Vote Against Him
in His Home
District.
Fountain Wins For Sheriff
and Willis Smith for
Tax-Collector

At the close Of one of the hottest
campaigns Ben Hill county has
yet known or probably ever will
know, Marion Dickson won at the
White Primary Wednesday by
nearly two hundred votes.
A Brighter day never dawned-
it was typical Georgia day with
itssunshine and soft breezes. Old
Dame Nature had done her level
best to inaugaurate reign Of peace
and righteousness.
Promptly with the opening of
the polls at 6 a. m. voters began
to make their pilgrimage to the
Mecca of American citizenship,
the ballot box. The procession
continued all day long and Central
,kavenue was the liveliest street in
Ne city. Automobiles, hacks,
Carriages and buggies all added
their quota toward swelling the
crowds who we're ready to do SER
vice for their country in the way
that seemed best to each of them.
Even the auto cycle was pressed
into service, as tug to tow a bug
gy full Of voters to the polls. No.
2 and No. 4 A. B. & A. trains
held up while an auto carried
passengers to the ballot box.
The election was the hottest po-
litical contest ever held in this city
and the most orderly. Every man
was on his metal. 1t was truly d
battle Of ballots and not of bullets.
The Dickson cohorts were full of
enthusiasm as reports from the
country districts came in, from
time to time thru the day. First
it was Dickson ahead; then Dick
son carries outside precincts by
150; 200; $50 and finally at 6
O'Clock the outside districts were
conceded to Dickson by 26S major
ity.
There was a crow d at the
city hall when the polls closed
and every man was eagerly waiting
to get an ear as to how the first
few ballots counted up. When
forty had been counted it was
found that Dickson stood % to
Is. The old political war horses
began to leave the polls then. One
at a time they turned homeward
with a satisfied look upon theil
faces, But not until one-half the
votes had been counted did the
Knapp forces concede the election
of Dickson. Eagerly his managers
and friends hung on hoping that
the box containing the afternoon
vote would turn the table; but
they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. Over 700 ballots had been
counted before that box was reach
ed and Knapp was only about 81
ahead. And in the last 300 count
cd Dickson held his own with q
slight gain if anything to his cred
it.
The Fitzgerald district gave
Knapp 553 votes and Dickson 1872
A majority foz Knapp of only q

It was this shortage of Knapp votes
in the city that defeated him. Al

Mr.. Bob Fletcher, candidate for
