Our Goorgia Letter. Election Aftermath?Cotton Season in .Full Blast?Crop Short and will Soon be Gathered?Bryan and his Phenomenal Popularity? Dispensary Situation in South Carolina. % Mr. Editor: Our primary election is oye-, Hie Jong, outer s'ruggle lias ended, the state convention has met and nominated II >ke Smith as the next governor of Georgia. We doubt if any man in Georgia expected such a complete landslide for Hoke Smith, but it came, the greatest victory that any man has had in Georgia lor forty years. Hoke Smith is an able man and will make the state a great governor. Howell is as dea 1 politically as a man usually gets, considering the fact that lie has been in office and wellknown to the public. Macon had the honor of having the state convention meet here. It brought great crowds of people to the city, many ol whom had never visited this, the fairest city in Georgia before li was an interesting occasion, but of course, the nomination for governor was of less interest it- lintro hnan hn<l iJiitii it v; *i u ?

Cotton warehouse men here are kept busy nowadays, handling the lleecy staple as it comes in on wagons and in shipments trom many points. The farmers continue to report bad conditions and say that the crop will soon be gathered and will be the smallest we have had for some years. Great preparations are being m ide for the centennial fair to be helii here this Fall. It will be a celebiation of the beginning of M aeon, one hundreil years ago A.l kinds of attractions are being secured and it promisee to be the biggest !air ever held in the city. An invitation has been extended \V. J Bryan to attend, and should he accept the invitation, this wouhl prove to bo a groat drawing card for the lair, bringing hundreds of visitors here who would not come other wise.
