A trio of prisoners escaped from Early countys jail amid ongoing debates on construction flaws and alleged profiteering by the builders. The piece also covers a humorous campaign card, Democratic and Populist maneuvering in Georgia, anticipated post election shifts, and looming capital adjustments as markets retool for a new political era.
The Georgia Democratic State Executive Committee refused fusion with the Populists, citing independence and the need to protect the party’s electoral ticket.
