Judge D. A. R. Crum defeated
Judge O, T Cover in three out
of four counties in the circuit.
Judge Crum carrying Ben Hill.
Wilcox, and Dooly and Judge o,
l. Cover carried only Crisp by
a small majority.
L. l. Griner was an easy win
ner over his opponent, D. L. Mar
tin, by a majority of $40. The en-
tire Board Of County Commission
ers were reelected. The two
young men, Messrs Barry Clare
and ]. r. Kimball, however may
well be proud of the large vote
they received under the circum-
stances.
The ertire day passed off with
o1t the least friction between the
friends OF the various candidates
despite the fact that each faction
did yeoman's work for their cam
d,dates. Early in the day, close
observers were assured of the
election of Mr.. Griner, as the
large number of ladies who came
to the polls, proved almost solid
for him.
The rather disappointing result in
the race of Mr.. Eugene Talmadge for
senator, who should have received a
much larger vote is largely due to the
political sagacity of Tom Luke. who
managed F. A. Smiths campaign in
the county. We don't know Just what
he used. but it cut into our estimate
OF the vote that Mr. Talmadge should
have received. s~2
The large vote received by Hon.
Clltford Walker in Ben Hill is espe-
claliy gratifying to Mr.. Walkers
friends here, who put their time and
energy behind their candidate.
