Georgia Politicians Eye Next Year’s Hot Race

Estill and Grady questions surface as lawmakers debate salaries, while Watson Barnes and others loom in the ninth and tenth districts. A Milledgeville arrest involves Cicero Wilson, a local barber, held after a fight over a colored woman with a white man. The Washington DC side notes Congress may adjourn Jan 6 after a Christmas break.

The item also runs a brief note on extremes of growth, a teething remedy ad, track delays on the S. A.
