A BUSHEL OF DOLLARS
is SHIFTED IN BETS
AmeriCuS Men "PIunqe'' on
Election.

Several thousand dollars were
shifted from the pockets of the Smiths
to those of the Browns yesterday
morning when the result of the
state election was known and the
happy winners demanded the goods
of those who stood on the losing side.
Thousands of dollars in coin, to
say nothing of hats and umbrellas,
went to pay forfeits, while one young
swain here owes enough candy to
start a store.
The bets were largely upon the
general result in the state, while
many were upon county results, parti-
cularly the vote in Fulton, Chatham
and Muscogee, all of which went for
Little Joseph
Hoke's loss of his home county,
Fulton, cost his Americus supporters
heavily.
1t was said yesterday that one
young man here was ito the good"
$500 to $1,000, while others won
smaller sums ranging from $50 to
800. A great deal of Brown money
offered could find no takers here
One better settled his losses with
a wheelbarrow ride.
Shortly before / o'clock yesterday
morning, when the streets were de-
serted, a wheelbarrow trundled in
front of the Times Recorder office.
Upon the deck of it sat a long-limb-
ed professor, smoking his pipe, while
a Smithite pushed him.

SMITHS DEFEAT
MEANS MUCH
Ex-MayOr Myers Says In
CubuS Removed.

SAVANNAH, GA, June 5.-(Spec-
ial) )-Hon Herman Myers, president
of the Chatham County Joe Brown
Club and of the National Bank of
Savannah referring last night to the
election of Brown and the defeat of
Gov Smith for denomination said:
Il do not glory in the humiliation
of any man, and more especially in
that of a man of great prominence
who has been hOnored by the people,
but / cannot but feel that in the de-
feat of Gov HOke Smith, Georgia has
taken a great step forward to the
return of confidence, prosperity and
progress. l rejoice in the defeat that
has come to the Governor not be-
cause of any personal animosity to-
ward him, but because in common
with many thousands of my fellow
citizens, | believed his policies eX
treme views and radical utterances,
the fears as to what he might do
next, stood as a great barrier to the
future development of Georgia. That
the mass of the white Democrats of
Georgia had reached the same con-
clusiOns is evidenced by the election
returns. From a majority of 25,000
two years ago Gov. Smith appears to
have fallen to a minority equally as
great, after campaign in which he
continued to appeal to popular pre-
judiceS and passions of the trained
stump speaker to array the people
around his banner again.
