Commissioners
Contest.

with TWO counties having d C)n
vention strength of four votes still
to be heard from, Judge Nash r.
Broyles, of Atlanta, has according
| to the official consolidated votes
from IA counties, majority OF
eight convention votes over Judge
PottIe in their race for the court
of appeals.
Until the receipt at a late hour
Friday night of the results in
Lincoln and Union counties the
outcome of this race was consider
ABLY in doubt, although Judge
broyles was slightly in the lead.
The four counties still to be heard
from would have, however, chang
ed this lead in favor of Pottle had
the south Georgia candidate re-
ceiyed them all. With the receipt
of the information that both Lin
coin and Union counties had given
Judge Broyles handsome MAORI
ties. however, his election was
assured, the total vote of the other
two counties, Charlton and Towns,
being insufficient to overcome the
majority of the Atlanta man.
MAY WIN BY SINGLE COUNTY
In case these two counties do go
into the Pottle. column, ssit will
mean that Judge. Broyles will
have won by the slight margin of
a single county. Had he lost
single county that he carried the
result would have been a co wen
ton vote of 1874 for each candid tie.
1t is probable, however, that
Judge Broyles will carry Towns
county, which is in the extreme
northern part of the state, without
telegraphic or telephone conrec-
ton and that Judge PoGtle will
carry Charlton county, large
part of which is covered by the
Okerfenokee swamp on the border
of the Florida state line. This
would give Judge Broyles con-
vention vote of 1873, with $50 votes
for his opponent.
OF the IA counties heard from
Judge Pottle has carried q and
Judge Broyles II, the latter's
larger convention strength being
accounted for in the fact that he
carried four out of the six 6-vote
counties of the state.
BRoYLEs THANKS FRIENDS
81 am very grateful to the peo-
pie of Georgia for placing me on
the court of appeals" said Judge
Broyles Friday. $50 my friends
who so warmly supported me all
over the state | owe debt f
gratitude that l can never repay.
To those who voted against me |
have nothing but the kindest feel
ings. AS / said in my announce
ment when / entered the race, |
am a Georgian who knows no Sec
tions in his state, and | shall while
upon the bench consecrate my en-
ergies and whatever ability | may
possess to the service of the whole
state of Georgia"
THE COMMISSIONERS RACE
There we're only slight changes
in the race for commissioner of
agriculture, as the result OF the
returns received on Friday.
The contest will go to the con-
vention, to be decided tnere, as no
candidate has sufficient votes to
elect him. With only two coun-
ties missing, the convention vote
is as follows:
j j. Brown, l42, j. D. Price,

Uncle Sans Railroad.

Atlanta, Ga. That the net
earnings of Uncle Sans railroad
across the Isthmus of Panama
for 1911 amounted more than half
the cost, is a fact disclosed in re-
cent government reports which
is both widely co mented on In
local railroad circles.
But coupled with that fact is the
additional fact that the rates
which the government charges
itself for hauling its own freight
are very much lower than the
rates charged for handling COM
mercial business. The former,
according to the reports, is abeut
2 cents per ton per mile, while
the commercial rate is about Z
cents. The Inequalities in freight
rates are prohibited in the United
States by the Interstate COM
merce req lationG.
The govergment' S net earnings
per mile were about $4,000; and
! h average net earnings of rail-
roads in the States is less than
$4,000 per mile.
