Because of some errors in names and

showings than mere figures show, as they
secured a number of good results. The
fact is, all the shooters are regarded as
subjects for congratulation, as they are
a most excellent set of fellows, among
them being one colonel, several captains

been identified with the department of
agriculture and Industries in the capacity
of soil and civil engineering in the CO.

| this regard by the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, together with the
state agricultural department has been
granted leave of absence by ]. A. Wiki

industries. to take effect on July l, for
the purpose of according Mr.. Cameron
the opportunity of making an extensive
study of irrigation and underground
drainage work in Wyoming and Idaho
Mr.. Cameron has been connected with
the department of agriculture and indus
tries since November, 1909, and the high
character of the work he has accom-
plished has reflected great credit upon
the department, whose Representative he
was.
He has planned and installed complets
drainage system on the plantation of J.
Lee Long of Greenville, which system
has proved most effective and eminently
satisfactory.
Mr.. Cameron Is graduate of the Ala
bama Polytechnic institute, having been
accorded a B. S. in civil engineer degree
in the class of 1904, and at, the recent
commencement of this institution he was
awarded a professional degree which Ia
a testimonial and in recognition of his
proficiency in the line of work in which
he is engaged, also as an evidence of tho
ability he demonstrated as a civil en-.
gineer for the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad company during the
time he was engaged as civil engineer
with this corporation.
After completing his study of irriga-
tlon and underground drainage in the
west, Mr.. Cameron purposes to return
to Alabama, where he will engage In
the line of work for which he has well
equipped himself. The great problems of
irrigation of the western deserts have
attracted wide attention and have drawn
thither some of the best talent in en-
cheering on the continent.
The officials who are familiar with the
excellent class of work which Mr.. Cam
eron has done in Alabama feel conf
dent that he will achieve the highest
measure of success in the new line Of
public endeavor In which his talents will
soon find expression.

COMMITTEE MEETS AND CONSOL-

Second District Congressman Re-
Elected Without Opposition. No
Quorum of New Committee.
The district executive committee
of the Second congressional district
met at the city hall in Albany last
Wednesday afternoon and declared
Hon. S. A. Roddenbery the demo-
cratic nominee of this district for
the sixty-second congress.
The Albany Herald says the re-
turns for fifteen of the eighteen coun-
ties of the district were received and
showed that Mr.. Roddenbery had re-
ceived 1921 votes in these coun-
ties. The vote from the other three
counties will run the total up to
about $1,000.
When the returns had been con-
solidated the committee adopted the
following resolution declaring the re-
suit of the primary:
1.-The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of the Second Congressional
District of Georgia having this 25th
day of August consolidated the re-
| turns from the primary election held
throughout the district on August
%, 1910, find that Hon. S. A. Rod
denbery of Thomas county received
the full vote cast in each county, and
he is hereby declared the Democratic
nominee of the district for represent
ative in the SiXty-second Congress,
and is commended to the united sup
port of the democratic voters of the
district"
Upon the adoption of this decIara-
ton a committee of three was APP
pointed to notify Mr. Roddenbery of
his nomination. Mr. Roddenbery was
in the hall, and in response to the
notification rose and made a stirring
address, to the committee. Mr.. Rod
denbery's speech of acceptance was
most impressive, and the committee
! expressed it's approval of his force
full statements with enthusiastic APP
plause. Mr.. Roddenbery stated that
his address was in the nature of an
enunciation containing certain sug-
! gestions which he thought would be
/ valuable to the people of this dis
! trict and state.
| When the old committee adjourned
the new committee was called to or
! der, and Mr.. H. NJ Mcintosh made
| temporary chairman. 1t was soon
learned, however, that there was not
quorum of the new committee pres
/ ent. On motion of Mr.. Johnson of
Grady county Chairman Mcintosh
was requested to communicate with
the chairmen of the several county
committees and learn who the newly
elected congressional committeeman
were, and to call a meeting of the
new committee at some date in the
near future, at which time the per-
manent chairman of the new COM
mittee be elected, it's organization
perfected and such other matters
given attention as might properly
come before the committee.

SEVERAL ELECTION SURPRISES.

Has Big Majority Over HOrnady.
There were several surprises in
the result of the state primary, the
greatest of which, perhaps, was the
defeat of Hon. o. B. Stevens for rail-
road commissioner by J. A. Perry of
Lawrenceville.
Complete returns show that the
candidates for state house offices who
had opposition will have votes in the
convention as follows:
For state treasurer-Peyton NJ
Halves, 90; w. J. Speer, 272.
For attorney general-Hewlette
Hall, As; Thomas S. Fielder, 500.
For state school commissioner-M
L. Britain, $50; B. M. Zettler, 49,
For railroad commissioners B.
Stevens, 1870; J. A. Perry, 236. Tel
fair county gives a tie vote.

seph F. Gray, 1924; E. B. Hornady,
A.
For prison commissioner (incom-
plete) &C. r. Hutchens, Sc; R. e.

