OILED ROADS STOOD THE TEST.
But Broome County Floods Wreck
the Unoiled Highways.

The Binghamton Republican, of a
recent date, says that, following a
thorough inspection of all the maca-
damized roads in Broome county that
were swept by the high waters this
year, except the Lestershire road. it
was announced that every oiled road
stood the test in fine shape and that
the only unoiled road, the Conklin
thoroughfare, has suffered damage
that may probably cost $4,000 to
repair.
To say that the county officials are
delighted over the demonstration of
the value of oiling roads is putting
it mildly, adds the Republican.

AUTO OWNERS ARE SLOW
TO REGISTER THEIR CARS

Although automobile dealers de-
clare that there are between 5000
and 10000 automobiles in Georgia,
only 5000 have complied with the
new state law by registering. Secre-
tary of State Philip Cook registered
the 5,000th machine on Monday
morning, and declared with some EN-
phasis that he believed there were
many more in the state which were
without registration.
In Atlanta it is believed there are
in the neighborhood Of 1000 ma
chimes. while only 1000 have been
registered. The enforcement Of the
law is up to the city and the coun-
ty officials, and as all have had
ample time to comply with the law
it is believed that there will be a
number of arrests for failure to reg
lister within a short while.

In a white primary election yester-
day, for the nomination eff a mayor
and four aldermen to serve the city
Tor two years, beginning Jan. 1, the
above four candidates were elected
from thei~ respective WARDS. while
IL. c. Butts was nominated for may
or without opposition, receiving G76
votes QUIT of total of 684 pol'ed.
The fight throughout the day was
characterized by the friendly at:i-
tude which existed between the vari-
Gus candidates Tor aldermen during
the entire day. Often the opponents
from the different wards were seen
mingling together, discussing the
situation, and it can be truthfully
said that cleaner and friendlier
election has never been pulled off in
Brunswick.
The voting started early and be-
fore the noon hour more than half of
the total registration had already
been polled. The various candidates
and their friends were actively at
work early in the day and this
probably accounts for the unusually
high percentage of voters polled.
1t was freely predicted during the
day that C. T. Calnan, in the Third,
aud J. H. Leo, in the Fourth, had a
safe lead, but the race in the First
and Second was considered so
CLOSE that it was thought that it
would take the official count to de-
eide the contests.
The following is the vote by
wards, with the majorities of the
successful candidates:

Leo'S majority

1t can be seen by the above figures
HAT the Second, which is the larg-
est ward in the city proved to be the
closest, and it took second count
sf the ballots in this ward to decide
tae contest. 1t was acknowledged
by both sides during the entire day
MAT the race between Messrs. Me
Kinnon and Wright was close, but it
was not expected that only three
votes would separate them.
1t was generally expected also that
tne contest in the First would be
very close, but it developed that
hopkins won out by safe majority.
Next Years Council.
With the primary over, the com;
plexion of Brunswick's official family
Cor 1911 is now known positively. 1t
will be as follows:

pose of receiving the ballots cast
yesterday, and officially declaring the
result.
