The article reports a quiet election in a Georgia county with a Democratic governor majority over 25 000 but lower than expected. Populists gain mainly due to negro votes and cotton prices, while turnout was weak with districts like Vienna and Cordele showing low poll numbers. The piece argues Democrats must improve turnout next time.