Felder's popular majority over
Hall is $4,000, Grays over Hornady
is nearly 10000, and Perry's over
Stevens is approximately $4,000.
The popular majorities of w. J.
Speer for treasurer, M. L. Britain
for school commissioner and r. E.
Dawson for prison commissioner are
also large.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES.
Livingston and Howard Defeated.
A Number of Warm Contests.

A Number of Warm Contests.
There were a number of interest
ing congressional races in Georgia
Tuesday, but the complexion of the
Georgia delegation will not be much
changed in consequence.
In the First district Chas. G. Ed
wards of Savannah was elected for
a third term, defeating Enoch J.
Giles, lawyer of Lyons. Though
vigorously opposed by Tom Watson
Edwards carried every county except
the home of Giles.
In the Second district Hon. S. A.
Roddenbery, recently elected to fill
the vacancy left by the death of
James M. Griggs, was rejected for
the full term without opposition
In the Third district Dudley M.
Hughes was chosen for a second
term unopposed.
w. G. Adamson of the Fourth was
another lucky man, who sailed in
without fight
! In the Fifth district VIM. Schley
! Howard, young attorney of DeKalb
county, defeated the veteran Lon
Livingston. He carried six counties,
all in the district except Fulton, and
/ Newton, the home county of Uncle
/ Lon.
In the Sixth district Charles Bart
lett, the present congressman, car
ried Bibb and four other counties,
/ giving him a convention vote of IA.
Flynt Of Spalding carried one county
with a vote of 2. Bloodworth of
Forsyth carried four counties with
a vote of TO- John P. Ross of Ma
did not carry any counties.
In the Seventh district Gordon
Lee was returned for a fourth term,
defeating Judge Moses Wright of
Rome by a large majority.
In the Eighth district it appears
that Congressman VIM. Howard is
defeated He carried Wines, Nor
gan, Clarke, Greene and Oglethorpe
Giving him a convention vote of II.
Tribble carried Oconee, Jasper, Put
nam, Franklin, Hart, Madison and
Ebert, with a convention vote of 16.
The vote of Ebert was very close,
Tribble's majority being only four,
and Howard has instituted a con-
test.
In the Ninth district Congressman
S. NJ. Bell was chosen for a fourth
term, carrying all of the Is counties
over his opponent, H. H. Perry, the
flag bearer" Hall county, the home
of Bell and Perry, gave Bell a ma
jOrity of nearly 900.
In the Tenth district Thomas w.
Hardwick was chosen for fifth
term, defeating Eve of Richmond and
Evans of Washington. Hardwick
was bitterly fought by Watson.
Hardwick carried Washington, Will
kinson, McDuffie, Columbia, Hancock,
Jefferson and Talliaferro, giving him
16 convention votes. Eve carried
Richmond and Lincoln, giving him
convention votes. Evans carried
Glascock and Warren, giving him 4
votes. Hardwick's majority of the
popular vote of the district is only
four.
In the Eleventh district w. G.
Brantley was returned for his eighth
term without opposition. The de-
, feat of Livingston, who had served
twenty years, leaves Adamson and
/ Brantley the Oldest members of the
/ delegation in point of service

Select Collins For Durability, Not For
Beauty Alone.

1t should be perfectly clear to any
one that the only thing of real i'm
portance in the selection of collins is
the amount of protection provided
for the body. Beauty in style and
trimmings is desirable, but as it lasts
only for a day it is of no practical
importance. The real coffin is un-
der the cloth, and if it is made OF
wood it will quickly go to pieces.
Whereas the Lead-Coated-Steel cas-
kets. of which A. J. Baldwin & co.
are exclusive agents in Dawson, are
practically indestructible and protect
the body as long as it exists.

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.

In granting the suffrage to women
Washington gives another evidence of
its progressive spirit. The influence
of women has always manifested it
self primarily on moral standards,
and the advent of woman in Wash
ington politics will result in moral
uplift.
This is century which will be
characterized by readjustments, So
cial, economic and political. The en-
trance of woman into industrial
spheres of activity will eventually
result in the extension of the ballot
to her in all states of the Union. TIL
problems of the future will be worked
out by the combined efforts of men
and women working on a plane of
equality.
The majority of voters in this
state, as the election returns show,
were not interested in the suffrage
question. The minority who were
