit which gives birth to this
enthusiasm is the spirit Of victory. The
smiles of contentment which we wear
today are in contemplation of the po-
litical harvest which we expect to reap
in the fall. AS for our republican
friends the frost seemed to fall in the

giving just such facts and information
as the farmer would want to enable

should it, by any chance, reach Geor-

boil weevil are clearly set forth, and
brief accounts are given of insects
which have frequently been mistaken
for the boil weevil, such as the cowpea
pod weevil, the acorn and chestnut
weevil, the blood weed weevil, the cot

How ballots Were Cast.

In the state election of Wednesday,
October 5th. there were cast more
than 10000 votes, az SHOWN by the
consolidation of the returns which has
just been completed.
Secretary of State Philip Cook, vino
led the entire ticket, received 7O,22S
votes and as he was scratched in some
counties, as, for instance. in Gilrler
where many voted only for judge and
solicitor, the indications are that the
total vote cast was even larger than
that.
The vote for governor and other
state house officials fell short Of the
foregoing all the way from about 100
to 5000 votes, while th 9 Judges and So
licitors generals ran nearly 10000
votes behind the ticket.
The lowest vote was on the consti
tutional amendments, as many did not
vote on them at all. The highest vote
on any constitutional amendment, for
and against, was about $4,000.
The Constitution presents the total
vote by counties for and against the
ratification of the local taxation
amendment showing that it was car
ried by majority of 10,144 votes.
The majorities by which the other
constitutional amendments were car
ried were as follows:
Majority for amendment to article g.,
article Z, section /, of the constltutIoh,
limiting the ad valorem tax rate to
